A King and an Empire: The Official GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers 2018-19 season

[O.T.I.S.]

Kawhi 28 and needs load management (20 games)

No one wants to believe it, but Kawhippen joining up with Bron/AD will help extend his career

And AD is like 28 with zero rings, no real post career, and injury prone but everyone seems to think he’s our new savior

Bron literally has like 1 year left as well

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Pippen shyt aside this post is on point. As a fan of his I really want him to play as long as possible. If he has a degenerative condition why risk shyt? Don’t choose for other people’s sake, make sure you make this shyt count cuz you only get one career.

He can’t be as degenerative as AD....

I honestly think he’s already picked us and is just making it seem like a close decision to not make it seem like he’s just hopping onto a superteam but rather that the Lakers provided real compelling reasons.

Kawhi got 1 where he wasn't asked to carry the squad.
Got another one with everything falling in his favor and reports are that is WHY he's looking at the Lakers. Cause he's not the kind of guy to physically carry a team year in and year out being the only superstar.

When Kyle Lowry really breaks down I expect Kawhi to be at risk of breaking down as well.
He's not Bron or Kobe type...imo

AD and Kawhi both need each other.

more likely his uncle and NB are trying to convince him to go to the Lakers and he doesnt want to play on a superteam and they are delying his decision hoping he changes his mind.

He was literally begged by Pop to carry that squad


And then he did it again in Toronto although injuries to GS helped..

AD DEFINITELY isn’t a guy to physically carry anyone if Kawhi isn’t

AD has had Rondo, Cousins, Holiday, etc., so lets not act like his team was complete trash either and dude is rarely healthy a full season

And Lehelp only carried one team by himself and still lost

 

[2stainz]

all 3 of them can rotate and take 20 games off each

He was begging Pop to carry the team and he still played 9 games the following season. This past season he played just 60 games and the Raptors record was still good without him. Kawhi reps mentioned that the load management shyt is why he played so well in the post season. Even then he was slowing down against a Durant less Warriors squad.

Its not about what you've done, but what you can do going forward. A lot of people would bank on AD long term. Cousins was injured by the time the Pels faced the Warriors back in 2018 and he faced a KD led Warriors squad.

There is real risk with Kawhi going back to Toronto and suddenly the squad is just tapped out. Think Dirk with the Mavs after winning the championship.

Again they ALL can help each other.

**UPDATE 9:40pm**..Kawhi and his family are watching the firework show. Kawhi is not impressed with the show sources tell me.

 

[EBK String]

Nah

They would have made a big deal and announced it on the holiday if he was coming back to America.

 

[ALonelyDad]

If he is still in Toronto, I am assuming he stays

 

[jay211]

Yea, he probably heading back to Toronto. Because it's strange he spent 4th of July in Toronto. And his Uncle's b day is tomorrow, and they still in Canada.
