You just have to love the Knicks. They are making it a fun day.
SAS is about to rants on first take tomorrow.

Al Horford 7sixers $109, didn’t see that coming, maybe I wasn’t looking
Very interesting deal. I also thought it might be asinine keeping Butler and Harris. He is also backup for Embiid which is very key.

Their problem now is who replaces JJ Redick
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:21am On Jul 01, 2019
Knicks FO already putting out a statement! cheesy cheesy cheesy

Someone needs to take ownership away from J. Dolan. grin grin

Lmaooooo it would have been smarter if they just stuck with their young guys and G-LEAGUE level backups instead of refusing to max KD and getting Julius Randle and goddamn Taj Gibson

Eruditor:
Wonderful post but please don't take the bait.

Notice how KD is a b!tch but Kawhi, PG, AD should play with Bron and somehow Bron is still the goat.

People hate KD because he made the best possible move for his own career. They are going to hate him again after this season as he won't go anywhere.

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:25am On Jul 01, 2019
If the Sixers are getting Josh Richardson for a sign and trade for Jimmy Butler then this is a solid deal. I do wonder what their cap situation would be like though. They would be balls deep in luxury tax surely
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:39am On Jul 01, 2019
Gentle reminder, with or without kawhi you lot are in serious trouble. Unfortunately for you Kawhi to the lakers is inevitable!
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 2:43am On Jul 01, 2019
A40:
Yeah if that player has a beta mentality like AD seems to have. Put Kawhi or KD there and the argument would be different
Could that be the reason why KD would never explore the option of playing with LeBron?
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 2:50am On Jul 01, 2019
How many times has Eruditor been wrong now in the past few weeks? First it was GS were going to win the chip and secondly KD was staying with GS. Not to even talk about the one he said no superstar ever wanted to play with LeBron.

Lol. People here actually thought KD was gonna re-sign with the Warriors? I mean, what other clues did you need?. Y'all were like "KD and the Warriors are cool with each other", LMAO.

Wake up people. KD already had his bags packed since the middle of the regular season. And that BS that happened in the playoffs just crowned it all up.

CLASSLESS ORGANIZATION.

So Knicks were worried about KD injury, and didn’t offer him max
That was the smartest thing to do.

I still think 70% KD is 27ppg
And 100% KD is what? 40ppg?

He is coming to Warriors...No championship this season, we will save the money to land Gianis next free agent
You think everybody is KD?
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 3:04am On Jul 01, 2019
Northeastern:
Kawhi's move is partly dependent on what KD does. Now that he's decided to have sense, the odds of Kawhi joining the Lakers has materially diminished.

Win 5 in a row by teaming up and you'll never be considered a great as the real 23, he led the bull without forming a gang with top players.
Who cares whether he'll be considered as a great or not? He has already done what no other superstar has done so he doesn't have anything to prove to anybody.

No matter what happens from this point til the end of his career, he's right there at the top. He might never be LeBron or MJ, but he can certainly surpass KD and the likes.

Can you prove the highlighted portion?

Yes, I was wrong in saying GSW will win the chip. I was also wrong in saying KD would re-sign. I can count the amount of times I have been wrong, because I rarely am.

SmooshCHN:
That's why he has his own medical team which look after his own interest. He pays them so they're inclined to do whatever favours KD and yes, they ask for external consults but I don't know why some people will just choose to believe the Warriors made all the decisions for KD when he has his team and agents looking out for their client.

Kevin Wayne Durant has 3 Western conference finals championship, 2 NBA championship rings and 2 finals MVP award. No one can take that from him. If you insist he has no rings, then LeBron James has just one ring and if the Lakers win, it would not count by your logic. But you and others won't agree because your own logic is to be reversed when it comes to LeBron.

In my book, Jeremy Lin has more rings than Westbrook, Harden and CP3 combined even if he hardly played 10mins in the finals. No one can't take that from him. I don't give a fúck about stories and whether someone got carried or teamed up with superstars. Ring is Ring.
You think the Warriors give a fu*k what any personal doctor says? If their team doctors say KD is fit to play, then he's fit to play and that is final.

team doctor don't have the final say.
Cavs team doctors try to force Kyrie to play in the 2014/2015 finals with a bad knee.

Kevin Durant left the warriors.
This just confirms that bullying is very effective.

Don't try to find reason with that guy, he is unreasonable.

The highlighted portion is what saddens me the most. If there was anything called self-immolation in basketball. KD did it.

Hurt GSW and hurt himself. Because of people who will still not be impressed.

No self respecting elite level player would derive any joy playing with a megalomaniac like LeNomad. You could win titles and never get your due credit no matter how much you contributed because LeNomad would still take all the glory.

I hope Kawhi does not make that mistake. If he leads Toronto or the Clippers to another chip we might be discussing not LeNomad but Kawhi and KAJ as the runner up to MJ'S GOAT status
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:38am On Jul 01, 2019
LOL! You have to give credit where its due. The warriors FO are fvcking brilliant. Too bad this time around they face a monster that has never been seen in NBA history.
Re: The NBA Begins by ipledge10(m): 4:39am On Jul 01, 2019
As per Woj Warriors about to sign DLO on $117M four year contract. I thought about this, but it didn’t make sense to me since our two best players are guard.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:41am On Jul 01, 2019
So this is what they do to Iggy for outing them for the gremlins they are? LOOOOL! Cold!

@donlittle25
Are you excited about Dragic going to the Mavericks? They still need a couple of 3 and D guys if you ask me. However a lineup with Dragic-Hardaway-Doncic-Porzingis-Powell is quite curious

Iguodala to Grizzlies for cap space

Thank you Iguodala sad sad
Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 4:45am On Jul 01, 2019
I am excited actually? What is the worse that could happen? I would prefer something other than Powell tho. If we could go for cousins? I heard cousins wants a Max deal tho and my guy has had two serious injury in the past two years so no team will give him that. Still excited o

Powell has more upside than Boogie. I won't take Boogie for anything more than a mid-level prove it deal. The Mavs were smart for not going ahead to overpay anybody. Fingers crossed Kristaps is healthy, that's the make or break deal for the Mavs right now. If he rehabs well then this 5year/$158 would be a steal, remember he's not 24 yet
