I think Portland should make an offer for Love. Whiteside, Gary Trent Jr., 2020 1st (lottery protected), and a 2022 2nd. They absolutely should. Portland has been the rumored team for Love for like three years now lol. Portland needs a guy off the pick and roll/pop that can make plays and Love can do that. Nurkic will miss part of the season I believe so they need Love's play making and shot making. But I don't know if the Cavs trade him before the season. Maybe during the deadline if at all.

It'd take a big offer for them to say yes, and Portland would probably have to offer Collins for them to consider a trade now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was it. I think that was it for them.” via The Athletics LAL LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole article talks about how clear Kawhi made it he wanted silence on all fronts...and the Lakers constantly leaked stuff. It was already common knowledge it hurt the Lakers, this is just kind of the confirmation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody knew about the Danny Green signing until after it was announced by Woj (I believe). Nobody knew exactly when Anthony Davis was going to get dealt, and it wasn't nearly as publicized as it was at the deadline when it was abundantly clear that Dell Demps sabotaged those discussions. The notion that the Lakers are this boat with a bunch of holes is laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that got leaked CORRECTLY was Magic's discussion with him, when he essentially talked about it on air. How long did we hear about how Kawhi was only meeting with Magic and Jeanie Buss? And after the fact it was reported that Pelinka was INDEED part of the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kawhi having LAL as his favorite got leaked. Him being a “lock” to LAL got leaked. The Lakers were leaking stuff. I also believe nothing that gets leaked after decisions are made, organizations try to save face. Like Tatum not being included in AD negotiations, that’s bologna.

No, it's pretty clear that Kawhi had been working behind the scenes to leverage another superstar to join him on the Clippers. If PG didn't, I think Kawhi ends up on the Lakers. In the end, that "report" has little truth to it, based on what we've seen unfold with Kawhi and PG landing on the Clippers. You cannot honestly tell me Kawhi wasn't working that angle until that "leaked" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, they might not have been able to do so, thus, the Lakers were still on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dillon Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Kawhi is the strangest superstar ever. He’s great, no doubt but he benefited from the Durant injury big time. It got him a championship and made him the top free agent on the market all at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
