Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

[rolaholic]

Fully expecting Kawhi to be back in MVP shape,can't see him writing off back to back seasons in the middle of his prime

 

[junglejim]

Magic couldn't get Kawhi, Paul George, and lost Julius Randle. Oof.

But the Lakers signed your GOAT though

Not only do I have respect for myself, I have respect for the game of Basketball. This is why i've decided to devote my NT life to preaching the good word about the GOAT, Lebron James.

Have a blessed day.

couldnt or didnt want to give up what their teams asked for?

Who should feel more concerned if Smart re-signs; Kyrie or Rozier

 

[MVP]

What did VC do?

Intentionally half *** play in order to force his way out of Toronto and eventually to the Nets. If Kawhi really has no desire to play for them but has to report, he could employ a similar tactic.

Look at the splits between Toronto and New Jersey for the 2004-2005 season.

Always felt like Rozier is the odd man out. I rather have him than Smart but he’s good enough to be a starter and will be too expensive for the Celtics

So Celtics fans gonna act happy that Smart getting that contract extension after they were fine letting him walk a week ago

I don't know why they wouldn't. Thats a relatively team friendly contract for a solid role player. They needed someone to help guard the opposing teams best back court player with Kyrie back there.

Dude just needs to learns to shoot and make better decisions, but thats a pretty good contract for the Celtics.

Just let me attempt to make unsolicited jabs at the celtics

Still got the biggest fish of all

Serious question for the lakers’ fans in this thread but all things being equal and say kawhi was a FA..if you could only sign one: would you have preferred bron or kawhi this off season?

Who said they were fine with him leaving?

 

[mr jordan04]

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

They also preferred BGH over Big Russ too

Literally every Celtics fan I know IRL

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Trade only makes sense if Kawhi stays. Otherwise you cleared all that cap when nobody's gonna sign there anyway and you're in the draft looking for a player as good as DeRozan for the next 10 years

They should draw up a clause in his contract that rewards him for taking <4 threes per game.

Receipts?

I was fine letting him walk if it’s too expensive. This deal is fair for what he brings

Got that lifetime bag

Lol not I.
