NBA 2019 draft and free agency thread

[nvrstopworking]

Who are Lakers going to get now? They freed up salary for who? Butler gone, KD gone, Kyrie gone, Horford gone, DLo gone, Kemba gone.

Only big name left really is Kawhi but no way he's going there unless they pull off a stunner.

Lakers are so silly. They didn’t need to get this greedy. Lebron, AD and another of those good FAs would have been more than enough....

[Carbonfibre]

I guess Lakers are going all in on Kawhi and rest of it after thought...



If Lakers don't get Kawhi.


There is still decent amount of players to fill up the squad.


Parker
Green
Chandler
Burks
Shumpert
Morris
Curry
Kanter

[DustinTheHuss]

My Warriors lost Iguodala and KD? Strong WTF.

Beverely being gone makes it real rough.
Danny Green is like the only one you really want out on the floor in a Finals game for significant minutes and hes super inconsistent haha

What if Kawhi waits a week and all these guys are signed and he just goes back to Toronto

[HoustonMiscer]

Whiteside to Portland. Are the Heat trying to make a late push for Kawhi?

lol, maybe kwahi is just testing Laker's patience. Has clippers made any moves, while we are all just focusing on the lakers? What about hte fact that Mavs have also setup a meeting with Kwahi?

Seth curry to mavs

Tik tok Lakers

oh **** blazers just got stronger by picking up Hassan Whiteside. If he stays healthy then blazers got a real shot to go deep. this year.

[Jattfusion]

Kawhi is cucking LeBitch so bad right now this is amazing. These idiot Lakers are just sitting there on their hands praying King Kawhi comes to carry them while every FA comes off the board. In a few days when kawhi doesn't sign with them there will be no options left.

Absolutely beautiful to see.






Please take Danny. Guy is a complete idiot who will try to give away the title in the biggest moments and contribute 32% shooting in the playoffs, forcing you to bench him.

well if you look at hte flipside, what can Toronto do if Kwahi leaves? Toronto will pretty much be left hanging as they pretty much have made no moves. No way raptors are getting outa first round w/o kwahi and the eastern teams getting stacked this offseason.

[YoungMetro24]

Raptors will still win a ton of games without Kawhi next year. They would get a top 4 seed and make the 2nd round. Then in the following summer start making moves as Lowry, Gasol, Ibaka will all come off the books. They'll be fine even without Kawhi. With Kawhi they're the title favorites.

Second round exit without Kawhi. As usual.

[Sikhveins]

Lakers are in their bag right now, just locked down Troy Daniels for 1 year $2 mil.

At least he’s a shooter and they didn’t pay Seth Curry lmaooo

[BostonRockets]

Next year won't even matter tbh. Early round exit at best.

The fun starts when Lowry and Gasol get off the books in the summer.

What will the Raps do then?

[TBO1313]

Butler, KD or Kyrie would've been enough but Horford, DLo and Kemba wouldn't have put them over the top

[nvrstopworking]

Butler, KD or Kyrie would've been enough but Horford, DLo and Kemba wouldn't have put them over the top

Disagree. Either of those guys would have still made them a favourite. Dynamic guards who can shoot the 3 and create for themselves and others? Perfect fits next to Lebron and AD.

Next year won't even matter tbh. Early round exit at best.

Maybe try for Beal... or Giannis if he ends up being unhappy in MIL.

yeah I love it. The awesome thing about LBJ is that you can roll him out with offense-only bench units to start the 2nd and 4th and just devour teams.
still remember how devastating those LBJ + Frye + Delly + 2 shooter lineups would be in the Cavs days. bench offenses cant expose them as easily as the starters


anyone tuning into the summer league games? kings game has Bagley

[HoustonMiscer]

Inside source just confirmed Kawhi has agreed to a deal with Lakers in word/principle and will travel to Toronto to tell them in person/decline thier offer.


Won't say who my source is but posts as soon as I heard from him since I doubt Woj or anyone else has posted on the comment yet.

you're a nobody

[DGen94]

Kawhi should stay in Toronto..they have a good team overall and Siakam will be better next year

Lakers will have AD and old Lebum and no bench

[notWilliam]

you're a nobody

its really not that the info could be wrong, Kawhi hasnt even reportedly met with all the teams yet (including Toronto).
he probably hasnt come to a 100% decision yet hence all that radio silence

gotta realize that if it really is confirmed, all these teams would start acting upon this info given the $M at stake
TOR / LAL / LAC have all stayed put waiting for his decision and forgoing any big signings (i..e, Danny Green)

This doesn't really hurt TOR since 98% of their team is coming back next season regardless. One of those two LA teams (or maybe both) could end up getting fukked though.

