I already came up with the NHC broship and it’s looking like a solid investment (Nuggets, Hawks, Clippers)

>lakers thought they were in the running
OH NO NO NONO NOOO

>whiff on PG13 after reports link him to your historic franchise for years
>whiff on Kawhi despite having Lebron, AD and capspace, oh and the nigga is from Riverside
>both go to the Clippers
Lol what a joke organization

And if he misses the playoffs again (it's very possible) it kills his legacy. It proves he was just a eastern conference baby.

Nets are /r9k/ Clippers are the chads

I’m glad this Lebron era in LA is gonna be an embarrassment for all parties involved (AD begging for a trade only to accomplish nothing next to a top 5 player all time, Lebron making a big show of his LA arrival and colluding only to be exposed, front office clearly having no idea what they’re doing, also have a suspicion one of the young players they traded will break out)

If only because I hate the uniforms and don’t want them to become associated with a pleasant era of basketball for LAL

>Need to organize a PG mutiny in OKC because Durant and Jimmy Butler both told you to fuck off

Kawhi's legacy will be the polar opposite of Lebron's legacy

Kawhi really is the anti-Lebron

Where is Russ going? Surely Presti makes a move and pulls the plug on this shit once and for all.

My top 3:
Heat (IMAGINE a Butler-Westbrook tandem peak alpha dog drama)
Rockets (Russ and Harden taking all the shots)
Knicks (because >knicks)

Doesn’t work that way, if he doesn’t win a title with AD they needed more help. If he doesn’t make the playoffs with AD they needed more help.

Im just glad Lebum will get fucked again. He is going to get hurt, AD going to become depressive once again, and their relationship will be disaster.

Im just glad Lebum will be remembered as top 8 players

Attached: 1543863935016.gif (666x386, 342K)

Kawhi won't be remembered compared to Lebron and KD because of his autism. Him and PG will work about as well as CP3 and Griffin did

It’s gonna be the Heat or Timberwolves, bet on it.

No stars want to play with Lebron.
KD said it best, playing with Lebron is toxic. He gets all the credit when you win, but puts all the blame on you when you lose. Also hasn't proven he can change his style to accommodate other stars. Everyone that plays with Lebron is forced into being spot up shooters since he needs the lane wide open to play his game.

4 unprotected, 2 protected, 2 swaps, Gallo and SGA. You can’t even offer that much in 2k

Imagine if Demar signs with the Raptors when he’s a free agent and he gets us to the finals vs the Clippers and he hits a game 7 game winner in Kawhis face to win a championship wouldn’t that be so sick?

Yes you can... they had 2 picks from Miami that they traded

This is the eternal Lebron fag excuse. The man always needs more help, ignoring the fact he's played with 5 future Hall of fame Caliber players.

>celtics
1st round exit

Going to fucking LMAO if the Clips somehow find a way to fuck this up

davis and lebron are enough to take the team to the western conference finals where they will eventually lose againts golden state

That’s 8 picks, you don’t even get that many trade slots in 2k. Also they don’t let you trade picks in consecutive years or that far out

I see timberwolves too but it's all on who OKC think implode first. They still have KAT

they're guaranteed 2nd round as long as stevens is the coach

nah he'd choke it

Honestly I would prefer DeMar to miss the shot and an hero in front of millions

I can already imagine the cope when Kawhi drags PG and his perennial choker reputation to his first ever ring during the first year of their team-up. At that point, even ultra chokers like Harden and banana boat buttbuddy Paul Chris would be lining up to join Kawhi. Then Lebron's legacy will truly and finally be buried by the board man.

If you trade Russ does anybody go to OKC games? Feel like now is the chance to surround him with shooters/kids and pretty much tank, trade him that last year for bad contracts and picks.

Clips might have the softest duo in the league

Good thing they're surrounded by real niggers

The Warrirors need to sign Jabari Parker

Davis hasn't even proven he can make it to the playoffs.
Also Lebron hasn't proven he can carry a team to the playoffs in the west. There is a real possibility they don't make the playoffs next season. Especially if AD misses time due to injury....which he always does.

No true superstar wants to play with Lebron, I’m sure he’s a solid guy and his playstyle works but you have to sacrifice a lot.

If AD misses time due to injury Lebron will have to play significant minutes and not get to load manage to keep them in the playoff hunt, they’re not going deep in the playoffs unless they get a real third player.

