Rda was a dummy for using his real initials. They found him out to be Jeannie's nephew. Lol, reddit even got his real name because he was so sloppy. He might be in trouble now with his family leaking high level talks, ouch

Mr Rambis is connected to AEG/co-owners of Lakers so he is a different source. He has been on point and smarter than using his own initials.

Both would be connected into the Lakers system.

watch him say **** you to all of us the clippers lakers raptors and just sign with a different team

[Bosnian Sajo]

He’s thinking about the rest of his career not if his team can get some random nobody to help this season. He’s making a major life decision. He doesn’t owe the Lakers or the clippers or the raptors anything but a decision when he’s ready to make it. He has years to be a laker. He’s probably not tied up with 2020.


Oh so the other 40 players who signed Sunday/Monday weren't thinking at all and recklessly signed contracts with no thought about the rest of their careers?



My apologies kblaze, you're so intelligent and keen.



It doesn't help that you're posting in a thread in which we have a source from an insider that the deal is all but completed and they're working out minor items/waiting for Kawhi to formally inform the Raptors like he did the Clippers last night. No, you're totally right and the person with an inside scoop probably isn't.

he's a laker fan, they aren't known to be the smartest.



lakers front office player scouting consists of photoshopping lakers jerseys onto players from other teams.

fans are even worse why bother watching your draft picks play or scout players when you can just photoshop a lakers jersey onto harden and westbrook and add the caption "lakerrrrs new big-5 2021- gEt it dun robb and jeenie!!"

On both accounts, how? I'm not gonna waste my time typing if you aren't going to put a little more effort into your criticism.


It's already painfully obvious that everyone in the NBA is tampering. Kemba was on a plane to Boston like 4 hours before free agency started and Durant/Irving/Jordon signed with the Nets as soon as free agency started. This notion of "he's thinking about his career and his future" is laughable as if he hasn't had all the time in the world leading up to free agency.

He's taking his time for whatever the reason and it's costing us and the other teams (now only the Raptors) involved.


But by all means, continue to claim how absurd I am.

it's not costing the raptors anything to be honest. we won't make any moves this summer and will have a ton of capspace next summer - we'd bring back the same roster whether or not kawhi resigns instead give more minutes and development to siakam and og.


the only team hurting from this is the lakers, and the clippers who are still in the race according to some reporters - I don't see that personally (the clippers) they just don't have the roster or the potential to flesh out that roster now that all the top-tier free agents have been scooped up.

I'm just hating - you guys got AD like we all knew you would because of the rich paul lbj connection and now you have a legit chance to get kawhi - might as well pack it up for the next few seasons if that shit happens.

I suppose you're right about the Raptors, but surly they would have been more motivated to find a replacement for Kawhi even if the player might not be half the player Kawhi is, they'd likely go out and search for a new SF.


Lakers, albeit I prefer that we not waste max money on anyone available other than Kawhi, could have made other moves like picking up low cost players such as Seth, Aminu, etc.


Clippers we agree on what went wrong for them. They had the space for 2 max players but still were not able to land anyone. RDA (the guy who said Kawhi to Lakers is done in OP) last week informed people that the Clippers brass and owner were pushing "x player to Clippers, y player interested in Clippers" stories in order to generate hype and hopefully that way land a free agent....which was ultimately unsuccessful, as we've seen in free agency. It didn't work.

lakers will still get their min guys - most of the other pieces are off the board already. if you guys didn't get kawhi probably would've split the cash between a top-tier guard like brogdon and a solid bigman for 8-10mill.



that's why the lakers front office is so desperate and all-in on kawhi and that's why all of these fake reports keep coming out. I'm not saying it won't happen I'm just saying there's a reason why all of these stories have the slant of "lakers are confident" - it's because they're the ones giving the news, tipping off the likes of shelburne and whoever they have on payroll.

1. We don't know if the source is reliable

2. Lets say it mostly is, those "minor details" you are referencing can't be worked through in a couple hours as they would include;

-What kind of access does his inner circle get?
-What positions are available for people in his inner circle on the team?
-Is the medical staff what he wants?
-What is the team position on his load management in terms of minutes / games?
-What is his envisioned role on the court next to Lebron/AD?
-What is the plan to add the necessary defense/shooting/depth short-term and long-term?
-What business connections can the Lakers (Magic) open up for him?
-What endorsements can he lock up quickly on the Lakers?
-Do they have seed investment connections that can allow him access to start ups?
-How will he be featured off the court in terms of standing next to Lebron?

