There does not exist a world in which I'm willing to say DeRozan is a top 15 NBA player.

I think he could be argued with 2-3 that you’d put In your top 20

I’m guessing that if you put together your top 20 that he would be debatable for a couple of your picks near the 20 mark

No but I respect your opinion and know you’d give defense it’s fair share. Personally I’d have to put him right around 20th

Heard a hot taek from a co-worker today...

Toronto wants to rebuild.  They take Kawhi on to make them better, yes... but if they want to trade for some young talent some time this season, you have a better bargaining chip with Kawhi (perhaps LA?)  I don't know if I see that, though.

I don't think that's a hot take at all. Toronto could definitely pit the two LA's against each other to bid for Kawhi.

If he goes to the Clips, he could still just walk after the season is over, so the Clips (or any team he doesn't want to play for [bitch]), would be a lot more hesitant in the trade to begin with.

They could do a sign and trade to the Lakers.

Yeah, I heard the same take and this is why I don't buy it.  The Clippers have everything to lose in this situation.  I doubt Kawhi agrees to sign long term with the Clips.

Kawhi has said he would like to play for either LA teams. To me that says he would sign long term with either.

Yeah I know he said that, but I have a hard time believing he would be willing to sign a long term deal, when the lakers are set up better to help him win a title.  Maybe he doesn't give a fuck and just wants to be in LA, but I tend to lean that he would not agree to sign a long term deal with the Clips.

If he does, then it makes sense for Toronto to use him as a auction to help their rebuilding.  If not, I think Toronto made the wrong move trading for him.

Mini Woj bomb

Oklahoma City has agreed to trade Carmelo Anthony and a protected 2022 first-round pick to Atlanta for point guard Dennis Schroder and Mike Muscala, league sources tell ESPN. Anthony will be waived, and he will join team of his choice. Rockets are frontrunner.

Hoping Melo goes to Golden State.  He would be the only person I could see completely destroying them from the inside.

Yup, I am back on the TT bandwagon.  I hope they fight during the regular season.

Oh man, this TT/Draymond thing is gaining steam. Saw where some guy is trying to organize a parade in Cleveland on TT's behalf just for sucker punching him...lol
