Been watching a lot of youtube vids on AD lately. Here he is torching a perennially tough Blazers team in the playoffs. Can't wait to see him in person next season:

I think his game will age well because he has good fundamentals and elite length. Duncan-esque.

Here is what we do:

Get Kawhi.

And fill in other role players.
I don’t care if you pull people from Dleague,
Fred VanVleet is nobody until you give him a chance and be a role player.
There are a lot of people that can play basketball at a high level.
Just not all of them gets to NBA, a lot of NBA players aren’t naturally role players, they just develop into one since there are only a few stars.

But you can really find role players anywhere that can do their job well.

If you have a lineup of

Kawhi
Kuzma
Lebron
AD

Anyone can be your point guard.

And please for love of God, avoid traps like
Kemba Walker
Jimmy Butler
Danny Green


These players are not worth the value.

Do everything you can to get Kawhi.

Patrick Beverly is a good piece too if he can come cheap. But we must get Kawhi.

Unless you lose a 7 foot 6 inch wingspan with age he'll be fine.

This trade in some way reminds me of Miami trading for Shaq. (Of the reverse Shaw trade.) They gave away a couple younger players (Odom and Caron), kept Wade, and then became champions.

Obv Shaq was at the end of his prime (or even past it) and AD is just entering it, but we have the reverse where he's coming to an end of prime-is James and we kept our youngin Kuzma.

So while the people/career placement of the guys involved were different, there are some similarities that hopefully result in us winning ringssss.

Did he say that?
Sounded more like Woj was just stating a detail, saying the Lakers were trying to get things done by July 6. Not necessarily saying that NOP didnt want to.

He'll hit his decline in his early 30s like KG imo. Right around the end of his next contract with us. It's a very good time to have him on the team.

One crazy thing when watching AD highlights — those home games, man, so many empty seats.

Staples is going to feel a lot different.

He could sign an extension this offseason, unless he gets more by waiting until Summer 2020, not sure how that works.

I know he can sign for even more money in 2022 as a 10-year vet, so whatever deal he signs will probably have an opt out provision for that year.

EDIT: He has a player option for 2021 that will most certainly be declined, even with the trade kicker he can make more in 2021 by signing a new deal.

Well, with no guarantees & not trading successfully for PG & Leonard, Magic has to overwhelm Pelicans with offer to get it done.

I thinking like Zubac BI, Hart, I’d even throw in Lonzo or multiple picks. Not sure if we can sign a very good player in summer, but we definitely need more shooters!


WOW, with Zubac unavailable. I guess you can say I nailed it!

Need lots of shooters!!!

Since he can create his own shot, can hit from outside, and sink his FTs, could AD be the most clutch bigman in the league?

The FT shooting is huge. He’s an 80% FT shooter. Here’s what our starting lineup shot from the line last year:

.417
.867
.657
.665
.632
