Wow... I love that Kawhi chose the Clippers. I definitely thought he’d either stay put or head to the Lakers.

This is the best-case scenario. Blows the league wide open. Amazing opportunities for legacy-building.

With Kawhi Leonard and Paul George in LAC, that team has both excellent talent AND depth. Better than the Lakers right now, even if they just got Danny Green.
 
I can’t believe we got Kawhi. I was optimistic, but it didn’t seem real. To have him and PG is just insane. I’ll miss SGA and Gallo, but I’m very excited for the future of this team.

Can I interest any of you in a slightly used Marc Gasol, how about a past his prime Kyle Lowry? Maybe one VG- shot blocker in Serge Ibaka, EVERYTHING MUST GO

I mean you guys could make a push for playoffs again in the east next year at least. Just let everybody’s contracts expire or shop em at the deadline.
 
NOLA = New Orleans Los Angeles. Old pelicans squad reassembling in LA with AD, Boogie, Rondo and Quinn Cook.

i take Gasol, the guy is awesome, can he play basketball? i dont know about that, but for how he spent his last offseason, the guy is a role model

Yeah the contract situation in TOR is really good. Testing out the east and deciding on being a buyer or seller at the deadline seems like the right play

They were something like 17-5 without Kawhi last season. They still have a great shot at getting to the playoffs if they remain healthy.
 
Bobby Portis claims that players knew Kyrie and KD were going to Brooklyn back in February (I'm not buying this but here it is).

Why Bobby Portis knew not to wait on Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving and took the chance to sign with the Knicks

The Knicks identified Portis early, prioritizing him as one of the players they met with on their West Coast jaunt as the offseason began.

“I knew what was gonna happen in February,” he said. “We all knew that (Durant and Kyrie Irving would go to Brooklyn). Everybody knew that. I just don’t think the media knew that. Us basketball players, we all knew that.”

(No, he won’t tell you how he knows. Even players don’t reveal their sources. “I’m not going to leak my source,” he said. “But we all know where they were going. I’m protecting mine, but we all knew where they were going.”)]
