Fair enough, but to the first point, does it really matter if DLo agrees? He's in restricted free agency, no?
Besides, when does a sign and trade turn into a signing .. and a trade? Like if they use RFA on him and then trade him at some point in time, isn't it a straight up normal trade?
I'd put my money on the field and not the obvious candidates like LA, NY or Boston. I can see a team swooping in and taking a chance like Toronto did.
Someone like Denver, Portland, Philly .. shit I don't know
Post them as the come along
Dubs will have a slightly new identity:
And apparently the league is making every team have a "global" Logo now, with the requirements of including the full name and a basketball. Although I'm not sure yet if this abomination might actually be the Rocket's new...
I think you could put any fanbase in that situation and the result would be the same.
Same situation meaning never won a title, one game away and playing against the villains of the decade.
I don't see how taking another sample of 20.000 people would make any difference.
I'm not saying it was...
I'm rooting for a good story. Raptors winning is good on its own, but KD leading the dubs to 3 straight wins with monster performances would be dope too, can't lie.
