    Philly is still too high imho....

    Once the oddsmakers get a look at this, I'm sure their odds get worse...

    I have not heard that, but that's wonderful news.

    And I actually do think Cleveland is still in play if they trade for say, Kawhi. Gives him actual help, and he gets by far the most money there.

    Any idea what he says at the end of the clip? It ends with “neither one of them feel very good about their opportunity ...”

    They have no real shot at trading for Kawhi and especially with their pick being Sexton... It's over.

    Well, I said that with the thought of San Antonio being total d***s in mind. Trade for a lesser package so he doesn’t come to us, AND keep LeBron from coming here at the same time. Gotta play that anti-jinx game hard.

    If they take a package of JR Smith, Kevin Love, and Tristan Thompson for Kawhi then we revolt.

    Lol. You're better off getting all our picks this year, plus Josh Hart etc then those 3 peaked out and over paid players.

    Byron Scott was in the same position when he went to coach Cleveland and LeBron left.

    51% regardless of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard.

    Yeah, he's on his way; we have another FA lined up; IDK who? but I'd venture a couple of guesses...

    For weeks now I've felt Lebron has been coming, and it seems with every passing report that idea keeps getting reenforced.

    Sure does, but I still refuse to believe it until it happens. PG either for that matter. Come to think of it, who was our last big FA signing? Shaq?

    We were great up until 2012 so that's part of it, we didn't have the cap space to sign a max player but ever since Dwight left (which was a blessing in disguise) we have struck out every time.

    I'm not a pessimist by any stretch but I guess I'm cautiously optimistic at best.

    I can’t throw up for two hours at a time, so I’ll have to pass

    This was a very interesting listen from 45 min mark to 50 min mark. “%51 in LA”. “I can’t say”. “I think this is gonna be a different free agency...less about the roster...about ‘I wanna have happiness’”. Windhorst really loves LeBron, I thought he was gonna start crying there for a second.
