***2019 NBA OFF-SEASON***

I dont think this is going to be the old Clippers. Kawhi is simply too great to let that happen. In my opinion he is the best all around player in the game and immediately makes that team the best in the league. You have to admit that they have the potential to be an elite defensive team with Leonard, George, and Beverly.

Harell is a beast on defense also. I think the midnight madness yesterday makes them the best team as well

"That's a bad, bad shot," George said. "I don't care what anybody says. That's a bad shot. But hey, he made it. That story won't be told that it was a bad shot. We live with that."

lol @ we live with that...naaah dude, you demanded your second trade and ran outta there.

Excuse me? You're calling out PG-13 for "demanding a trade" when the Thunder wanted to stay out of the tax? Furthermore, as a tremendous Lebron follower (you HATED/DESPISED the Lakers and are now a fan because of this man) this is hypocritical. Lebron has a track record of questionable moves as well (taking my talents)

Not sure what your post has to do with anything I posted. Dude signed two contracts after his rookie deal and demanded trade from both teams because he couldn't advance past the 1st round lol

Speaking of being hypocritical - I thought you'd be upset with Kawhi recruiting PG and then PG demanding a trade because in Feb, you were losing your s**ts when Lebron did the same thing. Funny you real quite about that now and defending PG lol

foh

Wow, the lengths you go to defend your man, Lebron James. My goodness, this type of blind love is unprecedented. This is worse than Khloe Kardashian with Tristan Thompson.

Let me break it down for you: Competition = good. It's good when there are competitive series, games, and a level of uncertainty for NBA fans in general. This is entertainment, and entertainment is better with a degree of mystery. When we know who is going to win before the season starts (barring injury), it sucks. The only time an extreme super team is good is if it's your team.

I wasn't "losing my s**t." Honestly, I have been a staunch believer in Ingram since day one so we'll see how this trade unfolds long term. I also think Ball is going to ball out this year. Let this play out. I wanted the Pels to take that trade in Feb, with Kuz. It would have been bad for the Lakers long term IMO. I think your man's best days are behind him, but he's still elite obviously. When Lebron wanted AD that's one thing, but adding Kawhi makes them unbeatable.

Kawhi/PG on the Clips, your man/AD on the Lakers makes it a fun year. Utah, and Denver are really good as well. Philly/Milwaukee. We got some competition this year.

You're trying to call out PG-13 for wanting to go on a team to compete, and you're a Lebron groupy/fan (no offense, but by definition you are a groupy of his). That is hypocritical. That's how my initial post was related to yours.

^^^

Lol you were throwing your tantrums in Feb.

Again, I didn't call out PG. I stated a fact. Dude can't get out of 1st round and demands trade. Clippers better win something before 2021 FA. He's a FA - he'd bounce if Clippers fail and all those unprotected picks and swaps will be real nice for OKC.

And your hate for Lebron and by extension for me is unhealthy. Find something in life that will make you happy and hate less.

The Players own the sport. There will be enough money from players to own the franchises sooner than you think.

Yea I don't have any problem with what Kawhi and PG did. This is a players league and Ive always been good with that. I just find it funny that the media and ppl who hate on certain players are real quite right now when Kawhi and PG pulled the exact same thing.

...and I find PG's fake bravado hilarious.

Owners don't Own anymore, what's the point of being an Owner if the help dictates what you do. In the 1980's Gene Klein owned the SD Chargers and sold the team and got into horse racing. His reply to media was horses don't negotiate.

Lol bc they're not help. Players are a brand by themselves and they're the owners of their own brand. More power to them.

There are no owners in the NBA. Only governors.

As it should be

And I doubt it. Maybe Lebron will be able to buy a team like Memphis in 15 years, but the cost of NBA seams are getting ridiculous

The owners own the sport too. They buy these franchises for $500 million, hold for a few decades and sell for like $2.5 billion. You think they aren't making phenomenal amounts of money?

That TV and add revenue💰. More eyes glued to the tube equates to fatter contracts to broadcast and endorse the content
