Actually there’s not much to think about. The guy has won two titles already. He’s a big time basketball player that has shown he can win without two superstars. He’s gonna get paid. It’s two choices. Be your own man or go be lebroni’s lapdog along with Davis. Clippers have a lot to offer . Coach and west as a consultant. Nice roster . Why would he be afraid to face a guy that’s on the downhill of his career.

I'll choose to believe you don't actually believe this.

I have a homework assignment for you. Sit down and think about everything that goes into this decision for Kawhi, seriously.

You tell me? He wanted to go home. To Los Angeles. Either that or stay with the raptors . There’s not much to figure out. The more he wrestles with this decision the more i see him pulling a durant 2.0. He can build his own legacy or be part of a superteam lol.

Lol what? Leonard has two ships, two conference and two finals mvp.

He can do whatever he wants. This isn't Durant 2.0

Looks like he didn’t get any offers above the full MLE.. unless there’s some sign and trade scenario..

In my opinion it does. If Leonard stays with the raptors you could be looking at 8 teams that are potential contenders.

He signs the Lakers you're losing looking at them winning the next three or four championships.

Great. Out of all the teams, Leonard is choosing between lakers or raptors to play long term..

You never know with the logo, but with no other stars left to pair with Kawhi, I can’t imagine the Clippers getting him. Deathly afraid he goes to the Lakers..

I hope it’s a fake source. This dude is gonna go to the lakers if it’s raptors and lakers. I bet you the media won’t get on him like they did with Durant because of that big baby.

An even taller Henry Finkel... if he does make it he needs to take on Finkel's #29 if available..

It’s a bitch move. Off course it is. He has proven he can win championship without having a superteam so why be part of one? I think he should take a hit for it.

Sorry, I've out running around today and am behind. Where did the $11.3M come from?

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

SAC renounced him. WCS is now unrestricted

Ryan Anderson for a minimum contract anyone?

Lebron won't be as good 2 or 3 years from now. He's going to be 35 this year.

Please please be the Raptors. Has any team in NBA history had three top 5 (or 10 however you rank them) on the 1 team?

AD and Kawhi will still be in their primes though.

If you’ve signed a free agent, you’re signing free agents

He’s a god there. You don’t leave a place you rule to go be “The King’s” bitch.

The raptors roster is getting up there in age .

Lebron ain’t no spring chicken.

And if they sign Kawhi, their entire bench is going to be composed of veteran minimum guys.

You’re crazy. It’s gonna make his life easier with Leonard defending whoever. He’s gonna get all the credit off course. Lol
