Uncle Dennis and his business savvy really shining through here. “We want bigger endorsement deals!” *gets shown the door* Keep it up old man. :clown:

Kawhi gonna get that endorsement deal from Puma!

just the mere thought of him signing in LA next season should be enough for him to secure another good deal...AND TORONTO is the team of a whole entire money spending country that loves to support thier team no way i would let kawhi walk but hopefully PUMA hops in and makes the good gamble.

Probably better to lay low this year anyway. I don't think Leonard can be counted on to move units until after he shows he's healthy and still a positive person off the court.

Is 5.5M per year a lot for a shoe deal tho? O_o

Again, not sure if this list is comprehensive, but Lillard can get $10M, Kyrie 8M per but Kawhi can't? He gets the same as Paul George?

People say personality, but Rose got $11M last season, I'm assuming from his MVP-level prime.

This was expected. Jordan Brand was never going to continue with Kawhi after the extension was turned down. Kawhi will get a better shoe deal money and exposure wise in the next season or two. The problem is that after a season they'll realize that Kawhi doesn't have the personality to be a face and he'll just be an extra on a few shoe commercials.

4/22 seems like a garbage extension offer to someone who was top 5 when he went down.

They'll probably regret not offering more after this season.

Kawhi doesn't sell sneakers. He doesn't have any charisma. Jordan Brand did the right thing to part ways with him. His image is shot right now.

Not when you have the personality of drywall. He should’ve taken that offer and ran.

All that will be overlooked in rapid time along side Lebron in LA.

It only makes sense to not offer further contracts to a guy who wipes his ass with them

No he will simply be in his shadow

He might get some but probably not what he’s looking for
