Hell no. He's a proven champ and kicked ass in the past playoffs. He has a blank check to do whatever he wants

Which makes it an incredibly weak move to sign on with LeBron and AD.

Maybe, but the comparison was between him and KD. There are a few key differences

Unless you're just using KD treatment in the general sense. Then, yeah, he probably will get some hate

Come on Kawhi. Stay in Toronto. We will rename the country to Kawhanada if you stop the evil Lakers.

Agree 100%. That is just pathetic on Kawhi's part if he does that.

It is the nature of the beast these days. NBA needs to end max contracts so the elite players eat a bigger portion of the cap.

Wizards **** suck.

Hope someone absolutely fleeces them the **** over and gets Beal.

Would that someone have the initials D and A?

KD is probably looking at the league thinking "****, I can't beat AD, Lebron and *3rd max* with Kyrie Irving and f*cking Jarret Allen. I think I'll stay in Golden State!".

Kyrie is going to be left all alone. Maybe he convinces Jimmy to come. And that's when we all reach for the popcorn. :lol:

I suppose it could happen, but it doesn't fit his personality. Especially after leading Toronto to their first title ever with players nowhere near the caliber of LeBlah and Davis.

I would pay to be a fly on the wall in a Kyrie-Jimmy locker room.

If Kawhi joins Lakers, he loses my respect.

It would be terrible for NBA and would ruin what was shaping up to be the first season in about 10 years (since Lebron to Heat) that was truly wide open. And yet, I can’t imagine anything else happening. Why wouldn’t Kawhi join LA Lakers? It’s what NBA players do. It’s what Durant did.

Kyrie would be an utter fool not to join Lakers himself. How can he go to Nets with Durant and relive the past 2 years in Boston? Play a season without Durant, get unreal expectations for his return and then suffer through a season where Durant can’t guard anybody and is 70% of what he used to be on offense? Crazy. And he wants to make movies.....imagine the doors that would be open to him after a season of Showtime in LA.

Kyrie and Kawhi are different dudes but it’s too much to expect both to make crazy decisions. Get ready for the new Big 3 in LA.

Can’t decide how much impact this will ultimately have.

The finger twirling motion might cause some confusion.

At leasst we won't feel as bad about not trading all our picks and brown for 1 year of Kawhi.
