OaklandIsBack Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 The upside is so insanely high the risk is hardly even a consideration. The starting line up come April is going to be the best PG and SG in the league, the second best player in the world, the best defensive player in the game, and whatever Boogie is, potentially the best center in the league besides, what else could they have done with the MLE?

Wings Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Rumor has it that the Spurs what this haul from the Lakers for Kawhi Leonard: Ingram, Kuzma, Hart, 2 First Round Picks and 2 draft pick swaps Spurs have to know full well that the Lakers wouldn't do this so that's what they asked for. Kawhi to the Clippers or Sixers if the Spurs trade him? Another supposed rumor is that Kawhi isn't to keen on going to the Lakers now that LeBron is there.

Kawhi needs to figure out if wins are more important than being "the man". If he doesn't he might as well just sit out the year. Obviously the Spurs don't expect to get all those pieces but if they've decided to start over again getting as many youngsters as possible. Tony Parker may play next year but after that he needs to go. Manu still contributes but I think he'll be done this season or at least when Pop goes.

Reports on Monday were that in order to trade Leonard to the Sixers, SAS wanted three 1st Round pics and two current players while the counteroffer was Saric, Covington, and Miami's unprotected pick for 2021. SAS can basically wait until December 15 at the earliest and the trade deadline at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what "basketball people" tell me, it still might not be enough, and even if so, they'd be swept in the finals. I really hope they don't make a deal unless they can guarantee he's staying for 4 years. Trading Saric and future pics for a rental would be crapping all over The Process.

dfwabel Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 There's another part of the Lonzo Ball struggles/issues which really weren't known. In February 2017, him mom, Tina Ball, suffered a massive stroke. Kent Babb of the Washington Post covers her recovery and her struggles to speak. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/sports/wp/2018/06/14/feature/lavar-balls-wifes-quiet-recovery/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.dec1aa710788 Babb talked about it deeply on the Tim Bontemps Washington Post podcast.

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Tony Parker to the.....Charlotte Hornets. Now that Lebron has gone West, who's the team to beat in the Central? Gotta be Milwaukee. I think with Indiana, everything sort of went their way last year. They're still a playoff team, but not as good a record this coming season. I hope this is the year the Pistons finally pull it together. The Central is wide open now. There's basically 9 playoff teams in the East, with Boston, Toronto, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Miami, Washington and Indiana pretty much playoff locks. I think the last spot belongs to either Detroit or Charlotte (who got rid of Howard and whose last couple of drafts have been solid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I've said this a lot throughout the last few years, but the Spurs time of contending is over. And hey, Carmelo is leaving OKC. I bet he tries to join one of his "Banana Boat" pals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Tony Parker is reportedly out of San Antonio. Probably won't fix issues Kawhi had, Tony was the one giving him the most grief, but Tony's been banged up for so long I couldn't see him getting through the season. Clears a spot for trades though.

The_Admiral Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 The token "you can't say Jerry Reinsdorf doesn't spend money" signing while continuing to operate the team in a way that isn't meant to compete for titles EDIT: this was to match an offer sheet from Sacramento?!? GarPax getting outmaneuvered by the front office that thought the Kings should play a man down on defense so that there's a fifth guy hanging around the other basket. Oh well, should still be 41 nights of well-behaved, well-sponsored fun at the United Center. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
