Not sure why he left Toronto in the first place. He had the entire country rooting for him. Granted California is as populated as Canada, he ain't gonna get that love here. _________________ I miss you Kobe. I miss you Gigi.

....that Kawhi now regrets not signing with the Lakers?
It would've been a guaranteed chip this year, near-guaranteed repeat.
But now, his entire season is in hot water.
If they lose Game 7, the operative question will be: does Ballmer regret gutting the team for PG13?
The Clippers' window isn't exactly that long, given that Kawhi has an unfixable degenerative condition. LouWill & PatBev are 33 & 32, respectively. Trez & Morris are free agents this summer. Their draft pick situation is worse than the Lakers.
The knives will come out if Denver wins that series. _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns".

He has no intention to play for us. He made it clear when he was reportedly asking guys like KD, Butler etc to play with him. We got duped for the possibility of getting him but his actions (secret meeting with PG) spoke louder than his words. Karma is a (bleep) and I hope PG and his fickle minded personality will leave him and we win the next 3 chips and he get career ending injury and fade away from obscurity.

No, he still wants to beat Lebron again.
He has never beaten LBJ. His team has beaten an LBJ team and as you have said anyone who has won anything has won because of their team. Ergo he hasn't beaten anyone at squat.

I don't think there's anything to regret the Clippers... it took him a game 7 buzzer beater last year to win a series.. now he's got to be a superstar again.
But He should have stayed in Toronto. Gasol, Siakam, Kawhi, Lowry, FVV + OG, Ibaka, Powell is damn good. Also, Danny likely stays in Toronto so add him to that mix.
But I will say this to all my fellow Laker fans.. let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.

+ 1 He came to the Clippers with no guarantee of victory. We also know he wanted to be in LA well before he got traded to Toronto. Going to the Clippers gave him the best of both worlds. A championship contender and his desired city. Win win.
I think Kawhi is where he wanted and wants to be. He'll have another go at it soon enough but he's going to look to beat LeBron; in my O. _________________ Lakers need to build a freaking team !

Raptors were *this* close to being an ECF team (and possibly a finals team) without Kawhi. With him, they would easily be the favorites and repeating would have cemented his legacy.
This year sort of showed that the Raptors werenโt really all that weak last year. They just looked like an underdog relative to the GSW dynasty. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
