It would be hard to see the media give Kawhi a LA Finals MVP over LeBron IMO

If Kawhi comes, NBA gotta have every game on national TV.
And I'll probably never be able to go to a game at Staples again.

Just wanna reiterate that if Pop was willing to trade with the Lakers this team wouldn't even be a possibility right now

Kawhi gonna get 2 weeks worth of free meals & tours of facilities, just to go back to Canada and sign a 5 year deal

Balmer better sell some more Zune stock and up his ante on the positive press.

Bucher said a couple weeks ago that Kawhi wants to be the guy who plays against Lebron, not join him, based on his appreciation for their rivalry going back to the 2014 NBA Finals.
The fact that he would even set up a meeting with them and waste his time is puzzling, if he were at all serious about those comments.
Or, maybe he’s reconsidered? We know KD’s changed his thoughts on these things, but that was over a longer time period.
Or maybe Kawhi’s mentality on the matter was totally miscast by Bucher?

Bron struggled last year?? I know the injury, but I wish I’d struggle and drop 27/8/8. Lol

Still can’t believe PG chose to stay on OKC. That will always remain a wild decision to me

He might just want to load manage all year round by home. Now it’s up to pelinka and company to make him choose them over LAC

Hell yea he struggled. 28-27 when he played. Didn't close winnable games early. The whole AD saga killed the chemistry. Failed to activate after the injury. Overall it was a nightmare year to start his tenure. Empty stats. Things looking rosy now but we not going to relitigate what took place last season.

That’s all on him with the roster they put around him and the the young guys? Nah don’t give me that.
I know you’re not a Lebron fan but Kobe, at lebrons point in his career, wasn’t going to be able to do anything with that roster either.

If you told me 5 years ago that they could potentially be teammates...

I could see the Argument for being the Prodigal son for the Clippers franchise & being the guy who finally made them successful especially while Lebron is there... that would be a great draw if he didn't just become the prodigal son for an entire country of basketball fans while also shooting down a dynasty in the process.
If he leaves Toronto (I still think they have the edge) i'm really not seeing many draws for him to go to the clips over the Lakers... This season just bottled up all the possible negatives his detractors would have to say
1) Lebron carried you.... I have won two titles w/o Lebron & actually got a FMVP against him
2) Your a system player... I won A Title as the clear cut best player on the team against The Warriors
3) You can't win w/o another HOF.... Look at the roster of the Raptors, i don't think any of them are going into the HOF
Outside of simply not wanting to play with Bron (which is very viable)... what are the clippers giving him that the Lakers aren't.

You also have to take into account they were 4th when he got hurt and missed the most time in his career. Came back and you could see he still wasn’t fully right.

Just Like Harrison Barnes ****ed up the league for 5 years.... Pop gotta get the blame for doing it for Another Five
