I just can't see how a guy who needs heavy load management is going to join a team with zero guards that's gonna have to fill its roster with 8 minimum contracts



Maybe I'm wrong but it don't see how thats gonna work
It makes no sense basketball wise, but the Lakers aren’t about winning actual basketball games anymore :yeshrug:

Because that team also has two top 5 players and there are still good enough role players on the board to fill out the roster properly.

Let me ask, had the Lakers been out there yesterday signing role players to stupid deals what would be the reaction then? “Ohhh, Kawhi don’t even want to play with them, Lakers overpaying for bums, hate hate hate.” Just know that is Laker fans really do appreciate it. It’s been so long since we’ve been hated on because of fear...feels like home....:ahh:
Who is there to fill out the roster with that will take a min contract?


Look at the money these role players are getting.

Also those 2 players are injury risks themselves.

I still think a1+1 And then he signs in LA in 2 years is the most likely scenario

You don’t think kawhi Davis lebron will work?

That team is winning the title my brother
On talent alone they’ll win games but I don’t see it working well as people think it will. They literally all play in the same spots on the floor (elbows, mid post, occasional 3-pointers). None of them can catch and shoot, and they have no real guards (as of now).

Anthony Davis will be content shooting jump shots all year (like Bosh) but what’s the point of getting Kawhi if you won’t let him dominate the offense? He ain’t trying to be Pippen (and he ain’t locking up like that anymore), but Lebron is going to try and make him that because he won’t play without the ball.

It’s probably the most talented big 3 on paper of all time, but I don’t see the fit on the floor my brother

At this point it’s just a matter of when Kawhi signs with the Lakers not if...


Think about when he first demanded a trade to the Lakers and plus he never wanted to be in Toronto....

I personally would like to see him stay in TO just so he can defend the championship but he has a right to do what he wants

That doesn't really make sense

Why would he Wait to sign in LA when all the role players are getting snatched up?

The longer he waits the worse the Lakers chance of filling out the roster gets.

None of this feels like he's going to the Lakers to me

I have zero idea just like everyone else but none of whats happened makes me thinks lakers

AD and Kawhi both have injury histories. Lebron has more mintues played than any active NBA player and had his first major injury last year. One of them will get injured next year and they will have terrible depth. If they are all healthy for an extended playoff run than sure. But isnt likely.
