But does Kawhi want the drama though? Clips just have too much noise and Jerry West has a proven record. I do think joining Lakers is a better shot at winning but we are at our lowest point right now as a franchise. And I don't know anything about Kawhi other than he likes to be quiet. I just hope we can at least get a meeting with him and have an opportunity to convince.


You make a good point. First off, I doubt you have to be worried about getting a meeting with him. There's no one he denies that considering Uncle Dennis prefers us. I dont think Kawhi wants drama but I do think Kawhi wants to win. People seem to act like he just wants to be in LA and in a quiet situation. The Clips aint winning no fukking title unless they get Kawhi and KD. Kawhi/AD has a shot. But there's no word KD going to the Clips and is there a trade the Clips can make for AD? Why would Kawhi sign there by himself? Kawhi works so hard on his game it's cuz he's hungry for more rings. Teaming with Bron gives him a shot. Bron comes back healthy next year he's still gonna be a top 3-7ish player in the league. Going to the Clips by himself would be a waste but obviously if Clips manage to get another max guy that changes things

Magic needs to do the right thing and take a pic with Kawhi :mjlit:
If they get the sign that Kawhi is signing, I'd bet anything they'll try to trade Ingram to Washington in a package to get Beal.

Bron, whether he likes it or not, will make this team best if he's playing PF.

I already told y'all Bron sliding into that Ron Harper role :blessed:

If this team didn't make any trades this season, who knows where we'd be.

Fourth seed at Christmas. Scoring center with Zu, McGee and Chandler playing D. Svi getting more minutes. Everyone healthy.

Looking back, letting Caruso play backup over Rondo and a different training staff, it could have been Lakers-Warriors in the WCF.

Kawhi makes this team better on paper, but it would be another season of gelling.

Let some folks tell it him going to the Clippers gone make them an instant contender lol. Kawhi and a bunch of role players gone be contenders for a championship out West apparently.

What if the Lakers missing the playoffs was a power move by Bron and co in order to entice the Kawhis of the world to come join him this summer? :ohhh: It eliminates the narrative that you’re coming to be his “Robin” or that it’s “his team” because the addition of whatever star they get would be credited for them making the offs next year.

Sounds like something @Trojan 24 would suggest :ohhh:

What if @Trojan 24 was Bron all this time :ohhh:
