Easy old timer!!!!!
Leave him alone!!!!

Some of you Damn Gen X'ers and millenials need to take lessons.

Real men aren't afraid to admit they are wrong, are gracious when correct and are patient enough to explain their stance when in a debate.

That's all OT.


....and Mick...

Celtics in 7!!!!

* hours *

I hope the Celtics can take care of business. What scares me is Kendrick Perkins could have the game of his life tonight. Which would spell doom for the good guys in green.

You can sign Lebron and George by renouncing all your free agents, including Randle.....stretching Deng.

You would have to trade for Kawhi, he's not a free agent.

Gotta think that will cost you , minimum, Ball, Ingram and picks.

George is great as a #2.

Not as a #1....imo

Healthy Kawhi is the 4th best player in the NBA behind James, Durant, Davis.....imo

Plus, you'd have two of the top 4 two way players in the NBA.

Only problem?

They all play the same position.

You could have LeBron as your point, George as the two and Kawhi as the 3.

Who plays pf though?

Kuz?

Definitely Kuzma at the 4. He punishes 4's with his athleticism. It honestly depends on what the rest of the roster looks like. As tlance pointed out, veterans would line up to play with this team. Kuzma could be your 6th man or your 4 with Hart as your 6th.

Unrelated news for a moment. It's important though. Canada just got a lot more exciting. Johnny muther fuckin' Football is now playing for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He has his choice of a couple different teams but chose Hamilton because he found a cheap house to rent from Justin Beeber.

Can the Lakers sign all three of them? Besides is PG that good and doesn't Kawhi get hurt every year?

They can't sign all 3 because only Lebron and PG are FA's. In theory, they could trade for Kawhi, which is likely to cost them Ingram, Ball, this years first and probably a 2020 or so first at a minimum.

Then they could sign PG and Lebron.

PG is an elite level 2 way player. I don't think Kawhi has a lot of injury history.

This proves his injury history is nothing to worry about.

Prior to this year, every one of those is a very minor injury. Given Pop's tendency to sit stars with a hang nail during the regular season, this should not concern anybody.

Yeah, pretty much all of those previous injuries probably went a little like this:

Pop: "Kawhi, I'm sitting you tonight."

Kawhi: "Why?"

Pop: "You have a sore right quadricep."

Kawhi: "I do?"

Pop: "Yes, you do. You'll be better by the next game, that's why I have you out tonight and probable for the next game."

Kawhi: "Okay Pop."

Okay if you are not worried about the history of Kawhi's injuries, then maybe The Lakers won't be worried.:noidea:
