I dont understand the idea of rebuilding and tearing it down if Kawhi leaves,someone explain it to me.

We were 17-5 without him,were a top 5 team still in East without him...(Lowry,Siakam,Gasol,Anunoby,Powell or Van Vleet)

We could fill out our bench,we run it back see what happens in the playoffs then we have 80 million in cap space in 2020.

Why would try to get rid of everyone this summer and risk missing the playoffs going into 2020 when were trying to convince players to sign here ?

I agree if kawhi leaves and if Marc leaves I’d go into next year with Ibaka, Siakam, anunoby, Powell, Lowry. Sign a couple of bench guys to 1 year deals and then ride it out.

Blow it up for what? Trading Lowry 33 mill deal you’ll be stuck with a deal with years on it

Right now raps only have Powell signed for 20/21 blowing it up would mean you’re stuck with deals that go longer

You can still make the playoffs next year with the same team,id rather go that option into 2020 then bottom out getting rid of everyone finishing 10th going into 2020,i dont understand how that benefits us...We want to sign players next year,how does being absolute ass going into that off season accomplish that ?

If Gasol opts out you will have some money to spend this year and ur probably still a playoff team...I liked Gasol on this team we dont beat Philly or Milwaukee without him but in game 6 he wasnt on the floor.Ibaka,Van Vleet and Siakam were...I still think were a 5-6 seed without him too.

I agree
Plus to me you can’t win a nba title and then just trade away everyone

Exactly were not the Florida Marlins going out business and shyt...it would be a horrible look which is why i dont think Masai and Bobby would consider it.
You want to make the playoffs next year and be competitive going into 2020...

I also think anunoby is going to have a breakout year. I remember in camp dude was ahead of Siakam On the depth chart at one point then he got injured

Just run it back if Kawhi bounces. Cs won't have Kyrie, Jimmy will likely be out West, and KD is out no matter what, even if he also joins BK. Raps still finish Top 3 with only Mil being the likely one ahead.

Load up on some fukkery scorers like Jamal Crawford and VC for his retirement tour, and good to roll. Give Pascal the keys and let OG redeem himself.

Raps repeat :smugdraper:
