    Like I said, people in LA (and I don't mean message board fans) are taking it seriously.

    I was told Lebron was "throwing his chance at ever winning again away" if he went to Los Angeles!

    KD will sign a 5 year deal next summer with GS where he will enter the season at 31 years old.

    Kawhi doesn't want to play w Lebron and neither does Jimmy, Kyrie, or any notable superstar free agent to be.


    NO won't trade AD. Yes, Lebron very well may have thrown out a chance to win a championship imo. He's gonna be 35, 36 years old before he knows it waiting for a superstar.

    I’d love for KD to go to a place like NY and Kawhi to stay in Toronto...East needs to replenish the star power that they’ve lost, and the Celtics, Sixers, and Knicks all being relevant at the same time and the Raptors with a superstar like Kawhi would be great

    IIRC the statement was to the effect that LBJ had thrown away all championship aspirations by signing in La La Land.

    He makes them relevant now and fearsome soon enough, like by next season.

    KD is a stoner. He isn't leaving Cali

    The band isn't breaking up in GS; they're going to pay Klay and Green.

    Tolliver signed a contract July 8th, 2018 so he can't be traded for a while too. Not sure why anyone would say that.

    This @Nook report completely corroborates what @Codman has been saying in regards to the Rockets being willing to "get in" on a Butler trade to get back "parts (rotation pieces)" if not Butler.

    I guess Rockets could be targeting Tyus or Taj? Seems sort of crowded unless they trade Knight but can't see who would want him, and we don't want to give draft picks up for either those 2

    Regarding that same post, Nook mentioned "NJ (at the time)". I wanted to ask him if he meant Brooklyn? Or has my coffee not kicked in?

    I think he did mean Brooklyn. They have a lot of parts on their team.

    I heard from sources (Cyberx) that the Rockets have eyes on Jimmy Butler.

    It's clear now, if the Rockets are able to make a move involving Butler it will not be until October 31. Chriss doesn't appear to have a place on this team and his expiring contract will come in handy if that remains true.

    If it ends in a "k", I'll read it I say! Ends in a "o", it's trash you should know.
