You know what would make it worse: Kawhi and Paul George both become free agents next summer if they opt-out of their player options for the 2021-2022 season.

Can you imagine if both of them decide to leave?

I mean the trade is brutal now, but Kawhi wanted George. You can almost justify it last offseason. However if Leonard bolts after this year, it’ll go down as one of the worst deals in any sport and it’ll send the Clippers back to the dark ages they’re used to.

He'll need MP Harris for that

yeah it is intersting...if Kawhi said I will only sign here if you get PG13 there hands were tied and Presti was smart enough to milk everything from them.

I mean does Kawhi want to leave so-cal? I know he is close to his mom and that where she lives. Where else would he go?

lebron can opt out at the end of 2021 too. maybe he takes less to squeeze kawhi in.

they basically have everyone expiring in 2021. i think he might take less to keep collecting rings. he'll be able to extend his career riding the backs of ad & kawhi and further cement his legacy. if he wins this year he has 4. he probably wants to get to 6 to match jordan.
