Woj: That 5-year, $190M offer, if it's not there for Klay Thompson Sunday, the Warriors can expect him to go out & take a meeting/meetings. One team he'd be very open to sitting down with is the Clippers. If they can sell Kawhi on a partnership with Klay Thompson, that's an appealing sell for any free agent. Kawhi: Toronto, Clippers & kept their eye on the Lakers. What number with the Lakers get to? Will AD give up the $4M trade bonus. This has been Raptors/Clippers race. Toronto sold him on health & winning. Those are priorities.
LOL No you won't. You're a LeBron fan (if I'm not mistaken?). Kawhi-LeBron-AD, you're gonna quit watching now?!
I see you replied to my post in another thread about this. So I can guess you really think the Lakers would just be a lock with Kawhi, because I don't think that's the case. Top 3 in the West. Not a lock. Injuries always waiting to happen.
Well that was the point of this season. Sometimes injuries happen. If KL signs with the Lakers that would be pretty terrible. I mean 3 top 10 players on one team. The Warriors only had 2 top 10 players. LBJ is getting old and KL and AD do get hurt. Also the warriors kept the Iggy who is a great defender and clutch shot maker. The Lakers will basically have 3 players.
Stephen A.: Toronto will granted an interview by Kawhi Clippers have been on Kawhi's radar As of last night into this morning, I got word the Lakers are to be taken seriously. They will be a team strongly considered. LeBron & Kawhi have a good relationship. Kawhi has worked out with Kobe. He grew up a Lakers fan. This notion they should be dismissed is wrong. Kawhi is strongly considering the Lakers. New Balance would prefer he be in LA than Toronto. Clippers have gotten nervous. Knicks might not even get an interview
Stephen A Smith on First Take - “New Balance would prefer that he (Kawhi) would be in LA instead of Toronto.”
This dude Spoiler: he just reported about Orlando and Vuc being close to a new deal an hour before Stein https://twitter.com/arye_abraham is saying the Lakers will recruit Kawhi hard, Lebron and Davis have been in contact with Leonard and Pelinka wants to have Kobe out there for the recruiting as well.
If NBA players are making life-altering decisions based on what their handlers and shoe companies want, the league is no better than the NCAA and all of its AAU corruption.
Nobody is doubting anything he is saying. But nothing he has tweeted is a clear sign that Kawhi is going to be a Laker. It would be dumb of the Lakers not to have LeBron and Kobe try to recruit Kawhi.
Yep no question, i just hope it doesn't happen. Fwiw though, i was always high on his going to the Clippers, but if they can't get another star i don't know...might be between the Lakers and the Raptors in the end.
Dude is definitely well connected and it seems like the Lakers are at least seriously in play for Leonard.
Rob Pelinka and Magic Johnson in a room together making a pitch?? Maybe these were the fireworks Thaddeus was talking about.
