The Official Dwayne Wade <<<<<< you thread

Golden State beat themselves lol. Klay is injured, Steph is aging, they have no depth, and KD is leaving.

They're done. It's over. They're still going to be a great team but they aren't unbeatable. The Raptors just beat them, and the Raptors are far from a perfect team.

They should be building to win a title, not beat GS. Sure, those two things were synonymous the last 3-4 years, but not anymore.

Toronto looking pretty perfect to me

The parade was one of the most insane things I’ve ever seen in my life btw

It took them 5 hours to do a route that was meant to take 2 hours

Boston the frontrunners for Kemba, according to Woj.

Bonga, Wagner and Jones to Wizards.

LeBron and AD only players Lakers have left right now

And Kuzma

Sixers have four players under contract.

It’s normal in free agency

Just heard Portland acquired the services of Kent Bazemore. Nice move that. They really have some nice players, got Nassir Little in the draft which they thought was a lady luck for them. I'm a fan of Zach Collins.

Maybe they could move those assets for someone if they wanted to, to get another star player. Maybe not now, maybe the next trade window.

Nurk's injury really came at an awful time for them.

What isn't normal is your attempt to spend that space on a max player lol.

Unless you get Kawhi i think you're better off filling the roster out with 2 or 3 really good role players.

God, I hope Klay doesn't end up at the Lakers. Would just be terrible.
We need to offer him that max ASAP.

Both Heat and Warriors did it.

Also ElG we don’t want a cripple

Why would he go to the Lakers lol? There's zero reports of such.

There's more talk of Clippers but he's going to stay anyway so it doesn't matter.

No one is going to the Clippers lol.

His father might disown him if he ever went there, so I don't know why the media is pushing that shit.

He's getting the 190m from Warriors anyways.

Lol don't say such fanboy nonsense, real life isn't like that.

His father will be perfectly fine with whatever decision he chooses, he's made that very clear over the years.

Fanboy nonsense?

You're free to quote me on this. No one is going to the fucking Clippers lol.

I have no idea why people actually believe this.

Am I missing something obvious when I don't quite get why the Wizards agreed to take all those third-rate players?

Anyone want a Kawhi bet?

Where he's going

Back to the finals with his Toronto Raptors

Hope it's there or for the Lakers.

The narrative that we would never get a max was wild to me.

A week later we've got the max spot and a confirmed FA meeting with Kawhi lol

Wizards (:

Bonga and Wagner are legit talents.

Also last time they took one of our rejects he became a top 3 player on their team. Why wouldn't they take free talent without giving up anything lol?

To go to the Lakers just seems like the most anti-Kawhi move but I’d be ok with it.

He can leave, he owes us nothing. What he did is unprecedented and not replicable. He’s a legend here forever now. With that being said, everyone here is praying that he stays and clinging onto everything possible. For example he was wearing a Blue Jays shirt on vacation and everyone was thrilled.

This will be a great free agency regardless

Keep fun guy in Toronto though

Magic out here giving direct quotes to ESPN about how he's great friends with Uncle Dennis and Kawhi wants to meet with him.

Magic is an absolute melt

The Pelicans are indeed interested in Al Horford, according to one league source with knowledge of the situation, but have feared heading into free agency that they would be outbid for him

Yes please, would be an insane fit with Zion but it will depend on the length of the contract. a 4 year max probably wouldn't be a good idea. ( unless the 4th year is a team option)

Mirotic going back to Europe is a wild move

Vibe wrote:I just don't want Kawhi to Lakers now, seems kind of a bitch move. Much rather have Kyrie or Kemba, even Butler.

I just couldn't support Lakers if Kawhi joined now.

I would have no problem at all.

We’ve been the worst team since 2012. Biggest challenge for him to change this franchise to be good again

Freeza wrote:Mirotic going back to Europe is a wild move

Apparently this has been in the works since January, seems like he cares way about his lifestyle than money.

Jazz were offering 15m a year over 3 years so it's save to say he doesn't want to live in America anymore.
