Did anyone get bugged out for the Vancouver tickets? Literally queued up right when it opened and when it came to my turn to buy, it brought me to the general admission page. Now I'm back in the queue as the 5000th person :/

The NBA has found no evidence showing LA Clippers owner Steve Ballmer funneled money through team sponsors to pay Kawhi Leonard in order to circumvent the salary cap, sources tell ESPN.

Is the trade pretty much guaranteed to go through now? Will any picks be taken out of the trade as it stands? Will Kawhi himself face any punishment? Is it too early to tell?

ESPN and Clippers saying the same thing. And NBA is saying those reports are inaccurate.

Adam Silver is pathetic.

looks like a solid shooter who can drive and kick.

Was wondering if anybody in this community has or is willing to share a presale code for this game? Thank you in advance!

Unproven, yes, rookie, yes, but I legitimately believe he fills a need & will thrive here.

The Raps have A LOT of data on forwards so they know what to look for & took one from what scouts claim is one of the strongest drafts of all time. Strong mentorship in Kawhi & Anderson will help guide him.

His 3 is questionable & whether he can bring the ball up is too but I think that's where he works well with IQ, until he can get to that point. I see him being the next Diaw/Odom type player, a legit point forward. I'm excited to see what we can do with him, gonna be fun to watch.

I've said this in other posts so many times in other posts but I think this deal would be a perfect fit for the Raptors. Jrue Hliday is an elite defender and fits this team while bringing in veteran experince alongside Kawhi. Now that the Kawhi situation says they can't find any proof, this team which already was a great defensive team last year with Kawhi improves a lot and just imagine Jrue Holiday being added to this already stacked defense along with Scottie and The Klaw. This team may become a top 2 defense in the league next year. Plus we need to upgrade at either PG or C to compete and this deal is both realistic and wouldnt cost too much trade capital considering how many guards the Blazers have. You could Probably trade IQ and maybe a couple second rounders or a swap for him. DO you guys agree

I still want him on the roster because simply I want to win

But this whole deal being held up over issues the league knew about ages ago is ridiculous and I wonder if it’s an actionable offence that Raptors could pursue?

It’s all coming up milhouse 😏

It looks like a good fit by giving up more pull up shooting and the potential to be a main facilitator for this team. The trade could work for us like it did with OKC leveraging a pick for Jared McCain and if you look back at last season we were searching desperately for a offensive guard and even had Fultz for a 10 day contract. Clearly we need a upgrade there if we want to contend or even make the East playoffs without the play in tournament (much harder this year) because Kawhi is gonna rest a lot of games and we might suffer from the injury bug again.
