Don’t think so, from my understanding these days gotta have kid enrolled pretty early, makes more sense/be far easier to sign them up then back out if need be opposed to vice versa.

Private schools will enroll any kid if you lay down the money and are famous and worth millions.. Leonards kids enrolled in private schools anywhere is no concern as that can happen in hours..

[jjgold]

If the clippers got a big-name player Leonard would go there

It makes sense to do it early. Doesn’t mean anything. Just cause you enroll doesn’t mean you have to go. Sure money gets things done but good schools fill up.

Being a school donor can open up doors.. If Leonard needs to do that he would, drop in the bucket for him.. He's worth millions and millions now..

Google copy and paste -

Kawhi Leonard has an estimated net worth of $30 million USD. He signed a 5-year $94.3 million contract with the San Antonio Spurs in July 2015. The contract is fully guaranteed and he will make an average annual salary of $18.8 million.

Bro, I’m not saying he couldn’t get it done late, obviously he could. Still makes more sense to have it done already than not.

I’ve thought all along he should stay on a 2 year deal then go to lakers once bron at the end. Just don’t think enrolling kids means anything, if it did he would have signed already.

[thomorino]

There have been a lot of signs Kawhi is staying in Toronto - showing up at games sitting in the front row with Toronto shirts on, registering car at the DMV, registering his kid at schools. Some of this was likely done before the Lakers opened up a max spot which it wasn't even clear was possible at the end of the season, but it would be an odd move to from having your own country to being on Lebron's team. It just seems like Kawhi has grown out of being in a system like he was in San Antonio and he likely wants his own team now.

[19th Hole]

Seems that Toronto has the upper hand.

[thomorino]

Lol at how dysfunctional the Lakers are - they have Magic running the recruiting process more than Pelinka and Magic isn't even in basketball operations - Kawhi has to see how dysfunctional the Lakers.

[thechaoz]

The East would be a much easier path ala Lebron.

Over 200 places said he'd never have to pay for a meal again/a uber ride/coffee/drinks.

It's not terrible to stay, plus the North seems like they actually want to win.

The clippers would be all his. 48-34 last year with a bunch of no name players who scrap. Front office super solid. It's a great choice for him. Kawhi come home.

Are you retarded?
No evidence he signed his kids up anywhere & anyone who tells you that the MTO is the DMV can readily be told to Fukk off.

[IBetYou]

If he's thinking what I think he's thinking it's a great strategy; penetrate up the Lakers' summer so that they can't get a 3rd star or even a handful of quality role players - while also creating more dysfunction within the Lakers by undermining Pelkinka, as noted above ^^^ - and then go back to the Raptors and repeat.

Lakers will be a tough team regardless, of course, but to think they could have got D.Russell -a perfect fit basketball wise.

jay 100% confirmed he signed up to school in forrest hill. i tjink its done he is staying

[thetrinity]

The longer the silence lasts the more likely he stays.

[cwnotorious]

best ever is purely subjective - however you wanna look at it

LeBron for me cuz he is the epitome of an all around basketball player. he does everything on the court at the highest level possible. plus he hit the genetic lotto - he is a freak of nature from an athletic standpoint and probably the most underrated aspect is his IQ & understanding of the game. he's once in a lifetime

Just cause he often passes to the open man doesn’t mean he can’t finish. I do think he hesitates going to hole at end of games to avoid ft line. Jordan is best ever.

That's because the GS D focused on him so he deferred to others like Kyrie. Did u see the effect he had on rebounds and defense in that game 7 ?

who says he can't? he's hit clutch shots before. just hasn't been on the biggest stages of his career. with all his NBA Finals appearances, he's def had the opportunities to seize clutch moments. his clutchest moment ever was a chase down block lol. but thats exactly why I love his game

Some awesome points in here and glad some others stepped in with real perspective thx men. I would venture to say his most clutch moment was scoring the final 25 points straight vs the pistons in game 5 playoffs. Also his game 7 elimination stats are outrageous, last year's bankshot at the buzzer to destroy the raptors was also nice

[mackave]

Raptors ain’t repeating if he stays

[JIBBBY]

Raptors ain’t repeating if he stays

Houston Rockets are probably the favorite right now IMO with the Warriors breaking up. They'll beat the Raptors with Leonard I agree.

Not totally convinced the Raptors even get out the East next year with some of those new free agent pick ups with some of the East teams.. The East just got alot better..

[Bluehorseshoe]

The longer the silence lasts the more likely he stays.

Bingo. You don't drag it out to torment the Raptor fans if you're going.

[Shafted69]

Drake made him an offer he can't refuse.

[Bluehorseshoe]

Drake made him an offer he can't refuse.

He's going to announce he's staying in Canada on July 4th because he hates America.

[navyblue81]

So if Kawhi lands in LA, this is like Lebron/Heat 2.0. Except this would be better. Why can’t Lebron just try and win with draft picks and mid-level FAs? Did that in Cleveland. You know his fingerprints are on these Davis and Leonard deals. He’d probably threaten to walk if they didn’t get done. After all, he does have a tendency to want his way and cry if he doesn’t get it.

HOUSTON ROCKETS?????? Jibbs this disqualifies you from talking basketball.

[kingdom]

He's not number one in clutch shots, it just depends how you define clutch shots, whether its last minute or last 2 minutes. Everyone knows Kyrie was the closer in Cleveland and Wade close most of the time in Miami. Lebron barely even scored a basket in the 4th quarter in the biggest game of his career, game 7 against the Warriors.

stats don't lie. it's been posted all over online and tv but i have no interest in looking it up. but he has more clutch shots than any other player in last 20 years including kobe and all others.

alright. took less than 2 minutes. here:

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2447467-nba-playoff-history-clutch-meter-the-top-25-late-game-players-in-recent-memory#slide0

Since LeBron came into the league in 2003-04, nobody in the NBA has made more game-tying and go-ahead shots in the final 24 seconds of playoff games than LeBron, who is 7-of-16 on those shots. His 43.8 field goal percentage on those clutch shots ranks the best in the NBA since his rookie season among players with at least 10 attempts. The league average is 28.3 percent on those shots.

[navyblue81]

Lebron has, and will in the end, have had more time in the NBA and has had more time in his prime. That’s what is going to ultimately make it hard to compare the eras of LJ vs MJ. If Jordan plays in 94-95 and plays a couple more years after 98, he could have walked away with 10 straight titles and better stats. If MJ even had eight straight titles, I don’t know if Lebron would be in the same sentence with him yet. But.....there was that baseball thing.
