[sdscard4]

No you go root for someone else where you sis-boom-bah is warranted!






See how stupid it sounds when you tell a fellow fan to go root for another team?

Might as well vs go root for another.....yeah suggestion gets lost

Yep, those are the big unrestricted guys, if you look at restricted it doesn't help much. It's the free agent class of the brutal 2016 draft.

So far only like 3-4 legit starting players out of that entire first round. Brutal.

 

[Covert Rain]

Ridiculous...The Sarver era has multiple playoffs and great moments. It's only the last 4 years that it's been a complete disaster. Give the organization credit for it's early success don't crap on it over 4yrs

Are you kidding me right now? Sarver has done nothing but ride on the coattails of a team JC built. Jerry worked in the FO post sale. Maybe you forgot. This team has gone south and hasn’t built anything on the merits of his own decisions.

Get real.

After looking at that I can see why there was talk of signing Tyler Johnson to an extension early. He will be a top 10 guard in next year's free agent crop so the chance of retaining him is slim.

Ibaka would make for a nice veteran presence at the 4 next to Ayton if he comes available next summer.

Wow, their owner promised them Zion, Kyrie, and KD before the draft! Knicks fans are pissed!

They are like Golden State and offering up tons of money this off season. It's going to be interesting to see both team's payrolls when the dust settles.

These teams are running a wide open offense with last minute decision making. It reminds me a bit of a spread option offense in football.

 

[Covert Rain]

The crazy money being thrown around in the last 24 hours or so.

It's literally in the Billions. ESPN said last night, most money ever in free agency. I think it's over 2 billion now.

I'm sure Kawhi is listening to this stuff.

I'm sure Kawhi is listening to this stuff.

What is best for the NBA as a whole is for Kawhi to stay in the EC, probably in Toronto. Going to the Knicks might be OK, but he does not make that team a contender. And I just cannot see Kawhi enjoying the NY media.

I still don't quite understand why he would even entertain going to the Lakers. He just won a championship in Toronto as the #1 and that city worships him. Coming to the Lakers, he's arguably the #3 player on the roster! Why would he do that? He goes to the Clippers and he's still a #1 and in a city he wants to be in.

Kawhi needs to stay in the East for sure namely Toronto. He has had more than enough time to make this decision, like all season.

I agree. He seems to be a loner. Joining that bunch in LA does not fit. The Clippers make more sense to me. Now, I can see why he might want to be closer to home, but there are other options than LA. His home is San Diego. That is still a 2 hour drive from LA. Not sure if it makes much sense to fly from LA to San Diego. If he wanted to go to the Warriors or Sacramento--those teams could provide air taxi service and he could commute in an hour.

Kawhi has a home in LA now. That seems to be where he stays when he wasn't in Toronto.

I thought it was San Diego where he just bought a home.

Just checked. Yes. It is San Diego. He bought a home in Rancho Santa Fe in January. That is his hometown, near friends and family.
