Yeah, but that team that got swept by LeBron was pretty much a championship team missing one really good player. It validates everything Masai, the analytics...

[LJ2]

I expect to surpass what the Mavs have done since their championship year, this season....

[LJ2]

So iso scoring is important for an offense. Hope Siakam is ready for it.

I can see a few comical moments coming this season when the ball...

[LJ2]

I wouldn't mind if the Clippers weren't as accommodating with load management, the media and fans slander him when he doesn't play big games during the...

[LJ2]

Spoken like a player coming off a single season of true success. Let's see where his mindset is at after another year of coming up short....

[LJ2]

I like Beal as well, but trading for Beal feels like a win now move with no hope of winning a championship. I would rather they build up their assets,...

[LJ2]

I think those are the two teams that are going to make the biggest moves up in seeding, in the East. Both had top defenses last season and just improved...

[LJ2]

I have a hard time seeing him as a max contract player. I mean he looked great next to Kawhi, but I don't see him as "the man" on his own team....yet....

[LJ2]

Any word on if they are going to offer Siakam and extension? What sort of $$ is he going to command in free agency?

[LJ2]

Adams is like a younger Serge. He's got a bigger contract though, can't shoot 3's and Serge put up similar numbers in the playoffs in about 10 less minutes....

[LJ2]

I think Masai would rather have the cap space unless a trade comes that gets us to the finals again....

[LJ2]

Surprise, surprise, uncle Dennis isn't a genuine, nice fella.

Has any of what has now transpired with Kawhi changed peoples minds about what...

[LJ2]

It is gross, but there would be a couple years of contention prior to that. If you want your team to be synonymous with winning championships then money...

[LJ2]

Winning couldn't sway Kawhi to stay, so I doubt losing will get him to leave....

[LJ2]

Funny thing is, if Westbrook was a free agent we may actually have had a really good chance to acquire him. In his mind he's as good as Kawhi and probably...

[LJ2]

I agree. OKC probably saw an opportunity to pit two teams fighting for the same free agent against each other, to increase their return for George. Well...

[LJ2]

True, Kawhi may still not have signed, but we would still have had 2 of arguably the top 10-15 players in the league. The point I was trying to make is...

[LJ2]

I wonder what was really on the table between OKC and Toronto. The more I think about it the more I have a hard time believing Masai turned down an offer...

[LJ2]

50 wins might be a bit of a stretch. The eastern conference is loaded with really good, defensive teams, the Raptors among them.

[LJ2]

I'm accounting for Miami getting Russ, so have the Raps down to 6th seed. With our vets I think we'll be a better playoff team than a regular season....
