Think about Toronto. With all of their success: they trade their coach (after he wins coach of the year); trade their best player for Kawhi (coming off an injury an expressed desire for sun, not ice); now trading for an old center -- and who knows perhaps ready to trade Lowry too (if someone willing to take his bad back)
Worse for them is lowry’s Back injury- Hahn said it’s basically shot and he might not make it through the playoffs.
Here’s the trade, not sure who most of the players are so can’t say if it’s good or bad:

Jonas at least could play in the past. It looked like they moved him to the bench in favor of Ibaka. Not sure why exactly
Toronto will have two very tough minded competitors in Kawhi and Gasol
I’m finding this hilarious/tragic to watch- he’s been absolutely thrashed by wow today, so it just looks kind of sad watching him sit in his empty office, playing on his phone

Shams has been good up to today though

I would take Delon Wright
Surprised at that haul for the sixers. I hope Fultz is able to turn things around, he needed a fresh start
Looks like Frank is safe! Thought the magic might make an offer for him, but now they’ve landed Fultz it’s not going to happen
The Clippers have quickly become a summer obstacle.

Don’t get why the lakers just traded them zubac for essentially trash

What are the cap implications?
Good riddance! Hopefully the last diva we have for a long long time

Wes Matthews getting bought out too, per Shams.

After leaking all the players the Lakers offered (which basically included the whole team) then refusing to deal, they've destroyed the Lakers team chemistry and left Lebron looking really bad (in addition to alienating all his team mates he's also been campaigning to get rid of the coach). Not sure how he turns this one around, especially with no big FA's lined up to go to the lakers in the offseason. They need to pray the Pelicans are bluffing.
Good point. Pels win either the revenge game, get an even better offer, or get a better offer and still make LBJ look like a back stabber
About time
I approve of this approach or anything else that makes LeBron look bad.

Wow, Toronto is loading up, may take Kwahi out of the FA market if the gel

No worries, we have Dennis Smith I am too good to be benched Jr.

were they really trying to trade a guy they publicly said they would waive.
that's like a cars salesmen telling a potential buyer, the transmission is about to go on this bad boy

Eraser boy/Linshouldcum with the agenda. Pushing the "he ignored plays" like it came from the coaches mouth. It came from a blogger who mentioned a scout he was interviewing that thought this may have happened. But yeah, eraser boy makes it so. Carlisle apologized for not handling the transition of Doncic as main ball handler better. Dumbass also claims Smith Jr. lost his starting job. Yet doesn't realize this never happened (as Smith went out due to injury) nor does Doncic play the point guard position. So how did he lose his job to Doncic. If your gonna post 24/7 and use up moms data, at least post some truth.
This was a case of a franchise changing directions. They touted Smith the previous year as the face of the franchise. They then lucked out and got essentially the number ONE pick who they think is a better player. Smith saw and probably was told he would no longer be the focal point. But people blame him for wanting a better situation? GTFOH. Same people that make all the excuses for KP and how the team did everything for him only to have him want to move on.
So,... I wonder as part of the draft today if Lebitch n Giannis will agree to draft Wade n Dirk first as a sign of respect from all the all star players

I want the lakers trade candidates to play “keep away” w Lebron, the way isiah did w MJ
