    Go ahead and buy your champagne; Kawhi is a Clipper.
    Not happening. Even Chris Carter was on First Things First slobbering all over Toronto and saying they're "in the driver's seat" to sign him now. Kawhi might as well just get it over with and announce that he's re-signing right now.

    The speculation was fun and all, but the Clippers will forever be the bridesmaid for big-name free agents until we win a ring - or at least make it past the second round of the playoffs for once. It wouldn't shock me if we were just being used as leverage by Kawhi's camp all along to try to scare the Lakers into making a big trade. Our front office needs to stop begging (sending scouts to watch all of Kawhi's games is cringeworthy in hindsight) and just keep building incrementally with young talent.

    Friend. You don’t leave SA for TOR. The plan is LA. Uncle Dennis see’s the backlash from what happened in SA. He’s playing the PR game.

    I still think he's a lock to go to the Clippers, but wouldn't be shocking anymore if he stayed in Toronto..seemed unthinkable before the season, but the way they've handled his load management and catered to Dennis at least gives them a real chance(along with the money)..

    It's just not that simple anymore. With the Raptors, he's an entire country's basketball hero. He's playing in the conference finals, which is already better than the entire history of the Clippers franchise, and he made it happen in historic fashion. If he's looking to build a brand, he has everything he needs right now in Toronto. The media was already starting to backpedal away from the Clippers narrative before Game 7. At this point, I'll believe he's leaving when I see it.

    This is true, Kawhi is probably the most difficult player to read in NBA history

    I think he'll be in LA due to the home factor, though..he's also commented negatively on the weather here several times..it's been the worst winter that I can recall and spring has been terrible, as well..

    He asked for a trade after the team reached the WCFs
    And then what? Did he out? Did he fake an injury? Did he hide from Pop and his mates? Huh?

    He got over it and the last 2 years played his ass off.. Like an adult. Number 2 acted like a High Schooler..

    Kawhi being a quitter doesn't change that Aldridge is also one, as well:lol for a much worse reason, too..

    Tim Duncan, David Robinson and Manu shielded the Spurs from the reality of dealing with superstar players and their demands..

    Excuse me? You think whomever is on ORL (their best player) and PHI (their best player) are better than Wade and PG? That’s laughable.
    76ers have plenty of talent.

    Sons, if it’s a lock that means there is no real chance. It’s a PR game. He’s gone.

    You didn’t answer the question. No one Kawhi has faced is as good as PG or Wade. That matters in the nba. PHI is a fine team; they aren’t anything special.

    Played in 75 and 81 games the last 2 years and made the all star team each season.. Quitter? The fact that he is not a superstar player does not make him a quitter.

    I honestly think Kawhi should sign with the Clippers. I mean it’s his home and he can be close to his family and LA is better than Toronto for sure. And that’s nice and all but I think just for basketball reasons alone he should sign with the Clips.

    Lowry is falling off a cliff. Siakim is good but easy to stop. Gasol is about as done as his brother. Ibaka reverted back to Grandpa Ibaka. Toronto doesn’t look all that good going forward.

    Meanwhile the Clips also got young talent, but they don’t have albatross’ for contracts and have another max spot available. They are also getting a new arena, so you know the home games will be hopping and an owner who will spend a fortune. Plus Jerry West. It’s actuakky become a great organization (can’t believe I’m saying that).

    No, the fact that he asked for a trade after winning 67 games is what makes him a quitter.

    Not around here. He asked for a trade, then changed his mind and played his ass off for 2 years. What are you trashing him for? He asked for a trade..

    Yeah, a ing casual would appreciate anything as long he is entertained, without caring that same team went to the ECF the last season, casuals like you.
    So I’m a casual because I like basketball outside of my own team? Yeah they they got swept and demar was mocked for it even here and by skip bayless who now did a complete 180 on demar after he had a spurs jersey on. I’m not going to be cultist like that

    Who cares?

    As long as nobody on the team is getting more touches than him.

    What are you trashing him for? He asked for a trade.
    Exactly that. Also, the fact tht he won't ever allows us to improve by making him the secondary offensive option that he should be on a team that has some sort of distant aspiration of contending.

    I don’t see any issue with loving the nba and the Spurs. I watch a ton of non-spurs basketball. If not full games, I watch large portions of just about every team.

    If anything I find that the "casuals" as far as bball knowledge are often the fans that only watch their team and don't care about anything else basketball wise.
