Houston will match. Lebron and Kawhi to Philly. Boogie to Nola. Lakers get no one.

 

This whole period is just a reversal of Trump saying “FAKE NEWS” when it actually happened.

 

This dude has been Leonard’s mouthpiece throughout this whole thing basically

 

Lol

 

Simmons/Lebron/Kawhi/Embiid honestly could win a championship next year if a lot of things went right.

 

God I hope LeBron goes West

 

Laker fans hysterical tearful hot takes about how they didn't want Paul George anyway are my favorite thing today

 

Work with three Laker fans who on Friday were so certain they were getting all three of Lebron, PG and Kawhi. I want them to get none so bad just so I can listen to them talk themselves into the excitement of watching Lonzo grow and Ingram become the next KD

 

Fandom does weird things to people.

 

Lol

 

Hell maybe that’s the reason he’s not playing in China yet

 

Hmmmm

 

I’ll be the first to admit us Lakers fans tend to think that star players are headed our way. But it’s usually based on credible reports. We weren’t crazy to think PG would be a Laker. He said as much a year ago. Kawhi is saying it now.

 

Right. Still extremely funny tho

 

Its like dramatic irony. Someone so sure of something being undercut with a harsh reality is, funny.

 

It’s nice as a kings fan to be able to sit on the sidelines and root for chaos every free agency

 

I hope Orlando resigns Aaron Gordon. Its so tough for us Magic fans. The only joy Ive had the last few years is seeing Howard flopping with every new team

 

No one is going to put together a team that can match the Warriors offensively. Houston tried and came very close but we all saw that it’s too hard to be as consistently lethal as the Warriors. It’s going to take an all-time great defensive team (that can obviously also score some points) to take them down. Lebron, Kawhi, Embiid, Simmons fits that mold.

 

Great start

 

That’s a great 1-2 combo. This and sleeping late to miss his day after draft interview or whatever that was lol

 

If the Thunder buyout Melo would they be able to bring in a decent free agent? The nba cap is confusing.

I just want Melo gone. If it happens I’ll be rooting for the Thunder. PG has been getting a lot of hate recently and I don’t know why. He’s a great player who had a “down year” playing with a terrible teammate in Melo. I wanna see PG and Russ without him.

 

Was Melo the only issue there?

But to answer the question they will still be capped out if they buyout Melo

 

Melo certainly wasn’t the only issue but I think getting rid of him will make it easier to fix the other problems.
