Lol.
KL is putting on a clinic.


run that by me again...are you saying kl holds the cards because he can sit out again????


In part yes. Hes shown fortitude to stick to his guns.
Will he sign the max extension at the undesired locale?
Will anyone risk trading for him knowing he ONLY wants LAL?

Will he allow SAS to overask for too high a price?
Are other trade proposals in earnest or just to raise the LAL bid?
Will magic/pelinka fall for the bluff? nope.

Sidebar: yes KP would also love to be in LAL.

no talent WILLINGLY sits out a year. it's not ever debatable. and in effect it would be a 2yr sit. just cuz he sat one year(injury) doesn't equal willingly sitting out yet another. it's a compound effect, not just 1+1


he just sat out a year bc of SAS/Pop's "handling" of him.
this kid is special in his fortitude.
folks thinks that's a strike against him.
that's his strongest trait.
i hope SAS TRIES to send him to LAC or NYK.
Ainge will jump in just to muddy up the waters but not really deal his assets for KL.


you and i see it from different sides. it's this very fortitude that got him to be the player he is that will not allow him to sloth his way through another wasted season,,,on purpose.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't matter where he wants to go without a NTC.
It will only screw over SA if they send him somewhere else where he is likely a rental and the return would not be
as solid as if he was sent to one of his preferred destinations.
It will be interesting to see if some team not on the list believes he will want to stay there enough to outbid the
list destinations.
I get the feeling SA would not send him to another WC team, and also think NY doesn't have enough to move in a deal that
gets SA excited. I think they might rather take a similar less than optimal deal just to send him to basketball hell for a season.

try trading him to a nonLAL team. i bet his quad will be bothersome.
trade him to LAL, and he's out there balling like 2014 KL.
he has FULL leverage.
he has the narrative baked in for all possibilities.

If teams think that will be the case the Spurs won't trade him at all for the returns that are offered and in turn the Lakers won't offer enough.

That is not leverage if they don't get anything and he doesn't either.
Let him sit another year out, he will be labelled damaged goods and will not get
what he wants in a contract. For all we know he is damaged goods right now, that is leverage
against him

KL is pulling off the 100% Player Leverage v Org in real time.
something Melo/Dwight/KB/KD/Russ/Boogie/AD/Giannis/MJ have not been able to accomplish.
this is the blueprint.
"sitting out"? or saving Prime Yrs on the body. eh em MJ in mid 90s.

If it works out that way, after he is traded to a bad team, then no one will follow that model of thinking, He has to pass medical exams for the deal to be approved by the recipient and if he is approved and then just doesn't play without medical justification what team is going to bring a fool like that into their organization

I never dreamed that Kwaii was a guy who preferred big market, bad team to one of the league’s best franchises and a place where he’s already won a championship.

Gotta think he’s getting advice from all the wrong people but who knows for sure.

I dont get how so many people believe in the raptors,they have zero to chance to win it all.

dont believe EVERYthing you read. chalk full of misinfo to keep things stealth.
me thinks he'd ace a physical.
KL holding all leverage would help him SAVE the destination from having to give up too much in the deal.
see the genius?
