Any mention of the big FA news of the day?

Aron Baynes, Celtics agree to two-year deal - The Boston Globe

Even bigger than this?

Yeah, we talked about it yesterday.

Good signing at a good price.

Didn't know cp3 was in play for the lakers

LOL, yeah, he obviously added him just to pile on a little bit.

Probably thought it would help land LeBron.

Oh yeah, no doubt it is... Baynes has a much better beard.

If Philly really wants Kawhi, they're going to need to open up about trading Fultz.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I think PG13 staying in OKC was huge for the Spurs.

If LeBron is hedging on the Lakers, it puts more pressure on the Lakers to make a deal.

If LeBron decides to go to LA solo or stay in OHio, Philly will likely make a play for Kawhi.

This is why it was smart for the Spurs to let things play out and not rush.

Worst case Lakers scenario is also in play....

Sixers could sign Lebron and still have the assets left to trade for Kawhi.

 

[Heatles84]

Why are the Nets out?

They still haven't bought out Howard.

Lmao....

Dude quoted a post I made yesterday about James winning in LA.

When his post got dismantled, he hit me with the same response.


" When did I say that " is loosely translated to " I'm in my feelings right now "....lol

Chin up, DJ.

LeBron might still be on the way.

Don't really get the mentally fragile egos that occur on this forum, but they're an entertaining bunch (aren't they @TJL?).

I've had @tlance come by and take the wind out of my sails on a number of posts. Never do I go and try to come at his neck though.

Covington, Saric, Fultz and pick for Kawhi....

Sign LeBron outright...

Ffs....lol

And it's looking like the Spurs didn't help their rivals build a super team.

You, @bksballer89 , @trojanfan12 @shopson67 , @tlance , @flyerhawk , @WiggyRuss @Sparhawk @LAD ....and many more

LOTS of posters correct me.

It's okay to be wrong.

You don't have to move the goalposts to try and avoid it.

Nor do you have to act like a gigantic douche bag when 1 out of 20 predictions turns out to be true.

For the record, I'm Team @DJ.

He's one of my favorite people here.

Dude just needs a bit of redirection right now....lol

The Kawhi-Sixers thing is interesting, because most other suitors are in the west and the Spurs clearly don't want to deal him to a WC team. The Celtics have the firepower to do the deal, but are apparently not interested in giving up any of their good young wings. So, question becomes, who are the real alternatives to Philly for San Antonio?

dont underestimate the brent brown/pop connection there may be a reason why the sixers left brown in charge....ive thought since day 1 the sixers are his most likely location

I'm about to do a 180 on my "Lebron's not going to Philly stance". Because I can definitely see that happening.

 

[Iggloo]

Yeah, the Brown thing is huge for a number of reasons. Keep in mind he is also interim GM in Philly right now. He is the one dealing.

From what I have read in the Philly press, the sticking point is over compensation. The Sours like a package including Saric and a first rounder, but they want Zhaire Smith and Philly is apparently not willing to deal him. I think Brown is in love with Smith, who he has compared to...a young Kahwi coming out.

If he wants to stack the deck as he usually does, Philly is the best choice if the Lakers nor Celtics are willing to part with assets.

As currently constructed, I like Boston, Philly, Lakers roster in that order.

But, Philly has cap space and the Celtics don't.

So, Boston would have to part with a ton of assets to get one let alone two max guys.

Imo...That propels the Sixers to the front of the line if LeBron is judging destinations purely from a basketball perspective.

But, I don't think he is.

This could just be a ploy to pressure the Lakers into going all in on Kawhi.

2 year deal worth 4 million....Glenn Robinson 2,0 to the Pistons.
