Shit not his fault. He would prefer this shit to be quiet. But LA and Toronto don't do shit quiet. WE know how Kawhi is.
**Official NBA Offseason... Big Names switch teams, Kawhi/P13 to LAC...wtf Westbrook and CP3 traded
- Thread starter Mask
- Start date
You are funny
Being indecisive 4-5 days into FA isnt gonna get you peace and quiet. Kawhi loves the attention right now and holding these teams hostage. This is giving us a slight glimpse into how he fell out wit the Spurs. He high maintenance. If he do come to LA I already expect him to sit half the season.
if he doesnt sign the supermax, teams will only be able to offer him like 35 mill...
Sports media (ESPN/FS1) so full of shit it’s laughable. They push those narratives 24/7 trying to influence the players/teams to make certain decisions and I think it works sometimes
I laugh everyday because i’ll watch those shows on ESPN/FS1, shake my head at some of the stuff they say and then come on here and see dudes repeating the same stuff word for word
Max Kellerman was actually arguing with Isaiah Thomas, ISAIAH MF THOMAS, about basketball. The arrogance of these mfs knows no bounds. The worst basketball we have ever seen in the pros is in the 1% of the 1% of talent in the fucking world yet these devils want to tell the man about the sport he plays.
Kawhi ain't doing nothing though. Tell the Lakers to move on to another free agent or trade Kuzma for a 3rd star. Kawhi ain't holding nobody hostage. These teams want to fast forward to a championship....aight well fight for his services. Small price to pay for a player of his caliber. Its a mess but its a mess because of everyone involved. All this shit "leaking" out ain't just because of Kawhi camp. LA themselves been leaking shit.
Five Potential Blockbuster D'Angelo Russell Trades

Yes, I'm well aware that D'Angelo Russell was just traded to the Golden State Warriors and given a max deal by the team. Despite the new contract and his new team, this doesn't seem like a long term fit for the Warriors, but rather a future trade chip they can use down the line. This was an idea first mentioned by longtime NBA reporter Marc Stein, who said it would just be a matter of when they trade D-Lo, not if. That's super interesting, seeing that D'Angelo is a promising young all-star, but the fit next to Steph Curry and Klay Thompson is a bit odd.
NBA rules prevent the Warriors from trading D-Lo until at least January, but we're sure teams would be lining up when and if they officially put him on the block. Maybe everything works out with D'Angelo in the Bay and he fits great with Steph and company, but if not, they should be able to easily find a deal for the young All-Star The Complex Sports team cooked up some potential D-Lo trade ideas because Kawhi Leonard still hasn't made a decision and we need something to occupy our time. Enjoy and remember, these are potential trades for down the line. Not immediately. Please stay out of my mentions.

D-Lo Finally Gets to Minnesota

This is the most logical outcome to the situation. Hell, the Wolves planned a helicopter ride for D-Lo for their free agent pitch meeting with him earlier this week before the Warriors swooped in and completed the deal. That's heartbreaking for the Wolves, but in this scenario, they could still get their guy. We know KAT would love it.
For the Warriors, Covington would slide right into the vacated Iggy role for the team. If they want to get real wild, they could also trade D-Lo straight up for Andrew Wiggins. That one would surely break NBA Twitter.
D'Angelo Joins Jimmy Butler in Miami

Let's get wild. The Heat need to add more talent around Jimmy Butler and the Warriors need help on the wing after trading Iggy and losing KD. This fits the needs of both teams and sends a first rounder to the Warriors. A Jimmy and D-Lo duo in Miami could be deadly.
D-Lo Heads to the Chicago Bulls

Before you freak out about the "value" exchange on this one, remember that that the Warriors already have the top tier talent in Steph, Klay, and Draymond. They need to add better fitting pieces and Otto Porter would be a perfect fit as a 3 and D guy for them. The Warriors would also get a pick in this deal, which they need after giving up two first rounders in the KD and Iggy trades. On the Bulls side, they get a proven all-star guard to add to their offense.

Aaron Gordon for D'Angelo?

