Kawhi being third fiddle is the biggest load of shyt ever. Coming in off a championship as the younger player he’s signing if he is the lead guy which is what I think is going to happen. Kyrie wasn’t a good fit for LA, why leave all the defensive responsibility to AD? Not to mention, Kyrie is a mercurial character whose already clashed with LeBron before. Y’all would’ve been in here giggling like schoolgirls the moment that flat earth nikka start something.
Meanwhile, New Balance is plugged in with the Lakers via AEG (part Laker owners) so there’s already incentive to get Kawhi to the Lakers and used their global brand for maximum exposure. Plus if we’re being honest what gets more exposure and makes a bigger splash, a nice story in Toronto/clippers or joining the top brand in sports and forming one of the great trios in sports history? I think you know the answer to that question. If Kawhi wants to cash in and strike while the iron is hot then the Lakers are the only sensible move.
Remember, raptors have had one full year to prove to Kawhi that they the one. He’d be signed by now if he didn’t have one foot out the door already. Hell maybe I’m all the way wrong, but all logic points to the Lakers no matter how much y’all don’t want it to. If he goes back to Toronto then they won his heart and the Lakers couldn’t. I’ll tip my cap to them.
