    Kuzma, Hart, Deng and a couple 1sts..

    Magic and Rob are some geniuses if they can get him and keep Ingram lol, but realistically Kawhi said he wants out so how much more can the Spurs expect?

    That package really isn't bad tbh, I don't think it'd work but still. Kuzma's already a great young player, a guy who can score in many different ways and shoots real well, defense isn't the best but solid work ethic so I think that'll improve. Hart's already a great defender, wants to (and imo probably will) be on the all NBA defense 1st team one day, he also scored 20+ 5 straight games to end the year so not like he's bad offensively.

    I think Boston makes the most sense for the Spurs, although if Kawhi is serious about LA, it may not be in Boston’s best interest to trade for him. I think LA would consider giving up Lonzo too, since Lavar has been kind of irritating to several people in that org. Either way, this is crazy news. A LeBron, PG, and Kawhi trio in LA is a real possibility.

    Yeah I’d be fine giving up Lonzo honestly especially if they get Bron. Lavar will never go away and Lonzo is injury prone so far.

    Seriously



    I think Kyrie gets shipped out before Kawhi comes to Boston. Can’t throw assets away for rentals. Not with how far they got last year without both. They have Brown & Tatum for 7 & 8 years if they want them. Tatum has top 10 player, if not too 5 written all over him.

    Warriors are still gonna run s--- for a few more years probably, Kings are gonna s--- next year and the Grizzlies are gonna give them another top 10 pick because that team is old AF (prob won’t convey next year, because they’re gonna be bad and might tank out of the protections).

    Ya Danny is clearly infatuated with the idea of getting Kawhi since he sent the Spurs an offer before the deadline but I can't see the Celtics mortgaging their future for a probable one year rental of him. The Celtics can obviously offer the most for him but Danny is probably lowballing the s--- outta them with packages like Rozier and second rounders, would be hard to see him even letting go of Jaylen for Kawhi or the Kings pick. I could easily see Kyrie getting traded though, there seems to be increasing pessimism in regards to him signing long-term next summer. I doubt it's based on much at this point but Kyrie is a weird dude and I could easily see him leaving for the Knicks or some s---.

    It's cute that Philly fans think they have an actual shot at Bron Bron going there. He's not an idiot, he knows the fit makes absolutely no sense. Why would you, as a Philly fan, even want to stunt the growth of Ben Simmons and other young guys for a shot as possibly (but probably not even) buying one title?

    They obviously have a great shot at landing Kawhi - easily the most to offer - but no way they’re signing LeBron. I think the only thing they should be weary of is trading for Kawhi and then him potentially leaving after 1 year there. They have to be sure he’s committed to playing in Boston long term, because you know he’s all about that LA or NYC life.

    It is annoying that they can basically just be the Los Angeles Lakers and players will always want to go play there, but they did do a decent job of getting out of complete s--- from like, 5 years ago.

    well I'd be very stupid to not want Bron tbh..If he comes another star is basically guaranteed to come with him, possibly 2 people.

    I don't understand the part of the Lakers fan base that doesn't want him, it's about winning. I don't care that he whines, jumps from team to team or flops, I care that the team I'm pulling for would immediately be a contender again.

    Sad spot to be in a guess hoping a player you hate comes to save your franchise.

    I don't hate him lol..

    Lakers are gonna be improved next year either way. Even if they don't get any of those 3 stars, they can still re-sign Randle and grow with this group, which most Lakers fans would be okay with at least for now.

    Kon i remember the Kobe vs Lebron days, when he joined the Heat before he won that first title.

    IDK if he ever came to the Celtics and they won, it wouldn't come close to stacking up to any of the championships the Sox/Pats/Bruins have won.

    I hope Lebron goes to the lakers for entertainment values, as long as they get him some other players that can compete with the warriors. I read and watched they’re willing to give up Lonzo and a few younger guys to get a solid squad for Lebron.

    Redsox getting on kon for the days Lebron went to the heat? Lol. Lebron won’t end up in Boston in my belief.