When is the last time the Magic had an all-star PG on their roster? The answer would be Jameer Nelson in 2008. Yeah, they should be all in on figuring out how to get D-Lo out of Golden State. For the Warriors, they add some great frontcourt talent in Gordon and Aminu, which could bring back some defensive intensity to their squad. And don't say it too loud, but Gordon would be nice Dray insurance if they let him walk next summer. Just saying.
D-Lo Heads Back to NYC

The Knicks had an eventful first few days of free agency, but in this move, they finally get some top tier talent in D-Lo, while shipping off some pieces that would fit nicely with the Warriors and what they want to do. I really just did this one because I think Knicks fans deserve some joy and happiness. Let's get them an all-star!
Well I'll say this..........I don't know if Isiah fits this but ex-sports athletes have some of the dumbest opinions to the point you wonder are they suffering from some form of CTE or if they just like saying dumb shit. Then you look at what the best player of all time is doing at GM...........I don't trust shit MJ say.
Why would he not sign the supermax?
Suns gave him away. That's crazy. I don't like his game but just two years ago he was a top prospect.
Real talk,
If Stephen A scoops them on this story they need to fire Windys fat ass for sure. A few of those other fuckers as well.
Yea.. they say these guys are making alot of demands, contingencies and requests behind closed doors.
Chris Carter is one annoying muthafucka.
Ok, I'll just root for whatever team Kawhi signs with except the Clippers. Fuck em.
I been paying attention but didn’t connect the dots back to La or even the Raptors(until this crowd of fans outside the meeting place)
if true he’s being a diva ass bitch, if board man lurks on bgol, I take that back and please come to the Lakers lol
That's probably what the negotiations are when it came out he was talking about bringing medical staff with him he's gonna need to sit a few games.
For me anything with Kawhi, I’d believe him vs anyone else..(for as media heads) until I find another strong connection or connections that I didn’t know about before
Not necessarily true. The first day of this off-season was an anomaly. Players usually give it a few days to determine where their headed.
Case in point, Durant waited until the fourth to announce the GS move, Bron waited until the 8th for the decision.
Oubre took his spot along with Bridges. Got Jackson and Warren out of there
You are exactly right. Ex athletes have an axe to grind at times but Thomas is a different breed. He can talk that shit.
Yeah the sports media is trying to force the man to make a decision quickly. He doesn’t have to make a decision until he is ready, I think he said he would like to play in one of the LA markets before the season began but he just won a NBA championship with Toronto so those 3 things might really be hard to choose from for him
Chris Carter is self righteous and self absorbed
The free agency started July 1 in 2016 and 2018. Bron actually agreed July 2nd last year and KD did agree on the 4th. So 1 day for Bron, 3 for KD. FA started June 29 this year, its July 3, thats 4 days already and counting Kawhi didnt even do nothing the first day.
Nooooooo Wayyyyyy he brings JR Smith to the Lakers, Korver either. They have both shown they can’t be counted on in big games

The Decision (TV program)
The Decision was a television special in which National Basketball Association(NBA) player LeBron James announced that he would be signing with the Miami Heat instead of returning to his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers. It was broadcast live on ESPN on July 8, 2010. James was an unrestricted free agentafter playing seven seasons in Cleveland, where he was a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player and a six-time All-Star. He grew up in nearby Akron, Ohio, where he received national attention as a high school basketballstar.
Man. How many years did Lebron keep James Jones on a roster??!
actually man. JR had some clutch moments in the year they beat the Warriors... he just had a meltdown the other year. that's what you get with JR, but they need outside shooting and guys who might play on the vet min. Don't be surprised when it happens.
Same reason Leonard kyrie Davis George didn't.....
I wasnt talking bout when he left Cleveland in 2010. Im talkin bout last year when he came to LA. And Bron took heat for The Decision being over the top and drawn out. 2010 social media was infantile so time moved slower back then. Now a day is an eternity.
I was so glad they got him off of the NFL Countdown show. Dude shit on Ray Lewis and Moss. Shit on his own mom
