Man you’ve gotta calm down. Again, we have two of the five best players in the world on this team. Something we couldn’t say since 2002. We were all excited about getting AD and were considered title favorites without even thinking Kawhi was a possibility. We all thought either Kawhi or AD, and we didn’t think Kawhi was coming until after the AD trade. Again, so we didn’t form the most formidable team of all time, what we have is good enough for a championship run with the rest of the right pieces as was the case from the beginning.
How do we know Bron is still a top 5 player though? Don't we have to watch him play? Mind you I've been said he'll still be elite in 2020 but this whole tone about bron where its casually like yeah he's top 5 still is absurd......father time is undefeated and Bron's days are numbered. I can't bank on him being top 5 in the world for the next 3 years straight.
Also, the part about being title favorites I was never buying. I know Vegas had us as favorites but I been on record many times I believe our title hopes were based on KD, Kawhi, or Kyrie joining Bron and AD for a Big 3. I can't sit here and casually assume Bron can be the #1 option for a title team with AD + bums in 2020. I'm not saying he CAN'T do it, but the better scenario was to get Bron a 1a/1b partner while also securing our future.
What's our future now? As of today we have 2 stars and we're still signing KCP just because. $16M just because and I'm supposed to be calm.
Oh yeah, no ones talking about this but i hope y'all dont think Bron and Jkidd having little private conversations in view of the cameras at summer league is just a coincidence
get ready for a fukkery filled season my nikkas
