We wouldn't be 20-3, and we'd be really pissed about Load Management and we'd be hoping that it all works out in the playoffs.
I don't think we would have gone 3-0 against Denver, Utah, and Portland, since Mr. Load Management would have missed at least one of those. _________________ ¡Hala Madrid!
the major thing is Kawhi hasn't been as good this year as people taught..so it seems we wouldn't have 3 scoring threats but rater 2 scoring threats and perhaps a solid scorer.

24.5 PPG is more than a solid scorer. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
Kawhi career field goal % - 49.2, and three point % 38.0
Kawhi 2019-20 field goal % - 43.6, and three point % 31.8
Kawhi's shooting has never been worse
Off year or is he really declining due to injury? How is his defense?
Whenever someone watches a Clippers game one of the first things they usually say is "Kawhi looks slow and old"
His knee looks like its bothering him. He usually defends a lesser attacker like Lebron does (he wouldn't go on Harden but he'd defend Tucker, he wouldn't go on Booker, and Giannis just abused him on those few occasions they matched up). He looks slow with little lift. He has a slight limp at times during the games. He played 41 minutes against Houston then had to sit out the next three games due to knee problems. He has great 4th quarter stats because he likes to lean on his team in the first 3 quarters and load manage in games.
Dunno what to say. It looks like he really does have a degenerative knee and it's already affecting him.

Exactly and not to mention, guys like AD are playing through sickness, injury, and pain. Bring a guy like Kawhi who needs load management and that could ruin the chemistry.
Lebron yelled a Danny Green rt before half of the game vs the Mavs for jogging back on a fast break.
So what you would have with Kawhi on this team is his sad face in the photo below
Except Lebron will be next to him yelling into his ear. And than Kawhi will go to the media stating how Lebron is a push over and terrible leader and so on. Thank god he didn't come here.

Good Gawd
Oh it gets better, these would be career lows by him by quite a margin EXCEPT … that year he only played single digit games for the Spurs because of his peg leg he shot slightly worse from 3 (31.4%)
These are pretty much career low shooting percentages by a fair margin though

I only saw the first three quarters of that Bucks game, but there were countless possessions where Leonard would get the ball on the wing, dribble for 10 seconds, penetrate a bit, the Bucks would have a spy to prevent further penetration, and then stop with his pivot foot planted. He would then look to pass the ball to someone for the remainder of the shotclock. He routinely didn't have enough lift to shoot the ball over the defender. At that point, the offense would be dead. The Bucks were very disciplined in not falling for his fakes and covering the cutters.
If I were the Lakers coaching staff, I'd favor Leonard having the ball and killing the offense that way. They should watch a tape of that Bucks game. _________________ ¡Hala Madrid!

The amount of solid depth available at the vets min is why I would have taken Kawhi 10 times out of 10. Not much of a drop off between McGee/KCP/Green/Cook vs Noel/RHJ/Burks/Burke _________________ "He's a Zen master, so he can speak to you, and he doesn't need a microphone; you can hear him in your head, 'Ron, don't shoot, don't shoot.' Whatever, pow, three. I love the Zen, though."
Everything would have been different. The butterfly effect.
Kawhi is the Kobe of today, but I feel we wouldn’t be 20-3. We may win some chips, but would Kawhi hinder the development of Davis? Would Davis even resign if he was third best in the team? I kinda like the way things are now. Hopefully Davis will morph into the best power forward ever and a legit 1A for the Lakers for years to come.
Yeah I saw a report as well from a DR the same one that predicted if KD came back and played in the finals he would end up tearing his achiles which he did.
He said that Kawhis knees are only going to get worse, and it's definitely a degenerative knee issue he assumed he has no more than 2-4 years to play max and will probably retire to it.
I mean look at him now it does really seem its just getting worse & worse. _________________
