    If I'm LeBron, I'm looking a little side eyed but that's about it. This is worse than PG not giving the Lakers a meeting after forcing his way out of Indy FOR LA lol.

      Kyrie threatened to have surgery. Kawhi isn’t having surgery lol. If what everyone here is saying is true under the new CBA he can’t not play and still become a feee agent because he would be breaching his contract.

        I'm sure DMC will confirm it here soon enough but I have a hard time believing it was NO offers....more like him not hearing what he wanted to hear and subsequently giving the league the finger.....which I dont blame him for...

          I have a SEVERELY hard time believing he didn't have any offers. You don't think New Orleans wanted to bring back AD's boy?

              Dwight probably going to Golden State. JCrossover too. Wouldn’t surprise me a bit.

                The other thing is I’m not sure he would’ve moved the needle for us as far if the team as a whole got better and if he would be a good fit in our locker room with our culture. So I can’t really fault Marks for not going after him knowing our situation where realistically we’re still a few years away.

                I can’t speak for the other teams that had cap space though that passed on him though.
                Even with where you guys are you have to make the call. As someone mentioned, why not get him in your building, see if he buys into your culture and your plan for the future. It's a one year rental that costs you practically nothing. If he stinks or it doesn't work out, it only cost you a few dollars and he's gone at the end of the year anyway. Hell if he looked back to normal but was just a headache in your locker room, you could flip him for something decent at the deadline to a contender who might take a chance on trying to convince him to stay with them in the offseason. This was honestly a win/win for teams and they didn't try. It sounds like all he wanted was to feel wanted so he might have signed for cheap for anybody had teams actually tried and the money was consistently low everywhere.

                I can guarantee you GarPax was one of the morons who didn't want him. They still hate headbands around these parts.

                    I wanted him on LeBrons team so much. How much fun would that be. LeBron recruits Currys own brother to go against him. Not like NBA needs more drama, but that would've been WWE style storyline.




                    Cousins on GS now...Serious question, could this Warriors team beat their own regular season record?

                        Well he said it himself and Marc Spears repeated what he told him on Sportscenter, so teams can either come right out and call him on that or leak it through the media like they do everything else. Either way, disputing what he said isn't difficult at all for them and they've not done it thus far and it makes all of them look stupid as **** so I'd hope they'd try to speak up for their reps if he's lying.

                              I think I've figured it out!


                              LeBron went to LA because he's filming Space Jam 2.


                              HOWEVER, the twist in the movie....

                                Just saw this after I posted.

                                I feel that's a bit different from NO offers and leads me to believe it was more like what I originally said....20180702_233856.jpg