Those are all questions I'd have for sure and I've thought about for 1 minute and don't really care because I'm not that in that situation.

And, of course, I'd ask what the **** was going on in this franchise for the last 6 years and why there was so much dysfunction and chaos.

These aren't things you just get worked out quickly...especially if you are listening to 3 different teams pitch you.

He doesn't owe anyone anything and signing the biggest contract of his life and locking in 4 years somehwhere is a decision he should take as much time as he needs.

If the Lakers and Lakers fans can't handle it...then don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Which leads me to my original rebuttal to kblaze, are you truly assuming that Kawhi and only Kawhi has these questions? All the other players in the league just sign up without any question, regards to their situation?


Durant who has a ****ed achilles can sign the second free agency starts, but Kawhi has questions which leads to 3+ days of negotiation? Jimmy, whose body has undergone Thibs rotations for years, has no qualms about the medical staff and how they plan to allow him to rest occasionally?


Do you understand my point? I understand yours, but I do not agree that is the reason why he hasn't signed up till now.

[red1]

So where are we disagreeing exactly?
I don't know where you saw the word disagree I was just adding more facts.



I guess we disagree on the lakers being a bullshit ass franchise or not. I've never seen the fans of a team spend all of their time photoshopping jerseys onto every player from every single other team. maybe the knicks fans have you beat - at least you guys GET some of these free agents :oldlol:

No, not only Leonard is asking these questions, but he's in the rare position to ask for these things and be taken seriously. 99% of other players aren't...so they could ask them, but teams would just laugh.

So a Durant would obviously have the same power, but he had made up his mind a long time ago to play with Kyrie and to leave the Warriors. So the Durant example really doesn't make sense at all as a comparison.

Have you thought perhaps that Leonard is actually torn and that he needs these questions answered?

[red1]

The most amazing thing about all this is Kawhi has proven himself to be a low key and quiet about it total attention whore. Which is surprising because he’s constantly portrayed in the media as the opposite and he doesn’t carry himself in a flamboyant manner.

He’s at the top of three team’s lists right now and he’s had all year and then some to consider his options.

How long does it take to meet and talk to all three teams to answer any questions he had?

I don’t for a second think Kawhi is an indecisive dumbass, and given as such... it seems to me that he’s either attention whoring or actively trying to sabotage two of the three involved franchises.
not even close, he's doing exactly what he said he would. he said he'll have a meeting with the raps tomorrow, clippers and lakers yesterday and today. we'll probably get his decision tomorrow, maybe even as late as thursday.


the only people creating this sense of urgency are the fans who are desperate to know who lands where, and the media who make their money whipping everyone into a frenzy. FOs are just playing the nba game, if they want to take a risk and wait, then go ahead and take the risk and wait. if it pays off, it pays off. it it doesn't pay off, then it doesn't pay off and you just move on.

I wouldn't say we're a bullshit franchise...far from it. But I will agree that our fanbase can get pretty cancerous. It is what it is, I feel like every franchise, especially when equipped with a good team and stable front office/coaching staff, attracts the moths of the sports world.

What are you gonna do about them, y'know lol. I'm not gonna like the team anyless. I was a fan when Kobe was leading the team, a fan when D'angelo Russell was our best player, and a fan rn with one of my most hated players on our team :oldlol:


Btw, I've spent time with preeetty toxic Toronto fans as well. This summer, we had a dinner at one of my buddies house and the Raptors/Bucks were playing game 6. We eat dinner and watch the game afterwards, and during the 4th quarter one of the dudes rooting for Toronto calls up his boy IN Toronto on facetime to repeatedly ask him "you wanna go watch the finals live?? LETS DO IT IM DOWN. this is so lit!" all while it being in the middle of the 4th quarter and in front of everyone trying to watch the game. Can't tell you how much I was cringing lol.

