If Curry is this transcendental superstar I've been told about for years, he shouldn't have a problem getting into the playoffs with Draymond Green and Russell.

I think right now Kawhi-George at their current ages are a better combo than one of a 35 year old James-Davis combo. |

That’s why I was trying to figure out what he meant by “Kawhi loyalty”.

Softest star in the league? Maybe on par with Durant. This guy was choking playoff games to the Demar Raptors when he was a Pacer, now he bolts OKC after one season and holds his incoming franchise hostage to do it.

Shannon Sharpe is going to call out sick for the next week
Skip was actually right in that Clippers FO is the best in the association and they can be very persuasive over the circus that is the LA Lakers. Get rekt Bron Bron dick riders. |

Kawhi was never going to sign anywhere else but LA.
That’s where he’s wanted to be all along. He forced the Spurs hand over it and did them dirty. He had to play hard for the Raptors to show he still had ‘it’ after quitting on the Spurs. |

I think things will change with the next NBA CBA because you are hearing it albeit quietly that the owners don't like what is occurring with certain players having maximum leverage on teams. George had 2 years left on his contract and was able to force his way out and Kawhi basically sat the entire 2018 season so he could leave, that is not good for anybody. |

In any league where there's more player control, the big markets will be favored (Toronto is a big market, yes, but it's not a destination for American players due to being outside of the USA). Same thing happens in baseball too.

You get any superstar when you can so the notion that they should have potentially punted on LeBron is an absolute joke. Paul George didn't spurn LeBron - he stayed in OKC because he wanted to play with Russ. George wasn't coming to LA last year regardless whether LeBron was there or not. He agreed to his deal before LeBron announced where he was going. The Lakers will be fine and this will create a great drama with the NBA. The Lakers got played in this scenario, but they'll be fine. |
