    With Klay and KD out all of next year...time to go all in.

    I would love to keep Kuzma, but it is what it is...Kuzma, Ingram, Lonzo, 4th pick...throw them everyone if you have to in order to get as close as possible to max cap room so that either we get a max FA or we fill out the roster with shooters around LeBron/AD.

    Time to go all in is now. Unfortunately some teams will think the same too and might start offering up trades. Everyone just watched a one year rental Kawhi lead a team to a championship, maybe AD can do the same too.

    Maybe Portland ponies up CJ to pair AD with Lillard. Maybe the Bucks do something crazy. Its going to be crazy.

    Heres the time to prove yourselves FO of misfits. I’m confident/optimist right now, lets see it continue to the draft next week.

    Just 26 years old and entering his prime. We have a top 5 NBA player for the next decade on our team now and that's a certainty. There is not a thing he can't do!

    What a building block!

    I’m so damn excited. I’ve been trying to not watch too many of these highlight videos to minimize disappointment in case we didn’t make the trade, but now it’s time to BINGE.

    Isn’t it nice to be the leader of the arms-race?