[Shogon]

not even close, he's doing exactly what he said he would. he said he'll have a meeting with the raps tomorrow, clippers and lakers yesterday and today. we'll probably get his decision tomorrow, maybe even as late as thursday.


the only people creating this sense of urgency are the fans who are desperate to know who lands where, and the media who make their money whipping everyone into a frenzy. FOs are just playing the nba game, if they want to take a risk and wait, then go ahead and take the risk and wait. if it pays off, it pays off. it it doesn't pay off, then it doesn't pay off and you just move on.

Ok he

[Bosnian Sajo]

No, not only Leonard is asking these questions, but he's in the rare position to ask for these things and be taken seriously. 99% of other players aren't...so they could ask them, but teams would just laugh.

So a Durant would obviously have the same power, but he had made up his mind a long time ago to play with Kyrie and to leave the Warriors. So the Durant example really doesn't make sense at all as a comparison.

How doesn't it make sense as a comparison when there have been reports that Kyrie wanted Brooklyn while Durant wanted Knicks? They both wanted to play together, and obviously decided ahead of time (reports have come out that they already planned ot play together as early as the start of the 18-19 season).



Have you thought perhaps that Leonard is actually torn and that he needs these questions answered?

Could be. Could be, I'm not gonna sit here and say it's not that when there's no way to prove that one way or another.

Absolutely that could be it.


But absolutely Kawhi could also be dragging this, when it all could have already been done. Neither idea is absurd.

not gonna lie current lakers fanbase is reaching critical levels of AIDS ebola cancer infestation with the bronsexuals mingling with the already low IQ media driven lakers stans. half the guys in the media are lakers fans and the other half are bron stans.


even if you guys win you'll spend all summer fighting amongst each other.


if you guys get kawhi and DON'T win? ohhh man would be more hilarious than 2011 heat for A LOT of people. :roll:

I'm gonna be happy just competing. The last time my team was in the playoffs, I was in high school ffs lol. I have absolutely no issue if we don't win the title this year, next year, or the year after that. It will just be nice competing alone.

[red1]

Ok he’s doing what he said he would but how does that conflict with what I said?

Kawhi isn’t stupid. Kawhi isn’t indecisive. He’s had well over a year to make up his mind. Any loose end questions could have been wrapped up in a few hours tops.

This situation is ridiculous. He’s attention whoring or sabotaging. I just don’t know which it is. Perhaps we never will.
he's just not plugged into the same insanity that we are. not everyone checks their phone every 10 minutes or refreshes their page every 10 seconds all night long like laker fans were doing last night.

Kyrie and Durant have been working on this for a long time. I think that is clear by now. It could be that Leonard, after winning the title and with AD going to the Lakers, is now torn. As you admit, that is certainly reasonable.

Yes, it is absurd to compare Leonard to the 40 other players like you did in the post I responded to.

[Shogon]

It’s possible but I don’t believe it unless he literally doesn’t have a cell phone.

Additionally, he knows the situation all three teams are in and he sees the free agents flying off the market. He knows what he’s doing. Kawhi isn’t dumb.

You could be right but I very much doubt it.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Seems fairly clear I am right


It seems fairly clear that you are something, I'll tell you that much. Pompous, arrogant, supercilious. That's it, supercilious.


If this deal was a straight up transaction you would be in the right. Strictly looking at it as a business, you are right...but you are doing the same thing as dmavs, and that's assuming that they just started talking this sunday at 6pm est on the dot. As if these talks haven't been going on since he was put on the trading block by the SPURS, let alone being an expiring contract on the Raptors.

He's known where he wants to go all along, you are well aware of that as much as I am. It's always been LA. Did things change after winning with the Raptors? Personally, I believed so. I thought he was going to stay, I even made a thread about how I would prefer him to stay for the good of the league. It's nice having a winning franchise in Toronto, makes the league more exciting imo.

This notion that you guys have, that he is deciding his life and future affairs in the span of the past 3 days is what is absurd. That any player decides his fate in free agency only once free agency stars is absurd.

:applause: :applause:

I do have to disagree at the end there.

The TOP free agents, that is true of.

But the second and third tier guys have to wait to see what offers come in and often do have to wait.

But not Kawhi. He’s playing games.

[ErhnamDjinn]

lmao at people calling out GSW before for building a super team yet its ok for Lebron to bring AD and Kawhi :coleman:

It's not that absurd dude, Al Horford's decision on where he will spend the next 4 years of his life are just as important to him as Kawhi's decision is important to Kawhi...good god damn.


