I been saying this shyt for years

The obvious play is for 2 stars to link up and join one of these lotto or fringe playoff teams with a bunch of talent on rookie deals

I thought it would be no chance in hell of LeBron going to LA because they dont have a core nearly as good as Philly's young, CHEAP core, but you cant control location I guess.

He said nothing about the lakers, he said 30-40xs he has loved his time in okc
And at the same time he said he also loves LA, like I said he kept the doors open. I wouldn't care if he just said he will stay in OKC

exactly. if PG13 stays in OKC its obviously because he doesnt want to leave money on the table, cant blame him for that....which also leads me to believe that we are sleeping on the chance for Kawhi to remain a Spur. there is still a chance.

Lebron smart as hell

Wouldn’t be surprised to see him go to lakers and tell them just sign paul George next summer and keep all their assets

If the lakers give up lonzo kuzma and Ingram for kawhi it’s gonna be tough to find a way to build a team that can beat warriors

I think that LA stuff was way over blown with PG to be real :yeshrug:

He wanted out of Indy because he didn't like their roster, his agent pretty much said that in the first part of his ESPN thing about looking up & everybody being gone but him. His last year there he played with 2 guys getting rotation minutes that are out of the league after that season & guys like CJ MIles who was probably a top 3 or 4 player on that team left in free agency.

I would say that no one, especially not Bron is looking to take "a year off" but....by lets say Bron plays there next year with those guys. by the time their rookie deals are up...they would likely be very valuable trade chips that could bring back good veteran pieces or young talent on rookie deals. if the Lakers are looking at the long game, they could fortify their roster for years to come and reclaim their place that GSW is currently holding for them. this upcoming season is the last year of GSW's dominance.

Spurs don't want Lonzo
