The Board Man Cometh!! Kawhi Leonard Signs 3 Year (2+1), $103 Million Deal

This is a good omen, I think. It's been nothing but silence from the Clippers and Raptors, while the media is feverishly pushing a Lakers narrative.

It seems too perfect for Kawhi to announce on the 4th of July that he will be playing for the red, white, and blue this season. 8-)

If this is what the Lakers consider being as silent as possible, I'd hate to see what they consider being loud.

So to sum it up:

The Lakers' meeting is over, and they can't stop telling the whole world how confident they are that he's signing with them.

The Clippers' meeting is over, and it's been total silence from our front office.

And of course, the Raptors have stayed quiet and avoided leaks too.

If Kawhi values trust and privacy that much, it's obvious which team he should cross off the list.

Cautiously optimistic even though I expect him to resign with the Raptors.

Kawhi coming here would significantly increase our chances of stealing AD next off-season. The Lakers can only surround their team with the bottom of the garbage bin at this point and will flame out in the playoffs, if they even get there.

Does he get paid by KL?

Wouldn't know, but he's near the top of his inner circle/advisors. I'd say he's definitely pro-Lakers...

That's... bold, to say the least. Not sure how I feel about this.

Lol, this is madness! Everybody and their mother has a different version... What a range.... We've got the meetings haven't happened yet, all the way to, deal has pretty much been agreed to, and everywhere else between.... :nonono:

Some of us should make our own "sources have told me" tweets and see if they end up being posted in the GB, lol.

Teams were supposedly told to keep quiet about the meetings, so maybe that's why he said it. Or maybe he's just confident, who knows.

Finally.

Someone with the confidence to not act thirsty for this guy.

Much more persuasive than calling him Michael Jordan.

This team needs a legit starter. If its not KL they have to find another and fast. They played hard and great in the last 2 months of the season but the starting lineup needs help.
