**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[N41D]

Kawhi has a chance to boost his own legacy off LeBron's back tho. First to win a chip with 3 teams along with Bron. First to win finals MVP with 3 teams. Potential to win 3 or even 4 straight chips which Bron has never 3 peated. You have to either retire like MJ or reload the roster around you like LeBron to even have a chance to win 3+. He could be the only man to 4peat in the modern era

Kawhi doesn't need to piggyback LeBron to cement a legacy though. He ain't AD or Bosh or Kyrie and can't win **** by himself.

Didn't Westbrook throw some crazy party and PG announced on some 3 part special he was staying?

Steve Kerr won 96,97,98,99. Put some respect on his name

 

[BIG FISH]

Not really sure what else Toronto can pitch him on lol
They did everything right this season

 

[abubakr shaheed]

lakers fans have flipped the switch since the AD trade, shirts off everyday

ii just dont see why anyone would want to play for the clippers over the lakers lol. its not even close.

Thats kinda the point... the narrative with Kawhi wouldn’t be that LeBron carried him

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

ALL THIS

Not saying he will do this even though a ton of haters will be reading this like thats what was said.

This entire scenario gives Kawhi the best CHANCE to do all this.

Lebby retires and all that money goes to another top talent or spend on quality role players, they are right back in the drivers seat with AD and Kawhi as a duo

Exactly. It just makes too much basketball sense. Clippers don't have a chance in hell. Lakers can provide him with every opportunity to do whatever he wants on and off the court. Even tho his career numbers wouldn't touch Jordan's, winning 5+ chips in that fashion would put him in the convo

Yup Russ had a party in OKC that started the second free agency opened and he announced he was staying

[elpablo21]

I wonder if he's genuinely happy.

Sounds more like a scorned lover cheering on the new guy while he claps his ex wife cheeks.

He gets to go back to the movies on Sunday

I think he's legitimately happy

 

[Jokegeta]

Melo to the Lakers?

 

[MVP]

Kawhi would be the best player on the Lakers.
Everybody in this fanbase saw how Bron struggled last year.
I don't think the narrative would be one of ridicule for Kawhi or he's jumping on the bandwagon. Bron needs Kawhi much more than Kawhi needs Bron forsure at this juncture.

Plus after Bron hangs em up he and AD can still dominate.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It’s gonna be weird watching ALA turn on Leonard

 

[Mike dunleavy]

Bron was playing with bums last year

 

[Deleted member 170883]

dam kawhi is only 27 league fcked for another 6 years

 

[frink85]

Yup totally agree. That's why I said he could've shut down any rumors/speculation, but him looking into other teams looks like he wants to go elsewhere. Perhaps he has similar feelings to Lou Will about living in Toronto also (basketball aside)

Did Lou expound on this? I’m assuming it’s the weather but is it really that worse than say, Detroit? Or is it something us ‘Mericans don’t know about

 

[ballinsam23]

Bron even thirstier than I thought.

 

[MVP]

Whole organization midas whale disband if this goes down.

 

[freeze]

how? now we rocking throwbacks like Fab in the 00's

 

[tay1]

I can't see Kawhi coming to the Lakers as much as I would love for that to happen. Only reason I could see him wanting to do it besides the obvious is because he doesn't want to do it all over again by himself and wants to be in a San Antonio like situation again .

 

[niceshoes247]

Bron even thirstier than I thought.

We want all the drank!

 

[lawdog1]

He did expand a bit. Just stuff about the inconvenience of living part time in another country. Different TV channels, having to get a Canadian bank account, etc. Just small stuff that adds up to make you miss home:

Magic a Billionaire Who's had success in damn near everything he touched... I don't think he gives two ****s about the Lakers FO Job. He's Teflon amongst Lakers fans even with his **** ups.
