Kawhi is going to be better than LeBron in 2019? I'll believe it once I see it. I'm willing to eager that LeBron will have better health than both Kawhi and PG next year. Dude is a machine even at 34. No player would do what LeBron has done throughout his career in season and postseason year after year as he's done. No one in this current crop of players. He's the most dominant player I've seen in quite some time and he's not done yet. Led everyone in everything in his last finals win so I am interested to see which LA team will beat the other this postseason. Clippers do have one of the best coaches in Doc Rivers though. I give them that

I don't believe it was a coincidence that a day after Magic ran and blabbed to the Times that a report came out from Woj emphasizing how important it was for Leonard to keep stuff in house and not let out all the business.


In comparison, we didn't really hear a whisper from the Clippers throughout this whole process.

We haven't heard a whisper from them throughout their existence. As MJ would say, 16 > 1

And yet LA missed on the two players that were always supposed to be lakers In George and Leonard.

Yeah. Where the heck did this Paul George swerve come from? Clippers are loaded now. They got some nice young pieces like Shamet, Robinson, and Harrell. One of the best sixth men in the league in Williams and now two stars like George and Leonard. They are gonna be really tough to beat now.

Yeah KL said get PG and I'll go there lol they made it happen

Magic is my favorite player of all-time...that said imo I don't think he did much to bring in LBJ. He was going there regardless of magic.

Well. All I'm saying is Magic flaws and all ain't just some nobody that can be taken lightly

Well let's not go over the long list of FAs the Lakers have nabbed throughout their existence. Here now are the Jonny come lately clippers. Congrats to them but like I tell Seahawk fans 5>2

LeBron has a record that speaks for itself. AD is healthy now and with a LeBron he'll be that much healthier this season. LeBron makes guys better in all ways

Hey laker fans can't be that pissed, you guys got LBJ and AD.

That said AD isn't an iron man and LBJ will be 35. Maybe snag boogie on the cheap? AD is your franchise player LT.

That's fair, ownership matters in sports and seems like LA's is all messed up right now, no?

Hey I get it...all that kinda doesn't matter at this moment though. Lakers still had Kobe not too long ago so there are still memories of winning (somewhat recently).

Knick fans always give me the...dude it's MSG. It's the Mecca of basketball blah blah. Ain't nobody care about that s**t anymore. These kids are like 19-20yrs old and all they know is the Knicks suck and have bad owners lol.

All I'm saying is LA has to start winning some games, it's been what 6-7 yrs?

It's insane how much power the players have in the NBA...kinda annoying

They'll win some games. Every club has their droughts

Good luck scoring from the perimeter. Clips will have Beverely, George, Kawhi defending out there. Underrated part of this is how ridiculous that is. That's perhaps the three best perimeter defenders in the league and they'll all be in the same lineup.

It's very early but Clips rostr as good or better than GSW ever were in my opinion. The depth is crazy. Those three plus Harrell, Lou Williams, All-Rookie guy in Shamet, Zubac, and they'll probably get a decent player to sign there still.

The NBA has acknowledged it can't do much about player-related tampering. But the reports that Leonard was out there talking to PG about LA—after the whole Durant situation—has to drive Thunder officials crazy.

It's the exact opposite of the NFL. Player's league vs an owners league. The players in the NBA are bigger than the teams. The players sell the merchandise in the NBA as opposed to the NFL. Completely different game which is why if I'm a dual sport athlete I choose NBA over NFL. More guaranteed money and more power

Then you have Doc Rivers as coach. LOL

Danny Green to the Lakers. Two years and 30 mil.

I don't know about that GSW had three of the best shooters in the NBA. Throw in Green and his energy on defense.

Not sure we will see a team like that in a while.

Staples center will be rocking all yr though
