NBA off-season talk

Who the fuck is Ninabambina?
Kawhi wants out of San Antonio so badly he is willing to give up his max deal ($200M) to get traded to another team for lesser pay. And reports are showing he wants to go to LAL!
Could LeBron and Kawhi end up on the same team? The Lakers would have to trade so many players and draft picks to make that happen. And at first, I thought Kawhi going to LA wasn't realistic. Didn't think SanAn and LA would be willing to do a big trade together. But if Kawhi wants to be there badly enough, he will. Maybe LeBron will end up in Philly although I really thought he was going to LA. Or maybe he'll end up in Houston, but I think that'd actually be a bad fit. This Kawhi thing might change all of that.
I am now pretty upset that I was defending Kawhi for sitting out in the playoffs. I had no idea he wanted out, so I thought he was saving his health for next season when the Spurs might possibly have a chance to beat the Warriors. I was wrong. He was preserving himself so he could be healthy for another team. I'd be pissed if I were a Spurs fan. If you want to leave, fine, but don't give up on your current team in the end. Bitch move.
This brings us to San Antonio. The great franchise is going to fall apart. Manu has maybe one year left, and Tony is past his prime. They need more young talent. And I now am questioning if Popovich will even remain the head coach. Seems like the entire Spurs organization is on the verge of unraveling.
Regarding the champs, their core group is clearly staying together at least through next year, with their biggest stars obviously sticking around for several more years.
I think Boston being healthy will be the team to beat in the east. But with two top players up for grabs (LeBron, Kawhi), who knows?
Got something to say?

