@canefan Do you mean Kyrie could run back to LeBron unless AD goes there, but if Boogie went to LAL, that wouldn't bother Kyrie?
Boston was in the running to try and get AD. If they manage to sign him I wonder if KI chooses to stay? I wasn't referring to AD to LAL, but if he went there I'm sure KI would consider it too. Things were such a mess with that trade scenario last year, I don't know if Davis still gets to LA

@canefan Vogel is a very good coach and has a bit of fight in him. I like the appointment.
J Kidd’s role will be interesting, but I think if they can land one other star and everyone can get on the same page - I actually see it working.

I wonder if he is a more technical coach than Lue. I still can't shake the suspicion that his success had more to do with LBJ than his own abilities

That whole scenario is a bit of a mess. I don't know why the Celtics would ever want Kyrie to stay. The only reason would be to lure AD. But then a) they still have the issues of Kyries' bullshit behaviour and b) they've also traded some quality pieces for one year of AD. So let's say they pull off the trade and keeping Kyrie, come 2020 they could be without both (AD a free agent and maybe they lose patience with Kyrie) and some of their young stars who carried them so well in the playoffs last year.

A LBJ-Boogie-KI trio might work because they all have different roles. Boogie might stay in GS now if he can't get healed in time for next season (although they say he might be back for the finals if they make it).
If the Lakers can get Kyrie without giving up any of their young players, they will at least be competitive in the WC and likely a top-4 team.
I think the Celtics experience shows that Kyrie can't be the #1 banana on a team (too unstable), but I reckon he'd still be a great #2. Add in Ingram, Ball, Kuzma, Hart and you have a handy core of players.

He would have to accept the role, but otherwise it would be an instant improvement

Blazers win Game 7 in Denver to set up a likely loss to the Warriors. Still a big achievement to get to the Conference Finals.
Meanwhile the Raptors are up by one with eight minutes left against the Sixers. Been impressed with Philly this game, thought Toronto would win by 15+. Kawhi putting the team on his back.
-
Amusing end to that Philadelphia vs Toronto Game 7 — tied 89-89 Leonard puts up a shot at buzzer that bounces around the rim hangs in the air forever and goes in. Raptors advance to Eastern Final against Milwaukee.
-
What a shot. Four bounces and goes in. Toronto needed that if they want to try and keep Kawhi.
-
-
@Salacious-Crumb Gets the shooter's roll. I bet if you offered him $500K to bounce it in like that again your money would be safe
-
It’s funny to watch it over and over. Dom’t look at the ball. Just watch the players reactions waiting... waiting...
Great suspense. Leonard is watching seated on his ass.
-
Wow. What a performance in a Game 7.
So happy for Toronto.
Kawhi is an absolute phenom of a player. He has shut a lot of people up this season.
The really crazy part is how similar it is to Vince Carter's Raptors game ending shot vs Philly on '01 that didn't fall. Raptors get the bounce this time.

I wonder if he decides to stay there. I know the rumours said he wants to go to LA, but his personality might suit the dimmer lights of Toronto. And they love him unconditionally up there

Fuck you Kawhi

@mariner4life alright Skip Bayless
