Lebron took last year off waiting for this to happen.

I’ll take a 35, 36, 37 year old Lebron who plays 60 games acting as a facilitator with Kawhi and AD gaining workload as he ages just like Kareem did and Magic/Worthy took more and more as Kareem was aging

And to discuss 1st option/2nd option/3rd option is irrelevant, they understand what lower usage means and they are willing to sacrifice to win clearly if this all happens

Lebron to me would probably take biggest hit statistically and as Lebron ages he can easily play at insanely high level at a different role. The biggest issue is whether he can increase his effort again t be a great defender like he used to be

Money is irrelevant in the NBA when it comes to these deals now a days.

When you got guys like Middleton, Rosier, and Brogdon getting the numbers they get a guy like Tobias is penciled in for ridiculous money.

This comes out after KD announces he's going to Brooklyn :lol:
The Knicks and owner Jim Dolan were not prepared to offer Kevin Durant a full max contract due to concerns over his recovery from the Achilles injury, league sources tell me and @wojespn. Knicks officials are in Los Angeles tonight, meeting with free agents such as Julius Randle
The Knicks are such a trainwreck. Near $70 mil in cap space I think, and no star wants to go there.

They'll probably do something stupid like max out Randle and Boogie for $100mil each.

Aaaaaaaand now they just gave Julius Randle $63million to add to it.

If they didn’t get KD or Kawhi I think getting nobody is probably best play

Only other dudes I would have wanted would have been Brogdon or Randle at 20 or less

Randle to the Knicks, 3 years $63 mil.

Not the $100mil, but not a very good contract at all.

Not great but It’s not a terrible deal. 3 years makes it very bearable.

Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes There's a possibility Kevin Durant will engage in a sign-and-trade swap with Golden State and Brooklyn, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.
If that were to work out, it would likely mean D-Lo to the Warriors.

GS isn’t that dumb

Russell is garbage

Edit: i guess it wouldn’t matter since they would be so far over cap anyway. It’s better than nothing

Read that of his shots taken, he had a much higher percentage go in then career wise or would be expected... Basically a crazy BABIP year

What's the down low on Richardson, his stats look very pedestrian

amazing for the Raps. Toronto has no cap space minus for Kawhi so this UFA means nothing. Lakers and Clippers cant sit around and watch every UFA sign.
