Sources close to LeBron: He didn't text KD and his going to the Lakers would not be sealed (or doomed) by whether or not they trade for Kawhi. ... Man, we'll all be better when this is over, one way or the other
— Joe Vardon (@joevardon) 28. juni 2018

Seems like it was Spurs trying to gain leverage by saying LeBron would decide his new destination in relation to where Kawhi was going.

The KD rumour was also idiotic. He's not leaving GSW at any point. I have no idea why anyone is allowed to write that bs.

I'm certain LeBron has already decided.

I don't know why you are comparing the two tbh, If Cousins was just one of the players for his whole career but that isn't the case.

If you are going to use that argument with Ingram then compare him to another player who actually deserves to be compared to him.

Might as well compare AD to him while your at it tbh.

Isn't a franchise player someone that can lead a team to the playoffs as the best player?

I think AD has proved he's one. Don't think Cousins is one though.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Jun 28, 2018 8:26 pm

AD made the playoffs once before this year, i'm telling you right now that if AD was in Sacremento instead of Cousins nothing changes Laughing

Can't believe that's still being held against him, this is the same franchise who said at the draft that Bagley can and probably will play small forward.

You might be right. I'm just not huge on praising Brown because he had a chance to play in the playoffs while being the fifth best player on his team all season, while Ingram was the best or second best on Lakers.

In any case, the sample size is too small still at this point to say who's better.

I actually don't think it's too ridiculous to say Bagley would be able to play SF at some point. But it would be idiotic to play him there when he's really well-suited as a 4/5.

Still amazed a Serbian GM didn't pick the best Serbian/Slovenian prospect since Petrovic.

Lakers are about to take on Faried, Wilson Chandler and some other dude for Draft Picks.

Incredible stuff.

Getting a 1st round pick to sweeten the Kawhi trade.

Then trying to trade away the three expirings.

Can't wait to see if it happens, and what they'll do with it in that case.

Sorry, with how you phrased it "for draft picks", I assumed you meant the Lakers were giving up draft picks. Makes sense then

My bad then Laughing

They need cap space to give Jokic his 150m deal.
We'll probably send Faried or Chandler in the Kawhi deal then or something then.

Sunday can't come soon enough. I hate this.

It's beyond me how Paul George keeps saying he thinks he can win a championship with Westbrook in OKC

by Freeza Thu Jun 28, 2018 11:47 pm

I hope we don't get him at this point.

This whole documentary is the absolute worst thing I've ever seen. He's trolling two entire fanbases on purpose. And if he doesn't choose the Lakers he's not going to be able to go home without being harrased.

The trolling is incredible.

Why does it seem like Mole is the only person I know who respects Cousins' ability?

Dude is a straight baller. He would command a lot more respect without being on the Kings this long and then injuring his achilles.

Unfortunately, I wonder how he'll come back from such an injury. Could be that we'll never see prime Boogie on a good team

I do respect his ability. Just wouldn't want him on my team. Never been a huge fan of thick centers who can't defend. His offensive prowess is unquestionable though.

Doubt he'll come back to a level where he's worth a big contract. Only way I can see it happening is he stops being kind of fat. He's too big to run on a bum ankle.

Now one of the leading Lakers reporters (Tania Ganguli) say Ingram has never been offered or discussed in a trade.

This is ridiculous. These franchises battling eachother with smoke screens.

Tyler Ennis released.

It's almost like you should ignore every journalist not called Woj, none of them know anything IMO.

The reliable ones are not saying anything for a reason.

LeBron and George over the weekend

Third player acquired later, Kawhi being priority

If you knew about LeBron, you'd know Woj never knows anything about him Laughing

LeBron and his camp doesn't like Woj, and doesn't leak to him.

Windhorst and Vardon are the most reliable LeBron guys.
