No Place for Bubble Boys

Of course not just because you say so, Mr. 100%. Nevermind that all he has to do is say that he's coming back and the whole media circus is over, but the fact that he's setting up interviews with other teams and talk about him signing for only a year or two all seem to indicate that he's thinking about going elsewhere long-term. If you Raptors trolls want to live in your bubble, stay over in the Raptors forum.

I refuse to acknowledge Clipsfansince98 as part of the Clipper fan base. The rest of the league, he is NOT one of us.

Anyone other than Isola echoing the thing about the meeting on July 2nd? I refuse to believe anything that dude says

Could Kawhi be looking to leverage a sign and trade with the Raptors to get him to the Clippers so he can have his 5 year contract-cake and eat it too? He's really not a healthy enough player to ignore $190 million.

I do not know all the new rules, regulations, and laws the NBA has created for this stuff. It's insane quite frankly. So I don't even know if that's possible.

Anywho....I don't trust Isola either but I still trust that he will meet with us and that if he meets with us, we have a shot.

Sign-and-trades are capped at four years and 5% raises, so he would earn the same contract via sign-and-trade as he could signing outright in free agency.

You might be thinking of the Warriors trading Durant story. In that case, the Warriors re-sign Durant to the five-year max and then trade him during or after the season to team X.
Plus, why would I want to go to the NBA? Duke players suck in the pros.

Wish Ujiri would have taken the job in Washington.

That would have meant a lot for us.
I am sure he can and will be convincing in any closed door meetings they have with Kawhi.

It doesn't matter because we probably won't even get a meeting.

Like he would say otherwise. "Our meetings with Kawhi have gone nowhere. He told us he will not be returning under any circumstance."

The bigger deal is that he's not just talking to Kawhi, he's also talking to Uncle Dennis.
