But I think the best thing would be to do away with the max. There is no reason that the 50th best player and best player should make the same money. In their primes LBJ and Durrant should have been making 50+ million a year, all the sudden you can't put AD/LBJ and Kawhi on the same team because they are all worth double the max.

Off topic: is there a reason why you keep writing Durant's name with two r's? I've been wanting to ask you that for a year now I think. | ||

Barely a month ago the Warriors were the gold standard of team chemistry, impeccable front office management, great coaching on all levels, and overall tight-knit organization. Now, everyone is throwing molotov cocktails inside the house. The Iggy situation proves that owners/managers will always protect their own interest even if it derails players. The coaching is still good. The front office hasn’t been great ever since jerry west went to the clippers. The clippers, on the other hand, have been good. They made the playoffs while having two max slots open and a bunch of promising young players in the mix. | ||

Similarly, the Raptors getting out from under the Derozan contract was a stroke of brilliance whether or not Kawhi re-signs. | ||

Quick answer is because I suck! For some reason whether it is pronouncing or spelling a name if I get it wrong the first time I get it wrong forever after. And then even after it is pointed out it is really hard for me to change to the correct one. I'll work on Durant now, but expect many failures! | ||

If Leonard waits until after the 6th I think the Lakers can not continue to offer the same amount of cash they are offering right now. So if Leonard continues to delay the decision he is probably not going to the Lakers. | ||

That drafting them takes away all their choice on where they want to play and therefor they can get choice at the 8 year mark. Perhaps furthering the luxury tax would help.

Wait actually it might be the owners would not like it since they maybe don't want to pay durant 50 million a year. Removing the max might not lower the 50th guy's salary much. I'm not sure. | ||

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/27128448/lakers-delay-ad-trade-kawhi and then the AD/Pelicans/Lakers transaction resulted in a bunch of other moves by other teams. Some guy on reddit listed them all. If any of these teams and players gets cold feet or perhaps learned something that changed their minds this is a great excuse to renege on a deal. LOL. | ||

Kawhi needs to sign with the Lakers by tomorrow, or else deal is off because of AD/NO situation, On July 06 2019 07:19 Elroi wrote: You're not wrong Jimmi.

Some misspelling are so funny I think JC does it intentionally as a running joke to smoke out spelling nazis here lol. Kawhi + PG13 to LA confirmed!!! BOOM!!! | ||
