Kahwi to lakers is 90% done deal. Your new superteam

 

[DJ]

You don't remember him requesting a trade to the Lakers last year when the Spurs traded him to Toronto?

How quickly they forget....

Thomas met with Wizards tonight and agreed to a deal with Washington. Will team with Ish Smith, signed earlier today, to help replace injured John Wall this season.

Charles Oakley rips 'toxic' culture after Knicks whiff on star free agents

And he's right.

He is, but he's not exactly unbiased re the Knicks

 

[knowyourenemy]

He is worse than Elliott....

If there was a video recording of what Zeke allegedly did, I think we’d all probably disagree. But there is no such video...so I guess it’s hard to argue.

Both of them have major problems.

Let's be honest, that's exactly what you've been doing thinking of Kawhi in LA

 

[wildturkey]

There's a lot of smoke that Kawhi is signing with the Lakers. Several former NBA players have tweeted hints to it; Kendrick Perkins, Caron Butler, and Richard Jefferson.

There's also on AEG insider (company owns part of the Lakers) that says its all but done and Kawhi just wants to tell the Raptors in person as a courtesy before alerting the media.

ESPN insider Amin El Hassan tweeted out something like "everybody been hearing the same thing apparently" but when someone asked him why no one has reported it, said that journalists have to go through protocols first.

So it's nothing definite, but there was definitely SOMETHING that went out that NBA types heard today. Gotta think a decision could come Tuesday, Wednesday at the latest

@tlance


Oooof. That is brutal. On the plus side, its perfect for a top 3 pick!

And hopefully my boy Justin Robinson can get some playing time

So the Warriors run of dominance is over and instead of having the NBA be somewhat competitive again Kawhi is gonna be a bitch and ruin the league? I guess I'll have to only focus on Kings games again next season.

So if Kawhi went back to Toronto which teams would you focus on?

Kings and whoever signs Willie Cauley Stein, but now I don't even care where he goes. Thanks Kawhi

Woj on Sportscenter with SVP;

"There is no market for Demarcus Cousins"

Ouch. Said teams aren't even really looking at giving him the mid-level and he could be staring at the vet minimum again. That's gotta suck. Turned down a sizable chunk of change from the Pels last season thinking he could ring chase with the Dubs and get a bigger deal this summer. Now there's no deal and he didn't even get a ring

He can come join Kawhi on the Lakers for the vets minimum

At least he’ll have a ring

I guess if you wanted the actual answer, there wasn't any other team I was gonna "focus" on but I could watch the league as a whole with the more unpredictable nature of not having a clear title favorite(it'd probably be Toronto because they just won it all). Having a team of Kawhi, LeBron, and AD together and they just so happened to be on the franchise I hate most makes me think it's like the Warriors getting KD all over again, who ran through most opponents in the playoffs on their way to B2B titles which probably ends up being 3 in a row had KD and Klay not gotten hurt. If these back to back dominant teams weren't Kings division rivals who I dislike maybe it's easier to still enjoy the NBA because if they win it's not as bad, but that's not the case. If you wanna say I'm not a true NBA fan because of that go ahead, I really don't care.
