    All the reports are that Kawhi and Kyrie want there own teams. But how are they going to feel about being bounced in the second round.

    Kawhi isnt getting bounced in the 2nd round actually hes showing that hes capable of dragging an underperforming raptor team to the conference finals and very possible to the finals as well. I dont think hes worried about joining anyone much less Lebron. Either way Lakers cant afford kyrie and kawhi on a team that already has Lebron on a 154 million dollar contract. This isnt 2k with salary cap turned off.

     I didn’t like the kyrie trade when it happened. I haven’t been a fan since he left duke. I would have kept the pick, miles bridges, Kevin Knox, or Michael porter Jr would have been my pick with that 8th pick. Then you trade away jaylen brown, who I’m also not a fan of. But hindsight is 20/20. I never thought I’d feel this way, but everyone should root for the raptors or bucks this year. They have the most humble players. Durant, Harden, ya need to go, people be sick of watching that fake B.S.

     Kyrie MIGHT go to the Lakers..Kawhi I don’t see it..he’s good enough to carry a team to the finals..he’s done it. And dude is hella laid back he doesn’t want all that drama that comes with the Lakers.

    I predict KD to Brooklyn and Kawhi to the Clippers, but Kyrie is such a different cat that I can’t even speculate; nothing would surprise me with that guy.

    I also predict that the Knicks will not get Zion. It’s such a perfect marriage that it’s too perfect, and things have a way of not going the way James Dolan hopes.

    Im gonna make a thread detailing everytime you predicted the Lakers sign a major Free Agent. Funny thing is the one that did happen (LBJ) you never predicted lol. 

    If Kawhi leaves Id like to see him with the Clippers or Mavs. No matter what happens nothing but respect for him with the way hes carried himself this season despite my harsh critisism all year and blatent disrespect.

      What are you talking about?!?!?! I was on the Lebron to LA train years before it happen. I honestly have the best track record for predictions on the whole entire website.

         Really? You just predicted something that can’t be done. They can’t get close to cap space for two max guys. This isn’t an opinion either, its 100% fact. Even getting one guy requires renouncing all their free agents.

        Like explain how they can do what you say given the salary cap?

     Kyrie left Lebron because he wanted to be the man, why would he want to play with him again ?

         I dont think he left to be the man. I think he didnt want to assist the LBJ legacy and become known as the guy Lebron James brought under his wing. Just wanted to get away from the sideshow.

     Depends on what they want now lifestyle or rings?

    Kyrie may have finally relized what LBJ  had to deal with the cavs all those years. Which was motivate role players to be better than they actually are. So he maybe open to a return to a vet team with a familar player and back to his natural role of a 1b) not 1a)..But I could honestly see him in one of the NYK markets 

    Kawhi is hard to fully gauge… As if they make the ECF at least that is a good start. If old lying GM proves he can get Kawhi what he wants in the offseason in terms of players then he may just be like meh I will stay. Why not at least be ECF every year vs blood bath that is out in the WC, which he has done and the only real thing he has left to do in the NBA which is comeout of the EC + win it all. But if the GM Trys to be sly Kawhi could also bounce and say see ya and go to LAC or lakers as both would make sense..
