No guarantee of that as AD may be more attracted to go to the Knicks.

Knicks have a no3 pick over LA's No4 meaning they can go to the Pelicans and say "Who do want after Zion?" they can grab a better pick than LA can for them.

It'll be from the rumors LA and Knicks fighting over AD, Knicks have a better pick but LA have a 4th pick plus more younger's on their roster to add to the trade than NY.

50/50% I recon but honestly I don't know who would want to go to LA after the shambles that's happening over there, Knicks are at least poised to be on the rise now it seems they're getting KD and Kyrie, LA loses Lebron in a few years as well.

Will be interesting.

Yes I heard that as well but Stephen A Smith says he's heard KD and Irving are as he put it "95% announcing Knicks in June / July".

He recons only a last minute change of heart by KD could change things.

We'll see if his contacts are right.

Stephen A would probably know better than most. That will certainly awake all the sleeping Knicks fans.

Man ................

Raptors vs Bucks tonight, can't wait!

Giannis vs Kawhi

These play offs are great this season and if the final is Bucks vs GSW then I'm all in!

We all thought we were getting Giannis vs Kawhi, but we were treated to Lopez vs Lowry instead.

Funny how Kawhi finally got help from Playoff Lowry, and the Raptors still lost. Has to feel bad. Toronto just didn't have the depth or fresh legs to see the game out.

I was impressed with Toronto, tbh I'm still scratching my head about how they lost, Bucks were throwing up bricks all game and Giannis couldn't get to the basket after the 1st Q.

What I will say though is the Bucks have another gear, will shoot better and Giannis will suss their game plan out where as Toronto I feel that was their best effort last night ............ and they still lost.

I retract my previous statement about the Warriors not being able to win this season without KD.

My dummy self forgot just how much more fluid they are when they aren't playing Durant ball. So much better to watch than the Rockets and their iso-ball nonsense.

Exactly.

That's what I said on page 71.

KD is a luxury and luxuries make you lazy, now they don't have that crutch the GSW have to get back to playing like GS again.

Team ball, if they don't they'd lose but when they do they can beat anyone in the league and if the Splash Bro's get hot racking up 3's then its over, unstoppable, GSW won last night even though the Splash Bro's had a conservative scoring night, but scoring or not Steph is always an elite play making point guard, Green is balling out trying to prove they don't need KD as well.

The one thing I've liked about KD going down is you get to see just how good of a system Steve Kerr and the Warriors have created.

GSW vs Bucks if it goes that way will be the best clash of two viable well coached systems we've seen in years.

GSW small ball line up vs Bucks tall ball line up ............. really hoping this is the final, have to see this match up.

Yeah he tried to claim a foul but he initiated the contact using his forearm.

Think this might be a 5 series game if it carries on like this, 6 at the most.
