if Kawhi doesn’t go to the Lakers, the Nets will win the Chip in 2021 when KD returns

Depends what other teams, including the lakers, do. I think lakers are better with jimmy butler, for example. But Nets emerge as front runners ahead of Milwaukee in an extremely weak east.

...and if a frog had a tail he wouldn't bump his *ss.
The Nets are idiots for paying KD that amount of money.

Is it worth the risk? Maybe not. But it’s the only short term shot the nets have of winning a title. So I give them credit for that. And I’m happy since I can easily go to games.

Just like GS doctor?
No way is he ever going to be 100%.

He could still be a top 5 player when he returns. And nowadays top 25 players get max deals. He just gets a free year.

They’re taking a chance. Swinging for the fences. It might pay off. Even if it does they still may not win. And it may not pay off. They’re taking the risk at least.

Taking a risk is completely meaningless.
We haven't even got to the other idiot move, Kyrie.

any team in the NBA would give him the max in an instant. There’s a reason for that. This is not the 50s you can come back from this injury

Not any. But several would. And he’s their best title option if he’d be interested in them.

You mean the 2010s?

You mean like DeMarcus Cousins?
Do I need to continue? 

[mochjas]

yes you need to continue. You’re comparing Cousins to KD? KD is a freak of nature and has more drive than cousins. And cousins can still come back. Rudy gay most recently came back from it.

And is now worth 16m a year

[mochjas]

It’s very simple who would you rather have? Tobias harris 5/180 or KD 4/164?? It’s a no brainer

[CountValentine]

How about we compare him to someone that accomplished way more than him, Kobe Bryant!!! Open mouth insert foot. 
I am done.

how old was Kobe when he had his injury??

[CountValentine]

Any more excuses?

[mochjas]

Any more excuses?

yes Kobe’s game was based on athleticism. KD has height and shooting so even if he’s not 100 percent he still doesn’t lose his most important skills
