D-Wade outta retirement

 

Dirk should come out of retirement to join them, too.

 

Kawhi, Lebron, AD.

Just do it for one season so I can watch Bill Simmons literally explode.

 

please go out west Board Man

 

Bucks in 6!!!!!

 

Laker's a 67-Win team just like the Celtics last year

 

yeah but the Lakers will actually have legitimate All stars on their squad

 

How dare you disrespect the great Marcus Smart

 

I don't care what happens as long as the Celtics get Kemba

 

I'll return Anthony Davis' $4M trade kicker to him if the Lakers sign Delonte West.

 

Bucher isn’t really a source I’d buy

 

I’m staying bearish on the Lakers, expectations are high but even with max talent and filler they’re not going to be a great team. Gonna be a lot of disappointment.

 

I still think Kawhi stays

 

So much for the Knicks getting a meeting, eh?

I'm honestly surprised he's even going to meet with the Lakers. So much for all the talk over the last year about how he didn't want to be LeBron's sidekick.

 

I expect Tobias to be a hawk or something random

 

Knicks to the inevitable abyss

 

article says they're still trying to secure one but idk why bother at this point

 

only RJ Barrett wants to play in New York

 

Seriously. They're going to come out of this with just Tobias Harris, and only because no one else actually offered him a max.

 

Can’t wait to see how much LeBron James will have to pay Yosemite Sam for his #6 in Space Jam 2

 

There are very few players in the NBA worth max deals: Harris (and Butler) are not two of them right now. Though I still think the Sixers will get one of the two (maybe not Butler as I had thought as late as yesterday), I wouldn't mind using all of the cap space to surround Embiid/Simmons with quality pieces.

 

Kawhi gonna do a 1+1 to run it back

 

Depends how you define "worth" ... there's a lot of teams with cap space and therefore there's a lot of players that will get max offers. If you're a team that can't get someone "worth" the max spot any other way, then they're gonna have to pay a little more to get that player.

Butler and Harris are going to get paid.

 

lol I know this is "the joke", but Perry has, multiple times, said they only plan to offer the max to the top tier of FAs. Whether or not the FO deserves the benefit of the doubt is debatable, but he's done an alright job so far
