The best deal is now. Here's why:
Currently you get your pick of the litter from LA. After this the best case would be pick of litter from Boston who will be less inclined to give a haul once Rich Paul insists to every trade partner that he will be a one year rental only.
This isn't a case where a team can realistically hope to keep the guy. He literally hired Paul to get him to LA and Paul has other business interest that will insure he does just that. After next week the market lessens to reflect one year rental rates. And when Kawhi leaves Toronto and teams see the real cost of one year rentals it will be even more of a depressed market.
Demps got Pop in his ear poorly advising him. Meanwhile Pop let his ego screw him into only getting a 30 year old guard who can't shoot for a top 3 player in his prime.
NO need to take Magic to the cleaners while they can.
I understand your sentiment I disagree on a little bit but overall I wasn't even necessarily saying it to shade l.a. or to favor Boston just to not accept crumbs
As you alluded to with pop
Gotta talk to Davis and truly see what's going on that's the best move for the pelicans and then make the deal
Just last year the pacers were in a similar situation okc bet on themselves and pg resigned with them instead of ending up as a Lakers which was his dream by all accounts
However it shakes out it'll be interesting to see nonetheless
But we agree
Act like a professional
Do your job
If you had been doing your job ad wouldn't want to leave in the first place
