LeBron ain't retiring anytime soon he'll die before he does tbh. I give him another 8 years or so.
I'll give him 3-4 more years before his body starts to finally wear out.

I might give Bron 8 years but 4-5 at the most of being the kind of force we're accustomed to him being. Westbrook? Man, idk. If next year was his last "great" year, I wouldn't be surprised but either way he's rarely ever lived up to being the caliber of player that the stat sheet would suggest.

not a good trade for the lakers imo. not sure what the point is having Westbrook and LeBron on the same team. LeBron is their best shooter :laff

Can’t wait for the inevitable picture of LeBron yelling at Russ for shooting instead of passing

Kawhi Leonard just had ACL surgery, and reportedly is now turning down a $36 million option with the Clippers.

He just might be saying no right now that doesn't mean he's leaving the Clippers though obviously he wants a bigger deal long term from the Clippers. He does go to FA now and I'm sure people see that number and see we have to be higher than that.

It's going to be nuts. I'm expect a orgy of Offers being dished out for sure.

So many signings today like I thought it would go. Lonzo to The Bulls okay helps their team but The Bulls are ways away from competing in The East. For sure the big one today is Lowry to The Heat makes them dangerous unless Bam Bam and Butler step up a level more next Season they ain't getting past the Sixers or Bucks or even The Hawks. Happy that my Sixers resigned Korkmaz back sometimes a streaky shooter but when he's on he's a top 20 Shooter from Three I feel.
