OK guys, I have stayed out of this for a while now in terms of providing any info, but it's just getting so crazy today, this 5th day in the Summer of Kawhi. I have some legit, verified news and can lay it out for everyone as follows...

1) My ex girlfriend works at Chartright, which is right next to the North Lounge private terminal, and her office window basically overlooks the boarding area of the private jets.

2) I made a call to another woman friend who lives in the Hazelton. What some of you may not know is that the building is not all hotel, and there are private residences up the west side of the building. This Russian friend lives in two conjoined penthouse units - I did some cool lighting for her years ago and we have stayed in touch - and living there provides her full access to the hotel property and amenities.

3) Lastly, I have a business friend who does printing for trade. He specializes in what is called dye-sub printing, which is where the ink is basically printed onto and then melted into the fabric. In any case, he gets a lot of last minute and custom stuff because dye-sub does not require silk screens to be made, or to do quantity. With dye sub you can run one piece just as easily as 50 or 500.

4) I am friends with itbobby007, and I was one of his sources for the hotel meeting info. We used to share season seats for a couple of years. He invited me to be a mod here many years ago but I just can't handle all the arguing over players. He asked me to sign up and provide some info over the years as well, but I prefer to post on a secret, invitation only forum. It's basically a few dozen super smart, long term fans with deep knowledge, and I enjoy convos with people at that level.

So here is the info itself...

Kawhi is not on the plane. He is chillin' at the Hazelton as we speak, having been out late last night with Drake and the crew at Baro. This was corroborated by my ex, who was there this morning (she is one of these 5am early riser types - the reason we are not together any more). Anyways, she said the plane was mostly loaded with Home Depot boxes, plastic totes and a pink Cadillac Escalade battery powered toy car. Several people loaded it up, but only two people boarded the plane itself. One was an Asian looking dude, and the other - wait for it - was Fake Kawhi! He was wearing a Raptors Championship ball cap, a Clippers jersey, Laker shorts, and of course New Balance signature shoes. It looks like MLSE is going to troll the Lakers and Clippers by sending this Fake Kawhi to be spotted upon arrival at SAN (San Diego) airport. So what about the printing? I am told that a small batch of He Stay NB tees and longsleeves are being printed, to be worn later, and will be photographed in order to make his decision public. There will be no press conference or announcement, there will apparently be a bunch of digital billboards simply showing a picture of Kawhi in a He Stay t-shirt. That's it.

I have been a very close follower since before Day1 and have made contact over the years I don't know if a team has ever outwardly trolled another team like this, it's a little unbelievable to me, but that how it looks.

With several media members, some people near the team, some people around the arena as I have been to about 300 games over the years. I am known to some people involved with the team but I have never pumped them for info. You can believe this special secret insider info or not, it's no skin off my back. If any mod wants me to PM them with more info for verification, I can do that. I will also have a special PM with other insider info that would also be of interest. I will save that for later, though, maybe around 8pm once more of the Kawhi situation has been cleared.

These Kawhi Watch threads have been super entertaining, aside from the obvious wannabes and fakes like BDE. Such lame attempts at flinging poop against the wall and hoping something will stick. tsk tsk. I'm gonna just sit back now and enjoy reading for a while. Later dudes and dudettes.

First time I’ve been duped... dammit

Aren’t taxes in California way worse? I heard that somewhere.

If he is considered a California resident he would pay taxes in Canada and get a credit for that on his US federal income tax. But he would have to pay California state income tax because California doesn’t give foreign income tax credits.

That’s why he has an accountant. The numbers being quoted are worst case scenarios that the accounting firm would try to mitigate.

I swear not 1 single.person actually understands how taxes work. California has 1% lower taxes than Canada, did you know that? Did you know you're taxes are based off the income you make and WHERE that game is played? So 42 games are Canadian taxed, 42 would be California taxes assuming that's his home. Kawhi gets free food, free vacations, free houses, free everything. If people think that doesn't VOID the 1% tax difference, than you're dumb as rocks.

Not just that, he gets paid in USD and everything he spends money on in Canada is in CAD. Huge advantage due to exchange rates.

Man.. I have not posted in many many years, but I just wanted to add that I have a friend in the aviation industry who says a jet of that class could easily handle some passengers at those speeds. I wouldn't buy any of the assumptions this plane has to be empty.

You decided to come out of hibernation... to do this to us...? What the..

puhuaha.. sorry i've actually been lurking for the past 15 years (and even before that since I signed up with an account late)..
but i couldn't stay silent with people clinging their hopes to wrong information. that being said #hestay!

lol

ya like mlse gonna send a fake kawhi

[RaptorHooter]

How much would it cost for MLSE to send out a private plane to SD and travel back with kawhis family vs flying them out here the regular way? #doesntmakesense

$3800 per hour.....35k....about 2 hours of Kawhi payroll

[ThWilmesi]

Well I was always wondering why he did stay at all over 4th of July in Toronto basically so long. Anyhow i think now soon all the wait will have an end and we will know and then we can move on.

I feel pretty confident that Kawhi isn't a dumbass who would hire Chris Broussard as his accountant

Not only that, I'm sure he has a real, actual, competent accountant

*insert penis erecting gif*

They put Fake Kawhi on a plane? You're believing this?

[aselvana]

Someone gotta do the calculations based on the speed and time.

You use X as speed and Y as time.

You then use the derivative of the XY and consider the slope of the wings on a G550 that was at FL450.

If such that the G550 (X/Y-550/450)/(440x6-LBJ)+(440*6/AD)+plus factoring an easterly headwind and northernly tailwind = boardman stays in the North

quic maths HE STAY

[Howardeep]

This **** is epic

[MegiMK]

looking at the radar map...san diego is so far from la. hes pretty much in mexico and la is trying to claim him smh.

That's very much like saying all of us GTA residents would be "going home" to Sudbury.

[fbalmeida]

The average Laker fanboy American sports commentator's argument for Kawhi signing with the Lakers is that it allows Kawhi to accomplish everything he just did in fact accomplish this season with the Raptors.
