let's be real, Kawhi is a luxury, not a necessity.

We have two of the top 10 players right?

It's greedy if we need a 3rd. Realistically, two should be enough to compete for a title. I ain't trippin if Kawhi doesn't come. We need to focus on surrounding AD and Bron with a cohesive roster. Let's not put all our eggs in the Kawhi basket considering we're a distant 3rd place, if that.

So after July 1st the Lakers get $5M they can use in trades (cash considerations). Maybe they can use that to entice the Hawks to take on Wagner/Bonga/Jones. Send those three to Atlanta with some cash to cover their salaries and they could send us a future top 55 protected 2nd round pick.

After all these years of being trash I’m full of greed. I don’t want to take any chances at all. For me he’s a semi-necessity, but you’re right we can win without him too.

But as much shyt as I’ve talked I actually agree that I wouldn’t trip if Kawhi doesn’t come. Toronto is an amazing situation so I can’t be mad at him keeping that going. Also, there is a danger in waiting for Kawhi while the good role players get signed up.

I don’t think we’re a distant third tho, I’m not buying the clippers shyt at all. If the front office goes in then that means we have a real chance. I’m cool with rolling the dice in that situation.

Cool. I disagree tho, I think we do need a 3rd star to have the best odds but we also could do without it and have good odds.

My concern is not putting too great a load on AD and LeBron and with a 3rd star we can have another method of attack if the defense keys in on the other two.
I wouldn’t worry bout it. Both them nikkas require double teams themselves. Plus y’all still have Kuz, he’s a good cutter and moves nice without the ball, and I think his 3 point shot will return to the mean after last year’s slump.

Factor in Bron being a great passer that can zip it to dudes anywhere, y’all should be ok

I’ll tell y’all this... if y’all can get D’Lo AND Lopez back, re-sign a Reggie Bullock or someone like that... it might be a wrap

As long as we could get one more defender in the starting lineup I agree. If Kawhi did the unthinkable and sign with the clips I’d love to sign Danny Green on some troll shyt and have him cake off and get his rings up. :russ:

I'm not opposed to bringing back D-Lo but that source, just not buying it. For center, I'd like to bring back McGee and/or bring back Brook. We are only 6 days away from FA :lupe:
