Sources said Lakers deal was imminent and now he's backpedaling. He doesn't know anything.

besides Green & Ibaka - TOR had no finals experience
while Klay is a top tier player ; Iggy is FMVP ; Dray is a DPOY and Boogie is a mult-time all star
dudes aretoo hard for Curry
Take out Klay and tell me who on that list, in the 2019 version of themselves, can create any kind of offense for themselves or others?

kawhi aint some mid level player who actually needs to visit with teams and see what the best deal is. Kawhi commands top dollar in every single scenario so money aint the issue he'd need to shop around for, he should know what city he wants to play in or what team he'd like to play with depending on what his priority is. breh can do him, but i'm not buying that he doesn't know what his decision is, he's sitting on it

Where the Lakers gonna get "depth" from though? They only have 4 guys under contract and none of them is a point guard or center. If they had used the $32 million and midlevel exemption to sign some interesting combination of players to complement LeBron and AD then that might have been a great team, but anyone they would have wanted to sign ended up getting paid too much anyway.
LeBron + AD + Kawhi is dominant enough to fill out the team with ring-chasing vets at the minimum. 35yo LeBron + AD is too likely to run into injuries or fatigue to carry the team all season long when the rest of the roster might as well be vets at the minimum.
Apparently the Meeting is in Toronto
Which is weird, I thought THEY would meet Kawhi in LA.

Here's the facts
Reddit dude said Lakers deal was done. He's been right on some shyt, he's been wrong a few times. He obviously knows people, some say he's related to Buss.
Sources doesn't know anything.
Cris Carter might know if meetings are happening but that's it. He has no other insight.
Perk, same thing. He might know if meetings are taking place.
Bucher been all over the place on this.
SAS been all over the place on this.
Woj been pushing Clippers and has not backed off but he been pretty quiet. He's supposed to know more than anyone.
If not Woj then Shams is the next guy and he hasn't said much either recently.
Anything else is pure speculation.
I think if he was choosing Raptors he would have done it by now but that's just a guess.

You, the nikka with the quote and the nikkas that dapped you stupid as shyt. Public school failing nikkas. If someone assumes something that isn’t the same as saying they know for sure. Damn cats failing on basic shyt smfh.

He's never been a FA before. He's never had the chance to sit down with teams and see what they were about. I get that attention spans are short and we thirst for info but I think it's fair to give folks a couple days to make life changing decisions.
Why are you suprised a blind man could see he was getting maxed out.

yea ofcourse that’s expected. I’m saying the raps can’t say kawhi we will meet with you 2 weeks from now at our own convenience like the poster said.
Kawhi told them when he wants to meet with them.

They've offered rondo a vet min contract already, I see them getting Boogie with the MLE or scooping up Danny Green with the MLE if he wants to play with Kawhi still, then there's still a ton of talent out there to fill the roster with.... I still have money that Melo will be on the bench for the lakers too.

Slappin and clowning chumps for fun.
Exactly
If it was the Raptors I think he would’ve said something.
It was like the KD thing where he was supposed to announce his decision on IG,he wasn’t gonna have that big of an announcement/build up if he was going back to GS
Same thing here Kawhi not having this big build up to go back to Toronto,we could be wrong,but i highly doubt he’s going back to Toronto

Wasn't saying weeks... if they push the meeting to say Late Thursday/Friday for example and Kawhi announces his decision Friday night or Saturday... Contracts are already being signed on Saturday since the moratorium will be over
