I miss the NBA of this era... just saying

NickyC · 06-11-2019, 10:47 AM

Pretty despicable the crowd reaction in Toronto last night when KD went down again (most likely a torn achilles now).

Then there's this:

He's 31 now, and big men are generally never the same after such a devastating injury. The future of the NBA just changed I'm afraid.

Yeah, but that's C$ to burn...

So like $0.25.

How many more bodies will fall for gsw
They are running their players into the ground

pikkagtr · 06-13-2019, 10:56 PM

5 straight finals = they've played something like 6.5 seasons over the last 5 compared to most other teams in the league.

ProjectBoost · 06-14-2019, 07:38 AM

Next thing you will hear is Iguodala retires. Great career but it's over.

EricVR4 · 06-14-2019, 07:54 AM

Well done Toronto! From 0-2 against the Bucks to winning it all....that's a crazy run haha

CANGRKE70 · 06-14-2019, 08:25 AM

What an awesome night. Downtown Toronto is closed today for event cleanup! Monday's Parade is going to be awesome.

I'm hoping Kawhi stays, but if he doesn't, he did what he came here to do. Masai Ujiri is a genius.

I really hope he stays as well. I've read about the "Ka'wine and Dine" places, he has a free $4 million penthouse from a local developer, and if he leaves, he leaves like $40-45 million on the table with a Supermax from any other team.

Lakers traded the farm for AD and a bag of chips
LMAO
Now pelicans will have Zion the #4 pick they can flip and lonzo Hart Ingram and 2 more first rounders

irishbimmer · 06-15-2019, 07:50 PM

I'm excited about Anthony Davis coming to LA-I met the guy when he was an injured rookie at the Phoenix Ritz Carlton"s gym and he was a real gentleman and of course an outstanding player.
What would happen if Leonard comes to the Lakers as well? Unlikely, although they may get a big time guard on a max contract...stay tuned!

ProjectBoost · 06-15-2019, 10:16 PM

Thank you Pelicans. LOL!!!!

Not getting anyone close to Leonard’s level. Lakers will now only have $23.7 mill cap room. They simply don’t have the cap room to offer a max contract.

Let's see what's LeBron's excuse is going to be next year. This is Hollywood, so I'm sure it's going to be creative.

Chronic cramps
Oh say once every 28 days or so

CANGRKE70 · 06-17-2019, 10:42 AM

Supposedly the Lakers have already set their sights on Kawhi. I'm sure LeBron has been tampering already.

Unless Kawhi wants to take a huge pay cut, that isn't happening. There is a cap and Kawhi has made it known he is looking for a max deal. As a life long Lakers fan, I will admit I would gladly swap Lebron for Kawhi right now. Imagine having young AD and Kawhi on long term contracts to build around without the Lebron drama. Windhorst has him staying in Toronto or signing with the Clippers.

Could have swore I read it was more like $32 million.

Kemba Walker already stated he would take less than a max to build around in Charlotte.............surely he'd take less than a max to play with LeBron and AD?
