I'll name this offseason thread later: The NBA 2019 Offseason/Free Agency Thread

Lmao if that thot Magic ends up being the reason why we don’t get Kawhi....

Dont feed too much into that. Kawhi is mostly going to discuss logistics and medicals with the owner. He’s going to have his own team there in addition to there’s. I’d imagine he’d want to play set amount of games a season as well.

There may be some luxury things discussed like providing jobs for his circle and giving unlimited access to his agent/Dennis

Nikka 33 years old. How much money he think he gonna get?

Man if Jimmy really entertaining other teams even after we offer the max let that nikka walk. Prioritize signing Redikk and Tobias back and go from there. We could use our cap in better ways than taking back garbage from other teams.

Having pause about the circus act they had going on at times throughout the past year seems valid, same with trusting Toronto and their approach to load management vs the unknown that comes with a new team.

He said Lakers are the number one choice but the Raptors could still get him if they close with a strong presentation, because he liked the basketball and load management side of things.

So the Lakers are gonna get him unless they don't? Then the Lakers subreddit has a verified insider and this dude ain't it, he's a nikka from lakersball.com who signed up in May

EDIT: The same nikka said

Kyrie and Vogel had conversations over the weekend about how Kyrie would fit into the offense with LeBron/AD

a week ago

I’m interested to see this cap space you speak of after the 76ers offer a max to both Tobias and Kendall Jenner’s boyfriend next week.

Flightiest player in the NBA.

Kawhi has leverage too since he won the title and got finals mvp

 

[Stop_It_5]

This was my one and only worry. Raps have had a whole season as their pitch and won a title while Magic aired out dirty laundry. I think it’s something we can iron out in this situation but it was definitely the one thing that could bite us. The good thing is Magic isn’t in the front office no more so no reason to believe things will be as combustible.

Yeah, Toronto's already proven in that regard and even the Clips are a united front at the top with Balmer, Logo, and Doc. Pelinka & Jeanie still have dirt on their hands from the nonsense these past 12 months (even with Magic exiting back into his ambassador role), that Rambis family shyt is weird, and Vogel doesn't hold any kind of weight during these discussions.

The Laker pitch has to be centered around the brand (clips will always be little brother), flexing with Bron & AD, and knowing that he'll have just as much power in the building as Klutch (full authority to dictate his load management).

I would honestly rather him go to the Lakers instead of him AND Jimmy coming West on to an already deep team with a competent FO with Jerry fukking West pulling the strings behind the curtains. Western conference bout to be an absolute bloodbath next season

Solution: We break the league into 3 10 team conferences. Best 16 gets into the playoffs. East West Central.

His max won't count until basically his rookie contract is over so it doesn't really matter. It's just locking him up early to show I guess security.

Ben's max isn't even kicking in yet

why can't you just take the top 16 teams in the playoffs...only thing winning the division does is possibly allow some of the teams that don't have shyt going on to hang the division champs banner up.

Just want to say, shout out to the nikkas with no lives or bytches, keeping the rest of us updated.

Much love
