**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[second2nonee]

age well, this did not. and this mayor gave PG his own day, which is tomorrow.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

This disingenuous as hell my guy. One of those players put up those numbers as the #1 option, the other was coming off the bench most of the season. No one expects Trez to play like AD or Embiid but behind Lou, Kawhi and PG, if he can produce like that, it could end up being just as valuable as AD’s 30/10 as a 1A or 1B option

Disingenuous how? It's their stats in head to head games. Trez comes off the bench because he's a bench player

 

[second2nonee]

So we were favorites to win it all with just Bron, AD and Kuz and no we will struggle to make the playoffs as they continue to fill out the roster...interesting.

y'all were the favorites because the books took a position on LA adding kawhi. now the odds are like that because of the market. some of y'all need to brush up on how markets and odds work

with that said. lakers will def make the playoffs barring a major injury to bron

 

[dman14]

best 50k of all time?

probably. don't forget flying lawrence frank out to see kawhi the whole season and the expenses for that

 

[hand2handking]

Kawhi Leonard is out here playing 4D chess.

He never wanted to play with LeBron James or join a superteam, but he took a meeting with the Lakers and remained in constant communication anyway.

The Los Angeles Lakers were convinced they had their guy and Kawhi clearly never gave them a reason to feel differently.

But it makes sense that he knew exactly what he was doing.

Dragging this whole thing out meant the Lakers ran out of time to sign a third star.

They also missed out on every half-decent free agent (other than Danny Green, ironically).

Kawhi’s people even contacted the Lakers two hours before making the Clippers announcement, asking them to hold off on making the Anthony Davis trade official, according to ESPN.

And it wasn’t just the Lakers that Leonard drove a knife into.

By helping Paul George escape OKC, he destroyed Russell Westbrook and the Thunder.

He vaporised the Raptors’ chances of defending their title or even contending at all.

He ended the Warriors’ dynasty and even indirectly ended Kevin Durant.

Kawhi was the reason the Raptors were up 3-1 in the Finals, which pushed Durant to return before he was ready and suffer the most devastating injury in basketball.

So, Leonard sabotaged one contender and completely annihilated two others all at once.

Throw in the San Antonio Spurs and that’s four contenders ticked off his hit list.

On and off the court, Kawhi Leonard is a cold-blooded killer, making moves none of us thought a Fun Guy was ever capable of.

 

[D_eezus]

When the Lakers package cook green kcp and McGee for Bradley Beal >>>>>

Who the hell gonna be on our roster after that

 

[whitemamba27]

Nah future picks after 2022

still gotta match salaries and demar expires after this year i believe

 

[hand2handking]

 

[Mike dunleavy]

AD and 35 year old lebron ain’t gone get it done. Lakers will struggle to make the playoffs

Put money up

 

[gaiiige]

is luc mbah a moute still in the league

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Kawhi gonna lock Bron worse than Iggy and draymond.

Naw he gonna lock up AD.

PG got Bron

 

[moe200069]

Disingenuous how? It's their stats in head to head games. Trez comes off the bench because he's a bench player

It’s disingenuous to compare a starters’ stats, specifically one that gets fed the ball a lot, to that of a player who played off the bench. AD is definitely more skilled and going to outplay Trez but the amount of touches and opportunities he gets should be considered

In regards to trez, he showed in that match up against gsw that he should be starting. Dude is everything OKC hoped Steven Adams would turn into

 

[hand2handking]

 

[IATT]

Are those numbers not better than Kawhi's?

Both players have only played more than 70 regular season games, twice

Additionally, both players both have 4 more season playing under 70 games but at least 60 games

And funny enough, both players also have a season playing between 50-60 games



Kawhi just happens to have won 2 championships and 2 finals MVPs.. while AD’s team has won 1 game in the 2nd round

 

[Mike dunleavy]

KD a crip?

 

[moe200069]

They gonna include reggie jackson but not german rondo?

 

[dman14]

Naw he gonna lock up AD.

PG got Bron

bev got bron
but who is bron going to guard?

 

[art vandelay]

Why do they forget Jeff Green, he was legit.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

age well, this did not. and this mayor gave PG his own day, which is tomorrow.

 

[art vandelay]

They gonna include reggie jackson but not german rondo?

Or perennial sideline jester Cameron Payne.

 

[dmbrhs]

Clearly, the curse I placed on them when they left Seattle has worked.

 

[spacedoodoo]

 

[blastercombo]

Local espn dude said Westbrook is in talks to bounce out too

 

[niceshoes247]

That Seattle SuperSonics 30for30 gunna be good .

 

[nomnom]

KD dipping for a 73-9 team
Warriors dynasty ending Lebron's return to Cleveland after he came back from 3-1
Kawhi ending the Warriors dynasty then spurring the champs and the Lakers
