I just need to know where the next private party is going to be. I hear Bron/AD/Kawhi like to get white girl wasted.

Another one:

quote:

Being that I'm a multi-millionaire, and all I do is play basketball, I would have had my people map out the best plan of action for me months ago, and when the season ended, I would have my team present to me the fruits of all of their work the prior several months. All of the backdoor conversations, the intel-gathering on my target teams, everything I need to know about the team owners, the management, the players, so forth, and I would have an expert chart the most efficient route I needed to take to better my opportunities. I would have had my decision completed as soon as free-agency started, and I would have demanded my targetted team gather the best supporting cast around me from the pool of available talent. I would have done the same thing as my brethren; Durant, Kyrie, Kimba, Klay, Jimmy, all of them. I would NOT be some bumbling, undecisive, weak-minded man who is showing the world I have no clue as to how to run my affairs, and showing the teams that covet me that I care NOTHING about them, and they exist to service be because I'm all that and a bag of chips. There is NO defending Mr. Kawhi Leonard. Keep his arse in Canada, I don't want him on my Lakers.


quote:

Truth... Screw him. I could never root for him going forward. Just say yes or no. Simple as that. There are people in the workforce who make these types of decisions with infinitely less resources (finances and people) available for them. There are single parents changing careers; traveling across the country and kids leaving home (broke with a degree) to establish themselves. But Kawhi can't decide where he wants to play basketball for a living after 24 months of thinking about it? He's forever on my crap list.


Yeah this is how we were about the AD thing.

You have people in the Pels fanbase hoping AD’s knee gets shot. A very small contingent, but still. Don’t act like you were a bunch of saints with AD.

What I find weird is that the lakers and clippers haven't conceded. Like you'd think after yesterday theyd be moving on since it really looks like hes staying but both are like nah, we will wait

The way free agency has dried up, there's really no longer any reason for them to look elsewhere, they may as well put all their chips in the Kawhi basket.


Also, nothing really happened yesterday that we didn't already know was going to happen for like 3 days.

We might know Kawhi's decision by July 12th but it's no lock.

The lakers will lose cap space if we dont use it by the trade execution. We have to make some moves by then

That reads exactly like pels talk after AD made his demand



Except Pels fans were talking about a guy who demanded a trade off of their team and Lakers are pouting that someone could possibly not want to sign with them and would want to RE-SIGN with their team they just won a championship.

There is a difference to fans thinking they are entitled to their assets and Lakers fans thinking they are entitled to everyone else's assets.

Free agents aren't anyone's asset. That's why they're free agents.

I mean, yeah.

You've got a post calling him weak-minded (Pels fans have been calling AD a "beta" since he asked for the trade) and another post basically saying screw him if he doesn't want to play for us (every Pels fan since he asked for the trade).

And? It would benefit the Pelicans if this happens. I’ve never understood the “beat them at full strength” type view points either. Who cares if the other team’s star is hurt? A win is a win.

A large amount of Pelicans fans were calling him a beta long before he demanded a trade.