[WrestlingFan123]

Clippers are already fukked. The only good remaining free agent is Kawhi......

Inb4 someone argues for Cousins. Lmaooo


Russell will be able to be trade December 2019, Clippers will compete for that trade along with the T Wolves.


Lakers will sign atleast some veterans to a minimum.

Lmao is this kid already backtracking, you said the deal was 'done'.

Time to pay the piper kid.

[ClevageGobbler]

Seriously doubt he wants to play for the Clippers bro, that's where players go to collect their money and enjoy the weather, not to win. There aren't even any legitimate Clipper 'fans' who are willing to yell, waive towels, cuss out opposing players trash talk them at sidelines etc. It's a ****ing Clippers game bro, people only go for a fun time and enjoy the overall experience. Nobody except for that ******* Billy Crystal, Clipper Darryl gives a single fuk about this team lmao



^^^Listen to that crowd. Game winner and the crowd's cheering like it was just another shot lmaooooooooo
Best era is behind them, Doc couldn't advance with Lob City...he's overrated sounds like been deep throating 14 inch cawks since the day he was drafted too

[nvrstopworking]

LOL at the Dubs getting Willy Cauley Stein for just over the minimum I think. Kid's pulling a Boogie and trying to parlay this into a big deal with someone else next year. In the meantime.... going for a ring.

lmao, Lou Williams took a paycut to play for the Clippers, Beverley took less to stay

You sound like Dolan trying to convince Durant/Kyrie to come to the Knicks because of their rich history compared to the BKLN Nets.

Guess what Jerry Buss is dead the front office is in shambles and I'll let you guess how many times the Lakers have made the playoffs since his demise...i'll give you a hint it rhymes with HERO

lmao

Kawhi is Coming

Why wouldn't kings match that? Even if just to trade him?

[nvrstopworking]

I think they just wanted to let him go. Apparently he didn't want to be there anymore either. Plus they signed Dedmon to replace him.

Nobody wants to pay 6'1 guards fool. In this league, it usually takes 6'3 minimum, or taller to make a real impact with the exception of Allen Iverson

This is hilarious, a damn Clippers 'fan' of all people talking chit to Knicks fans hahah. *******s might as well be a WNBA team. 46 years in the league, not one WCF appearance. Why's that. Because superstars know that franchise is a joke. Who wants to play for a team with no loyal fans, no real glory. Like I said, it's where decent talent goes to collect. Never a superstar. CP3 was an exception bc Hornets/League disallowed the trade to LAL

[Jattfusion]

Drake just landed near Toronto, from Miami earlier today. hmm.. why would he not stay in miami to enjoy July 4th? gota be something very important.

if you're under 6'3, it's over for you (in the NBA, semi srs).


Fukn lol @ the clippers banking all their marbles on landing Kawhi. Can't wait to see the faces of the 3 "loyal" Clipper fans that I know of once he re-ups with Toronto and Clippers have nothing to show for as far as free agency goes.

Jazz have improved, Nuggets will be better, Portland will still be Portland, same with Houston/San Antonio/GSW. Pelicans/Mavericks/Kings are young and exciting teams. Lakers got AD. Clippers will be down there with Memphis/Phoenix as teams you least want to watch in the Western Conference lmao if their pipe dream of landing Kawhi doesn't come to fruition.



We all know with Lebron/AD those clipper "fans" will turn laker fans. It's just the Lakers have sucked so bad they needed a team to cheer for as a placeholder. Lob city was there glory days but even that was filled with disappointment. Imagine turning up to the Staples Center in a Beverley jersey and being proud of it. Fuk it, imagine being a "die hard" Clippers fan. That chit even sounds ridiculous saying it and worthy of a few lulz.

[thatsnarf]

Doc couldn't advance with Lob City...he's overrated sounds like been deep throating 14 inch cawks since the day he was drafted too

THIS. most overrated coach in league history. literally did shiit with orlando (sooo bad) / boston (until kg/ray allen came)

- then underachieved with lob city every damn year....

- made the celtics players leave 100$ each in the roof of staples center to motivate them to come back and win championship. lol
