    Dream come true, which is why San Antonio doesn’t want to do it. We’d be a monster team. The length and versatility, the ability to switch everything on defense like we tried and failed at last season, would be nuts. But even if we had to give up Ingram and Zu plus picks I’d be ok because Kawhi is what we can only hope Ingram becomes, and if we could still retain Randle that would be awesome.

    I know we want to bang out on em from the jump, but remember when Magic said this is a 2 summer plan during the Moe/Svi presser, it was a direct message to Kawhi and the purrs. He knew Bron was in the bag at that point. Fam, it's July 1st...the 1st day of free agency. Just cuz Pauline ejaculated prematurely seeing Russ with his donatello bo, doesn't mean Bron hadn't committed to us already but just lasted through the night.

    Dude knows this thing will figure itself out...so why include a stud in BI. Boogie was traded for Buddy for gawd sakes.

    Don't be a Pauline...Long play this instead and force the purrs to take our junk... preferably on their backs.

    May look like this if we just sign Kawhi next year outright

    Feels like a Pelinka ruthless move, aka bluff the blind man move

    Isiah Thomas states that Leonard is adamant about not staying after one year to whoever he is traded to not called the Lakers.

    At this point I wouldn't be shocked if Pelinka went scorched Earth and tried to just completely burn the Spurs here.

    But, if we're going to make things work financially, we might have to move Ingram or Ball anyway. Maybe. There's a crazy amount of flexibility with this team still.

    At this point, I am 99% sure Kawhi will be in a Lakers jersey eventually. Heck, he is probably walking around in a Magic Johnson Laker jersey right now.
    It is inevitable.

    Pelinka is a killer, who was the agent of a killer, who's trying to bring in another killer.

    No wonder Mintz is so upset at us...maybe we didn't priorize Pauline and that's why she did what she did...playing that victim role BS. Maybe that's why Kob said he can't convince free agents...they have to come here knowing what's up.

    I gotta be honest, a little of me wants the Lakers to sign Kawhi outright next year to make it burn even more. We keep the young guys and still get Kawhi would burn that f*** face Pop and all the Sperms fans.

    Love that Woj was getting called out and mocked by media members for his obvious and transparent and biased reporting on the Leonard situation.

    Steve Smith believes Leonard will be a Laker in two years. Has us at 5th in the West.

    My bet is that the endgame is Jules, Zu, future 1sts and Moe (if this thing drags out a la Kyrie last summer and Love for Wiggins circa '14).

    It could be Jules or it could be Jules traded to another for other youngns and future draft picks. All we have to show Jules is that there won't be money this year so take the S&t....money next summer is also going to go to Klay, Kyrie, Kawhi, a rehabbed Boogie, an expiring DJ, an expiring KD...so be a good boy and take the bag while you can.

    The way I see it is Jules is lost next summer to make room for Kawhi...so he's part of the deal by default and actually the only real principle...take it or leave it.

    Rockets, Warriors... That's it. Jazz maybe. Thunder, Blazers, Pelicans, Nuggets? We're there or better.
