    Still expect some blowback from league headquarters over this. Clearly against the rules even before the coming alleged crackdown, per the copy that sirron posted 2 days ago. Stooopid of LeBron and AD to put this out there loud and proud.

    But it was already into the free agency period, just to your last point? The first point makes me feel better.

    george was under contract with another team and kawhi was working as an agent for a team that he didn't even technically play for. i don't think it's any better.

    I've been looking for this for a while trying to remember the story how he lost his best friend in HS. That, and other factors that make him tick.

    I'm not sure the article Sirron posted really answered the question of whether a conversation like that is allowable. It's not recruiting when Westbrook was still under contract and ended up getting traded by the team (i.e. not technically Westbrook's decision). I believe three players can talk about what it might look like if they ever got the chance to play together without violating the CBA.

    Players can't tamper, they can talk about whatever they want to, on the court or off the court.

    Yeah well. Go back Slick and see what Sirron posted. If taken literally didn't seem to be any we're not serious about this or wiggle room in it.

    Good lengthy read from Ramona about how Russ got here.

    I love that he has reason to hate Kawhi. Very interesting that Russ was the one who initiated this deal.

    Didn't overlook DS' current ask in there either. He's bat s***v crazy.
