Ballmer Needs an Al Neri??? 

Post#921 » by Quake Griffin » Sun Jun 23, 2019 12:58 am

A billboard?

I guess....
As long as Ballmer never speaks to the guy who speaks to the guy...it's all done in cash and there's no paper trail back to the Clippers....

Why not?

Fact that the team he just won a ring with is having to pitch to him means he'd be out of Toronto if the Raptors flamed out early in the playoffs.

I guess you can take the boy out of California but you can't take the California out of the man.

Either that or his gf/fiance/baby momma/wife is the one wearing the pants in that relationship. :D


Speculation is that he'll do a 1+1, which is somewhat risky with his health history. But at best he might only give the Raptors one more year.

And thats we will be happy with...1+1 or whatever...In 2020 Lowry Ibaka Gasol expire..we will either fill it with 2 max contracts if we still have Kawhi pass 2020..or completely rebuild Around Siakam OG and VanVleet adding again 2 max contracts or 3-4 excellent players.
However you look at it our future is bright..and all we need is a chance to defend the title next year with Kawhi.

After that he can be all yours:) if he wants to

Kawhi's Legacy (Sounds Familiar) 

Post#931 » by Ranma » Mon Jun 24, 2019 4:42 pm

Ranma wrote:Toronto is only in this position because of him as most of their players have a penchant for disappearing for long stretches. His teammates have only done just enough to beat a depleted Warriors team. I've seen it reported that Kawhi thinks he can win regardless given the great belief he has in himself but he's got to realize that the Raptors aren't the best situation for him given that he's experienced it first-hand.

Also, if and when he wins another championship and accompanying Finals MVP, he'll have the opportunity to do so with a third team in the Clippers since only two other players have won NBA championships with three different teams: Robert Horry and John Salley. Carrying 3 different teams to NBA titles would cement his legacy as one of the greatest players of all-time and it's within realistic reach given how well positioned the Clippers are.

Southern California?

Notice the wording. Hoops Central said Southern California, not specifically the Clippers. This was a deliberate attempt to make the Lakers appear as "also interested." Nothing more than to deter the Clipper's chances at becoming greater, keeping them in the cellar for years to come. They did try to pry Doc Rivers away from the Clippers a few months back.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have a different set of stuff if you plan on coming back? Nice try. :pityfool:
