House Lakers will promote him as the STAR that he is! It's TOTALLY on GS for not banging his bandwagon, continuously, like they do Steph and KD. ESPECIALLY considering KD is an "outsider" you gotta take care of the home team first!! He's thinking this and since they can't offer him more on a super max (that I might add they WEREN'T going to offer him anyway) he's gonna leave. LeBron will treat him special... Would you settle for Beal if they can pull it off? I would love to ship Ingram ass for Beal RIGHT now lol! KD will likely leave and Klay will get his max from the warriors. Word on the skreet is Lebron actively on Kawhi and Jimmy phones... Now if the 3 of THEM team up together holy faking ish that will be the greatest team of ALL TIME!!!!!

I'm still not seeing how Klay got snubbed. Kyrie had a strong year and Russ averaged another triple double. If anything, Russ should've been 2nd team over Kyrie. Klay's numbers are down and they have been since KD showed up. Everyone knows this. You're probably not getting an All-NBA nod when you're the 3rd player on your team. He also had a bad first half. I think Kyrie is questionable. Kemba deserves it. Nah Russ was just BAD last year. Those stats don't mean as much since the "history" has already been made and his efficeicy was DREADFUL! Kyrie was obviously pretty good and all that but his team disappointed and he aint all NBA defensive either. Those extra 2ppg he averaged over Klay shouldn't make that much of a difference. IDK Kemba definitely deserved it though. The ish he's doing alone in Charlotte is other worldly. Gonna be cool to see him balling in a different city with actual NBA talent next year. Jesus Christ, Jordan is DREADFUL! HOw are they so impossibly incompetent?!?

Had an idea... These super-max contracts can be super crippling for teams, especially small market teams who have a star, but not superstar(Durant, Curry, Lebron, etc...). My idea would keep the money the same, but the cap charge is limited to something like $20-25 million if that player has been with you since being drafted.

I don't think Gobert's as valuable as he thinks (and everyone wants you to think) he is.

The Knicks would be fools to trade Mitchell Robinson this early. The other two deals look like the kind of thing that you would send in the fantasy league. Insta-reject!

I feel like this might be the time to unload a future albatross and get back some assets. He is to UTAH. A. He doesn't mind living there and actually likes it. B. His presence guarantees they'll be a .500 team and continue to sell tickets. As a free agent I would die if my Lakers offered him that kind of money but to Utah and a handful of other teams he's definitely worth it.

As a free agent I would die if my Lakers offered him that kind of money but to Utah and a handful of other teams he's definitely worth it. I feel like he won't get them beyond the first round, depending on the matchups. When the Warriors begin to deteriorate, you still have Denver, OKC, Houston, SA. They're a perennial 5-6 seed, bound to get bounced by one of those teams. I just feel that's a lot of money for an average team and he'll be impossible to trade AFTER getting maxed. They have to pay Mitchell, so unless they can swing a deal for a third guy, he's expendable. Think John Wall. I agree nobody wants to go there but getting stuck under 2 max guys who can't get you past the first round seems counterintuitive.

Despite the fact that his negotiations for the Lakers’ head coaching job fell through, former Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue continues to draw interest around the NBA. The Rockets and Pelicans have pursued Lue as a potential lead assistant, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Top high school recruit R.J. Hampton has elected to forgo college for the 2019/20 season and will instead join the New Zealand Breakers of the NBL, he confirmed today in an appearance on ESPN’s Get Up.
“My number one goal is to play in the NBA,” Hampton told ESPN. “I wanted to be an NBA player before I ever wanted to be a college player. This is about getting ready for the next level faster and more efficiently.

And so the perception existed among the Lakers’ coaching staff that Paul sought to oust Walton. And some players also believed, according to coaching staff members and those players’ agents, that Klutch Sports was working to trade them away for a superstar. Given those perceptions, one former Lakers player described Paul’s presence on the team charter as a “culture killer.” “Coaches know Rich is trying to get them fired, and players know Rich is trying to get them traded,” said one agent with ties to the Lakers, who called Paul’s presence on the plane “destructive.” – via ESPN
