    I feel bad for Isaiah given how much he played through and what happened to him afterwards.

    His condition after surgery would be better if he had had the operation earlier instead of continuing to play but man, he is going to be the poster child going forward for agents to show their players and tell them not to risk playing through injury or without being fully recovered.

    More like fuck teams, don’t give a shit what they are asking for, get your money.

    That Boston shit was cold as FUCK.

    Smart, but nigh irresponsibly inhumane.

    I mean before kawhi went all trade me, I didn’t blame him for sitting, because, Isaiah

    To be honest though I’m 99% sure the Celtics trade him even if he’s totally healthy. Even more likely, since his value would’ve been higher. They didn’t want to pay Isaiah

    Butler was gonna turn down the extension no matter what. He stands to make way more money to sign a new contract with whoever next season, even if its the TWolves.

    if he can stay healthy the Bulls should make a run

    their lottery pick Wendell Carter Jr looks like a force

    A run to where?

  • Randy ButternubbsRandy Butternubbs Registered User regular
    Not a bad idea for the Bulls really. Either he finally gets a full year healthy and lives up to his potential, or he doesn't and they keep stacking high picks and only have to pay him 1 more year and it's an expiring deal which could have some use for balancing out taking on a bad deal with more years in it for some picks like the Nets are all about now.

    More money if he signs a max deal next year. Like 140/4 or 188/5 if he stays with the Wolves.

    The Cleveland Cavaliers have waived veteran center Kendrick Perkins, the team announced Tuesday.

    Perkins was signed by the team on the final day of the regular season and did not play a single minute in the 2018 postseason.

    end of an era

    Kawhi/derozan deal may happen as soon as today - and “neither is expressing enthusiasm”

    Why would Toronto agree to that if Kawhi made it clear he wants to play for LA? And give up DeMar DeRozan in the process?

  • Captain InertiaCaptain Inertia Registered User regular
    While I think DeMar likes Toronto, I’d honestly be pretty happy to go somewhere warm to play for Pop...

    Going for it, mostly. They wanna mix things up, they could easily make a finals with kawhi, and who knows, maybe if you do you can convince him to stay

    People said the same about Paul George.

    If they somehow kept anunoby (and siakam) that team has some ridic defensive upside

    Full deal:

    Kawhi & Danny Green to Toronto
    Derozan, Jakob Poeltl, & a '19 1st round pick to San Antonio

    EDIT: pick has Top 20 protection, becomes 2 2nd round picks after 1 year

    Watch DeRozan and SA turn into a perennial contender for the next decade.

    What makes you think the Spurs of all franchises can retool and remain competitive over a long period of time?

    Their 37 playoff appearances in their 41 year history? Pffffttt

    I mean, they didn't have Tim Duncan (or Kawhi) fall into their lap this time. And the West is probably the toughest it's ever been in league history.

    Demar has to face LeBron again.

    :)

    This still feels like a "win now" move by the Raptors. Maybe if they make it to the finals they can convince Kawhi to stay, but that's far from guaranteed. All in on this year.

    They're only trading two years of Demar for one year of Kawhi and that's after benching Demar in arguably the most important playoff quarter in franchise history.

    Misleading Derozan is shitty but the trade itself is a worthwhile gamble. They get significantly better in the first year LeBron is out of the picture in the East and despite Leonard's alleged intentions I think Toronto could have a strong case once he's gotten the chance to leave the meat grinder that is the Western Conference.

    Toronto gonna be good. I think it’s a real smart move though I also have always been super down on derozan

    I'm betting Kawhi declines.

  • ButtersButters A glass of some milks Registered User regular
    Kawhi leaked to ESPN he doesn't want to play in Toronto. Either he's trying to kill the deal or he's trying to get Toronto to flip him to LA.
