***The Official 2018-2019 nba thread***

The NBA is not a team driven product, its a star-driven one. The league doesnt win with competitive balance, it wins with its stars going deep in the playoffs. I understand as fans that this is what we like to see but its not what the league is going for.

Well if golden state dominates there way to a title next year, they may have no chouce. The ratings for the nba could be down if no team is seen as a viable threat to unseat the warriors

Pre-Leonard the Spurs were getting bounced by the Memphis Grizzlies, Phoenix Suns and Mavericks, he transformed this ball club. They went from a 60 win team to 47 despite bringing a better roster this year, even OKC lost less games than when they lost KD. He's literally the only reason why they have a chance vs GS.

You tell me why a 33 year old Lebron was playing 42mpg, taking 23 shots per game while 25 year old Leonard was playing 35mpg and taking just 16.8 shots per game in the playoffs. Leonard hasn't been allowed to blossom, career 12.1 FGA with the Spurs, even Klay Thompson averages more for his career.

I seriously doubt that it has reached this point due to player development or tactics

Seems obvious that KL wants a change due to falling out with some in SA and having his head turned by entourage members

Great player but doesn’t have superstar persona to drive endorsements

He may well live to regret rejecting a supermax contract if it comes to that

LeBron, Kawhi, and PG are going to be the best trio in the NBA next year. All of them are good and decent defenders. Ball and Kuzma needs to start hitting their outside shots.

How you gonna go from Popovich to bum ass Luke Walton coaching you

take this L Kawhi you buggin

Kawhi and LeBron should join forces in Boston. mofos need to take pay cuts like the Warriors do.

a 73 win team that came a few points from repeating as champions didn't need no damn help. Yet they added KD. a superteam must form to compete otherwise its another cakewalk title for Golden State.

but if the Spurs wanted to be petty they could just send Kawhi to Orlando and ruin his whole year. he's not a free agent yet the team controls where he lands.
