I’ve been thinking it was gonna be this for a while and with KD going down with his injury Kawhi was the first person who popped up in my mind who could relate to him.
All this Nets/Lakers **** is just for show and for the weak to get intimidated.
It’s down to the Clippers and us wherever KD & Kawhi are going, the Raptors are out the picture for Kiwi.
While I'm really hoping you're right, I can't figure out why, if that truly is their master plan, Kawhi wouldn't just do a 1+1 with TOR while KD signs with the Knicks in order to hedge some really bad odds with Durant's achilles.
Unless he just doesn't want TOR bottom line.

Knicks been quiet the whole time and their plan is Kawhi and Kd from day one.

Assuming you knew that we weren't going to get any of the top tier free agents this summer, what, if anything, would you do differently if you were Perry/Mills?
Magic underpaying for Vucevic. We offer 4 years at 120 mil. Hes young and talented and the magic aint going nowhere. He would get a LOT of recognition in MSG.

We don’t like him for the Knicks

Free agency:
Go after the following players and keep the contracts to 2 year maximum even if that means paying more on a per year average.
Julius Randle: efficient scorer and rebounder with poor defense that hopefully Mitch can help cover up.
JJ Reddick: veteran sharpshooter to help keep defenses honest.
Pat Beverly: grizzled veteran defender to help set the tone of a young team- easy fan favorite
Deandre Jordan: great veteran and plus defender rebounder and finisher
Lineup:
C. Mitch Robinson/ Deandre Jordan
PF. Julius Randle/ Kevin Knox
Sf. RJ Barrett/ Kevin Knox
SG. JJ Reddick/ Alonzo Trier
PG. Dennis Smith/ Pat Beverly
To me this is a competitive team that is a real playoff team in the east, and has flexibility moving forward to be a player in future free agency while developing young core players. Let me know what you think.
but I see him going to a contender or just staying with Philly..

What will that core look like if they signed both Kawhi and KD again?

Lakers also have Lebron & AD though.
Lakers vs. Knicks instead of Lakers vs. Clippers might be a better storyline for their careers.

maybe we'll still tank and give kawhi a heavy load management year. would he really take a year off to wait for kd when he could win another championship next year. i still don't see it. would love to be wrong though.
