so Lebron or AD is going to be ok being the third wheel? Kuz is going to be happy being Mario Chalmers?

:usure:

I honestly don’t even look at that situation as a 1, 2, 3 but 1a 1b 1c type thing.

IF it had to be that way it’d clearly be 1. Kawhi, 2. AD, 3. Bron. Bron would get his Magic on and facilitate and get his points without risking inefficiency, AD would shut down the paint and provide points from there and everywhere, and Kawhi will be the primary scorer and defender a la Kobe.

I’m not sure how or why no one sees that, each guy covers the others weakness perfectly. :ehh:

Kawhi, don't be a cuck/beta to LeBron like D. Wade, Chris Bosh and Anthony Davis. Be your own man!
All this attention he's getting and his brand that's he's built up since winning the 'ship with Toronto will get swallowed and devoured whole by Bron' s brand and ego. No matter what he says now, when the season starts he's not gonna let another dude be the face of the team if he's on the roster. His Klaw brand will go from Coke to Coke Zero if he signs with the Lakers

He will never be the man in LA as long as lebron is around. And if they don't win it all next season he gonna tarnish his image and get all the blame. And rightfully so.

And I don't see them winning even if he goes there cause they will have no depth to the team. Toronto should tell him to kick rocks at this point. He didn't dominate in the playoffs like that anyway. That was team victory and they can replace his productivity with any other star player.


You serious ?

Lakers stans and bum ass kobe nutriders hate lebron with a passion, he'll never be the man in town.
Kawhi is from SoCal and nikkas are already running around calling him the savior

ya'll actually think Kawhi of all people care about people saying he took the easy route. :mjlol:
Even though he doesn’t talk, his brand is of utmost importance to him and his team. LA is huge for branding opportunities, but he would be a very distant second to the Nike/Lebron machine, so I really don’t see the point from that angle.

I can see him choosing LAL because he doesn’t want to carry a team but if I was him, I’d run it back in Toronto. Branding wise he would be huge up there and it’s the same team coming back.

This remind me of Lebron decision, everybody said he was going to the Bulls or staying with the cavs and only a few ppl said he was going to the Heat and out their reps on it.


Now everybody saying he going to the Lakers and only a few ppl saying the Raptors.
But of the 3 choices, the least amount of people are saying Clippers :whoo:

While that's true, the brand of the lakers itself would make things better for Kawhi. Lakers are the most popular basketball brand there is name one star to superstar that signed with the lakers that didn't become bigger. Sure if he stays in Toronto he will still be big based on bringing them a chip, but being in LA can make New Balance a powerhouse shoe name....

















okay I don't believe the New Balance part, but you get my point:mjlol:

I feel like this is the BS they were selling kawhi in the meetings. But realistically, LeBron is and will be the main guy until he retires. Its always gonna be "LeBron and the Lakers" . And furthermore what does this say about LeBron? The man almost won MVP over a 29 year old harden. There's still more gas in the tank, and he's just gonna fade to black in the background and give Kawhi all the shots/points? LeBron should want to beat Kawhi and get his revenge from 2014, not play along side him. Y'all Lakers fans just want the cards stacked so highly in y'all favor that y'all can't lose, in which case are y'all even really fans of the game anymore or nah???

Even when Kobe was recruiting stars, he still made it a point to be the main guy. Chris Paul, Dwight, Steve Nash, were never gonna outshine him and he knew it. Like have some pride Bron.

Are you saying to a fanbase that they should not want their team to be in the best position to win just for competion sake ?
