@Mr. Untouchable: Kawhi Leonard is in fact in attendance at LeBron James Toronto Reunion one source said.

It's been reported that Kawhi was spotted at LBJ's party in Toronto last night. Keep planting the seeds LeRecruit.


I would guess that many of the Raptor players were there. Klutch marketing baby!

Of course I wanted PG13, but interestingly, Kemba is about the same age as PG13. However, guards at Kemba's size tend to age less gracefully so there's that.

Jimmy is about 1.4 years older than Kemba/PG13.

I would guess that the league would look very closely at any player who was in the movie and then ended up on Lebron’s team.

Why would they if they're a FA and if it's a player, not a team, inducing another player to come?

Now if the Lakers did something afoul of the CBA to a non-FA, sure.

They don’t have to, but good to see that you are so involved in the movie.

Yes, and Butler or Walker is better than KCP and Lance. We basically can’t punt cap space next offseason

We cannot and should not. 6 years of punt teams and we wonder why there is no established culture on this team.

Really crazy that Ingram is the longest tenured Laker in his third year. At 22 years old.

Add in the coaching changes and ownership bickering and it is even less of a surprise the Lakers are in such chaos.

Will not be any better this summer with all the expiring contract players needing to be replaced or if a mega trade sends out several players. Not too far a stretch to potentially seeing James the only returning player of the top ten mpg this season.

Scary to think of that kind of roster turnover and expecting any kind of chemistry. Good luck Magic!

That sort of fits with what Magic wants (big name), better shooting (Dedmon/Bullock).

This team really needs a lunch pale guy like Aminu or Mbah a Moute. Their severEly lacking in hustle guys. It's why Williams stands out so much.

They also would need that sniper my man.

Butler and Walker just aren't worth the team missing out on two crucial team needs.

But your point is valid and recieved: Magic won't sign Bogdanovic over Butler.

I agree. Anything's possible though. He's got to be experiencing some moments of self-reflection after the Davis debacle and Zuback trade, so maybe ...

"It's been reported" - maybe the most passive-aggressive meaningless phrase in the history of news-breaking.


The tweet was a statement that Kawhi was there. I added the commentary on the bottom referring to the report.

But Magic is pretty unequovical about having a second "star," though it's a major dilution from KD/KL to Kemba/Jimmy.

Absolutely, but it depends on the timing. If Player X signs with the Lakers, then gets cast in a cameo role, it would be no big deal. If Player X signs a deal that pays significant money, then signs with the Lakers around the same time, there would be multiple possible issues.

But this strikes me as unlikely. Kawhi Leonard does not seem like someone who would want to be in the movies.

I agree and not arguing, just pointing out that he's already reticently acknowledged that he was wrong about not needing shooters by making it his top priority at the deadline. It is possible that he just might be interested in a guy, Bogdanovic, who is shooting over 42% from three and averaging 18 points a game.

It doesn't take a very smart man to see that this team is better with Bogs, Rivers, and Aminu than they are with Butler, Jimmer Fredette, and Jared Dudley.

TMZ actually captured footage of Lebron recruiting:

Maybe they can bring in somebody great to be a layer between Magic and Rob (steep corporate hierarchies make me want to vomit, but in this case, it may be needed).

Or they can promote Rob out of harm's way, thereby not pissing off Kobe too much, and hire a young hotshot with real GM or assistant GM experience. A Theo Epstein or Sam Presti type.

I don’t think that I would want to see him in one. I don’t want to see Lebron in one.
