GSW has made a standing offer for Leonard. There are other rumors out but those are just rumors. If someone like Macri says it, it's a dart thrown in the dark. If I say it, then that's that. There were some phantom rumors released about Paul George but there's still some bizarre deep **** between Steph Curry's brother and PG13. George is kind a rough locker room fit for a lot of teams. If the GSW can get Leonard, odds on they will be the favorites to sign PJ Tucker at a bargain rate.
The Lakers just don't have the fit/pieces to make it work. OKC has entered the mix because they'd like to chase Talen Horton Tucker in exchange for some picks but there is just not much of a viable pathway. Kerr likes Alex Caruso a ton but I don't how the money would work.
A lot hedges on what happens with the TWolves pick.
Zero chance Leonard ends up on the Knicks. Paul George is, however, another story.
Ballmer is pretty pissed off here. Promises were made by the league and then Joe Tsai bought the Nets and NBA China is just worth too much money to the league administration compared to old verbal agreements. While I don't think Tilman Fertitta is good for any professional sport, there's internal pressure to railroad him. The complexion of league ownership has shifted. Gail Miller used to keep things civil but now it's just open Game Of Thrones at this point.
I'm not quite sure what to make of the 76ers, if Leonard had to go somewhere on a one year deal, that would be the best spot from a purely basketball standpoint to be honest. But if Morey is there the the league and Silver is committed to ****ing them over.
It's the NBA brought to you by the CCP!
You guys might want to start talking about Paul George. He won't come cheap. And lots of guys actually don't want to play with him.
I don't want PGeorge. Every team he plays for has been a big loser. So that's probably what he is himself
