" easy to see some of it sticking to Balmer and the agent, but Kawhi? I don't know" My thoughts exactly. The most the league can give Kawhi is fines, equivalent to what he got out of the Aspiration deal. But suspension? No. submitted by /u/GrayMan2050 [link] [comments]

In the meantime, league business remains stalled. Specifically, the previously agreed upon trade, where the Raptors hope to send Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick and multiple draft assets to the Clippers in return for Leonard, remains on hold. There is still optimism the deal will be completed in its original form. However when it was made clear that if any punishment from the investigation was assigned to Leonard — a lengthy suspension, for example — it would be a risk the Raptors would have to a...

The potential role may be the biggest hurdle. DeRozan would be a backup for the first timein Toronto, and while people who know him have been working on him to accept it, it’d be a major career shift. And because he’s so close to cracking the top 10 on the NBA career scoring list (about 2,000 points away), not starting — or not even having a featured scoring role off the bench — would put a crimp in the pursuit of a truly memorable accomplishment.

Lakers' brass have mixed feelings about latest offseason changes.

"To be transparent, it's weird," Tatum said. "I've been on the Celtics for nine years, and he was my teammate. You understand throughout the course of your career that the NBA is a business, and people change teams ... but it doesn't make it any easier ... But there's also a side of, like, you have to welcome our new teammates." I have nothing, obviously, but love and respect for JB," Tatum said.

Dadiet has noticeably gotten better in the G-League this year compared to his rookie year. He looked good in the first game of Summer League & literally is still too young to buy beer legally. Still it seems unlikely he cracks the rotation or even breaks camp with the team. Seems like it’s matter of when he’s traded but I don’t think he’s a total lost cause & could have a fruitful NBA career…just not here. submitted by /u/Joeblowpublic [link] [comments]
