So it sounds like Durant left town because of the truth:
But perhaps it would have helped the Warriors’ cause if their fans showed more love and appreciation for Durant’s elite achievements. Instead, there was a perception that the world’s most talented basketball player just jumped onto the championship bandwagon.

I’m not sure what the warriors are doing. I know KD would have been lost cap if he left but maybe they are just acquiring a tradable asset but Russell isn’t much of a fit going forward.
One thus his is for sure, they have an owner that doesn’t mind spending.

I see that one of the rumored moves that the Lakers have made is offering Rondo a vet min contact and 24 hours to decide. If I'm Masai, I offer Rondo a vet min contract (no time limit on the decision), not just to mess with the Lakers, but also because he'd be an inexpensive high-quality stopgap if Danny Green goes to the Mavs and FVV plays more minutes as a result.

The russell to GSW is a huge surprise..,brilliant move as well. Russell should help keep GSW in the race until klay comes back. And when klay returns Russell is a great trade chip to help rebuild the depth they had before acquiring durant.

Except.. Rondo is known as a stat (assist) hunting guard who wants the ball in his hands as much as possible, and perceived as a bit of a malcontent in the lockerroom.

In regards to Philly/Miami, a lot of teams have already spent their cap, so if Dallas can't get a deal made with Miami there could going to be some interesting bargaining happening with the Clippers or Lakers there (though both those teams may demur in the hopes of Butler popping free if the deal breaks down, and becoming a nice consolation prize in the event they don't sign Kawhi). And the other ongoing signings mean that the Lakers are also going to find themselves under increasing pressure to get a headstart on filling out the rest of their roster with vet minimum signings.
Personally, if I'm the Lakers, I'm weighing the pros and cons of bringing in Dragic from Miami, which is not a Butler-level signing but leaves them some cap to help them not be so top-heavy (and possibly gives them a chance to bring in some draft picks to replace the ones the Pelicans were sent). It would be a serious star-power disappointment weighed against either Kawhi or Butler, but it might actually result in a better team overall over the next two seasons depending on what their other moves were.
