The Clippers are also reportedly interested but it'd have to be a S&T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMcCoy Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 So Kawhi’s injury cost them a good shot at a title this year and probably next season too? That’s brutal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s brutal Yeah quite a few Clippers beat guys are expecting him to miss all of 21-22, so I think you can take them outta the Lonzo "sweepstakes" officially.

J-ALL-DAY Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Dennis Schroder - Wants bigger role Kyle Kuzma - Thinks he can do more with a more "consistent" role Andre Drummond - Wants the coach to play him more so he can produce like Lopez and Ayton Montrezl Harrell - Disgruntled for how his minutes were handled towards the end of the season So on opening day, which of the four are still on the team....If any?

IIRC Drummond, Harrell, and Schroder are all FA so I doubt they're back. LeBron reportedly doesn't like Kuzma and he's their best trade piece so I doubt he's back either.

NYRaider Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Lakers best bet is to reunite the Raptors boys, bring DeRozan home, and sign Lowry to ring chase one last time. Go after someone like Nerlens Noel on a minimum deal. Lowry - DeRozan - LeBron - AD - Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will still make around 10M next season if he opts in. Can he get a better deal than that on the market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s brutal Changes his entire approach to free agency as well. He'll probably opt into his deal and sign a max extension with the Clippers that kicks in during the 2022-2023 season.

That's true but he's only 27, former 6th MOY, and averaged 19/7 for a good Clippers team a year ago. I could see a situation where he opts in knowing he'll be traded.

NYRaider Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) Quote Orthopedist on Kawhi Leonard's injury: Extremely rarely are ACLs partially torn The announcement Tuesday “does leave numerous question marks” about the nature of Leonard’s surgery and his return to the court, said T.O. Souryal, a former two-term president of the NBA’s association of team physicians and the Dallas Mavericks’ team doctor for 22 years. Souryal, now an orthopedic surgeon at and medical director of a Texas sports medicine clinic, said he had seen a “true partial ACL tear less than a handful of times.” Edited July 14, 2021 by NYRaider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 The Cavs are asking for Obi Toppin as the centerpiece to get Colin Sexton lmao. Knicks need to make that deal immediately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
