**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[pmatic]

Because he's not a free agent until 2020.

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Can you sign a 5 year deal with an opt out after 2?

What's the opt out rules?

 

[pmatic]

Opts out only granted the year before a year the contract expires.

 

[B Sox]

Nah. After his injury and the injuries in the finals. The primest option is to just take all the money now.

He'll still only be 29 next summer when free agency hits. He's getting a max bag no matter what.

I think he wants to run it back with Toronto for a year now that he won, but doesn't want to be there long term.

Kawhi could lose a leg and someone is still gonna offer a max in the next 4 years

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

2020 free agent class is trash. No point in that wait and see approach IMO. Raptors are as good as they can get

No.

He's probably going to do the 2+1 or 1+1 since he's 2 years short of 10 years of service which will bump him up to 35% of the max instead of 30% now. Like KD even barring a devastating injury he's still getting a bag regardless so why not exercise his power and leverage.

I think he's signing a 3 year joint in Toronto after reading this

Opt out after year 2 and get that Supermax bread back after the cap spikes

 

[N41D]

I’d guess Kawhi does a 2+1 and re-enters the market in ‘21 with Giannis.

 

[P C H]

There’s no reason to wait if Kawhi is resigning in Toronto. He could literally do it right now

That tells me that he’s still deciding.

 

[B Sox]

I think he does a 1+1 with Toronto then signs long term with LAC next summer.

Unless he just hates being in Toronto, which seems unlikely, this seems like the smartest move for him, kind of easily.

These are facts

 

[SneakerProSr.]

That was my guess too until I saw he hits the 10 year threshold in 2 years.

He's signing a 2+1 next week no matter what team he signs with

 

[P C H]

goddamn right

look I don’t know where he’s signing. He could resign in Toronto. I don’t have a clue.

But the truth is

No one else does either. It’s all speculation

The truth also is that he could resign in Toronto right now if his mind was already made up. You believe your girl wants to be with you but instead of fully committing she entertaining other ****** despite the fact that she already gave you the world

 

[N41D]

Doings 1+1 doesn’t do anything for Kawhi since it still doesn’t get him to 10 yrs.

You forget PG put a whole production together last year under the guise that he was still 'deciding'. He still has to opt out to sign a new deal regardless. Him not committing today doesn't mean his mind isn't already made up. You bout to get ya feelings hurt.

 

[atlsfinest]

This y'all GOAT? Making fun of homeless people?

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Before I saw the numbers I thought Kawhi would be leaving money on the table by leaving.

Now see its pretty much the same money dude is only making a lifestyle/basketball decision.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

He actually can't sign with Toronto right now even if he wanted. Free agency hasn't started yet

He gets double taxed in Toronto. He'll make more money pretty much anywhere else

imo that lends to favor LAC, just because TOR getting old af

Lmao I’ll be alright. I literally think there’s a real chance that he’s resigning in Toronto I just don’t think a decision has been made yet

You want it to be one way so that you can dunk on ****** if Kawhi resigns when literally no one has seriously 100% said he’s coming to LAC. Stawp

I’m out the predicting business after CP3 lol
