In reply to Frank.

do they have the room exception left?

They do, but legit rim protection guys tend not to still be available at this point in the offseason, right? I mean, I guess they could get an ancient Tyson Chandler…

Wait can someone explain all the Russ hate? I get that he’s starting to decline but he’s still a very good player who should outplay his contract. Why wouldn’t the Knicks want him?

Man, what a haul for Presti.
Man, the Clips are going to be plenty interesting. Good luck scoring on those 3 perimeter defenders. If they can find any rim protection at all (do they have the room exception left?)…

I mean, one of the picks the Clippers used to get George was a pick that they literally just got this offseason by renting out cap room!

Our GM doesn’t look so silly now with all this flexibility/picks/young players…. just sit chilly…..

They’d have flexibility, more picks and the same amount of young players if they had just rented their cap space. So, I’m sticking with them still looking silly (which, as everyone else has corrected noted, is still a step up from looking like complete morons like during Phil’s era).

Five 1sts for Kawhi, PG, & a legit shot at the title. LAC got to feel good after going the distance with GS then adding these two. But, DAMN!!

Jerry West is the joint.

But the Laker are royally fucked now with a declining LeBron forced to play big minutes for a thin team with no way to get better.

AD ain’t sticking around for that shit show….. hello AD…. hello Giannis 🙂

Pat Beverley, Paul George, and Kawai is a great trio of defenders. That’s prety scary

1) we’re so trading for Russ. Luckily there’s an inbuilt cooking off period as pretty sure we can’t match salaries now until we can trade the new guys…

2) 4 unprotected 1rps, a protected 1rp, 2 swaps and a great young prospect, plus an expiring? That is a phenomenal get for OKC

Kawhi Leonard: Fun Guy

Russell Westbrook: Not-as-fun Guy.

I can’t see the same Knicks front office who only believed Kawhi and KD were worth the max as a front office that would trade real assets for Russell Westbrook. You know who I could see doing that? The Miami Heat.
