There’s an awful lot of smoke on this Kawhi to Lakers thing.

I don’t want it to happen but I think it’s happening...

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Jaynes was right.

Thanks, Dwight.

Except when someone tweeted at Dwight asking if the second signing last night was our other move that we were expecting, Dwight said yes.......

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

I think people on twitter are trolling. They're not all outscooping Woj and Shams GTFOH

Agreed. There seems to be a lot of smoke out there. Same feeling 3 years ago when KD was making his decision. The momentum was all to GSW...

 

[blazerfan11]

Maurice Harkless is going to the Clippers according to woj.

Also sent to the Clippers from Miami is the Heat's first round pick, lottery protected until 2026.

 

[riverman]

C’mon Max! Wouldn’t it be fun to see him next to AD and Bron???

not as much fun as between Lowry and Gasol

 

[PCmor7]

There has only really been 2.

Miami and LAL if Kawhi goes there.

Everyone else built theirs

What about the Celtics with KG and Ray Allen joining Paul Pierce?

 

[Scalma]

I remember we worked him out last year, or whenever he was drafted. If he’s looking to come over...maybe? Not sure he’s ready.

Looks like he wants to come over.

They were traded to the Celtics. They didn't join or force it

 

[Propagandist]

Jaynes was right.

Dwight Jaynes can suck it.

Only in a hospital ward or in the Eastern Conference. I hate the L*kers more than any other franchise this side of the C*wboys.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Dwight Jaynes can suck it.

No, he wasn't right.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Next year will either suck or be great and it all comes down to Kawhi's decision

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Lost in all the hoopla...
Little signs a contract.

 

[Sarni]

I hate this Kawhi move so much. It’s much worse than KD to Warriors because Warriors at least developed their super team. Lakers will have one just because they are Lakers.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

We really need to bank on Kawhi witnessing some weird LA bum doing something downright nightmare inducing.

I live in the LA area. Was driving into work a few weeks ago, passed a bus-stop where a homeless man had his pants down taking a shit. Good way to start the day.

Anyway, back to the offseason news.

That’s a power move

I would really like to sign him, didn't think he'd be available. I'm not sure if he wants to come over bad enough to take the minimum though.

He's only 23. He'd fit right in with our bench mob.

Can someone give me a rundown of the contract situation of each new player on the team ?

Hezonja signed for the minimum with a 2nd year player option.

Hood signed for the Tax-MLE of $5.7 million with a player option of $6 million the following year.

Tolliver signed for the minimum, I'm assuming one year deal.

Bazemore makes about $19.2 million, last year of his contract.

Whiteside makes about $27 million, last year of his contract.

Little's contract numbers aren't released yet but are expected to be around $2.1 million for the 1st year.

Everyone sees it happening, but very few seem to care.

 

[hoopsjock]

I noticed that's the picture that comes up on his google search. Is it a sign?

 

[DDolla]

LOL

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Just looking at our roster... man, if we could find a way to land Montrezl Harrell somehow If the Clippers strikeout this off-season I’d be the happiest man in Oregon.

It's pretty ridiculous. Why even have the rule at all if no one is going to follow it and there are no repercussions?

My dream is that the other 29 teams get hit with tampering charges and have to forfeit their 1st round pick next year and we get the #1 pick by default because we're the only team they didn't have evidence of cheating before the new league year begins.