Lebron is probably the BEST business man in the NBA and has the most important decisions to make when it comes to business and all this other shit you and kblaze have mentioned, wouldn't you agree? So how the hell is it possible that he was able to make his decision on the first day of free agency.


Again, with respect to your point, it could be that he is legitimately torn between the two teams...But now look at it from the perspective that he is heavily leaning Lakers, what makes the decision so much more time consuming for Kawhi than it did for Lebron?

[red1]

And that's the difference between the bonsexuals and the actual Lakers fans.

that's the thing- there wouldn't be a whole lot of competition which is why I hope it doesn't happen. the west is already wide open for the lakers next year if kawhi signs then it's over, practically a guaranteed chip if healthy. :oldlol:

[QUOTE=Shogon]It

[n00bie]

This is a really hard decision for Kawhi so I understand why he needs to meet all 3 teams and think about it before committing to a team on a long term contract.

On 1 hand.. he's got a great situation in Toronto & they just won the championship. He's going to be the leader of the team & might win another championship if he stays.

On the other hand.. he really wants to go home. He seems like a family first type of guy, and I think that's his priority.

Between the Lakers & Clippers.. I don't believe he actually wants to play for the Lakers but what choice does he have? The clippers had made no moves at all. He'll have to play more games to carry the team into the playoffs. He'll be in a worse situation than Toronto. In Toronto he had the luxury of sitting out on lots of games.

Lakers, he'll have to deal with all the LeBron drama and media spotlight.. but he'll be able to advantage of more load management as he doesn't have to carry the team.

Not an easy decision to make.. If I were him, I'd have no idea what I'd want to do either.

People are unique and often take different amounts of time to make similar decisions. Not sure why this needs to be explained to you as Leonard is one of the most unique stuperstar athletes we've ever seen.

You don't know if he's made up his mind just like I don't know. We don't know anything.

All we know is that he hasn't decided yet, or at the very least, hasn't let the public know.

[Shogon]

lmao at people calling out GSW before for building a super team yet its ok for Lebron to bring AD and Kawhi :coleman:

The Warriors have an established core that won 73 games together and traded basically Bogut, Barbosa and Barnes for Durant.

It’s not the same thing, try as your mind to skew it to be.

Durant to Warriors would be like peak Shaq to the 1996 Bulls.

Peak Kobe starting a team from scratch with prime Chris Paul and past his prime Shaq would be closer to what might happen with the Lakers. I’m sorry if you don’t see the difference but it is indeed different.

It’s still bad... it’s just not KD to Warriors bad.

Ugh from sound of things this may drag on for another 2-3 days..we might not have a final decision until the 4th or 5th..very annoying.

The ability of people who argue incessantly as if they couldn't possibly be wrong to turn around and act like im the arrogant one is amazing to me.

You are on here talking shit about a guy you expect to bring your team to a level rarely seen in sports history because instead of saying hes coming on day one...he might wait till day 2 or 3...which could potentially cost you someone 70% of fans will have to google to know anything about. This is what you are concerned about.

You do not know shit about this man. Nobody does. He sat quietly for months and split on the best organization in the NBA without so much as a hint as to what went down. Hes the quietest star in sports with nothing to suggest his leanings about anything except often contradictory reports from people who have a source who has a source who delivers his moms groceries.

Hes been a free agent for a day and change. His plans were known. His basic time table. But here you people are online acting like asses and questioning his character and professionalism because he not moving as quickly as you want.

Let me ask a question from a seriously "supercilious" place....


Who the **** are you?

The actual owner of the Lakers would likely shut up and bow down if he said "Im coming...but on Friday" because HE is the prize. The prize sets the terms.

If he comes to the lakers you know that this entire 2 days will never be brought up again right? All the dozens of times a big free agent signed somewhere....

You remember even one of the stories from people annoyed it took too long?

Miami had to wait for Lebron.

And?

How those banners look?

Youre in here bitching over nothing. Nothing. Today. Yesterday. Tomorrow.

We are so far from a single moment of anything mattering we might as well all log off.

If this happens the Lakers will likely end up with Lebron, Leonard, AD, Kuzma, and Iggy as the core and some vet role players. And your hang up....is Leonard taking his time reducing the pool of vet role players....as if he really gives a ****? As if the Lakers give a ****. The Lakers could end this right now by throwing the money at role players but they wont....because its ****ing STUPID to worry about end of bench guys when arguably the premier free agent in history is on the line being reeled in. Think about it....when is a top 1-3 player and the finals MVP available in his absolute prime?

