Man, the city is lit as I've seen. Everyone still hyped over the Raptors win.

I hope they win it all.
 


Will RJ play in the tournament?

TBH it may be best if he doesn't get influenced by AWiggins...
 
Remember people wrote off Toronto if Kawhi leaves?

There's no way that will happen with Masai Ujiri. Guys like Siakam and Anunoby would be our best players. No need to tank to find these players either. They picked better players at 23 than we did at 8.

Vanvleet, G League player who locked up Curry.

Norman Powell 2nd rounder, Siakam 2nd rounder.

While I totally agree with u on Ujiri being the real deal, I think you're underestimating what a blow Kawhi leaving would be to that team. Marc Gasol is 34. Lowry is 33. Siakam will likely win 6th man of the year this year. It's yet to be seen how he'll look when defenses don't focus on Kawhi and Lowry. And Anunoby just averaged 7pts and 3rebs in his 2nd year in the NBA...

And most importantly, it's been heavily rumored Ujiri is leaving after this season, most likely to Washington.
 
I don’t see how Kemba leaves that deal in Charlotte. He’s leaving 80m on the table to come to NY.

I don’t think a lot of these guys are truly open to hearing this stuff out. I think Kawhi is going to LA. Butler back to Philly. Not sure what 4 come to NY/BK to be honest. Could be musical chairs

at least nets learned from the garnett trade and protected the pick...

if both knicks and nets sign 2 max guys that will certainly make things interesting in the area...also be hilarious if neither can sign guys cause they are the knicks and nets

Are you honestly not aware how much the Nets — and the perception of the Nets around the league — have changed since the Boston trade?

At this point, I think Kawhi stays with Toronto. It'll either be LA or Toronto anyway I think. Not sure he'll go to the Knicks or Nets.
 
Nobody cares about the Nets. No free agent worth anything is signing with Brooklyn on purpose, it would be career suicide. It's hilarious that some think Kyrie would sign there

Why?

They'd have a better team than the Knicks.

If you package Kyrie and KD, what is the better group to join?

RJ Barret, Trier, DSJ, Mitch, Knox

LaVert, Dinwiddle, Prince, Allen, Kurucs
 
Durant isn't signing with the Nets.

He's responding the Woj and others trying to link him to the Nets.

Pay attention to the timing. It's Nets related cause he never dismissed any of the rumors about him going to the Knicks for months now. Nets suddenly make a trade and media try to link him to the Nets, then this respond.
I mean this the same guy who hid from the media a whole week after Porzingis was traded. The when he decided to talk said he don't know who Porzingis is.

Durant's agent Rick Kleiman, deleted a tweet last night that read "try to keep up". Most seem to think that it was a response to the Nets trade.

That short video from the all star break of what looks to be Irving trying to convince Durant of something, now makes sense. Durant was not buying what he was selling.


Nets: Irving/Butler or Harris
Knicks: Durant/Kawhi or Durant/Davis Outside chance of all three.
