Only reason I clicked. Heard people speak about this boring topic all over youtube

[@razkable]

I was annoyed with them dissing kd praising kawhi as if the east is not much easier than the west especially if you avoid the 76ers ...yes hes hurt he may never be 100% or what he was but you go after kd 100/100 times and kyrie only came to play with him and vice versa so you have to take them both...its just kd got hurt which sucks when he was going for a 3rd finals mvp in a row ...if he was healthy the nets would be my pick to make the finals since kd is just that good...kawhi has to deal with the rockets nuggets and lakers

[@jamesk8926]

TBH I only clicked cause of Malika

[@jam-rockrider9479]

I think Kawhi just wanted another two-way player that emphasizes defense. Paul George or Jimmy Butler

[@JamesHall_II]

He's been eyeing PG since he initially left Indiana. Tried to get the Spurs to trade for him.

[@jam-rockrider9479]

James Hall II oh yeah. After a game against Toronto PG had said he spoke to Kawhi about his upcoming free agency. They’ve been plotting, they’re L.A. boys. LeBron went to the team they originally wanted so now they’ll just stop him from winning another ring.

[@JamesHall_II]

@@jam-rockrider9479 Exactly. Plus it didn't help that the Lakers became so dysfunctional & Magic revealed he talked to Kawhi. Plus with PG's Mom not being in the best shape health wise which has led her to not be able to travel to see him play, he had more of an urgency to get back home.

[@attatara5364]

[@rich3637]

Kawhi gets a pass because he has no personality. Media is going to turn on him soon though if the Clippers don’t win a championship.

[@rubikino7569]

Who else was there since Kawhi at that point had already been turned down buy about everybody ( KD / JIMMY / KYRIE ETC.) PG13 was the only choice , DOC is so full of it. Media's trying so hard....with their STORIES.

[@dewboiler]

Actually your version was another story created by the media.

[@AisuruMirai]

Malika's intense skepticism aside, I think Jacoby is right about Westbrook being a means for Harden to not overwork himself in the regular season and be ready for the playoffs. I don't think their playing time will be as staggered as he predicts, though.

[@deyoncarter6663]

Dlo was an all star

[@chaosbalanced]

Stagger Westbrook and Harden to load manage the both of them- involve Eric Gordon and Austin rivers as the sidekicks to load manage them. While PJ and others fill their defensive and floor spacing rim rolling roles. Allowing for 4 iso ball handlers to learn to stay in the moment, be counted on to run the show. Read the defense and create whatever mismatch you (the player) wants. Bringing a street ball or summer ball vibe to the offense because that’s what a lot of them do best In my opinion -This will be psychological for their team. Creating a you can’t guard me culture w/ Harden as the lead, followed by the other 3. Pushing the ball, one man fast breaks, creating and drawing fouls from assertive and aggressive play. Allowing them to play in the half court the way they know how and still having the complementary pieces they wouldn’t have if they had their own teams to themselves. This load manages everyone for example offensive load breakdown would be (harden 30% Russell 25% Eric and Austin 15% each and 15% from those four creating shots for others, defensive stops, and broken plays. D’antoni style of coaching and being go with the flow will work. That way he can sense whose “hot” or flowing better against a particular team(s)- compared to having to satisfy egos and play certain guys at certain times. I have more but I’ll End it there .....

[@EmptyMagazine]

An astute analysis, Malika. 😉

[@user-im1kc6td2k]

They had a list of players under contract to other teams and he picked who he wanted to play with....lol if that's not tampering then what is ...smh

[@Mrpedr092]

1010 10 Any team can try and trade for players. Like they can ask for Giannis and LeBron without it being tampering. OKC could just say “no thank you” since PG was under contract. I see no tampering.

People are shocked because Kawhi is calm in nature but he is a thoughtful person who knows what he wants.

The media always exaggerate for the drama is more salesman.

Jeff Brisson I’d agree with those teams but chemistry will play a big role too with all of them besides Denver honestly. AD and LeBron, Russ and Harden, and then Conley going to Utah. Even Denver wants to incorporate MPJ more but beyond that, they have the least roster changes from last season
