And I’m not sure but they also didn’t have to rush into anything. They had him under contract for 2 more years and could’ve fielded offers for him all year. Why are we operating under the assumption that the Clippers' picks will be late? PG and Kawhi both have injury history, and after next year they won't be able to trade their FRP until 2028. I believe they're effectively capped out until Paul George's contract expires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picks especially in 24 and 26 could be sky high. SGA and a couple shots at the lottery is damn good imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWood21 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 5 minutes ago, NYRaider said: Woj reported months ago that Kawhi was focused on the Clippers. The fact that he was putting the full court press on finding someone to come with him confirmed that. But again, even Woj suggested that had it not been for the Clippers getting Paul George it would have been the Lakers he would have signed with. So it sounds like the order of preference was the Clippers with a co-star first, Lakers second, and then either the Clippers without a co-star or Toronto third and fourth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Clippers are going to be the best team in the league assuming they stay healthy. AD has an extensive injury history and LeBron showed signs of slowing down last year. I have more faith in Kawhi and PG to stay healthy than AD/LeBron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And definitely but there’s just a league wide hate for the Lakers. Even on here people are praising the move and saying it was a good haul if the Lakers gave up Kuzma and 4 1sts for him everyone would say it was the weakest move in NBA history. Lol Glad you recognized that. Now you can join others NOT to promote ongoing smack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kawhi Leonard as a 27 year old has played in 69 games over the last two years, and you're over here pounding the table 131 games over the past 2 years as a 25 year old. Somehow Anthony Davis injury-prone, and not a comment about Kawhi. Of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had he signed with the Lakers, it would’ve been “LeBron is old, AD and Kawhi are injury prone and the rest of the team sucks”. 8tH sEeD aT bEzT!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWood21 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 PG: Rajon Rondo / Quinn Cook / Alex Caruso SG: Danny Green / Kentavious Caldwell-Pope / Troy Daniels SF: LeBron James / Talen Horton-Tucker PF: Anthony Davis / Kyle Kuzma / Jared Dudley C: DeMarcus Cousins / JaVale McGee Actually kinda like this roster. Has the 3&D that we didn't have last year. Some good offense off the bench in Kyle Kuzma. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have went to championship teams with the Lakers or Raptors. So if they were his priority he would have just went to those teams.

He probably preferred the Knicks, but he wasn't going there alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're going to be in the market for Kyle Korver when he gets bought out. Wouldn't surprise me if they tried to convert THT to a 2-way contract, and that opens up another roster spot. Could see them trying to get Andre Iguodala if he gets bought out, otherwise they'll probably leave a roster spot open. Team looks deep with shooters and defenders. If DMC offers anything, this team is going to be scary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't be able to play with Lebron and AD on the court. Unless they plan on staggering his minutes so he spends very little time with both guys.

ttitansfan4life Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Iggy should be priority #1 if he’s bought out but it seems like Memphis thinks they can get something out of him in a trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Bradley is a really good signing. All he has to do is play elite on-ball defense and make open shots as a decent rate. I'm really confident he'll be able to play really really good defense. He'll get more wide open looks than he's probably ever gotten in his career... he just needs to make them.
