Damn, I really don't want Kawhi to go to Lakers but...
RT @Chris_Broussard: Hearing Raptors chances of keeping Kawhi are fading. A return to SoCal - either team - getting more and more likely.

Well DLo is going to be their back up plan. If they get Kawhi or another max player then Russell isn't going to LA. We have to move fast to get him.

New scenario if DLo snubs us.

If Cavs are indeed team interested in Wiggins..

Wiggins and Culver for Garland and expirings.

Dump Wiggins for anything regardless if Dlo wants to come here or not. Dump his ass for some jock straps if need be

Sure would have been nice to have just drafted White instead of now having to gut the entire Team to have to try and get a maxed Russell.

Will be interesting to see what Rosas’s fall backs are and who else he has the KAT meetings set up with.

If I am Russell and I get similar offers from LA and MN, there is no fucking way I pass up playing with LeBron and Davis - especially when he said years ago his dream was to play with LeBron and Davis.

Maybe Rosas can fill the PF spot with a real PF if Russell falls through, and if he was smart from these articles he should be moving to plans B and C immediately.

I am hoping he has something good up his sleeve, because I am off the Russell wagon.

GO WOLVES!! :thumbsup:

I'm not much of a D'Angelo Russell fan as well, he's absolutely putrid on the defensive end, as a matter of fact he barely tries. Karl Anthony Towns, Wiggins, and Russell would be a disaster defensively in my humble opinion. It would be a layup line.

For a PG, his Assist #’s don’t do much for me.

I am having a hard time seeing how he drastically improves the Team once you subtract away what it takes to get him.

Hope he enjoys LA the second time around, and enjoys being LeBron’s puppet.

I'd rather pass on Russell, since next years draft should be pretty decent for PGs. And wouldn't want to give him a max

Glen Taylor will not pay the luxury tax until it's a contending team meaning playoff caliber every year.

Where's this salary shedding move for the 17 or whatever million plus so we can sign D'Angelo Russell? (in theory)

Russell if we get him will likely be done via s&t thus no need to shave cap.

Nets are going to sign Kyrie for 4/141 and are saying they're just going to relinquish his rights.

If Rosas lands Russell and trades Wigs it will make the froobs who thought Culver wasn’t the target look like morons.

There’s absolutely no way all that happens without having a plan in advance.