Lebron on this team with no AD with Korver, Rondo, Iggy, Kuzma and McGee is worse than the they team had last year. None of those guys can match the 18ppg and defense they were getting from Ingram.

>Korver
He hasn't signed.
Good chance Jerry West picks him up for the Clips.

yes, what else is there to do in okc

Grizz aren't buying him out and looking to trade him. Exactly who do the Lakers have to get Iggy?

Clippers and lakers have switched roles, clippers will be winners for the next 20 years while the lakers will be losers

I’m saying those are the guys I could see them being able to afford that fit.

Rondo

Kuzma

Uh, The Lakers need Darren Collison to come out of retirement.

Iggy is getting traded not bought out.

cope

Imagine trading the best player in franchise history for a one year rental. Leafs won't do shit for 10 years.

>76ers even making the playoffs
I can see you don’t watch basketball

No, Nets will not be that high with Durant out most of the year. They will be fighting for 8

I hope Kawhi catches heat for this gamesmanship he pulled on the Lakers. This is worse than the decision.

Eastern conference doesn’t have one good healthy player.

Trading an all-star level SG that can't shoot beyond the arc to save his life for a generational superstar talent and a 'chip is always worth it bro

>Rondo

Dude is injury prone can't be bothered to defend in the regular season anymore.

You're the ones crying right now, not me.

Media is too scared, but he'll be the most hated man in LA. Clippers don't have fans.

Will you say that for the next 3 years when craptors don't even make the playoffs? They could have won against 76ers, Bucks and Warriors with Demar and remained competitive for the future. The Raptors biggest problem was choking to Lebron, not choking to shit teams.

Anyone else think this is good for the Warriors in the long run? There is no single great super team to take over for the next half decade like we thought there would be. Warriors can take a year off, heal up, re-tool and come back as the top dogs in 2020-2021.

Nobody knew he requested they trade for PG13. Everyone was working on the assumption that whoever signed him wasn't making a trade.

And why is that? What could prevent the Clippers from trading for another super star?

why are spics so dumb

what has Zion even done to warrant this much hype? I swear it was 95% based in Jew Yorker delusion since they assured themselves they would be the #1 pick

also all these Earthquakefags coming out to see a summer league game, when they could have turned on the fucking TV Zane seen Zion/Barrett during literally any Duke game this past year

Lakers acted very juvenile and unprofessional as an organization for a near decade now, acted as though they won a championship as soon as they drafted Lonzo Ball, won the summer league, and signed Lebron. Even if they missed the playoffs or had a significant Lakers figure abandon ship they continued to act as though the title was in their grasp.

Clippers silently and consistently made the playoffs after trading their big 3, got better via smart trades and acquisitions (thank the Lakers for sending 6OTY on that amazing contract via HOU, Lakers got Brewer back in the trade who would go on to tell PG13 in OKC that LAL were a shit show) and have had a top 3 NBA head coach for a decade now. Lakers change coaches and rosters like they change underwear

Just imagine Harden and Durant together... and they chose Westbrick instead.

how about kris dunn, cristiano felicio and otto porter

Danny Green for $15 million a year was the biggest free agent signing for the Lakers in the biggest free agency ever

The most obscure small market team finals ever. Let's see NOLA vs. Charlotte

@wojespn: Following weeks of errant speculation by Lakeshits spics, league sources confirm that "Hoes mad"

leonard told everyone West and Doc from the clippers where his only choose when he wanted out of san antonio why is everyone acting so surprise

Why do people always put the Nuggets at 1st seed in the west? I get them being there last season, but I definitely think there's a higher chance the Clippers or Jazz get it this season with the Nuggets not too far behind

That’s too much for the Bulls

Westbrick is just 2010's Vince Carter desu

who /SPC/ here

It's hard to account for teams leasing their future via multiple picks for a player. There were no indications PG13 was on the market or that he wanted to be traded. Kawhi pulled a fast one on the league.

They have no bench and a 35 year old Lebron. It’d take a goddamn miracle to make it past round 1.

Who and what can the Knicks trade so they can get Westbrook and another a superstar to pair with him so we can get Knicks vs Nets memes?

if Celshits had sacrificed a young player or pick, they could have had Adams instead of Kanter

that could easily be the difference between an NBA Finals appearance and the 2nd round exit they settled on instead.

