People thought PG was 100% headed to LA after last year too. Toronto got a top 5 player in the league without giving up OG or Siakam, got Danny Green to boot, and got out from DDR's contract which was...not great.

A top 5 player if he actually plays and if he's fully healed from whatever vagina tear ailed him last year.

That's a pretty big assumption.

His injury, I believe, is a degenerative one. He’s been dealing with it for years. Who knows if he’ll be what he was in ‘16-‘17 though.

Hope the best for him, but what a fucking little bitch he’s been about this whole process. I’m all about the players and their ability to have control but damn he really could have handled this slightly better. Lol. Fuck his “camp” in particular. Gonna miss his defense and smooth midrange game tho

Who cares? They got rid of DeRozen contract and gave up nothing for the chance that Kawhi plays for them. Also EVERYONE said Paul George was for sure going to Lakers and OKC had no chance.

Genius by Toronto. Get out of bad future money and just roll the dice. Now they're up with Celts/Tankers in East if Kawhi decides he wants to play basketball.

I don't think the DeRozan contract is that bad. It has three years left at $28 mil per year for a 28 year old who just made the All NBA 2nd-team and was 8th overall in MVP voting. I think Lowry's and Ibaka's contracts are more problematic.

Yeah but trading him allows them to maneuver a lot more should Leonard never play for them or leave after a year. I mean it's pretty much set in stone with the way the Raptors were constructed they couldn't make moves and wouldn't do shit in the playoffs. They needed to shuffle the deck.

Couldn't Shroder be deported tho? So in that case his entire contract is voided... Will presti start funding the prosecution?

Hawks should’ve asked for two firsts if the Rhubarb flame out in the first round and RUSS chucks more than 35 shots a game in the series next year

Idk man... anything really. Theyre saving $50m or something. If they stretched him too it wouldve pushed then into the tax in the future.

If they just took him for cap room then yeah. Schroder was just about impossible to move with his salary/effort/legal trouble and OKC could only give up that first rounder because their 2020 first rounder is already traded.

But if you're deported does that void the contract? Gilbert got paid IIRC so the felony doesn't matter

There is a CBA clause that could allow them to attempt it but it’s unlikely. I did read that if the league suspends the player then only half his salary counts.
