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.

they would have the room exception too. 2 years 10m. not sure who is left worth it.

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.

Won’t be three or four, but your only hope is to demolish their bench. That’s probably two championships which is terrible for us..sucks we didn’t beat them in 2010 and go up 3 on them.

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


LeBron's a freak. Plus you could take LeBron out of the equation and Leonard and Davis are more than enough to win multiple titles.

If he goes to LA, clearly he isn’t man enough to face the Kemba Celtics.

It's not OT, I'm still wondering about the same thing. I think Rich is holding his contract negotiations back to see if the Lakers sign anyone, which would be horrid for Morris cause as you wrote teams don't have that much money and a bunch of below average players got a very hefty payday. So Morris' talk of big money and stuff could go to waste.

Kawhi really does control the balance of the league.

He’s gonna get Durant hate if he signs with the Lakers.

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.

I rather he go west and open it up for the east contenders. Just like you saw with GSW anything can happen once you get to the finals! Go west Kawhi and see you in the finals!!!

As is, they are the only team in the league with two true superstars (superstar being a legitimate MVP contender). Been a long time since anybody had three superstars. Probably 80’s Celts/Lakers?

Decent logic, btw. Chemistry issues and injuries do happen.

I don’t want Morris anywhere near this team.

Haven’t we been tortured enough for two years?

Leonard will do the dirty work by defending. Lebron James has played so many minutes it’s amazing that the guy hasn’t slowed down which is puzzling. This big 3 will go on to win the next two nba finals and a possible 3rd.

I dont want Morris. I want a role defensive player. I want to see what Hayward, Tatum and Brown do with more usage.

FFS, what a farce. They had a brilliant season, did everything right and ruled out....

Should had offered uncle Dennis a FO position. Balmer is not as smart as I thought.