Picks, Taj Gibson and Julius Randle. Not sure it’s worth it for the Knicks, they’d be a perennial playoff team with Russ but no chance of a title at all

I think Nets will surprise some people without KD, people seem to not care about them just because he's injured. Brooklyn has a lot of quality guys. Levert , Dinwiddie goes nuclear every time its Nets/76ers, now they have Jordan to pair with Allen, Harris is a sniper, also i like kurucs. And of course Kyrie. Apparenly Kyrie actually wants to live in New York and he has his buttbuddy with him now. I think he'll have an All-NBA tier next year carrying them to around a 4 seed. Last year Nets team worked pretty well with Dlo as a centrepiece and next year theyll be mostly a similar looking team, but Irving is way better

Southern niggers are infinitely more like to not act like niggers than northern niggers, grass isn’t always greener

What do you even mean loyalty dumbass? The Raptors traded players there longer than Siakam

Westbrook
Herro
Butler
Winslow
Bam

Yeah im thinking we're back

not true at all

Siakam in theory could eclipse both Russ and PG13. I mean he already has in a way you know winning the chip and all

they are too small, Sixers will have guys with 7'0"+ wingspans guarding the opposing teams 1 and 2 at all times, they will have a tough time scoring

well yeah, at least that's what my friends down south say lmao

Giannis and Masai apparently have a really deep connection, Masai, apparently, helped get his family to obtain Greek citizenship and they have that Nigerian connection, however bullshit that may be. If Giannis wants out of Milwaukee in 2021 the Raptors will definitely be in consideration imo

Send Wiggins and whoever else to OKC for Westbrook is a win-win bro

True you never know but Milwaukee has been resigning and building this team around the sole purpose of getting Giannis to stay. The only reason they offered Middleton that much money was because Giannis wanted him back. Same with Brook Lopez and George Hill. Now that Kawhi has left the east I'm 90% sure at the very least Bucks are going to make the ECF. Only team i can see having a chance is 76ers but they have embitch never being healthy to deal with on a daily basis.

That’s not what Durant said though..

Doubt it, the MyLeague mode is the most neglected by the development team, it changes very little year to year and none of the issues have been fixed. This previous year they added two new features

Player mentorship (veteran players should be able to touch younger players their badges which have way more to do with their stats and the way they play than their attributes which is the only thing you could alter without “cheating” before via training camps or training) and historical draft classes.

Player mentorship does not work at all, historical draft classes of course didn’t include most players (licenses) but was implemented lazy as shit. Historical players were 90 overall as rookies with their appearance being about prime typically, and the draft classes just replaced all the players they couldn’t get with auto generated players so a stacked draft class like 2003 will have all the Hall of Famers, and then multiple 19 year old 76-80 overall players which fucks the league in a single draft class,

you're a good guy user

Durant never that, you're literally passing off your own opinion as a Kevin Durant quote.

how is it not tampering for kawhi to call up paul george and ask him to demand a trade?

Did you see how much he improved in the playoffs alone? His improvement trajectory is insane right now. Of course he could just shit the bed come first week of the next season and it would be back to what was expected of him

Siakim>AD

So after they trade Westbrick for more picks we can all agree OKC rebuild will be the most fun in 2k20, right?

save it for next year

Only retards who don’t understand matching salaries would fall for this low-tier bait

They’re not trading Brick, probably just Adams and Dennis.

Are the players allowed to do just not the teams a.k.a. organizations

I think Middleton has to become a star and you guys need to win the title this year or he will join the Heat or an LA team. No way a guy from Greece/Nigeria wants to stay in cold weather.

The heat are definitely making the playoffs with James Butler. Remember how he turned the Wolves into a playoff team?

Nigga they just got SGA and are in rebuild mode

Players can tamper all they want, I think it's just team officials who are bound by that stuff. Did you not see how Blake and CP3 literally took Deandre hostage so he wouldn't sign with the mavs?

he wasn't even consensus 1st draft pick at the start of nba season. I feel like it is related to doncic and how big he became, so american media decided to hype up zion to cash out more.

Lol no one wants to play with Russ

We would just lose that available money from resigning Kleber, DFS, and Powell. Mavs HAVE to spend it this year.

my wizzies will make the playoffs, fuck the heat nigga

Mavs fans are really crying over missing out on a 10ppg player. LMAO

Who has the power to unlock Andrew Wiggins and turn him into a HOFer? Could Pat "Gangster with N-word Pass" Riley do it?

>dubs and clippers don't make playoffs

you clearly dont know basketball if you dont believe a lead is own as good as the 2nd unit

Nobody talking about what a snake PG is. Just last year he said he stayed because he had really bonded with westbrick and he wanted to win together. Now all of a sudden he dips the first chance he gets? Imagine being westbrick right now.

