Sorry folks, might as well lock this - There is NO WAY Kawhi leaves.
Lakers vs Raps finals is a lock! |
You’re from Toronto? Man I feel for you bro. I know you think in the moment that Kawhi is staying but in about 2 weeks get ready to burn his jersey cause he is coming to LA. Despite watching him play for a year it’s obvious you don’t understand him at all if you think he is going to be swayed by any of the things you mentioned. But hey you can’t complain he gave you a chip. First in team history. Right? |
What sways Kawhi is winning and now he is a champion with Toronto. |
Pop says hi ... I swear all you ever do is piss on the Lakers. |
Are you new to this site? FWIW, he's the driving force of me leaving LG for Reddit. Came back for scoops from insiders like you though. |
You're that sensitive? That another poster can drive you away from LG...
I'd say you need to grow thicker skin, but I think it's a pair you need...

Lakers haven’t been talking to Woj at least since 2015 (Dlo draft). All his reporting are sourced from the other team. _________________

Woj is a total hater - Why do we hang on his every word when he's obviously speaking to Boston fans?!? Not going to be disappointed if we don't land KL.
AD for me was a must get - & we got'em!!!
KL seems like a pipe dream and perhaps even a smoke screen to allows us to talk to other top FA's (Butler, Kemba, Kyrie).
But even if we don't land another top FA - WE GOT ANTHONY FREGGIN DAVIS!!! |

Its obvious Woj pays for his woj bombs. Pels paid woj to provide the details of the AD trade in the best possible light favoring New Orleans. There is no doubt. |

I don't think he pays (he might) but the way he gets his scoops is by writing positive stories for agents/GMs and in turn, they leak him info for the next client who has news. |

Pays means not $$$
Pays means spreading agenda in Liu of trade/draft news |

I personally don’t think Kawhi wants to join a team with multiple star players. This is usually reserved for players who hasn’t had a taste of championship. I think his focus is building his legacy. Playing near his home is a factor too and that’s why Clippers are in play. He will have a more outstanding legacy if he brings championships to the Raptors or Clippers than being part of the trio on this Lakers team. Raptors have a more complete team and would still be a contender if he stays so that will be my bet. But if he can bring a championship to both the Raptors and Clippers, his legacy will be established. The main attraction about the Lakers is he will instantly become more popular simply because we are the Lakers and the attention of this amazing trio even if we fail to win in the playoff. |

I do think even with that feisty Clips team, he will have to work really hard to make the Finals again. He has no proven 2nd star on that team, and while that worked for the Raptors, they also had a deep crew of 2 way players (I'm looking at you Lou Will) with Lowry, Siakam, etc. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Legacy is how many rings you have. He has health issues. He wants to get paid and win rings. Clippers is not a place to do that. He can be known as multiple rings winner or the idiot who joined the clips and never reach finals again . _________________ The journey to 17 begins... |

And not surprisingly, most of the echo chamber ran with the same narrative. |

Usually the team NBA fans want you to go to is the team you shouldn’t. Everyone wants him to go to the Clippers over the Lakers because he’ll be less of a threat. You can almost hear the fear in the comments at the potential of him joining AD and Bron. I’d be telling him the same if I was a fan of another team. |

Yeah, I guess he must have found out from another team when be broke the story of the Lakers signing Lebron, or signing Frank Vogel, or trading for AD.
Love the way people here hating his take just because it doesn't support the Lakers. The guy has a history of being right far more often then being wrong.
Based on his recent reporing, he's pretty much writing off the ability for the Lakers to sign a top max free agent(because they don't have the $$$) and instead distributing the remaining $$$ that they have on lesser players to fill out the roster. |

You have to look at hoiw much Kawhi credited load management, he does not want to have to carry the load for a Clippers team that will ask him to bring it every night. |

We are all taking shrooms in this thread, but if we get Kawhi who the (bleep) cares about 2025. _________________ “You have to dance beautifully in the box that you are comfortable dancing in.” - Kobe Bryant |

LeBron will likely be gone in a couple years. It’s going to be Kawhi and AD going forward. If it’s Kawhi’s intent to return home and play in LA and the Lakers make a good pitch (which I’m sure they will) he’ll be a Laker. |
