I’m hearing Lebron and Kawhi had a conversation about playing together in LA. If that happens the season is over.

They'd get run by GS. They have literally no outside shooting.

Josh Hart shot 39% from 3 last season and KCP shot 38%. Literally good outside shooters.

Josh who?

JR Caldwell Pope?

JR Smith made the dumbest play in NBA history. JR Smith also has a ring because he played next to Lebron James. I’ll let you google which team it was that they beat.

Kyrie Irving + Lebron> Kawhi + Lebron



Also, GSW didn't have Durant.

RIP LeBrons finals streak

Or even sniffing the Finals ever again without being traded. He’s setting himself up for life after B-ball. Can’t blame him for that. He certainly is not chasing a championship anymore. No Paul. No George. The only way they get Leonard is to get rid of Kuzma and Randle/Ingram and offer a few first rounders. Buford and Pop aren’t bringing Big baller to the river walk. So that would leave them looking to Boogie as the 3rd piece if they can get Leonard.

The Lakers are now the 3rd best team in the conference doing nothing else. With another piece they can challenge Houston. There’s nothing that can be done to challenge GS though.

This would be a decent troll if I wasn’t the biggest Kyrie stan on the board. Search his name and you’ll find me arguing about how great he is. He’s not close to Kawhi.

Kyrie's style of play compliments Lebron's much better. Kawhi's a little redundant. He's better than Kyire but I think Kyrie brings a whole different element to defend.

Totally disagree, Kyrie's style is way more redundant alongside LeBron. Kyrie needs the ball in his hands, just like LeBron does. Kawhi is much more comfortable playing off the ball. And Kawhi is way more versatile defensively than Kyrie is.

Kawhi (assuming he's a Laker, and healthy) will be by far the best player LeBron has ever played with and the best match for LeBron.

I still don't think it's enough to get by GS, but that's a different discussion.

Kawhi doesn’t need to bring the ball up nor really have a play set for him to get his. But He can bring the ball up when needed AND be the dagger at the end of games if needed. His level of play when He was the best 2-way player in the league before getting hurt and no one else was close. Kyrie is a good defender when he wants to be. Kawhi may be the best ever guarding the 1-3 spots though. Better than Mike, Scottie, GP or any of them.

Minor edit there.

Not sure Kawhi's the GOAT wing defender, but he's definitely in the discussion.
