If he signs a 2 year deal with the lakers, what would be the most they could offer him to resign as a 10 year vet? _________________ I hope they understand that I really understand that they don't understand... |

Kawhi will be a Clipper.
Kyrie will be a Laker.
LA will be Champs. |

Lakers need to take a page from Warrior's recruiting of KD and tell Kawhi that Lebron/AD will fit around him. The narrative that Kawhi being 3rd fiddle needs to stop. Kawhi would be 1st fiddle as he most recently accomplished the most (Champion, Finals MVP, 9th in MVP voting).
Load management will be easily accomplished with 3 superstars
Kawhi (27) and AD (26) are the future of the Lakers as Lebron closes out his career.
Lakers are loyal to their superstars (Kobe) whereas Clippers lie to them (Blake being told he's a Clipper for life then traded).
Lakers have a stronger brand (partner with New Balance sponsorship/Lebron help get his logo back from Nike) and fan base (refer to Dodger fans booing Blake and CP3).
Lebron and AD can take media attention away from Kawhi if that is his preference. |

Yes the Lakers can make a winning case to get him, but whether he'll choose them is another matter.
As for him going to the Clippers, I used to believe that, but I don't anymore. I'm believing that it was a rumor planted by Balmer/ employees that Kawhi grew up as a Clippers fan.
Now, with the word out that HE asked to meet with Jeanie and Earvin, I have a lot of confidence that he wants to play here. |

LA means Lakers.
Clipper fans are the silly underdog carpetbaggers who cheer for anyone but the Lakers. Their joy will always be schadenfreude over excellence. Clippers are not LA. Somebody tell Kawhi. |
