Kyrie wants to be the top guy, he'd be #3 on The Lakers....Bubye.
Walker is a 27 pt a game guy, would he be willing to step back like Wade did in Miami ?
Butler is interesting. He is a complete player who might be more willing and able to accept a support role.
Butler played a support role this past season in Philly. I didn't follow close enough to know how he dealt with it. Unless it affects the games I don't much care what players think.
Anyways, Butler has forced his way out of 2 franchises and is almost surely leaving a good situation in philly. Don’t think he’d ultimately accept a Bosh or Love role.
I think Kemba’s the best option and his 25.8 ppg this year is an outlier from the rest of his career. Plus, he just seems more friendly that Irving and Butler.
mantis. Butler is reportedly opting t test the free agent market. That doesn't mean he won't re-sign with Philly though. Philly can give him 188 million over 5 years. Nobody else can offer more than 143 million over 4 years. Where would he have a better situation than with The Sixers ?
Where might he go ?
he could still win in philly though, it did take a game 7 buzzer beater for the nba champs to our them
but maybe his dad played there. He is going to be in Space Jam 2. He’d be perfect fit.
But unlikely because he fits perfect as a Warrior.
The Sixers still have room to grow without adding anybody. Just re-sign their 2 free agents. Simmons and Embiid are still pups. Next year could be their time .If Toronto loses Leonard they will drop back. Boston seems stalled. That would leave The Bucks and Sixers as the cream of The East.
More likely that NO won’t win a title with Lonzo.
Getting the prince clown jerk of a father out of their hair was reason enough for The Lakers to move Lonzo. I suspect Lavar might have something to do with Magic deciding he didn't need that shiit in his life.
Pels were right to sit tight and not make the trade in the middle of the season. They maintained leverage and their leverage grew even more with injuries decimating GSW. The West became wide open and there was lots of pressure from Lebron & Co to make this deal happen now.
Durant ha already moved his offices to NYC and I'd expect him to be a Brooklyn Net sooner rather than later. He no longer trusts GSW as his injury was publicly misdiagnosed as a calf when there were concerns about the achilles the entire time. His camp is upset that GSW didn't immediately rule him out, thus forcing external pressure for him to play, for the sake of making Toronto have to prepare for his comeback.
Lakers will target Jimmy Butler, Kemba Walker and/or Tobias Harris. AD needs to waive a trade exception to allow them to get back under the cap to get another max guy but they will get creative to make this happen.
DGDinNYC. Something really odd about Durant's injury supposedly being misdiagnosed. I was driving and listening to a couple of sport radio jocks the day before game 6. One of them said something about the calf injury, then he said ''wink, wink'' and followed it up by saying it was the worst kept secret that Durant really had an achilles injury. They went on to say that GS management knew it...WOW. I Don't see how they could have just guessed right.
