    Dumb way to spend 32m tho when you coulda done pretty much the same thing with 28m. Also more ADded miles for our duo.

    Are you determined to be upset?

    Honestly we’d really have to be counting on guys like Curry, Beverly, and maybe Morris with that Klutch connection taking a little less money than what they might get elsewhere with that 32 mil. Something like that is one of the only ways I’d still feel comfortable, we can’t be picking up scraps if no Kawhi.

    The term originated with this legendary song by Eminem. Nowadays it basically means you're an occasionally irrational fan who consistently stumps for a guy. Basically like the evolved form of a regular fan.

    Are there any decent role players left? I don't want all the gang back from last year...the only people I would take back is KCP (minimum) and McGee.

    I'm upset with how the AD deal was handled absolutely.

    You do realize our immediate assets are Kuz, 2020 1st and a non lottery 2021...that's it. We can use that cap to overpay mid to lower tier players and make them assets too...but would they sign knowing they are trade capital? I guess they would if the money was right. #MozDeng

    Anyways we went nuclear with our roster for superstarS...get it done!

    Good Lord vash you do what you have to do, but we have Anthony Davis and LeBron James. If you are unhappy with that, you're probably never going to be happy to be honest.

    Lmfaoooo honestly man I think he's grown himself into a legitimate reporter. Sure he's nuthugged LeBron to get to where he is, but as a longtime LeBron follower I can tell you that LeBron cut him off a looooooong time ago. In that span Windy's cultivated real relationships with people around the league and developed a stable cadre of sources, though likely not on the level of someone like Woj or even Lowe, to the point that any time he does an episode he'll expect to get something he says picked up by aggregators to generate content.

    Also, I think he legitimately put in the time to learn the game. I like listening to his Hoop Collective podcast because he takes a sometimes mediocre collection of guests and actually generates a free-flowing and insightful conversation where he comes out with reasonable takes and interesting tidbits. He still puts out some of the best articles in the game when it comes to behind the scenes anecdotes. Unfortunately he's prone to straight up licking the hand that feeds him as you see in some of his TV appearances with what he says, but I venture to guess that's from what the TV producers want of him while Windy on his podcast appearances and articles are a truer representation of his chops as a reporter.

    I saw this from cuffs. How would we make 4/140 work for Kawhi? That’s $35M per unless it’s a staggered contract?

    32/34/36/38?!

    Oh he's grown alright.

    For me he went from being alright and trying to do good reporting...to blatant Laker hating. For that, I just can't stand the guy anymore. It drives me nuts when these "journalist" just pull crap out of their a**.

    Cuffs is rounding cause deals are 4yr/141m but for Kawhi to Lakers, since we down 600k to give him his full max this summer, his contract would clock in at 4yr/138.5m

    But I personally think Kawhi still go either 1+1 or 2+1 to get that 35% max bag in yr 3 here.
