    Ky: Hey Danny, I'm sorry it didn't work out. It wasn't you..it was AD...uh, I mean me.

    Danny: But what about all the people that rsvp'd yes?

    Ky: What did AD Sr. and his +1 respond back with? Ah forget it, it doesn't matter anyways. It's over. I just need you to pack up all my stuff. I'll always appreciate you letting me move in with you for the last couple years and our engagement was full of potential, but I just can't marry you Danny.

    Danny: And the ring?

    Ky: Oh, you can have it back. That's another thing...I showed you the type of ring I wanted, but you got this circular atrocity instead.

    Danny: I told you...it was hard finding a square band within my budget. Once they relented on the unique concept design, they asked for way too much. They wanted 4 draft picks...really?!? So I went with the traditional band instead.

    Ky: And that's why the band is breaking up. You just don't have the IT factor that guys want in a commitment.

    Danny: what?

    Ky: Nevermind. Can I just get my things please. I have a long flight ahead of me.

    Danny: Wait...long flight? It's a hour flight to New York. I get why others warned me about you being a diva and all, but really a hour flight is long to you now? It never bothered you when we were making our trips to the Hampto...wait, are you getting back with your ex again?

    Ky: huh?

    Danny: Long flight...like LA long flight. How could you?

    Ky: Its no longer your concern. My things please. I gotta hit the road.

    Danny: You're a cold hearted SOB. I remember that other dude you were flirting with too in the Hsmptons. You never loved me...did you?

    (Hands "round" box of things over)

    Ky: The concept of love is just as abstract as the earth is roun...wait...my decorative pepper shaker is here but where is the matching salt...



    I'm here all week folks. Unless you rather go to cbag reddit instead. :p

    Why?

    See @trodgers numbers and btw those two got chemistry. Haha



    Okay they might need to work off each other better, but they got a whole season before the playoffs to figure it out.

    Plus if Kawhi hopefully comes, I rather use our room exception of near 5m to offer to our center spot so that we can make AD even more happier in moving him back to the 4.



    I believe we can get DJ at the vet min...but if there is a bidding war then I hope the room exception will suffice.

    LMAO! Great stuff! You should go on with OX for one of the podcast segments after he outfits his home studio with the good audio and computer s***.

    C-bag reddit. :D :clap: Maybe because the guy just reported what was happening rather than mixing in disdain for Rob as well for not doing it quite perfectly?

    Because I don’t like Derrick Rose and I find his “redemption” story to be a joke.

    Still an improvement over the audible laughter we'd previously get at the mere suggestion that Kawhi is even considering the Lakers.

    Probably around Wednesday, we'll get a piece from Oram or Tania? "Lakers think they have a good shot at Kawhi because of ___, ____, and ____." complete with sources who say the Lakers have a shot.

    The line then moves from +800 to probably around +475 with the Clippers at +300 or so and the Raptors still the favorites at about -195.

    Then Friday or Saturday the details of our trade come out and we've sent out the 3 kids we need to for essentially a max slot, we get a breaking report from Woj saying the Lakers are a legitimate contender for Kawhi and have secured a meeting with him. Lines change to +275 for Lakers and +300 for Clippers. Raptors moved to even.

    July 3rd we sign Kawhi Leonard to a max deal. Woj breaks the news with tears in his eyes. Ballmer is crying somewhere off camera.

    stein isn't a laker-hater, though, imo.

    still, why bother "insisting" in the press that you're in it? if you are, you are. nobody needs to know until the announcement. that's clipper stuff.

    My only question is: if most of these journalists admit they don't know where these guys are going, why do they think Kawhi will go to the Clippers? Where is that coming from? If Kawhi has a tight circle and nobody knows... then how do they have any feeling towards it whatsoever?

    I have a restraining order on Ox after the Temecula incident. He's gotta convince me he's no longer a hot head. Until that, putting him and I in a room together is bulls***... Wait that would make me the...

    s***, anyways as for Rob... It's only disdain for the way he operates. He's not finesse'n our cap... That's evident so far and nothing I said in that matter is wrong. If Rob somehow drags the AD deal to August while locking up Kawhi to a near max bag, then I'll be the first to applaud dude. Till then there was a better way to have a play at Kawhi while trading for AD (plus his kicker) and it appears we didn't go that route.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but you are the guy that still values our youth and doesn't want to give up everything to get AD, right? Props in keeping Kuz, but we are on the verge of sending meaningful draft capital as well as every other dude on the roster...when we didn't have to considering the leverage we held.

    Either way Rob gets a ton of credit from me in getting us to this point cause we know Magic wasn't the cap guy. Still you do know that at least getting future 2nd rounders for Jules, Zu and TB were small cap efficient moves that could have gone a long way.

    lee jenkins?

    the clippers are clearly invested in getting their brand up. i think the press coverage is a result of a very deliberate, concerted effort. so that even if they don't get kawhi, they get to claim elite status, a destination franchise.

    Agree on your last paragraph without knowing what role in those decisions Magic interjected. What I do know is that all these moves he's had to get agreements on in order to get AD and still have room for the 32M have not happened in a bubble. The league knows what we've got coming at them if we land two more superstars to run with LeBron. Now and for the next 10 years. Always has been a Lakers tax and now it's on steroids with hesitancy to cooperate on anything, especially NO who Klutch and the Lakers just forced to trade their franchise player a year early and tried to do it a year and a half early at the deadline. No goodwill there, ya think? And no goodwill anywhere for Rob after Magic went on nationally syndicated ESPN and to all the world called him a backstabber. Ya think?
