Kawhi free agency - I'll be very surprised if he stays in Toronto............

[DavidGoliath5003]

Kawhi wanted to sign w the clips all along. He only dragged it out so they could complete the trade for PG13. the Lakers and raptors were set but he still spurned them.

Ahh no, the Westbrook, George trade was proposed to Toronto first however Masai Ujiri was not willing to to deal Pascal Siakam and Van Vleet... thats what OKC wanted. George was willing to go to Toronto. The thunder Leveraged Tor and the Clippers against each other... ultimately The Clippers gave up a historical amount of picks that TO couldnt even come close to matching... if this was a year later Toronto Would have 75 million in cap space as Lowry,Gasol, and Ibaka come off the books.

It might pay off for the Clippers, if they win one title.

is so Ujiri gave away a 3 peat opportunity. Westbrook, George and Kawhi and add lowry, gasol, and ibaka? there is not a team that could compete with that. mortgage your future for a present that solid. now he is in rebuilding mode and there is no kawhi type trade as this team will grow old. he would have been a legend for not only keeping kawhi, but adding two all nba players as well for fvv and siakim.

George and Westbrook have huge salaries so they would have to deal Gasol and Lowry probably to get salaries to match, Siakam makes nothing. So the team would be better than now, but not anywhere as good as last year and they would have to give up like 4 #1 picks. Westbrook basically a team killer might get benched for Jeremy Lin.

Yup. we'll see if the mantra "defense wins championships" is still true.
