Apparently they are going to sign Kyrie, Thompson, Kemba and Leonard. They will sign everyone. That’s what I keep reading.

There’s no way he goes to the Lakers. If Leonard plays with James I will laugh and laugh and laugh.

I think its been known all along that he's really only considering going to an LA team or staying in Toronto I don't think anyone else really has a chance. So if those are the options that are appealing to him, of course you can say he is considering the Lakers, Clippers, and Raptors. I don't think you can say he is considering anyone else. I also would imagine that the Lakers would be the dark horse in this situation and really would have to blow him away in order to get him to sign with the Lakers.

Lakers just doesn't make sense to me.

Kawhi who isn't a fan of media and hoopla is going to sign on to the Lebron Circus. LOL yeah right.

Also, I am sure the reigning Finals MVP would love to suddenly take a backseat to Lebron while Lebron dominates each possession and Kawhi is relegated to a super 3 and D guy.

This is the last show before June 30th

Lakers and ESPN's weird obsession with that organization is annoying. Fox Sports too.

imagine a plausible scenario in which stephen a smith had access to Kawhi's thinking on this subject.

For it to happen, Lebron will have to humble himself and in the meeting clearly tell Leonard it's his show

I can't see Lebron doing that, but he did give up his jersey # to AD - clearly trying to signal he is "welcoming" to new stars. So maybe he is going to put on the humble act to persuade Leonard to sign, then rack up the chips and take the glory after the fact. Lebron is nothing if not calculating.

I see it as the opposite, Kawhi AD and Bron is a guarenteed championship. On the Clippers they'd basically be neck-and-neck, with Lakers having the edge if they sign another max player like Kemba or Irving.

There was a report before about Kawhi not wanting to play with Bron but who knows if that's true.

Neither team makes sense but knowing Kawhi, but Lakers makes a hell of a lot more sense than the Clippers considering with the Lakers they’re locked for the finals.

Not just to you... It doesn't make sense for any fanbase in the NBA besides Lakerfans.

Trade Lebron or I don't care. I want to see Lebron and Leonard compete against each other. Not team up.

Kawhi is way too smart to fall for that crap.
