AEG guy

Lakers at this point haven't heard anything more but are eagerly awaiting a potential decision today. While not sky high, internal confidence is still the theme in terms of how people are feeling about the situation. Lots to look forward to!

Also I just clarified: Lakers were not told explicitly there would be a decision today... but they just expect it for the same reasons as everyone else.


He plane watching like the rest of us now

Tomas Matt announcement or Mitch Marner


Raptors press conference today would be bad news.

They cannot announce him signing until tomorrow but they can announce that he isn’t returning.

Bankai wrote:ESPN is clearly pushing Kawhi to pick the Lakers today, because they arent not looking out for Kawhi's interests, they are looking out for the Lakers interests. And its in the Lakers interest to force his hand today or they are kind of screwed about losing Cap Space.

Dont give in Kawhi, look out for yourself! Take 2 more Days if you have to!

I just don't understand this strategy. I get that it's in their interest that he sign with the Lakers, but what do they expect to happen here? Kawhi's not gonna change his mind at the last minute because he doesn't want ESPN to look stupid.

Josh Goldberg on fan590 talks like a 13 year old girl. Those annoying inflections.

Why San Diego and not LAX?
Why can it be something like pick up Kawhi's sister and rush back?
Why drop Kawhi off only?(OK, this could be part of pitch, round trip)


San Diego is Kawhi's home. His gf and 2 kids and maybe Mom was in SD bc they weren't with him when he arrived in Toronto earlier this week.
