Kawhi and Bron talking about splitting Finals MVP when they achieve banner 18 with Mamba, Magic, KAJ, and Shaq in attendance.

Now?
No reason Kawhi and his camp doesn't feel they can stay in TOR OR win it all in LA with the CLIPPERS...
Kawhi? That ship has sailed. |
The way I see it Kawhi probably sees it as him going to teams and getting them championships....thats what his camp is probably thinking as well. Where are the Spurs now that Kawhi left? Where would the Raptors be if he left? So the way I see it is that he wants to add to his legacy....if he goes to the Clippers and wins a championship he would be a miracle worker. I'd love if the Lakers were able to get him but I think that might be wishful thinking unless he really wants to play with Lebron and continue to be part of the Laker legacy. |

Excuse me, what?

I don’t see it especially the first season together. LeBron just simply distributes the ball better but as age catch up, Kawhi will be 1st. $1million/yr on body management should prolonged LeBron’s prime |

| It can be Kawhi's team if the Lakers is where he wants to be....He is 7 years younger than Lebron. |

Or just get DLo back man. At least we still somewhat have a young core of AD/DLo/Kuz.
After losing 2nd/2nd/4th, I'm hurt af. |

you don't need picks when you're trying to win now, Lebron James is 34 and his time is running out, Anthony Davis is the best option to appease Lebron plus Davis is 26
we have to use the cap space for a proven winner, aka Leonard! dlo has only proven he's a scorer on a terrible team, jimmy butler is an alternative option but Leonard will bring us a championship for sure, plus you got vets and kuzma, we also need to sign shooters |

| If Kawhi sign for Lakers, maybe the league will veto Anthony trade. Lakers will be the loop-sided favourite for the 2020 champion. LeBron can be the point forward playing less minutes average 20, 12, 10. Kawhi and Davis can get their 25-27 pts and pay 35 minutes per game. We don’t see us having 3 superstars on the court with each sitting out 10-15 games. |

CREDIT TO ISHABWA FROM REDDIT LAKERS
interesting read!!!!
Kawhi to LAL social media hints:
First of all: I present the Mona Lisa: https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1013577087289118721?s=21
Did the media forget about this tweet? Kawhi clearly wants to play with Lebron. Where the clippers rumors come from are beyond me.
As some may know Kawhi’s sister runs his official Kawhi Leonard Instagram fan page. She goes by @mztwotwo on IG. https://m.imgur.com/a/SjwYK2l
The only three NBA teams this official Kawhi fan page followed are the Raptors. Spurs. .... and Lakers. And quite a few Laker greats.
Her personal profile is nothing out of the ordinary. Kawhi posts and family photos. She posted a photo with Kawhi’s cousin. https://imgur.com/a/pbzq7se
Still nothing out of the ordinary.
On his profile you’ll see he is clearly a die hard laker fan (including some heavy clipper slander) https://imgur.com/mpE9jwZ
“ESPN stroking the clippers 😂”
This is his most recent IG story: https://imgur.com/uFkpsNI
“Next year will be special” with an emoji of Lebron .
I wasn’t too convinced after this, just another laker fan with some ties to Kawhi’s family. But then I saw this. https://imgur.com/1odojuD
Kawhi’s cousin posted a photo of Kawhi, Lebron and AD in lakers jerseys. And Kawhi’s sister @mztwotwo likes the photo and put “👀” in the comments.
This has clearly been in the works for awhile. This isn’t a report at all. But I certainly won’t be shocked when Kawhi comes to the Lakers. |

Here is my selling point to Kawhi.
First, load management. With three superstars, each will be able to take off as many regular season games as they want or need without the team missing a beat.
Second, championships. Kawhi, AD, and LeBron would put the Lakers in the driver's seat to win the next 3 championships. That would give Kawhi 4 in a row — first star to achieve that in more than 50 years. Then, when LeBron's salary comes off the books, the Lakers have a great chance to sign Giannis or another star player. In the end, Kawhi should have a great shot at winning a total of 7+ championships — passing MJ, Kareem, Magic, Kobe, possibly even LeBron.
Third, the global brand of the Lakers in the city of Los Angeles! |
