    If Pop is perceived to be fucking with Leonard's future his popularity among the media and players goes way down

    He's about one year away from he could only win with Duncan anyway

    Phil could only win with Jordan and Pippen or Kobe and Oneal.

    The Detroit Pistons are the only team in the modern era to actually win a title without a bonafide all-time great. Saying Pop needed Duncan isn't really a dis as much as a reality.
    Yikes.


    Isaiah Thomas is an all time great.
    He's not talking about those Pistons.


    Yeah I always forget about that shitty team and shitty era of the NBA.

    Haralabob says Lebron to the Lakers is a wrap. This means it’s a wrap.

    LBJ was NEVER staying in Cleveland … only way he wasn't going to LA was if he took a short-term trip to Houston for the purposes of beating the Warriors (nothing else matters). But it was always about getting to LA, becoming the billionaire athlete, his kids, his business endeavors, etc.

    The problem with the Kawhi deal between the Spurs and the Lakers is that the pieces don't really match up. If I'm the Spurs I'm never doing this deal with just Ingram and Kuzma as the major parts of the deal. The picks for the Lakers really will never hold interest. The only way that the deal is going to get done is to open it up to a 3-team deal because the Lakers will need to move out Lonzo as part of the deal because there's no way that LBJ is going to put up with LaVar's circus. The Celtics rumors for Kawhi I'm 81% sure are tied to the Spurs trying to create a market given that the Celtics have assets that they want and nothing will motivate the Lakers to act like thinking that they have competition from Boston. Problem is that Boston's never going to give a competitive offer as long as Kawhi doesn't commit long-term to them AND they are satisfied with his medicals.

    In the end, Kawhi's going to end up in LA because he holds the cards to do so ... whether that's with the Lakers now or with the Clippers next year as a free agent (assuming that the Lakers max out their cap space this year). Ultimately the Spurs are going to have to figure out how to make the best out of a shit sandwich.
