It seemed like a sure lock right? But now given the toxicity regarding LeBron, FO, AD trade saga, and missing the playoffs, I think this turns players away. Hope I'm wrong. |
Agreed, and I don't think you can blame them for being apprehensive. |

4 months ago LG wouldn't mind Butler coming as FA actually. |
dont fall for this silly "the Lakers are a pariah" narrative the anti-Lakers media keeps trying to push out
Durant was always a pipe dream with no legs
Kawhi is still in play
Klay would definitely sign here if the Warriors dont offer him Max
odds of Kyrie agreeing to come here actually improved
odds of Butler agreeing to come here actually improved
AD would be here right now if he had his way

the good thing is Davis still wants to be here and with Demps gone i think NO goes back to Ingram, Kuzma, Hart, pick 10 and a future 1st with us keeping Ball.
I dont really see Jimmy coming here simply he wnats the ball, so I see him in Brooklyn tbh. i could see IRving coming herre if we get Davis and if not it will be Davis, Lebron and possibly maybe Kemba who may not take the contract from CHA becuas they clearly cant draft and build and hes in his prime so id think we wants to win but maybe money is more important and try again when hes 30-32. idk but i def see us getting FA. Vucevic or Cousins is last resort but still good solid gets to put with Ingra,, Kuzma, Ball, and our lottery pick for all we know could be Morant (unlikely) but id love Culver or Rui. |

| I’m starting to get nervous that if we don’t end up with Zion we are gonna trade the lotto pick for LeBron’s butt buddy Kevin Love, something like the 6th pick to Cleveland for Love. |

literally zero chance we do that. were going after Davis in a trade and if not were keeping it. Going after Kyrie, Kwahi, Klay and if not we go after KEmba, Vuc, Cousins. we will get at least one of these guys including Davis. No way we go after Love unless somehow hes bought out. just too much money for his history and age for a top 10 pick. unless they sway there 1st for Love and say Ingram or Kuzma and we get Morant whom they dont really need with Sexton and badly needing a SF |

kevin love has basically negative value with that contract of his
even this FO wouldn't bleep that one up

Kawhi is really the best case scenario. |
If we knew we could get KL if we trade LeBron I might consider it, Leonard is that good. |

It might reach 3K by the end of the summer if we get KD or Kawhi |

He is literally one of the worst defensive bigs in the NBA. |

If KD is in NY, then Kyrie is good enough to be the 2nd best guy on this team as a contender
Hope KD goes to NY even if Kyrie stays. Would need a guy like Kemba or Butler at minimum though
If we get Kyrie though, have to move BI or ZO for sure for a better shooter/fits. Maybe even Kuzma too |

Do you guys feel like there is no possibility of BI/Ball being a good fit with Kyrie/Lebron? This team scores at a high rate inside the paint, and defend at a high level when healthy (as Kyrie knows). I know the league has changed, but I'd be curious to see how they work together.
What we need is opportunistic shooting, like we had with Kobe and Shaq, as opposed to shooting specialists. Guys like Fox, Horry, Harper, Shaw, Fisher, weren't great shooters, but they could hurt you if left wide open. We need guys more in that mold. If Hart ever fixes his knee he could be an important piece. Bullock too. |
