Canada was always a better country than America. Canada is super America.

 

[junglejim]

Thats a pretty good deal for the Celtics. Smart is the type of guy you hate to play against but love to have on your team.

 

[anomolie]

Toronto as a city is better than at least 80% (and probable higher, i went conservative) of america doh... and Canada stuntin on the US right now as a country

I visited there awhile ago. I totally agree

[lovehateself]

i didnt mean to start a canada> usa conversation

sorry for derailing

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Thread jumped like crazy over night.
Spurs got a good package for kawhi. Toronto got fd tho.

Us ain't the greatest. Ain't even proud to be born here.

 

[Mark Antony]

Gave that boy the option of getting his head chopped off or taking the black for deserting his post.

 

[lamekilla]

Kevin Love is better than DeMar Derozen

 

[DLF]

It’s obvious tortonto don’t care if they lose kAwhi in off season. They wanted to get rid of derozen contract. Next summer I expect them to trade Lowry, let kawhi walk or do sign and trade for picks and tank. Writings on the wall folks

Raptors front office need to know everything that glitters ain’t gold.

Also derozan need to get outta his feels... didn’t sign a no trade clause so why you so hurt

 

[trynafeelmink]

None of these guys that are going to be FAs next year are signing extensions because the cap is going up next year and they'd be leaving money on the table. It's really that simple. Applies to every single one of them.

I'm aware of the extension thing, The fact that Jimmy butler is aiming this directly at the young players on the roster (KAT to be more specific) The wolves might wanna think about shopping him. They are definitely not in a position to let him walk

Cavaliers Waive Veteran Center Kendrick Perkins

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/24123368/cleveland-cavaliers-waive-veteran-kendrick-perkins

The Cleveland Cavaliers have waived veteran center Kendrick Perkins, the team announced Tuesday.

Perkins was signed by the team on the final day of the regular season and did not play a single minute in the 2018 postseason.

Boston Celtics in 2008 and was part of three other Finals teams in Boston, Oklahoma City and Cleveland.

His last NBA action before this season came during the 2015-16 season, when he averaged 2.8 points and 3.5 rebounds for the New Orleans Pelicans in 37 games.

The Cavs added Perkins more for the veteran leadership he could provide to the Cavs' locker room and less for his on-court contributions, league sources told ESPN in April.

[getback]

Smart

 

[bostoiah]

That’s really fair. Get it done Danny

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Toronto is better than Philly if Kawhi is healthy and engaged.

What's the actual chance of him being either tho?

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Smart getting a deal from Boston. Boston stacked af. No one in the east is close if they at full strength. 2nd best team in the L and will give the warriors a run for they money , if not just outright beat them.
