2019 Offseason Thread

It was more then siakam
Multiple picks that we done have. Plus some expiring contracts.

Oh, okay. That makes more sense then. The report I heard simply suggested that the Raptors not wanting to give up Siakam was what killed the deal.

Ujiri seems smarter than that, but as fast as things can happen, who knows?

Glad to see that report was incorrect or at least not completely correct.

Look I get it, you're butthurt and salty because you lost Kawhi and a good rotational player that helped you get your championship and need to lash out to help yourself feel better.

No, I’m just laughing at the Lakers giving Danny Green $15 million a year to frustrate the hell out of Lebron when he’s missing open threes against Utah in the first round.

Don’t worry, you’ll laugh too when it happens because there’s nothing else to do about it, least of which be “salty” or “butthurt” about things you have absolutely no control over like sports.

 

[tlance]

Siakam's a VERY good player, but seriously...?!!

Well, it isn’t just Siakam.

That would have capped them out and prevented the Raptors from getting Leonard basically gift wrapping him to the Lakers.

This

You should start a thread on this. IF this above is tru the Raptors were fools

Remember when a few Lakers fans were opposed to trading Ingram and Kuz for Kawhi?

* blinks slowly in contemplation *

Shit, they got the Brow and didn't end up giving up both.

So, withdraws statement...lol

But, yeah....

To keep Kawhi and land George?

I'd drive his ass to the airport myself.

But, I think they didn't get him because of picks.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

It would also be funny if the Clippers moved to Seattle in two years. Just saying.

 

[trojanfan12]

Westbrook has 4 years 171 left. Dont want none of that

Yeah, the Raptors may have been smarter just going after PG alone.

On the other hand, if the combo of Kawhi and PG could get Westbrook to play smarter...

Holy Shit what a team you could have had.

But, it also seems like, at this point, Westbrook is who is and wouldn't change.

 

[trojanfan12]

I thought it was the picks?

They weren't able to keep up.

Clippers had quietly amassed like 12 over the next 4 or 5 Seasons, including their own.

Masai couldn't/wouldn't mortgage the future.

Yeah, looks like that may have been the case and that what I heard was incorrect or I missed something.

There were Raptors fans pissed about trading Demar for Kawhi well into the season. Can you imagine being upset at that for even a minute let alone an extended period of time?

Some fans are just very irrational.

 

[Black Adam]

Well, it isn’t just Siakam.

That would have capped them out and prevented the Raptors from getting Leonard basically gift wrapping him to the Lakers.

yeah, I'm seeing that as all the facts are starting to come out, coach...

just looked real funky at first...

They overpaid a bit.

But, they had competition for the last quality 3 and d guy available.

They also had to pay KCP because...well....Klutch.

Davis still needs to extend this Summer. So, Klutch still has the Lakers by the balls.

If Danny doesn't pan out, they can trade him to the Cavs for another Klutch client, Jordan Clarkson.

If that Siakam thing is serious I’m going to kick Masai in the nuts.

It is

[trojanfan12]

Broussard seems like he is seen as a "useful idiot" that teams, players and agents feed misinformation to so that people don't know what's really going on.

I thought it was interesting that we had some reporters, not just Broussard, making pretty definitive statements about what Kawhi is going to do, who the favorite is, etc....

Meanwhile, Ramona Shelburne was out there talking about how closed mouth all 3 teams were and how no one was willing to say anything, even off the record. lol

Whatever you need to tell yourself.

His nickname should be the weatherman

 

[Mecca]

Yeah, looks like that may have been the case and that what I heard was incorrect or I missed something.

No, some are reporting it the way you saw it.

I just read that too.

Woj cleared it up.

But, even he has insinuated that Siakam may not have been on the table.

In the end, it was the picks.

The Raptors couldn't outbid the Clippers, with or without him.

 

[DJ]

So are we going to talk about OKC dismantling their team again?

RW may demand a trade shortly....Lol

* blinks slowly in contemplation *

Who was that? I want to make sure their fancard gets revoked. lol

I like the Cook signing too.

 

[Mecca]

It was the Tater.

So, don't waste your keystrokes....lol
