Great deal for the blazers, especially not having to include a pick. Whiteside will hold down the 5 while Nurk recovers, and if said recovery happens at a normal timescale, Hassan could also be a great expiring trade chip at the next deadline.Quote:

Dame-CJ-Whiteside-and 2 of Hood/Bazemore/Collins should be a decent enough starting/crunch time 5 to get to 50ish wins again.
fuck I forgot where I heard it (probably simmons/russillo pod), but I heard that simmons is supposedly really turning heads in POR...obv gonna be tough to get a ton of run with dame/CJ there so itll be interesting to see how they deploy him...Quote:

speaking of POR, dame getting a 50 ball a year...jesus Christ...I mean they obviously had to do it, but man that's one helluva contract...
Kawhi to the Lakers is done. Whats taking so long?
Welcome backQuote:

But to your point, all these deals were, indeed, done ages ago. It’s all an act and a wink.
Lakers are out, Kawhi probably thinks Lebron is a complete douche
Judging from his play in the 80’s, I’m betting Kurt Rambis will encourage LeBron & Anthony Davis to settle their inevitable differences with their fists.Quote:

interesting drama on reddit involving the lakers. apparently a poster known as RDAmbition has been super accurate with his lakers predictions
nba redditors doxxed him and are saying it's jeanie buss' nephew.
https://www.reddit.com/r/lakers/comm...st_rda_update/
anyway, i think he said kawhi is going to the lakers or at least that he ruled out the clippers maybe. something
so just when the lakers were looking functional, jeanie's nephew is out there leaking, allegedly.
it's done per rda
this is what makes kahwi, kahwi...never figured he'd be a follower...lone wolf guy...have his own team, not sucking on the teat of LeBron...Quote:

I still like my under...LeBron might murder one of the bench bums before the year is over...think jr smith, only a million times worse...
guy has 9 tweets but almost 30K followers, so I assume he has some gravity. what's his deal?
see my post above the tweet. he's a poster on the lakers reddit forum that has been scary accurate with predictions, who recently got doxxed as being jeanie buss' nephew. i noticed a lot of real sports reporters follow him tooQuote:

Interesting.
Anyone know what the RD in RDAmbition stands for?
the rumor is that it stands for Riley Drexel, which is the name of one of jeanie's nephews (janie buss's son). again, no idea if this is true, but the internet seems convinced of it based on very old reddit postings. he deleted his reddit account when this all came out.Quote:

The ol' "reset password" trick where it offers to text the account owner, and reveals like the last 2 digits of the phone number. Then you attempt to find that person's phone number and see if it matches.
Only problem is that others already tried this, as the account has "exceeded the maximum number of reset attempts" lol.
Did anyone post their findings after trying this?
I don’t know anything about this, but I remember this kid a few years ago when I was watching the Lebron to Lakers thing and it’s definitely that kid Blake named. He had stuff linked at that time which included pictures of him and Jeannie in family photos and shit. Whether he’s right or wrong or jumping the gun I have no idea, but he’s the late doctor’s grandson and her nephew.Quote:

No one would have dreamed that Kawhi would go to the Raptors.
I'm sorry but they just won the championship and have the pieces to do it again.
Even signed a Eurodonk 3 pt wizard (47%).
as a sixer fan i'm torn. i want kawhi out of the east. on the other hand, fuck the lakers obviously
Jeanie Buss was the last to know Magic was leaving.
I can’t give this shit any weight personally, but game on.
What I found amusing was that my book only offered futures on 29 NBA teams. #Courage
Lakerssodysfunctional
just for you blake…$34M per for a guy who doesn't have the willingness to shoot the ball...gotta love the NBA...
Lebrons guys are not so subtly confirming kawhi every few hours on twitter. Itd be pretty embarassing if it doesnt happen.

His shooting will improve. This kid has the potential to be extra special IMO.

Story checks out
Arghhhhhhhhh
Yea its ugly. How many units on LAL U66?Quote:

Kawhi adds 12 wins? I think I would just surrender and pass on this good value. I just wouldn’t follow for another year.Quote:

Adam Silver is all over the social media & NBA soap opera 24/7/365. I like him a lot.
Consider this: rejecting the deal for impropriety (aka LA gross incompetence) would provide the same sort of commissioner vs big cap franchise that Goodell successfully employed years ago with Brady to spin NFL drama 365. That was kind of revolutionary
had to look, but he's shot 17 3s total in his last two regular seasons...doesn't really mean a damn in the regular season when everybody is just going through the motions, but once you get to the playoffs and the Stevens/nurses/buds/pops of the league have a chance to poke holes in your game and exploit your weaknesses it won't end well...Quote:

remains to be seen if he'll bust his ass in the offseason to add that to his game...
oh ben is borderline unplayable in the playoffs because of his lack of a jumpshot. i want him traded.
that said, i agree with offering him the max due to his potential. if you offered him less, he'd get super-emotional and will silently quit on the team
I was just throwing out a bloated #Quote:

honestly don't think a trade would be a bad idea...I just don't understand why they spunked all that money on Al given they have embiid…Quote:

Well to be clear id guess that lebron and co were deinitely convinced kawhi was a laker but given that hes in toronto today id say its no sure thing.
Sanlmar-
538 has the kawhi lakers at 53w,the 4th best roster of all time.
Ive enjoyed watching the sixers recently but expecting ben to start shooting well at this point seems like a longshot. This will be his 5th year right? I know guys like jkidd have turned that part of their games around but this dude is nowhere close. I get why they had to give him the max but if they dont figure out how to use him correctly he will never be a factor late in big games. Right now i dont see anything better than a poor mans draymond which makes for a fine starter i guess but how far can they go with him as #2?Quote:
