He never did or does.

Chris Carter just said yesterday Kiwi is having a meeting with us. Now I don't personally believe he's coming but Woj been looking silly as hell with the Laker hate lately. Now I feel like the chances are better with Kawhi now that Woj made this proclamation.

Chris Mannix, who is often wrong, also is saying Kawhi to the Clips. All I need now is for Rick Buecher to say it and I’ll be ready to officially declare him a Laker.
 
Outside of Kawhi just not wanting to play with Bron there is little reason for him to go to the clips over the Lakers. More than likely he signs a short deal with Toronto.

Well I mean Wherever Kawhi goes, given his health history, are we even sure he’d want a short deal? I know for tenured max purposes, but it’s always risky play with that.

You could also argue that the clippers have
Better ownership. Literally the biggest competitive advantage in sports
Better front office
And if he wants to come to la and not be the third banana, the clippers provide that
They also have a clean cap sheet next summer should they decide to pair Kawhi with another star next summer

There’s only “little reason” to pick the clippers over the lakers if you’re looking at it through a Laker centric lense

I AM NOT SAYING KAWHI IS GOING TO BE A CLIPPER :lol: HE COULD BE A LAKER I DO NOT KNOW

I'd rather have CP3 on my team than James Harden. The Beard would be sitting at home next to Melo because the Rockets have no chance of winning a championship with him.

And Piss Paul couldn't get out the 2nd rd during his entire prime. Harden a perennial choker but he's much better than the doughboy.

Bruh, there’s some people on here who seem to have had Laker-centric LASIK surgery...that’s the only lense they know...
 
All three situations are somewhat different. The Miami win was a borderline fluke where the refs decided to give them the championship in a series they would have lost. Dallas basically shed their entire team after winning, MLB style. Toronto was a surprise winner but they have a much smarter GM than Dallas did, and they were a top team all season. That said if they lose Kawhi obviously they’re taking a major step back.

I just feel like Gasol and Lowry got the chip off their shoulders and feel like they have nothing else to prove. They can coast for the rest of their careers like Dirk did.

I feel like they will chill this offseason and be out of shape
 


Good luck moving that contract


Meh if he’s gone he’s gone! New GM is Daryl’s boy and Daryl has come out and called out Wiggins saying we know what he is by his third year and he won’t get better so my guess dude wants to move him. As a fan he’s done nothing to honestly stay. The moment Thibs and Jimmy left he should’ve WENT OFF and he didn’t and I don’t have any faith in him. For me this season was can Ryan and this new staff get anything out of him. Okgoie was more entertaining to watch on the court last year.

My guess they want to make a play for with Dlo or whenever Booker wants out of PHX. I’m sure someone out East will take on that contract. Good luck Wig!
 
There's no doubt the Clippers are a better situation than the Lakers for Kawhi. Mans is the best player in the world and represents the balance of power in the league. The fact that the Clippers don't have to gut their team to get him is paramount. They'd be Raptors West. Really the Lakers only advantage is the spotlight that'll be on them cause even if Kawhi goes to Ballmer they'll be a distant afterthought in the city at least. But hey that fits Kawhi's personality.

Still think he's staying in Toronto, but I'm down for the long overdue hallway series.

Piss Paul won more playoff games before Age 26 than AD did, though.
 
The clippers were stacked for several years and would get bounced the first round like clockwork. NO was and is a trash team
Chris Paul won more playoff games with Charlotte/New Orleans than AD did. :lol Second best player was David West, so yeah.
