Kawhi to the Clips

Lakers are a top 5 seed in the west

If both James and A.D. stay healthy all season, probably.
If either goes down, or combination of, they could be in trouble.
So many good teams in WC.

She deserves this excitement. The forum is now the center of the NBa

I think it's a combo of not wanting to play with Lebron and not trusting the Lakers FO.

He's trying to play catch up with Lebron and be compared to the all-time greats. Hard to do that when you're helping Lebron win titles at the twilight of his career. And as often as it is with Lebron, if the Lakers aren't winning (or really any team that Lebron's on), it's the supporting cast that gets the blame.

You're 100% on the FO. I'm not trying to jab at Lakers fans, but the fact that Kurt Rambis and Pelinka are calling the shots; two guys with no track record of success in the NBA. I would've been hesitant in making that move as well. Plus, you have Jerry West on the other side of the hall where he formed the Lakers 2000's dynasty as well as the monster that GS put together.

I don’t think ‘playing catch up to LeBron’ had anything to do with his choice.

I think he wanted to play with Paul George (both LA guys) and the Clippers were able to get the deal done for George.

Lakers are still one of the best teams in the league

Good for the rest of us they didn't get Kawhi

lol yeah, as much as it irks me I can't deny it...

my view of the Clips has always been that they're kind of an insult to the Lakers. it's always been a Lakers town and it kinda goes against my grain a little. but it is what it is...

lol yeah, no doubt you got what you guys wanted as far as the NBA in terms of "competitiveness level", so I guess it's not entirely a bad thing...

guess you guys can actually watch the NBA this season without calling anyone a lock...

I'm not gonna lie the Warriors dominance made it a bit less interesting

Also, how bout Sam Presti? You got PG locked in for 3 or 4 years, and you let em go? They might as well blow it up

for a LONG time to come...

Depends how they draft...

The lakers are closing in on 10 years of nothing, and if this experiment doesn't work, they have the added benefit of trading all their picks away to rebuild in the future. Could be a long 20 years?

whatever you say...

so, tell me what the Cavs will be doing THIS season...

 

[Taddy Mason]

meanwhile westbrook best teammate now is steven adams

Cool for Russ, now Adams' best teammate is SGA.

 

[knowyourenemy]

The Lakers are a solid 7 seed this year.

 

[Heatles84]

The funny thing in all of this is I still remember 2014 vividly. Kawhi Leonard did the same shit to the Lakers (which impacts Lebron, and I'm not trying to start shit with Lakers fans) that Lebron did to the Heat in 2014. Strung along the team while free agents were going to other teams knowing where you were going the whole time, just to leave them hanging in the 11th hour.
