    Brace yourself and prepare. Whether it’s morey, harden, or our cap space (CP3-trade), or CP.

    Prepare for a lot of us to be salty about players going to to L.A for the clippers and lakers MAX & pay cuts.

    We can vent in here.

    Y’all really getting y’all hopes up. L.A teams have cap space. It will be the move this free agency.

    Props to the Clippers for overachieving last year, but we pretty much know Bev, who was the heart and soul of that team, is not returning. Who else? Who is dying to play for Doc, who was on the hot seat before the season started? And let's not forget the Lakers with big bad Lebron won two more games last year than the year before. AD is a boost, but who's facing off against Steph & Klay or Harden/Paul? And if I'm a superstar do I want to play under Lebron at this point in his career... and work for a former Playboy model and her best friend Linda?

    One good thing is the separate needs of Lakers vs Rockets.
    Lakers would be front line heavy needing guards.
    AD
    LeBron
    KAWHI

    ROCKETS
    CP3
    Harden
    Butler
    Need pf and c
    Rockets can offer starter minutes at PF and C. As far as bench Lakers will have the advantage.

    I can dig this. KD is gone for next year so this would allow the West to stay wide open if they went to the Clippers.

    Yep that would be better than khawi going to the lakers

    Just sucks because when we had cap room we couldn’t even get a sit down with him and harden.

    KD in NYK could turn out to be Amare 2.0

    I would be ecstatic to have both of them out east. Dismantles GSW and weakens LA at the same time.

    This is our window. We direly need another star while JH is still in his prime. Bring us Butler, Daryl, and fill out the rest of the roster like you've always done.

    Looking like another wasted off season. Every free agent is talking with somebody and seems to have meetings set up while we are over here cooking up some impossible 3 team trade for butler when there has been 0 mention of him wanting to opt in.

    woj reported Kawhi and KD are talking about joining up on Clippers.

    I thought it was bullshit that Kawhi would leave the Raptors until he started taking so many meetings with Western teams. It just seems fishy.

    And I wouldn't put it past KD to join another superteam, especially if Jerry West is in their leadership.

    Now Bev is meeting with the Lakers... I think I'm going to be sick. :(

    I told y’all, LA will be the move....

    Once again guys, BRACE YOURSELF and prepare....

    It was easy to call, have any of y’all never been to the bay, LA, or San deigo.

    When these teams got cap space it was time.
