Jimmy is a dog. He wants to do it his own way.
So you are confirming he emphatically did not want to go play with James?

Obviously, not something the Lakers can pitch as it will he LeBron-AD-Kawhi and scrubs. Those three will really have to carry the load. There won’t be a Draymond and Iggy to lean on for depth.


What?

The Lakers will be able to load manage him just fine. If they gave each of them 15 games off, about half the games only 2/3 of the Big 3 would play and they'd still make the playoffs with ease.

They're going to get some servicable players on minimum contracts, not scrubs.

The Mavericks have traded for Miami's Goran Dragic, multiple sources confirm. Dragic is the only other Slovenian in the league, and was roommates with Luka Doncic during Slovenia's 2017 EuroBasket run.

I think you are severely underestimating what it means to have two of lebron/AD/kawhi in your lineup any given night. The team would easily make the playoffs and probably win anywhere between 50 to 55 games

It wouldn't be an issue. At all

I may very well be proven wrong here, but that is going to be difficult in this free agent market.

I think you are really overestimating the supporting cast that will be around those three. Kuzma is a good role player but there wouldn’t be much after him.


I guess we'll have to wait and see who they get. How can you discount them before we even know who they end up getting?

If they'll have such scrubs around them, then I guess that's better for the rest of the league. Not so unfair after all.

The Mavericks are creating a white arse team. I can't wait to watch those European honkies.

In unrelated news: there has been an odd uptick in jump suit sales in Dallas

I feel confident in that assumption because it’s going to be league minimum guys.

Or James harden WBB.

You explicitly mentioned several times jimmy butler wanted to take less money to play with harden. Yet here we are.

Meanwhile Anthony Davis gave up over $100 million to play with Lebron.

I dont feel like we have properly processed the fact that the Knicks outright apologized to the fanbase 4 hours into free agency

Well great. I guess that's good for the rest of the league then. People shouldn't complain how it'd be so unfair.