Certainly interesting.
1. Charlotte
2. Memphis
3. Sacramento
They're kind of under the radar. Surprised few have mentioned these potential destinations.
I just think LeBron in particular wants to go somewhere where he is guaranteed to have a shot at at least one more ring, and Sac isn't exactly promising. Kawhi also probably wants to go to a team that is of a higher caliber. But, I mean, it's open to discussion.
If LeBron goes to LA they will certainly be better, but not championship caliber, although it will be iconic to see him there. If he and Kawhi both ended up there somehow, they'd have a chance at being a contender for at least a good playoff run, but they'd have to get rid of so many players it would really just end up being the Kawhi-Lebron show. Not sure how that would end up.
His hand seemed fine when he walked off the court and was giving fancy handshakes to all his friends and family. He requires no surgery at all, as again, it was just a contusion. It is not going to affect his off-season, so it's not really an off-season issue to me except perhaps how he chose to address it.
I recall Kobe back in like 2010 playing the entire playoffs and finals with an ACTUAL broken hand (I believe it was a broken index finger) and it was his shooting hand. He fought through it and won the title instead of getting swept.
LeBron is a pathological liar to create his own narrative, and is a self-serving narcissist. This takes away from his talent to me, and is a reason I stopped watching the NBA for years.
Ass-lickers!!!
LeBron and Kawhi are both star players, it's natural that people will talk about them in an off-season thread because we don't know if one is staying or going somewhere else, and the other has an explicit desire to leave. You're the one with your tongue always stuck up LeBron's ass.
Warrenboy75 if he stays in Cleveland, I think it'll be his last season there. It's not like they're going to win a title next year. He just seems really frustrated in the organization (even supposedly self-inflicting an injury to himself out of frustration).
Anyone have an idea where Lebron and Kawhi are going now that we saw the draft outcome?
I think Kawhi really wants to get to LA. I think LeBron really wants a chance at getting a 4th ring before Steph, Klay, and Draymond.
Jester - Look through my discussion points if you want. I have BEEN saying he is going to LAL.
"Counting the posts I make is a little obsessive isn’t it?"
You have made 3 discussion topics since I made this one, Shailynn. It isn't hard or obsessive to know how to count to 3, Shailynn. You refuse to comment on this thread because you're mad that I beat you to it on an NBA off season thread, Shailynn. You've now made 3 new discussion topics about various NBA deals since I made this one, Shailynn. This isn't an ESPN message board, Shailynnnnn. If you weren't such a hater you could've commented here instead of creating three new threads, Shailynnnnn. All of your threads are subject matter specifically pertaining to this thread, you just came up with dumb names to disguise it, like "let the saga begin" and "NBA 20," Shailynnnnn.
But where is Kawhi? That will help make more accurate estimations. And the question stands, can Kawhi ever be as good as he once was? I feel like his mental game is off, but of course that was likely linked to his unhappiness in SanAn.
If Boston is healthy, they will be good. Does everyone think it'll be Boston or Philly in the finals, or have we forgotten the JV conference all together now that LeBron left? Lol.
He’s obviously an amazing player. He doesn’t get in trouble off the court. He’s a family man. He plays the game unselfishly.
What’s not to like?
LeBron is the GOAT. Haters gonna hate.
For instance, lebron does not discuss his accomplishments pertaining to basketball in the context of NFL rules nor in NFL forums. In contrast , nina talk about her legal ambitions as well as her own self perception on here, in front of an audience who neither comprehensively understands how the law school admissions game functions(nor should u, since you would have to do a bit of research for that), nor has inquired about what she thinks of herself to the EXTENT WHICH SHE discusses. Lmao what does what she thinks of herself or what she wants to do have anything to do regarding strip club affairs. What she does is synonymous to me walking into a kindergarten class and talking about how im in third grade..doing so is not only enirely unrelated to the context at hand, but only provides the false sense of ego one(she) most likely seeks to gain.
Like of course a comment that has at least SOME kind of substance will seem adequate on a fucking strip club forum. But take yoyr style of arguing to the legal field in which you aspire to enter, THEN tells us if "how you write and argue " bear any quality in that RELEVANT context.
Now shes gonna talk about how what i say is irrelevant to this forum.and shes going to be more embarrasing for pointing that out and in turn conflating "lack of popularity" for my posts with irrelevance. My posts and what i say have ALL been about what others have said or about this industry..the only time i talked about myself(my school, my looks) was when multiple members brought it up first , hence still being relevant rather not Lmao.
Then shes gonna talk abt how this post was very long, but in doing so, her dumbass must have forgetten the multuple lengthy posts and comments she has provided as well!!!! Furthermore, at least my lenghty comments do not.involve me articulating how great i think of my self, unless they were a response to someone questionong my greatness in the first place. Thats bc instead of devoting time to how telling others how great i think i am on tuscl, i would rather e devote it to competing with myself or others in the field of law who actually are already great..not talking about it amongst members who most likely dont even know what the fuck t14 means or what lsat score separates you from getting into cornell vs harvard law (which they shouldnt be expected to as i already stated lol).
BUT, are we really surprised that someone would come to TUSCL to gain a false ego(whether that was her intention or not bc whatever ego she gets frm here is false since she would have to test her skills to the real world for them to hold any merit) when she continously braggs about the attention reveived from a post where she had to pretend to be someone else(aka me lol) ?
Shitt..im not even bragging abt her having to pretend to be me OR ATLEAST make it about me to get attention..i just pointed that out to show how she is epitome of a false ego lol
Nikki out! Have a nice day to anyone reads this including nina.
Right because my team just swept him. That is so threatening.
You're a real insider.
I'm glad the Warriors signed Cousins. I think he will fit in. Damn, the Warriors are going to be unstoppable. They'll probably win the next 3-4 championships (you wanna challenge that too, jester? I've said that before as well).
LeBron will probably set things up so after he's done his 4 years with LA he can go back to Cleveland and have his son drafted there and retire after playing a season on the same team as LeBron Jr. Lol.

I answered your question now please answer mine. When did I make you feel so emasculated that you decided to pick apart every post of mine that you respond to?
You're not the only one that I've pointed out was wrong. I know you need to think everyone is obsessed with you, but you're not special.

Basically with the moves after him it looks as if they are throwing a bunch of crud on a wall and looking to see if any of it is going to stick. I don't see any strategy and much sense in how they are going to challenge for the West.
And that isn't counting papa Ball inserting his agenda and mouth into the equation.
When you consider the average team in the Western Conference is better than the average team in the East I am wondering if the Lakers are going to make the playoffs and if they do are we talking about the 7th or 8th seed?
On a side note it seems the reasons I thought LeBron would stay in Cleveland at least one more year are still on his mind although he has left. Still doing good deeds in Northeast Ohio.
Those are my boobs lol. The troll just stole my "avi."
