LMAO he hasnt even done it yet. Dude is going crazy. #KyrieKnew


One of them dont belong with the others

Yea I guess RJ isn’t in the league yet

Cavs with LeBron on the court
113 ORTG
114.4 DRTG
-1.1 NET


Cavs with LeBron off the court
108.2 ORTG
104.4 DRTG
+3.7 NET

First time in his career his team is playing better with him off the court. SO WHEN WILL WE FINALLY ADMIT HES NOT THE BEST PLAYER ON THIS PLANET ANYMORE?!

So you think KD is the best in the league? Somehow I doubt it

 

[Paulius]

So you think KD is the best in the league? Somehow I doubt it

KD is probably the best player in the league, yea. When you look at him overall, defensively and offensively hes carrying his weight

Id say Curry is the most valuable to the Warriors, but KD is the better player

Baby Davis joins the Big3

Big3 is going to be 10 times better than last year. So many big names already joined. Cant wait. Hopefully they make the games live next season

Your obsession with the big 3 is actually pathetic

 

[Paulius]

i dont see him wanting to leave. even if pop does, he seems like a lifer

Im not sure man. Pops is the Spurs. They go as far as he goes. I woildnt be totally intrigued to sign with the Spurs for 5 years if Pops isnt there. Idk, just me

Windhorst: I want to make this 100% clear- I have not heard one, single word of Kevin Love being traded. But, if I were Kevin Love- I would question my future in Cleveland and call my agent about getting me out of here.”


Hahaha Lebrons puppet strikes again. This is a nice way of putting that Lebron wants him gone. Doesnt wanna make it seem like he wants guys out, wants them “to contact their own agents and ask to get them out of there”

How much more help does this man need lol. Unbelievable. And people wonder why Bron is such a bitch

#KyrieKnew

 

[Mexi]

Sometimes you give lebron too much credit

 

[Paulius]

Windhorst sits outside Brons house. Thats brons guy

Youre just in denial

See right thru that shit

 

[Paulius]

My loyalty side wants Kawhi to stay with the Spurs but putting that aside, my other side wants the Celtics to get Kawhi

Kyrie & AD or Kyrie & Kawhi needs to happen

 

[snipezo]

Kawhi is not going anywhere lol.

 

[Paulius]

Kawhi is not going anywhere lol.

Not saying he is

But if it comes down to it, Kyrie Kawhi duo would be too fire

 

[Pugz]

if kawhi is made available, i think it would be in the offseason and the celtics definitely have the best chance at landing him. but gordon isnt going in that deal. who do they send to match salaries? which young guy stays? who moves to the four gordon or kawhi?

We all agree the Cavs are in trouble and can't beat the warriors

We all agree they don't have many trade chips beyond the Brooklyn pick

So they need to improve to have a chance and their only good trade chip is Love

Yet lebron should just stand Pat?

Lebron cant be playing games then

Its been said many times that Cavs would be more aggresive about trading the nets pick if he commited long term

Which he hasnt done and thats whats stopping the cavs from making win now moves

He wants freedom in FA but he also wants to win now. Cant have everything, has to man up and tell the cavs his long term plans so all this nonsence would stop

bruh dont do me like this lmao. but its actually feasible, relatively speaking.
 
kawhi is entering this offseason in a situation potentially similar to what paul george just did. he's entering his last guaranteed year, and then he has a player option the following year. its essentially an expiring contract, where he can say "yeah i'll stay for this season, but i'm gone the following year". 
 
The spurs outside of Kawhi have no real contingency plan. Lamarcus wants out. They have Pau and Patty Mills taking up $28M in cap space that could be used on actually good players. Dejounte Murray is nice, but is hardly a star piece. Popovich is already 69 years old and could retire honestly relatively soon.
 
In 2 years there's a chance the spurs have nothing. and thats why if kawhi doesn't sign the DPVE this offseason, I'd try to dump him honestly. I didnt even start to think of this but you're absolutely right paulie -- kawhi could be in his last year in San An right now

 

[Paulius]

Yea man

Looking at the entire league, i dont see another team that could come up with a a great package like you guys could since he definitely wont go cheap

Pop being the good guy that he is, he would prolly want to send him to Coach Stevens too lol

Getting crazy here, non of this will prolly happen but shit its good discussion

Who would you be down to move in this scenario?

Everything seems accurate?

Celtics need to send out $16M in salary if Kawhi were to waive his trade kicker (Kyrie did this) to get him.
 
The following deal would work financially (not necessarily saying value wise, just getting salaries to work)
 
Jayson Tatum
Marcus Morris (expiring)
Guerschon Yabusele ('19 club option = expiring)
Abdel Nader
2018 LAL 1st
 
I know I'm awfully biased regarding Celtics #assets, but are there teams offering more than Tatum and a #2-5 pick in a really good draft? Like it could even be argued Celtics won't even offer that much, despite it being dumb not getting Kawhi if you could. And you'd run Horford-Kawhi-Hayward-Jaylen-Kyrie and have the most legit fucking defense since like the 04 Pistons
 
Damn you paulie for getting me going like this lmao
