Hes talking about wanting Kawhi Leonard to play with him next year on the Knicks.

Love the thought of kawhi. I just don’t see how he doesn’t re sign in Toronto especially with them when they win the finals

And I’m starting to wonder who Durant can get as a running mate in the scenario Durant chooses the Knicks

Kawhi- finals win / does he even want to pair up
Klay- he’s Curry’s teammate to the end
Kyrie- seems to want Brooklyn
Kemba- maybe possible but not if Charlotte offers that super max
Butler - has a golden opportunity in philly and if he leaves rumored to have wanted to play with Kyrie in the past

After those guys. Who else is available
Tobias ? Middleton ?

They are not the ones to sign to a big deal as a running mate

Kawhi has said he wants to end up on the best TEAM. If he sees Knicks legitimately on verge of signing both AD and KD and then potentially another max, he likely would be well aware we would likely be a better team than the Raptors even if he remained there. Also his Uncle is one of his closest friends and his main doctors for his leg stuff are here in NY. Still a longshot perhaps but not without some merit.

I’m just reposting this with all the Kawhi questioning.

I also love how some here are saying Kawhi had to lose in the finals to have a chance of him leaving. But KD/Warriors lose and it means he’s staying.

No, no. I was early with the idea of signing those two and got a lot of burn for pointing out how Kyrie is inferior. But this idea is now buried.

Imo there's no way Durant would again team up with the winner of the last championship after all he's been through. He could and it should be an ok move imo, but it isn't happening. If the Warriors won as was expected before the series, there might have been a chance. But if Toronto wins, I think both stay - certainly they don't team up in NY then. No way, not at all.

Yup, LeBron had LA figured out close to a year before it happened. The Miami team up sure wasnt last minute either.

Many already know but there could be a few guys still waffling too.

that... would be tampering.

I don’t understand what this has to do with Kyrie or Kd. Can you explain?

royal ivey is not a player. he's a coach. he can't be talking to or about FAs or players on other teams right now.

[Jeff Van Gully]

Watch on YouTube

is kawhi admitting he's damaged goods a bit in this ? he says if he didn't take all those games off for load management he wouldn't be able to play now. says he's not thinking about free agency now.

Yo! What's up with Serge laying out penis and forcing Kawhi to eat it? Like, that's a real thing that happened that Kawhi is comfortable talking about. WTF is going on?!?! We not gonna talk about this?

2:45 mark FYI.

did you not see that?

serge has a weird food cooking show that he brings many raptor teammates onto. the kawhi episode was awesome.

i've got the receipts. been on this train from day 1.

i don't think this series has any impact on KD's decision. win or lose, he's gonna be where he wants.

i think toronto has done more than enough to make its case to keep kawhi. this is WORKING. like a machine.

yep. i agree with you both. most minds made up by now. but some wafflers probably weighing options and watching the first big dominoes.

So if the knicks decide they want to move fast for AD and create a pairing of AD can KD and trade for him right away.

Anyone have an idea of what cap $ will be left over

Do they have room to try and grab a 3rd guy to run with

The guys hashed/rehashed and hashed it out again in the previous thread! It gave me a headache

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe for cap purposes you can agree to the trade in PRINCIPLE and just not execute it until after you sign the 2nd max (if you decide that is the best strategy since you can use the 120% rule to go over cap via a trade).

And you are right but Canada is a different life than the US. Some guys take to it some don't. Also he is very far from family and friends out there. It all depends on how much he values all that. Kawhi is a tough one to read right now. But as opposed to before I don't think he'd have us entirely off the list especially if he sees us assembling a great team here.

If you trade trade Mitch, 3rd pick plus 2/3 of Knox, Frank, DSJ then about 21mil

Be nice to grab ad Kd then have 21 left over.
Maybe russel gets pissed at the nets but wants to stay in nY and comes to the knicks. A good 3rd wheel to the ad kd combo

I think buying a house is an easy read.

If both came to NY you'd need to change your username though

[G_K_F]

You must’ve misread my post somewhere or it came off the wrong way to you.

Frankly my point was I have no f*cking clue where Kawhi goes, sounds like you’re sure he takes the max to stay in Toronto. What makes you think that?

If anything he can win this chip and bounce somewhere else.

Why?

He says himself it's all about winning titles. The Raptors are about to win one.

The Raptors can easily get back to the Finals next year. He can sign a 2 year extension at max money and keep his options open again down the line.

He could’ve stayed in San Antonio and done the same exact thing, and he won a ring there.

Yeah, that’s not true. San Antonio was not winning any rings out West with that roster even with Kawhi.

He also left because he didn’t trust the team and the medical staff, among other things. No indications he has those issues here.
