It'll go back to just a weekly "Hey Pelinka really sucks" when something comes up I don't mind that. Wanted Pelinka fired this offseason along with Magic.

They're well within the top 5 for most annoying NBA fan bases. I'm calling bs, I've only ever heard of 2 jazz fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell is on track but regardless of that isn't there yet. He missed all of last summer and was out of shape to start the season. The last 44 he absolutely played at a superstar level, check the stats. He struggled in the playoffs but he had an injured Rubio/Ingles as his #2/#3 option... AD/LeBron wouldn't have even made the playoffs with those two as their other primary offensive weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lakers are the second franchise in LA now bro, get used too it. And we saw how well it turned out for Paul George. He re-signed with the Thunder, and got dealt a year later after he realized that playing with the Thunder wasn't all he thought it was. And now I know you're trolling when you're referring to the Lakers as the second franchise. It's cute, but an awful attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't going to be the guy in LA with LeBron. At least not until he retires or falls off the face. Because they have a better front office and coach. Kawhi knew he couldn't trust Rob P or Jeanie Buss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players trust Steve and Jerry West to build a winner more than they trust Rob P and Jeanie Buss. It's just the reality of the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reports are that he felt a "kinship" with Doc Rivers that felt like what he had with Ujeri in Toronto. Plus just the fact that it is also in LA and there was a lot more settled there roster-wise and executive-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would rather not play with LeBron and the circus that comes with that. To me, when you're a guy in Kawhi or Durant's stratosphere, playing with LeBron isn't as appealing as it is to someone like Anthony Davis or a lesser type superstar/star player.

It's just the reality of the situation. What do the Clippers do now? I see two very similar rosters. One is led by Paul George and Kawhi Leonard with limited future flexibility. The other is led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis with limited flexibility. Just depends on which duo you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakers fans swear that everyone wants to go there and are living off of the nostalgia of being good a decade ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
