    He hasn't, but he needs to take a long hard look in the mirror and realize this isn't 2009 anymore. He's not the best center in the NBA. There isn't a team in the league that will deal with his BS anymore. He can contribute in areas we need him too but he has to be OK with that.

    I think that’s fair, but I think we’re 3rd, behind GS and HOU. That’s what LeBron gets you and that’s why you get LeBron. Best player in the game. Still puts up 28-9-9 and comes up big in playoff games. I like our chances against any west teams besides those two.

    And to be honest on any given day we can beat them too. A series? I dont know, but a game sure.

    I don't think @tada meant that to mean the Lakers came off badly.

    Houston doesn’t scare me at all. Even after what they did last year I’m not sold on them. Something will happen this year again and they won’t make the Finals. I could honestly see us beating them in the semi-finals and going against GS in the WCF. They are the Raptors of the West and I haven’t seen anything to change my mind.

    Maybe, but he did say who wants more? Like we need to do more to get way higher than that.

    I tell you one guy I’d like to have is Trevor Booker. With Randle leaving, we need a small ball center type glue guy. Booker is a tough, physical dude that could come cheap.

    Well I'd love to keep doing more. :D

    It's only Day 3 of FA and there's still moves to be made.

    We'll see how the roster evolves ( mainly Kawhi or no Kawhi) but yeah one playoffs series win is the best case scenario.

    The 3+1 Lebron contract shows to me he doesn't care about B-ball ( or isn't as obsessed with it as before) as much as before and decided to stop chasing the Warriors and just enjoy life

    He’d cost less than Kawhi. I’d be fine with a Jimmy B trade if it was made.

    Agree. But if we're talking about seeding, I think HOU will win more games than us this season.

    KAT doesn't take defense seriously enough and the rumor is that all of them are sick of Wiggins who gets paid a ton and hasn't grown as a player in years.

    And suddenly, disgruntled star. Wonder if a Randle s&t would have done it, him and kat make an interesting duo.

    Chances of a Kawhi/Butler swap?
    That draft class looking less impressive by the day. Kat and DAR being nonchalant, Okafor all but disappeared from the league.
