We know that when he plays the Lakers it will sound like his name is "Lou" Leonard.
I just wonder how loud will his name be echoed when he plays at home* for the Clipps

Story soon on ESPN: In a dramatic night of negotiations, Thunder GM Sam Presti leveraged the Clippers and Raptors in trade talks on Paul George. The Clippers ability to deliver an unprecedented pool of picks and PG Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ruled day. |
Lakers played like a drum. |
And thats why you always heard our name in the media, Kawhi's camp would have said to both the Raps and Clips, get PG or we go to the Lakers. We were never in it |
Sam presti and OKC turn out to be the biggest winner, and the draft record of Sam is awesome, so OKC will be back soon.
The fact that Kawhi asked both raptors and the clippers to trade for PG13 was a dick move. I think raptors would likely have to offer siakam and lots of picks. Basically kawhi used Lakers to pressure the raptors and the clippers into a bidding war for PG13, I am not sure any team should be happy |
You make it sound like he forced these teams to do (bleep) lol. These teams are more than willing to (bleep) anyone over for Kawhi.. Why because he’s a FMVP and champion and he’ll take you to the promised land. But they could just walk away any time if the price was too steep.. |

Called kawhi not going to the lakers on Jun 30th |
If it makes any of you feel a little bit better (misery loves company), Raptors GM Masai Ujiri is in shock (+Drake). He realized that he was played, and honestly believed that Kawhi wanted to stay in Toronto, right from the beginning of the season.
Masai's quick 1 twitter Raptor post summed up as "Thank you"; Drake went silent; Kawhi's sister posting Instagram like she's working for a funeral home (respect the dead).
Kawhi's game on or off the court is the same: "Take no prisoners".

Kawhi Leonard 'didn't like the Lakers' when he was growing up in LA
Kawhi Leonard spoke with Raptors’ announcer Eric Smith about who his favorite teams were while growing up in California, and his answer is a bit surprising. According to Smith, Kawhi stated that while his family members were Laker fans, he leaned in a different direction.
“I liked Allen Iverson. I was an A.I. fan. I didn’t like the Lakers.” – Kawhi Leonard |
Yeah, well Paul Pierce was a Lakers fan and we know how well that turned out... |

Looks like Jerry West has gotten a taste of his own medicine with Kawhi and Uncle Dennis - leaks that this duo was looking for a max contract, not a 1+1.
After the ransom the Clips gave up to OKC, the Kawhi camp altered it's contract demands to 2+1 (they had the Clips by their balls).
If Clips don't win NBA Larry in two years, their team will be gutted in all the draft picks given up, and OKC still reaping the rewards next 5-6 years.
IF PG / Kawhi went to OKC on max contract , they would have a power house for the next 5 years with all the young studs coming in (Clips would be really bad and give OKC great Draft picks).
Such is life Jerry! |

Seriously, PG / Kawhi going to OKC in 2 years with addition of draft capital / low salary cap = Powerhouse for duration of their max contract - Paul is excellent trade bait in February (contender) with 2 years / 80 mil left on contract (obviously gonna have to eat some contracts other way).
"Westbrook to Rockets for Paul, picks"
"The Thunder will receive the Rockets’ first-round picks in 2024 and 2026, as well as pick-swaps in 2021 and 2025."
"In addition to the picks, the Thunder received through their Paul George blockbuster earlier this month, they will have seven first-round picks lined up through 2026, according to Wojnarowski."
What if OKC GM Sam Presti" tells PG / Kawhi "keep your options open in 2 years <wink>"

Dear Santa, NBA Xmas scheduled to be Clips vs Lakers - A Bow with Lakers by +30 Please.
Signed Rap fanbase, Lakers fanbase, OKC fanbase, tier 2-3 NBA Free Agents that lost millions with less competition in the first week.
BTW, Merry Xmas Jerry!

This "masterpiece" FA / Trade scam, was set up prior to June 30th FA signings by Jerry West (+Doc Rivers) - high stakes poker at it's best.
Why would PG request a trade 3-4 days AFTER the FA period, where most teams wouldn't have the cap space / draft picks to execute the deal (no competition with the Clippers - see the pathetic attempt to appease Raptors)?
The "Kawhi reaching out to KD" is a smokescreen (deflect PG attention); the "Magic leaking" causing the trade to fall through (Jerry West still has a gripe with the Lakers?). Looks like Clippers were leaking to help deflect attention AWAY from them and punish the Lakers.
It was REALLY strange how quiet the Clippers were during this whole process, and we now know "Why" - They knew what was going down right from the beginning - It was like a poker player shoving all-in and then going completely still, to avoid giving away a "tell" so no one could "read' them.
Reported that Kawhi was at Doc Rivers Malibu home for 3 hours night before he met the Lakers / PG (next day).
Basically, Jerry West damaged one contender (delayed Lakers FA signings), and gutted the other two (OKC / Raptors) - 3 contenders in 5 days is not bad work.
This NBA commissioner seems weak so nothing will happen - If Jerry West could be tied to this then at least:
1- PG trade becomes void
2- Clippers loose at least half their draft picks & couple Million fine
3- Kawhi becomes FA immediately but can't sign with the Clippers (+Lakers +Raptors +OKC)
The Lakers and Raptors had ZERO chance of signing Kawhi in FA - they just didn't know - But the Clippers did!

Hindsight: 50K tampering charge is pennies now by the Clippers on Kawhi.
1 - Clippers target Kawhi from last year (clear cap / hoard draft picks)
2- Give Kawhi time to recruit 2nd star when FA opens
3- Fails and both agree to target PG (says Kawhi met w/ PG early in week)
4- Jerry advising how PG can force his way out of OKC
5- Jerry tells Kawhi to string Lakers / Raptors to keep PG asking price down
6- OKC tries to play off the Clippers w/ Raptors & Pascal but they have little assets
Had Kawhi been able to convince a 2nd star to go to Clips, this would of ended FA early.
Bottom line, is that Jerry West got the man he's been planning all along for the last two years. |

Quote: | Jail records list Williams as 6-foot-2, 320 pounds, and Townsel as 5-4, 195 pounds.
The Press-Enterprise reported that a doctor at Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar told the investigator that the fatal injury could not have been caused by a fall.
It would have required "a great amount of force, such as being pushed, thrown or punched by a 320-pound person," according to the investigator's notes.
The newspaper said Williams has prior convictions for petty theft, grand theft, misappropriating lost property, grand theft auto and attempted robbery, according to court records. |

With new information George wanted to go to Spurs with initial trade from Indy, Kawhi and George had really planned a whole lot to play together and played so many teams (Indy, Spurs, OKC, raptors, Lakers). Good thing we recovered, raptors and Indy seems to be ok. Wish nothing but the worst in their career for these two. |

And then followed up Cousins with picking up Dwight which has worked out really well so far. You’re the only Laker fan still upset about picking up Cousins. |
