Broussard should be out of his job if Kawhi doesn't go to the lakers and I'm not joking

I heard the people Broussard talked to were @DJ, @Shaqdaddy11 and @ChiefsLakers67

Can we confirm this?

 

[trojanfan12]

He looked good...

we looked like microwaved manure...

Came out like gangbusters, built a double digit lead...then spent the rest of the game looking like they had never seen a basketball before. lol

 

[dtgold88]

Not sure. But I don't think so since they would have the cap space available.

Yep...forgot about that.

The Sixers window is the next 3-4 years. Simmons, Horford, Embiid, Harris all making $27M+ a year...Simmons' big contract starts next year

Latest On Kawhi Leonard

After seemingly all of the rest of the top NBA free agents came off the board on Sunday night, the basketball world continues to wait on Kawhi Leonard, who is mulling whether to sign with the Raptors, Lakers, or Clippers. Here’s the latest on Kawhi:

• Leonard has completed his meetings with the Lakers and Clippers, and is meeting with the Raptors today, a league source tells Jordan Schultz of ESPN (Twitter link).
• Team officials for the Lakers and Clippers “appear determined” to say as little as possible about the process to avoid upsetting Leonard or his reps, since Kawhi’s camp has “insisted on total silence,” tweets Marc Stein of The New York Times.
• Despite that apparent insistence on silence, much of the Leonard-related chatter this week has focused on the Lakers. Stein tweets that the Lakers believe they’re “firmly in the lead” for the Finals MVP based on LeBron James‘ and Magic Johnson‘s recruiting efforts. An earlier report suggested that no frontrunner has emerged.
• The Raptors haven’t backed off at all in their efforts to re-sign Leonard, according to Stein, who tweets that rapper – and Raptors global ambassador – Drake may be “mounting his own recruiting campaign” outside of Toronto’s formal pitch.
• The general belief throughout free agency has been that Danny Green will wait on Leonard’s announcement before making his own free agency decision. However, Green’s podcast co-host Harrison D. Sanford said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas today that Green is “considering not waiting” on Kawhi (Twitter link via Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News). Green and his agent are scheduled to discuss things tonight, Sanford added. The Mavericks, Raptors, Lakers, and Clippers are believed to have interest in the veteran sharpshooter.

So I guess from reports he still has to meet with the Raptors.

I think he either signs with the Raptors right then and there or bolts to the Lakers. I think the Clippers chance is out the window by not getting Butler or KD.

Bad look for the Lakers if this is all accurate.

If they are talking and the other 2 aren’t, that might make Kawhi’s decision for him.

Well Stein said team officials are trying to say as little as possible. I think reports/rumors are just ramping up the Lakers. I think it is more 50/50 than most think imo

Yeah, it also said that the speculation has focused on the Lakers. It doesn't say that the Lakers are the ones talking.

If they get Kawhi I think their roster will look something like this:

G - Green, Rondo, Daniels, J.R. Smith, Caruso, Norvell
F - Lebron, Kawhi, Kuzma, Igoudala, Korver
C - AD, McGee, Chandler

They might win a few games with that roster.

McGee is meeting with Houston and I doubt they will bring back Chandler....but I think Jordan Caroline could make the team...

 

[DJ Fieri]

We would need a cheap center to backup AD.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Yeah I just threw Chandler in there. McGee could be an option but either way they would need a backup center to get minutes. Not many options out there.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Talen Horton-Tucker and Nick Perkins could also be wildcards to make the roster.

 

[Bolts]

Warriors sign a former Kings lottery pick big man, sounds familiar...