Guess who wins the Cousins lottery?

Getting rid of thibodeau might help

oh i get you now...youre one of those dude...

It's time for westbrook to reflect and realize it's him

?????

You know, I’d actually be fine with Cousins at this point, but the Mavs FO seems to not be very high on him.

Yes, they accomplished a lot in a very short time frame. Drafted three MVPs, Serge and Sabonis, developed Oladipo and acquired PG13 for the Clippers

he probably doesn't give a shit. he'll get his triple doubles and a first round exit from the playoffs.

Thib did nothing to improve wiggins
Get a real coach in there and see if wiggins improves
he did good his first 3 seasons

This. Mavs should sign Cousins and Marcus Morris. 2 giganiggas to balance out their 2 soft whiteys

the warriors will have a better regular season record than the clippers or lakers hahahahaha

Bros. Kawhi is gone but the raptors are rebuilding around Siakam and FVV. They might not get anything amazing this summer but during the season and the next who the fuck knows. This team could contend again

they fired him already

Maybe try meth

you type like a retard, are you sure the weed isn't working?

He’s the best PG in history, 50-40-90, unanimous MVP season incredible offense, 73 wins three titles. There are not many other players with those accolades

He had a massive advantage since hes one of the few all time greats that didn't play college ball. Thus he will end up playing more games than almost everyone else.

Quit smoking for a while, you've built up tolerance you fag.

Exactly, remember the Raptors personality took a different tone this year. They became locked and loaded and realized that this attitude was the path for a Championship. The Raptors will have the same names, but the team will have a different aura.

When people talk about Championship Experience, the Raptors now have that. They also know how to approach the Season and how to conduct themselves to reach the Title again. They might not have Kawhi, but I think the Raptors are going to be a tough team to beat next Season. And like the Warriors, if they do ultimately go down due to lack of talent, they will go down swinging.

> Curry over Lebron
This past finals made me lose all respect for him. His body language & lack of effort when they were losing & simply vanishing for long stretches made me see him for what he really is.

no one gives a shit about the craptors

SAY THE LINE, LEAFS

4D chess

Holy fucking shit. The PG13 trade came from nowhere. That's a fucking crazy return for him too.

That's fucking huge for OKC, but utterly fucks over Westbrick - they're over the cap and having PG was his last chance of competing, as he's clearly in decline. This sets them up nicely for a rebuild though, although they have a ton of assets and huge trade exception so maybe they'll find another superstar trade.

LAC have a really solid supporting cast. I guess they'll re-sign Zubac, then use their MLE on someone.

Eat shit you fucking faggot

Dragic
Green
LeBron
AD
Boogie

This is still a top two team in the league retards

So with Turonno crumbling, Durant out for the year, the Celshits back to tanking, the Bucks already peaked, who are the favorites in the East? The Sixers? The Pacers?

>so maybe they'll find another superstar trade.
Just let it go and trade Weststats and Adams for picks+young players and expirings.

They still have all their own picks and a young player to build around in Siakam.

I like the Mavs because they are the only team that values white players. Dirk left an impression on them that will never be undone.

I agree with you they should do that - or just keep Westbrick and tank.

I'm not sure those who owners and managers want to do that, though.

They aren't

They're not tanking but they're a solid 5-6 seed

Horford was a big loss for them, now Philly will just dab on them hard and recoup all the historical losses that piled up through the years

Kemba is just a poor man's version of Kyrie and has zero postseason success, the Celtics' young core will not listen to him

The only good thing that will happen for the Celtics is that Brown will play harder to get that max rookie extension, otherwise he's out of the door after being dangled as trade bait for most of his career with the Celtics and will 100% pull a Brogdon next offseason

Can someone tell me what stops 5 superstars from all taking the minimum and getting together to guarantee championships? Pride?

Some lower tier star free agents might take them seriously in the future though.

I'm not convinced that's true.

Also, Westbrick is a liability at this point.

What makes you think im a lakers fan?

The Lakers still had the best off season since LeBron is top 5 all time and AD is the best talent in the league. We still have Kuzma and some moves to make.

Lol at the Clips mortgaging their entire future for busted PG-13, who we didn't even want, and busted Leonard, who would have been a luxury.

Horford was overpaid and shit since his ATL days.

