Official Around The NBA Thread.....July

I'm embarrassed for him. Sad

Same man. It is really cringeworthy. I don't understand how he doesn't see it.

 

[RR7]

Looks like hes working out against Embiid.

Generously lists porter as a 2. And Arthur as a3. Pretty unbalanced roster there

Ugh. Just want him gone. Someone needs to compile all his stupid pictures the last year of himself on Instagram and get a viral tweet going. Dude needs to go away

 

[calvin natt]

I wonder if his wife knows

He's got "fuckboy" written all over him. Smh....

 

[riverman]

Did he get cocaine in his hair or did he get a lot of white hair?

Felton was eating donuts next to him

Barton is their backup PG at the moment. But ya, crazy.

Not really that bad. I guess you need two players per position and they have:

PG: Murray - too short, can bring a couple of cheap players to fill in
SG: Harris - they can also play Barton there and Beasley is up and coming
SF: Barton - Porter could take this place from him if healthy which would push him to back up at 2 and 3. Lyles can play there
PF: Lots of guys but only really Millsap and Lyles will play significant minutes.
C: Jokic and Plumlee - too much playmakinf, too little defence but it’s fine.

It’s really not that bad. Add one point guard and get Porter healthy and it’s a good roster.

he is too short or their depth at Pg is too short?

Around Kawhi, what’s been made abundantly clear is there’s not an interest to go join a super team. I don’t think he’s jumping for joy that LeBron James is in L.A. with the Lakers. If anything, that’s going to make him look maybe more toward the Clippers. Because this is a guy that won Finals MVP against LeBron James. You think he’s amped up and wants to join LeBron now? I think that’s been overstated, and the Spurs are beginning to realize that and beginning to realize that we might have a broadened market for him.

So when he said that he wanted to play for the Lakers, did he not realize that there was a strong possibility that LeBron was going to head over there? And then I come across this:

Now had he said he wanted to play in LA, then fine, Clippers it is. I usually don't really care about what a player says in a press conference. However, Kawhi has some explaining to do.

Shit man... Lets go after him.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Shit man... Lets go after him.

Kawhi himself has said basically nothing all year. I swear the media is making half this stuff up or team execs / agents are just leaking made up info. One day he only wants to play in LA the next well he doesn’t want to play with Lebron, the next well he doesn’t want a super team. If there’s half truth in all this does he even WANT to play basketball anymore...? It doesn’t make sense...

Damned straight. It's the first thing that has made sense in a long time.

I've wondered if it's his wife posting all his beef cake pics. Well, more like hoped.

This is what so weird about all of this. I swear this league, especially the offseason, has just as much drama as a soap opera.

Dame doesn't want to join a superteam, Kawhii doesn't want to join a superteam, maybe they should get together in Portland....

He’s a weird dude and yes, I think it’s a legit question - does he want to even play? He’s probably made enough money to just chill out and do what he wants.

And make a super team?

That's more of a dynamic duo

It would be a good start to a super team though.
And don't forget the ever talented Meyers The Hammer Leonard.

Suuuuuure. Better that than Half-shirt Leonard.

For it to work, you need Dame to reach out to him & try to understand exactly where his head is at.

His crazy uncle (?) who's trying to manage him needs to be cut out of the loop

Portland has plenty of it for his off seasons....

Your fucking avatar is going to give me nightmares. It's hard enough to see him in a blazers uniform, but this is just going too far.

 

[BlayZa]

WTF.

Twitter User: If the Blazers traded you to the Lakers to help LeBron would you be happy? Damian Lillard: I’m typically a happy camper

It's pretty brutal. I agree.