Its like trying to sign Tim Duncan a month after the 03 finals but getting impatient because his gradual process may cost you Speedy claxton and Danny Fortson.


But by all means lets get bent out of shape because the most talented trio anyone will have had since Wilt, West, and Baylor might only have a budding star an elite champion material two way role player and whatever shooters come cheap as support.

I get the fear. They may be too thin in year one to win. Much like Wilt/West/Baylor and like Bron/Wade/Bosh.

My response?

**** it.

No team with a core as talented as this would be ever failed to win. This one wouldnt either.

If you get 2 rings out of it when you could have had 3....im gonna repeat some old directions...

Get somewhere and sit down.

Leonard owes nobody a swift answer. If he waited till nothing but D league guys were left the Buss family would still pop champagne like anyone else with any sense.

Youre bitching about winning the lottery because it requires you to drive down to your states capital to claim it. There are people with real problems you know?

There are hungry Wizard fans on the corner willing to trade their **** virginity for cap space and second round picks and you in here acting an ass over probably getting a top 5ish all time free agency addition because the timing is making you squirm.

Go get a slushie and a hot dog and be thankful.

[qrich]

He'll have to play more games to carry the team into the playoffs. He'll be in a worse situation than Toronto. In Toronto he had the luxury of sitting out on lots of games.

Clippers kept Beverly, added Mo Harkless and took a big they are high on being a Mitchell Robinson type with who has shown some confidence to step out behind the arc. Shai, Shamet, Trez and Rome will still improve.

They still can bring back Green with the Room Exception, retain Zubac via bird rights after signing Kawhi. And have a nice treasure chest of picks they can use in a trade. Plus, someone Wilson Chandler might be retained for the min.

So, essentially, assuming they get the Klaw, they'll be running back a 48-win team that took the healthiest version of the Warriors to six while upgrading from Temple to Harkless, adding a lengthy big and the youth improving.

First off WHO is talking shit about Kawhi? All I said is it's ridiculous how long he's taking to make a decision and THAT constitutes to shit talking? Get off your ****ing high horse.


"Go get a slushie and a hot dog and be thanful"

Those are the type of comments that make you supercilious. Go get a hot dog and shove it straight up your ass, kblaze. And then rub a slushy around the rim of your ass hole for a cooling effect.

You do realize that your first post to me when I wasnt speaking to anyone in particular included:



My apologies kblaze, you're so intelligent and keen.

But sarcasm like that isnt at all condescending is it?

As I said....we are on a forum full of ***** with amazingly high opinions of themselves who seem to think that when I respond in kind that I invented arrogance. Guys will sit down and argue for 180 posts about how right they are then tell me I always think im right as if....they clearly dont think they are right.

I dont halfway do anything. If I explain what I think....I will leave no room for misunderstanding. If I think youre being an ass....I will explain exactly why.

I never cared if anyone responded the same way to me. Nobody ever has been or ever would be banned over it or asked to speak to me with respect. I talk to all of you the way id expect you to talk to me. But if you start out sarcastic expect me to respond. And not halfway. I dont often half respond to anything.

If youre gonna be a dick expect me to be.

That said....I dont have any particular memory of your personality so I responded to your original tone to me. We have no history I can recall to shape how else id respond. Im not sure how you got to 10K posts without me remembering much of you. Team forum? Off court?

The people here I kinda know I respond to differently. Shogon for one....after all these years I know hes a dick....exactly what kind...he knows me....there isnt much to discover or fight about far as approach.

I dont know you so well. Which again...is surprising. Maybe its the avatar change. I remember a lot of people by avatar not name....

[DMAVS41]

That would be a fair response if I was the one making said decisions. And because I'm not...

Exactly, you aren't making the decisions and you don't know anything.

And I hate laptop keyboards almost as much as typing on a phone.

I'll assume he will give me some loquacious thing on how im an asshole with a god complex because I tell someone hes wrong after they tell me im wrong and.....I dont see that going anywhere.

I am gonna order some beef with broccoli and watch a shitty cam version of the Dark Phoenix movie since im sure it wont be good enough to justify paying money to see it. There really is NO way this is a good movie.....

