Lol, comments like this never cease to amaze me.

People are short sighted. This is a MASSIVE decision for Kawhi, taking his time makes sense.

I see it the other way around. The longer it takes the more it’s likely he is going to the fakers but I agree with you on the clippers. They have a better roster top to bottom.

Whichever way that it does go, the Raptors are the losers here...

Wonder what they will do if he dosen't come back?

Whats their plan "B"?

Honestly, he becomes my new favorite non-Cs player if this is the case!

Him taking his sweet, sweet time would work to his advantage if he does want the Clippers. Handcuff the opponent....

Conspiracy theory: maybe Afam is Kyrie and he's been on the forum all along.

With Kanter's size, we can at least be functional. But man do we need a wing for big trade.

Hmmm... the longer he takes, the longer the three teams mentioned have to wait to fill out their rosters.. thats good for any other contenders IMO...He can take all summer as far as i'm concerned!

Plus unlike Kyrie and Durant, he hasn't been planning his move months in advance. :lol:

I know the odds are low, but if Kawhi signs with the Clippers, after all the good free agents sign leaving the lakers with the Morris twins, I'll lose my **** laughing.

Magic. Unused cap space: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1864905

Seems like a loophole. Dunno if it's legal.

If we found that out then surely we are signing Looney with that money right?

That was my sneaky guy, he played well against the C's in the playoffs. Stepped up for the Pacers when no one else would or could. Would have been a nice get for Danny, but it looks like he's ring chasing. Don't blame him.

BillTheGOAT · Post #1335 » by **BillTheGOAT** » Mon Jul 1, 2019 9:37 pm

Best bigs still on the market

Looney
Jordan Bell
Cousins
Pachulia
Muscala
Howard? If healthy

I don't know about anyone else, but rooting for the team that seemed "destined to win" and ended up being flawed is a lot less fun than knowing this "flawed team" is going to surprise us in ways we aren't expecting. Just a great couple of days.

Or we could've gotten that 1st round pick w/ Mo Harkless.
So I guess I'm missing something and my brain is fried.
Otherwise, we'd be using it by now.

Just enough to sign RFA WCS away from the Kings...
