NBA salaries are insane. Actually, almost all pro-sports contracts are ridiculous, but geez. 

 

Imagine how many teachers could be hired for nearly 40m a year. 

 

NBA players for the most part earn their paychecks.  MLB players on the other hand *cough* Chris Davis *cough*

The Spurs won't get more than what the Lakers will offer. If y'all don't want Brandon Ingram, that's on you. You can't let Leonard walk without getting assets in return. Not sure what you guys think the Spurs will otherwise get. 

 

None of the Lakers players are worth rebuilding around.  Ingram is an ectomorph who hasn't come close to living up to his draft slot.  Guys with high ceilings show more than he has in their first two years, like Donovan Mitchell and Devin Booker have done.  The Lakers probably need to acquire more assets to package along with Ingram in order to entice the Spurs to pull the trigger.  Otherwise San Antonio is better off calling Kawhi's bluff and offering him the DPVE or holding out for better offers from another team willing to gamble on keeping him like OKC did with Paul George.

Kinda disappointed Lance Stephenson is playing with LeBron now. His level of troll will be missed

 

I'm not so sure. He runs a tight ship. Lance and Javale by themselves is enough questionable basketball decision making for an entire team.

 

I can easily See LeBron going off on Lance because he didn't rotate on a posession, and Lance dropping down and doing some Major Payne punishment pushups, mocking him.

Brandon Ingram is only 20, has the same body type of KD and is more efficient than Mitchell or Booker. San Antonio would be dumb to call Leonard’s bluff given how the landscape of the NBA and stars moving around has changed. 

Maybe a team gambles or a team like Toronto makes an offer to go for it in the East. Maybe Boston decides to roll the dice.

He's not more efficient than them.  He's got a career 11 PER, Mitchell's is 16.7, Booker's is 14.7.  Both have higher VORPs too.  Ingram's is -.7, Mitchell's is 2.1, and Booker's is .4.  He's not as good as them.  If he was, I suspect Kawhi Leonard would already be in LA.

 

Ingram's body is totally devoid of strength.  Durant was thin, but he has always had the strength to play in the league.  Plus he was about a thousand times better than Ingram.  Everyone knew immediately that KD was transcendent.

I wonder if the Cavs are looking to move Kevin Love?

 

I am skeptical that they can get good value in return for dealing him.

C's starting 5 for 2018: Best 5 across talent in league by far

 

back court: Irving, Leonard

Forwards: Tatum PF, Hayward SF

C: Horford

 

Bench... Insanely talented with Rozier, Baynes, Smart (very possible resign once Leonard trade done), Theis