Being a snarky dick on here is half the fun imo, but it is a little curious when the guy calling others arrogant is the one proclaiming to know things they can't possibly know...and being a douche in the process.

I wouldn't even waste someone else's data downloading that movie, let alone yours. That series wrapped up perfectly with Logan and they've never set it up properly to do the Dark Phoenix story justice, the original one back in 2006 or the one just released.

[Kblaze8855]

Well youll be happy to know I turned it off after about 5-6 minutes. Jean was in a flashback scene in a car with her parents....then talking to professor x later....I couldnt go on. I did waste the data....I did not waste the time. Im gonna move on to the new Shaft. A girl I know has a scene in it where shes an extra dancing in a club and clearly visible. I said id watch it for that alone....but id likely have watched it eventually anyway. Samuel L has a high watchability.

OP, stick to posting LeBron body pics.

Hurting myself? I'm just fine my man, just not backing down from a verbal back and forth when before id just brush it aside.

"I got time today" :oldlol:


At the end of the day it's just basketball, ish just helps me pass the workday by quicker.

Alright just making sure. Just seemed like you were being a little more moody lately (no offense, glad to hear everything is good) and I would never take winning an internet argument about sports over someones health.

kblaze I've said all I had to say on the matter, only thing I'll add is just because you didn't quote someone, doesn't mean you aren't responding to them...especially when your post comes right after, talking about exactly what I brought up.

But like you said it's going nowhere, and I agree. Enjoy your broccoli.

Yea because I'm the only one here being a douche...it can't be the guy following me around saying everything I inject into a convo is "absurd and wrong". I definitely got a little abrasive but not without provocation. Anyways, to hell with it.

Clippers kept Beverly, added Mo Harkless and took a big they are high on being a Mitchell Robinson type with who has shown some confidence to step out behind the arc. Shai, Shamet, Trez and Rome will still improve.

They still can bring back Green with the Room Exception, retain Zubac via bird rights after signing Kawhi. And have a nice treasure chest of picks they can use in a trade. Plus, someone Wilson Chandler might be retained for the min.

So, essentially, assuming they get the Klaw, they'll be running back a 48-win team that took the healthiest version of the Warriors to six while upgrading from Temple to Harkless, adding a lengthy big and the youth improving.

:confusedshrug:

Raptors were 2nd seed with Kawhi sitting out half the season. Actually, the Raptors won MORE games without Kawhi in the regular season.

I know people just sweep the facts under the rug for there trolling purposes. Shows Raps had very good pieces around kahwi unlike many times where Lebron carried dead weight. Imagine love coming out and scoring 30+ in gm 1 of finals shooting 14-17 from floor Lebron not showing up and Cavs winning?? Nope I couldn

[PP34Deuce]

Actually think the fact people can't call this swings more toward the Lakers favor.

Woj, etc all have plugs everywhere but the Lakers and Lebron. It's Kawhi's decision but I'm sure Lebron is advising on how not to leak.

I think Kawhi makes the decision late tonight or Wednesday morning. Gotta build the press up.

[NBAGOAT]

kawhi must be the only free agent who followed tampering rules :oldlol:. It's the lakers fault not kawhi if they get stuck with g league guys. It was a risk well worth it but still a risk that has downsides. Sets your future for 5+ years ideally if you get him. Like i'm guessing if it was dangelo or even kyrie, the lakers would've moved on already to plan B.

Dragic is not a bad contigency play for a year imo even though it's the only one left lol. miami would gladly give him up even attaching a pick for cash considerations.

But I'm not following you around dude, you happen to be posting things I strongly disagree with in threads that interest me.

It isn't personal at all...just like I agreed with you in a couple points earlier.

Just relax a bit and enjoy the lively debate and enthuiasm.

Doesn't look like championship contenders to me. Very good team but not good enough to beat the Warriors once Klay returns mid-season or Lakers with LeBron/AD monster.

Woj certainly is directly connected to Clippers so I don't think you can trust anything he says, good or bad

I was 100% wrong and made wrong statements. Doesnt change the fact that my main grievance here is the fact that it took him so long and costed the other two teams (specifically Lakers) big.


