Ravens Ring of Honor
Dom McRaven said:
The timing of the trade hurt them as well in regards to the hopes of signing a third big-time player as mentioned in the link below:

Looks like Pelinka got that fixed, he is starting to act like a good GM


That being said, as a LAKERS fan, I am not sure how I feel about Leonard coming to LA to play with James and AD.

The thought of that is insane. These last 10 years of basketball has shown me just how smart/soft these players are.

LOL. Kevin Durant said he wants to play with Kawhi Leonard. “If you can’t beat em, join em.”

KD is going to be remembered by history as the softest superstar of all time

IT'S crazy the hate KD gets but Bron gets a pass from most. Kawhi actually beat him AFTER he had assembled his first super team.

He just crippled 2 franchises to team up with to other great players. Wade was top 5 and Bosh was top a player at his position.

Dont let that return to Cleveland fool you into thinking he did it to get then a chip or unfinished business. He left cause he thought the Heat were going to fall apart and saw a great out in Cleveland.

The Cavs when he got there the second time were abysmal and the Heat the first time was the Dwyane Wade show and nothing more. He gets to both of them, takes each of them to four consecutive finals appearances, and wins both of them rings.

Yeah the way he did it was shitty, but both of those teams got rings, and I can guarantee you if either franchise had to do it again, they would. You’re salty because you’re a Knicks fan and Lebron routinely owned them. He didn’t cripple the entire east though. The big 3 miami was beatable at full health(every finals series against the Thunder was close every game until game 5). They had to work for those rings they got.

KD.... Joined a team coming off to back to back NBA finals appearances because they beat him down 3-1..... He took a sport with terrible parity already due to a bad commissioner and turned the Warriors into a team that was literally unbeatable at full health. If KD is healthy for this most recent series, they sweep. They would’ve taken it to game 7and possibly have won it all if Klay doesn’t go down too.

Not defending Lebron. He’s an ass.

Lebron ruined two teams, KD ruined a whole league. There’s a difference.

Folks, there's one Twitter account to pay attention to as free agency looms: https://twitter.com/In_the_know__

First of all, peep the pinned tweet. Second, this individual seems to have a pretty good track record regarding predictions. I'll share a couple of examples:

Were any of you aware of the recent news that Porzingis plans on signing a long-term extension with the Mavs? Well he/she predicted that a month ago by this tweet: https://twitter.com/In_the_know__/status/1131235951861067779

What about that recent Mike Conley trade to the Jazz? Again, peep the date. https://twitter.com/In_the_know__/status/1130714329341472769

The following tweet is a list of guarantees so this something to bookmark/keep track of this offseason: https://twitter.com/In_the_know__/status/1144740792763727872

If this individual is accurate with the predictions, he/she will be THE go-to account to follow NBA offseason transactions.

Okay but at least he didn't join the team he chocked against in the playoffs.

Let me know when LeBron joins the Warriors

Lebron would just beg steph and Klay to come play for him...

This man cried for AD to come while trying to get Kawhi and any other top player to do it. He tried to build a starting 5 with 3 of the top fucking 5 players in the league. You dont have to join the comps team when you're bring them to you. Both moves are trash but you cant justify try to justify Lebrons.

And everyone goes off in MSG except Knicks players @Lost_In_Translation

We aren’t justifying. But what Durant did was way worse

Your source got it right

Lol he ain't my source, but I get your point. If the Kawhi to Clippers rumor becomes true, he/she is my go-to source.

EDIT: I literally just contradicted myself, but again, you get the point LMAOOOOO.
