Boston had a great plan B.....

I'd say they made out well considering.

Gonna read too much into this. Russillo just heard Lakers getting Kawhi. Lace up your purple and gold New Balances

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Hmmm

Maybe Knicks didn't do quite so badly all of those deals but Randle are team options.

Who is Russillo though?

Yeah I don't think what they're doing is horrible but they have to win as the Nets did to try and get big name FA to come in 2021.

I'm not sure if the Nets land Kyrie/KD if they just had another 20 something win season. Those guys had to like what they saw in terms of how hard the team played and the improvement they saw in this team the last 2 years

I was mostly joking, but to answer your question;

ESPN/The Ringer podcaster. Use to do full time radio for ESPN and is a bit of an NBA insider for them. Doesn't do hot take stuff, offers genuine pure analysis on what he talks about

Hearing from a few people we might have an answer from Kawhi as soon as 6pm PST

you are going to have to give the Cavs something of value in that kind of deal that is for sure.

Guess not?

Did he even meet with any teams?

From a marketing perspective, doesn’t Kawhi in Toronto make the most sense?

Not for New Balance

If New Balance wants him in LA, I’m not sure New Balance knows how to properly market a basketball sneaker.

Atlanta Hawks Sign Charlie Brown Jr. To Two-Way Contract


Snoopy Jr. next up on wish list.

Don't let Wiggy's homerism paint a false reality for you. He said the Heat were stuck with this roster for the foreseeable future and that the Lakers would be mired in mediocrity moving forward. Miami has off-loaded a large portion of last year's team, and the Lakers are right now sitting as the favorites for the title. If they land Kawhi (which it's a two-team race at this point), they have by far the most talented big 3 in NBA history (save for the showtime Lakers).

I'm not so sure about "by far". I'm even thinking your Heat should be in the convo. They had 26-year-old Lebron, a still top of his game Wade and Bosh who was playing like Davis (not as strong defensively, but more durable) in Toronto.

Looks like the Warriors are going to try to flip DLo later. This is actually really smart for the Warriors because with Klay's injury, it'll allow DLo to still play and contribute at elite levels and keep his trade value at peak levels. It'll also hopefully keep the Warriors in playoff contention until Klay returns.

Wiggins has been the biggest trade rumor. I saw Aaron Gordon mentioned too. We'll have to see what kind of return might be available out there.

I'd probably guess D'Lo, Jacob Evans and a 2nd Round pick for Giannis. Win win for everyone.

If you can get the Cavs involved to give the Bucks JR I think it gets done.

Please enlighten me then.

How could Toronto be better than LA from a marketing point of view?

Wherever Kawhi goes he is the best player. Lakers could be the next dynasty