We just spent our cap space on green, cook, McGee, and kcp. The first two I'm glad to add to the team, I like em. McGee is soli0d as well...but we spent 30m on those 4 instead of at least adding 1 guy like Brogdon, pair him with green and sign cook to mle. Oh well, let's hope Iggy and Korver still choose us over Clips :lol


It is what it is. Best move for the NBA, sucks for us Lakers fans. The league is going to be FIRE this year.

Yea, but you realize you sound entitled as **** when you act like players and organizations should somehow do what is best for the Lakers...right?

The Lakers willingly waited on Leonard, but in the end, the Clippers offered him a better team and situation...can't blame him at all...

And, in the process, he hurt the very team he's going to have to contend with.

Dude handled everything perfectly for himself and his new team.

Right....so how do I sound entitled when you agree that he ****ed up the Lakers? Should I be happy and smiling that Kawhi did the best thing for himself while the team I follow directly suffered from this decision? Especially with it taking so long.


You're looking at this soly from the pov of Kawhi and his new team. We have our own POV as well. It has nothing to do with entitlement, and everything to do with fandom. You want the best for the team you follow, do you not?


Entitled yet we been out of the playoffs 6 years in a row....meanwhile the clippers made the playoffs even during their rebuild.


At the end of the day, none of that matters. Without knowing the outcome it's worth the risk. Lakers still gonna be a top team and Clippers are looking amazing. League is now wide open.

Because you have been acting this whole time like Leonard did something wrong and that he owed the Lakers something.

When, in fact, he played it perfectly....and of course hurting your competition is something someone should be trying to do.

Of course I understand why Lakers fans are upset, but this was the risk...and Leonard did nothing wrong at all. He made the best decision and joined the better franchise. Crazy to say that, but clearly the Clippers are the better franchise at the moment...

[Bosnian Sajo]

He did do something wrong for us, hence you not looking at it in our POV. Does he owes us anything? Of course not, I never spoke of such a thing. I don't know how else to explain that to you so I'll ask that we please drop it, I'm not going back and forth again.


As far as clippers being the better franchise? Looking at this current decade, it's hard to argue. Historically ofc Lakers better...but this has always been a "what have you done for me lately" league.

[DMAVS41]

Kawhi is really taking his ****ing time....this is ridiculous. Doesn't he realize he's doing the team a disservice by making us wait all this time? All the top role players are being gobbled up.

You and I live in different realities.

[Kblaze8855]

Not playing for the lakers(which is all he did) is not doing something wrong to them. They did everything to themselves in the hope he would come.

The raptors lost something they had no choice in. The Lakers lost only what they decided was less important than the chance to sign him.

Playing for someone else after taking a perfectly reasonable 5 days to consider it and get what you want done is not wrong.

Like I said, I put out some wrong statements. It is what it is, you get caught up in the moment. End of the day this is good for the NBA and that's that.

Got me thinking what if we managed to sign George last year...and lebron didnt come over lol. Would have had the young core plus George and Kawhi, with all our draft picks in tact.

[DMAVS41]

Could have been.

Or they could have still made the AD trade and you'd have George/AD.

Would be interesting to know if Leonard would rather have joined George/AD then Lebron/AD.

My guess is that answer would be a yes...with George so much younger than Lebron and a player that can play without the ball in his hands as well as George can.

He wasn't considering shit for those 5 days. Dude was begging for Paul George to come with him behind the scenes. He snaked the Lakers. End of story.

100% this. That's why I never wanted LeBron to come to the Lakers in the first place. Now we're stuck with his corpse for the next three years. Hopefully by the time he leaves, Kawhi+Leonard can come to the Lakers.

Total bullshit.

What do you think would have happened if the Thunder said no to the deal and both the Raptors and Clippers couldn't make it work?

He would have likely gone to the Lakers.

Also, you can't "snake" a franchise you have no allegiance to or agreement with. It doesn't even make sense.

Its not being a snake...to not play for a team. Which is literally all that happened.

If hes telling the Clippers if they get Paul he will come...obviously theres room for them to NOT get George and for him to do something else. THe Thunder could have just said "Hes under contract for years....no" and its a different discussion.

Things had to be worked out. You dont owe any of the teams that miss out when you choose who to go with. A guy might have 4 teams after them. Its not being a snake to all of them who dont get him.

Thats not a rational place to land.
