They are meeting with Clint capela next If i hear nerlens Noel pop up I know it’s a wrap for this offseason and the Lakers should just go and sign dudes to 1 year deals to preserve space.

The best thing for the spurs is for Bron to go to Philly...

Then that forces the lakers and the celtics to bust it open...

Tatum and Brown are great young players but neither one of them dudes are going to be as good as lebron and kawhi at their best...

So all that young talent isn't going to do anything but get stomped by Philly going forward...

You tell the celtics either give us what we want or have fun losing to Philly for the next 5 years...

Then you tell the lakers...look what happened to PG...thought he was coming...but he liked it better in OKC...he liked it so much he didn't even take the 5 year that would have guaranteed him way more money...we send Kawhi to Philly...he going to be playing with Bron and Embiid and Simmons...and a former spurs coach he always liked...he going to stay their...you won't even get a chance at him...

The problem for the spurs is do they take Fultz...or do they get Philly to trade Fultz to say orlando so they can get orlando pick...basically comes down to would you rather have fultz and the kings pick...or no fultz but say orlando lottery pick and the kings lottery pick...that might be two top 6 picks in upcoming drafts...I'd rather have the two picks than fultz and one pick...

Anyway if Bron goes to Philly Lakers about to have to trade the whole damn team for Kawhi...except Deng of course :mjgrin:

shyt spurs might ask them to trade for D Angelo again so they can trade him to us :mjlit:

I think the Lakers org. is struggling with the new reality that the Lakers brand don't have the appeal it once had.

That don't mean NOBODY wants to play for LA, but it simply meant more years ago.

Also, Magic last hooped before some of these guys were born.

I would say you'd be better off having Kobe over Magic, but Kobe gonna want to challenge these nikkas in the team meeting.

Someone's gotta explain to me how Philly can make a better offer than LA without including Simmons. That headcase Fultz was even worse than Lonzo.
They were both hurt for most of the year, so... How do you think this??!
Fultz played good when he finally came back also.. Especially considering that he didn't step on the court until what, April??!

You nikkas are going way too hard right now over a meeting.. :deadrose:

It's deeper for the Spurs than "just get the best offer". If the Spurs believe Leonard faked an injury and in the process sabotaged their season and made their reputable medical staff look incompetent just because he didn't want to finish out a SIGNED CONTRACT they will ship him to Philly if the offer is even close.