>Magic
Played with a 5 time MVP (before he was drafted), and Worthy, had limited offense and never guarded the most difficult assignment. Only thing he’s better at Curry at is playmaking, lol but look at the pace of that era and utter lack of defense

The guy who was routinely missing the playoffs in a league with less than half the teams of today? Great stats which make him look Kidd tier when you adjust for pace.

Curry is a fucking meme.
He's always been a front runner. When things are going well he is so full of himself. But once it goes sideways he quits. Also he's not clutch. He's 0-9 in the closing minutes of playoff games. The fucker never makes big plays when it really matters.

Kawhi is overrated. He’s always had the best support cast around him. This is actually a blessing in disguise for lakers.

No one cares you cunt you're irrelevant

He could very well be overrated, but how is this a blessing in disguise for Lakers fans? They missed out on FAs who would have been worth their cap space and have no depth in the load management era.

Gallo is as “busted” as Kawhi and PG, SGA is the real loss, but most of the Clippers team is young (Shamet, Zubac, Harrell, Robinson, Harkless all 26 or under). Some of those picks were virtually worthless too. Philly 2020? Wow, im sure that one will have some great odds. With Butler going to Miami those got devalued too. Cope harder bitch.

Clippers will probably regret this trade in 5 years. It's going to get really, really ugly, although their picks swaps might work out better than expected because OKC is probably going to be dogshit too.

this is the trade NBA fans deserve to see

Nah he'll be with Rico Hines this summer working on his mid-range game. Expect Giannis numbers next season.

Still true
In the weak east, vs a crippled Warriors team

kek even you know that's not true

>worse competition
Curry won 1 title facing a Cavs team missing two of their 3 best players.

Then lost to them the following year after winning 73 games.

Then added the best offensive player in the nba.

And lucked out that the Rockets second best player got hurt.
The Warriors could easily have 1 title during their "dynasty."
They had a lot of luck and good breaks go their way.

Put Westbrook under Pat Riley and along side Jimmy Butler and I guarantee you that they'll be top three in the east

>gowiz posting
fuck off

Dolan has no hand in the Knicks. If Dolan was the problem then the Rangers would never sign anyone either but the lynx consistently sign big names and make deep playoff runs.

The problem is that blacks are too mentally weak to be able to handle the pressure of playing in NY

Even if he had a good support cast, he's not overrated, he was the center piece of the championship and played like it when it truly mattered.

This

He's always been a stat padder, last season exposed that even to normies

Javale Mcgee, Cousins, still on the table. I think if Cousins comes to the Clippers Doc will whip his ass into shape and stop him from being an emotional lesbian. Who knows though.

As opposed to the unlucky NBA championship teams of the past? Magic Johnson only ever played for the Lakers because they received the number one overall pick as compensation for Goodrich signing elsewhere.

You’re adding the second best point guard of all time to a team that’s already contending with the best center of all time but Golden State is too stacked for Curry’s Finals wins to count? Either way you look at it Curry was beating Lebron with an MVP on his team, while Stockton was losing to Jerome Kersey with an MVP on his team. How does that make Stockton better?

Kawhi would be defending AD.

Sign Cousins to the MLE, add some vets like Chandler and Pachulia off the bench for extra minutes, teach Zubac how to pump fake and theyre set.

Stockton lost twice to Jordan in the finals.

Arguably one of the top 3 championship teams in nba history. If Durant doesn't go to GS, they are a one time nba champion. And that was beating Lebron and his second best player Delly.

Lakers (Kobe) fan here.

Fuck lebron. I want that piece of shit off my team. Last season cemented what me and my friends have been screeching since 2003: put lebron in the west and see how mediocre he is. Never has any nba player ever had such an ez trip to the playoffs and finals throughout the majority of their career. Not saying he's not good, he's just not Kobe good. Who're the best teams lebron has had to get through in 16 years? 2008 celtics? Maybe the 2014 pacers? The rest might as well have been high school teams.

Just got to a 90 overall in 2k with my pure post scorer, who should I ask the GM to trade for? I’m on the Knicks and just want players that don’t want the ball at all so I can post up, already replaced half the playbook with 1960s plays to discourage the three

Unironically Lonzo. He doesn't shoot.

Stockton played with Malone from 1985 to 2003 and they made the Finals twice, but it was Jordan who kept them from getting a title?

Lol imagine if Curry played with KD that long and only qualified for the Finals twice, how is Stockton on Curry’s level when he had an MVP his entire career and made the Finals less and never won a title?

Jordan, Pippen and Rodman did not play a game together for several years that the Jazz did not qualify for the Finals. In fact the Bulls did not make the playoffs when Jordan retired and his first playoffs back, so it’s not the Jordan’sBulls who kept Horny, Malone and Stockton from a title they were just never good enough.

That’s the difference, Stockton never won a title and only made the Finals twice despite playing with an MVP his entire career. Curry won 73 games and a title, and made two Finals, without another MVP on his team. And when he had an MVP on his team it was considered unfair and they won every year until they got injured. So how is Stockton because he played a long time and racked up assist?

This Clippers team ain't so bad at all, wouldn't be surprised if they won this championship. Especially now that Warriors machine is broke, Lakers is trash and Duran't won't be back this season.

Bulls did not make the Finals when Jordan retired*

they also had a trio prior to rodman
Hakeem was very legit and the rockets

Is this clippers team better than lob city?

Didn't they lose in the first round? Thats 1 step better than a dilapidated lakers who didnt make the playoffs. Again i would wait a bit before jerking off and blowing your load over a KL/PG pick up.

Ok, even if Hakeem and the Bulls 8 years of dominance was a forgone conclusion that’s still ten years the Jazz did not make the Finals?

celtics and lakers were a thing

Kawhi and Paul George are the Brittle Brothers, I like their game but I doubt both of them will be healthy for an entire season

They didn’t get swept by the Warriors with KD, which puts them two steps above the Trailblazers who got swept by the Warriors with no KD. Then they added the Hall of Fame wing players

and the pistons

Cousins is coming on the MLE.

Is Kawhis carrer already more impressive/inspiring than Lelbrons?

They couldn’t get past the Lakers with no Kareem with a point guard that is meant to be better than Curry and Karl Malone on their team?
Irrelevant, they played in another conference and never eliminated the Jazz in a series.

With clippers depth they can afford to sit minutes out

>a top 3 head coach
Doc Rivers, really?

the point is these teams had 3 superstars/stars
jazz never had that and it helps if you do
why do you think that shit is so successful nowadays

No, Lebron carried a team with Drew Gooden to a Finals appearance on his rookie scale deal and led in every statistical category against an all time great team to come back down 3-1. Kawhi won his first title on a pretty stacked Spurs team and this last one against an injured Warriors team.

health during regular season is useless lmao

the #1 seed is mostly garbage nowadays, all you have to do is have 100% Kawhi and PG in one playoff game per series and you can take home court advantage

wouldnt be surprised to see the best team in one of the conferences be like a #7 seed in the near future by resting all their dudes all season

butler is a pussy fraudulent tough guy

I wonder if OKC will try trading for Blake Griffin.

Yeah the best/healthiest team wins
It's what the spurs did for years

PG goes all out in the regular season and then fakes injury in the playoffs

Utah drafted Jeff Hornacek in 1986? By your qualifier of star (since Horace Grant is included in the first Bulls trio) he is an all star and third star player. The Lakers didn’t have a third star player when they were eliminated by the Bulls, there’s no excuses for why a player who is meant to be better than Curry and another MVP can only advance to the Finals twice in twenty years together.

They got another star because Kawhi said "I'm going there, you should too".

I'm not arguing stockton is better than curry
I'm arguing Jazz never had a trio
Plus Jordan had become the nba's darling
and magic and bird's rivalry was before that

...

Phoenix draft jeff
He didn't end up with them until the early 90s

Lmao Lakers fans should blame the media for this fucking charade

kawhi didnt leave the raptors... he gave them a choice. imagine everything played out the same except for the warriors being healthy in the finals and win the championship... masai would be fucking thrilled to make the deal to get PG and kawhi. OKC could literally NOT force toronto to take westbrick because it was PG that demanded the trade. so just because masai got an asterisk championship he suddenly no longer has to do whatever it takes to win? suddenly he can be loyal to his africans? he could have built a fucking dynasty. masai is a fucking idiot.

Steve Nash being slept on. Sad

>tfw Kawhi implemented the "absolutely no leaks or all deals are off" policy because he was scared that his plan to recruit PG and head to the Clippers would be discovered and his 2nd and 3rd options wouldn't want him anymore
>tfw Ballmer really was paying Woj, but it was to keep quiet about the true workings of the deal, not to expose it
>tfw Kawhi let the Lakers and the Raptors waste their entire free agency so he'd have a backup plan
Kawhi isn't autistic, he's an evil genius.
