All aboard! The Love train!
Pretty good predictions there, guys.
Hopefully we can manage with Chase missing a month.

Yeagh I think ESPN got this one right
I honestly doubt all of you guys who went "nope" watch the spurs and rox as much as I do. I appreciate that you enjoy watching him in the postseason, but kawhi has went through long periods of struggling the last two seasons. Parsons has immediately improved with the harden addition, while kawhi struggles despite having Timmy D and TP to take the pressure off of him.

Parsons is promising, but he's not on Kawhi's level.

Kawhi has a higher ceiling.

Parsons isn't better than Leonard at really anything, he just has higher raw numbers due to playing more possessions and getting more touches.
Leonard's defense is great and better than Parsons'. Defense is half of basketball.
I played a little 2k. The game is still mediocre this year.

imma leave this here.
so true.
so true.
Yea, you not even speak english right.
With Manu being old and shitty, Kawhi will have an expanded role in the offense since hes young and can play with the second unit (as he kind of does now). He'll struggle and his defense will too. I'll bet anyone anything that Parsons will have the better offensive year and his defense won't lag like it did last year. And before the oh dwight nonsense starts, Kawhi had one of, if not the best, defensive center at his back last year. Asik was a monster, but Duncan was better.

What are you even talking about.
Kawhi was awesome last year, it felt like he was restraining himself and playing within the situation. He is going to be an All-Star in the next 3 years.

I think the conversation should be about Harden vs Kawhi. One player was a top 3 player for his team against the Heat in the finals, the other player shit himself and probably caused his team to lose.
Kawhi was getting turned out by Klay and Steph. The only thing that stopped them is Steph got tired and Klay couldnt sustain that shooting.
And Kawhi will not make the all-star team. Hes primarily a 3, and I dont see durant going anywhere. His numbers are worse than parsons, and hes on a small market team that won't matter after Duncan retires (sorry to say, I love SA, they're my second favorite team, I have a ton of SA fan friends, but they say the same thing). And Kawhi didnt play within himself, he struggles with being aggressive when TP or Timmy arent playing well. Hes a great player, not in the top 30 or so players like ESPN got him.

This is the most important thing. Especially for guys who are not The number 1 or 2 option on offense.
I knew this was coming lol
Also can't agree with you here bruh. I mean I hear you and everything.. But Leonard is better than parsons
They sent out a fucking press release about it.

It's so pathetic when the network makes the news about them. Happens very frequently, sadly.

talk to me when he goes through a scrimage without swelling
Mark Cuban won his insider trading case, then he unloaded on the SEC:

Crazy talk. The Flame of an Independent San Antonio can not, and must not, be extinguished. Although Tim built the Empire, he leaves it in capable hands after he retires. We still have the Son of Hermes and the Prince That Was Promised.
Kawhi will be the second best SF in the West in 3 years time.
Parsons is a fourth-rate jabron that would shoot 2-21 in a Finals game; Kawhi drastically impacted Achilles himself in at leadt five Finals games.

Hooooly crap going through this page. Leonard has become pretty overrated. Reminds me of the Prince hype after Detroit's championship run. He certainly has potential, but I wouldn't put him on a "higher level" than Parsons quite yet. They are pretty equal in terms of what they do for each team, but this can change obviously.
This is why i said there remains a lot of questions about Houston. There remains a lot of questions about Dwight.
Guy really could demonstrate every now and then he has developed some more bball knowledge.

are you saying harden will one day blow a wide open layup in a pivitol playoff game?
damn i'd be happy too, that's a ridiculous pass.
Brook has such a great happy face.

Opt out to get the max from James Dolan. lulz
Hopefully some other team woos him away.
Didn't watch the game, Bread? Even the commentators thought Pierce was shooting a three.
I think I'd get more schadenfreude if Melo left. The Knicks will never win anything anyway as long as Dolan is owner.
Yea but the Melo/Amare experiment is a failure so let it rot away. If the team is gonna be bad they might as well be bad with some younger players imo.
The only time I've ever liked Cubes
You can hate on melo all you like, but he's not exactly surrounded by great talent at all positions there.
Chandler is the only other legit allstar on the Knicks, considering Amare never takes the court anymore. Out side of that the roster is very... flawed / bare.
Getting Amare off the books may finally let them get some pieces, but i haven't looked at what their cap space will be when that happens.

Even Tyson is iffy lately, shump is promising though.
Not hating on Melo at all, I just don't think he ever wins a ring with the Knicks. The pieces def could be better but since there's no real flexibility to fix all that thanks to some of the contracts, I think it's best to blow it up.
