Healthy Kawhi is still very much a game changer. Completely understand Clippers wanting to move on from him but he should have much, much more takers than Toronto.
I’d rather pay Kawhi into his late 30s than 99% of the large contracts on a lot of those eastern conference playoff/play in teams...
KAT was in foul trouble in 2/5 nba finals games.
Losing an elite backup 5 would be a huge loss.
$20 mil annually I probably wouldnt match.
Anything around $15 he’s undoubtedly worth that.
Yea he’s clearly the issue, which is unfortunate.
None of the contracts that are going to push them over the threshold are negative assets.
So the path forward is dead simple - Run it back and just dump whoever off the bench for 2nd rounders this time next year.
No reason for the Knicks to not go into the apron for just one season.
None of the penalties will hurt them, they already have backups at every position + guys they’re still developing.
This is the chain reaction that was started by acquiring Rudy. You knew KAT’s days were numbered, and here we are today.
Looking at the current roster, Ayo’s slashing becomes critically important now but they’re still going to be heavily reliant on the 3 ball.
Becoming a higher variance team...
He mentioned in the exit interview that they needed rim pressure. Points in the paint is a priority, which is the right read.
You have a shot at a guy who is historically great at that, you not only whiff but the offer leaked now your locker room is fractured :lol:
I have no doubt that Ainge...
