So it’s looking like a two year process but you don’t have a season to gamble on Boogie when you more than likely won’t win it. Lol, I still call bullshyt this is too stupid for reality.

I believe the report from Marc Steins. Because if I was Magic I would have done the same thing. Cousins is coming off the WORST injury in sports. We saw what it did to Kobe, Brandon Jennings and Elton Brand. That injury plus Boogie's attitude isn't worth the trouble.

Elton Brand was a 20 pts 10 rebound player for 9 years. After his Achilles tore he never produced that much again. But the price Warriors were gambling on him is worth it IMO. Less 4 mil less than Rondo :wow:

Lebron isn’t trying to deal with a proud recovering star again after the IT fiasco.

:ehh:
I can see why LeBron probably shut down the deal.

Also, I like Magic putting presure on the young guys. The Lakers are the biggest franchise in the sport. Every game is gonna matter this season.

You think Lebron will play some 5?? Randle was so big for us playing 5 for short mins..Mo Wagner can not defend at all.

– Teams concerned about Kawhi’s representation. It’s an uncle and a football guy but no one with an NBA track record GMs can trust. GMs cannot go to ownership with confidence Kawhi will or won’t re-sign because there is no relationship or history with his reps.

— Woj contradicts recent Kawhi/Clippers reports. Says the idea of going to Clippers and head to head with Lebron and potentially being dwarfed by that does not appeal to Kawhi.

— Suggests the days of “godfather” trade offers are over because teams value draft picks and cheap contracts more than ever

— Talks about 5th year option not being the advantage for small markets that the NBA hoped it would

— Marks doesn’t think Spurs have the leverage they think they do. They suggest offers might improve if Spurs allowed interested teams 24 hours to talk to Kawhi

— Woj says Sixers may have more medical info on Kawhi than the Spurs because their doctors have more access.

— Woj doesn’t think any party has the stomach for it but admits that the only way to increase value of trade return would be if Kawhi proves he’s a top 5-10 player again on the court
