    We should all teach our children the following very valuable lessons: 1. when you are unhappy or want to be somewhere else, you should fake the severity of an injury and then go through 11 doctor

  • No, we want them to be consistent and not be hypocrites. I would prefer that they shut up and dribble, shoot, pitch, hit, tackle or kick but if you are going to be “woke”, don’t stop being woke only

I honestly did not expect Kawhi to milk it this hard. I mean, he doesn't owe the Lakers or Clippers a damn thing, but you'd think he'd feel some obligation to the Raptors to give them a heads up if he won't be back.

 

He doesn't owe any team anything. Yes, the Raptors franchise did well by him, and the Raptors fanbase worships him like a god now, but it's a business.

It's kinda funny watching Kawhi drag things out because the two teams he doesn't choose have fewer options to offset their loss in the Kawhi Sweepstakes.  

If Kawhi goes to the Clippers, he really hurts both LBJ and Magic the most --  not nearly as many other FA options are left for Lakers.

It's not even 72 after free agency started.  I wouldn't call it dragging this out.

I would call Kawhi a traitorous piece of shit though.

Need a Surly poll on Kawhi....

Which team should Kawhi choose??

(Which team would help Kawhi's brand the most??)

(Where would Kawhi win the most championships??)

Leonard can be the king of Canada or Lebrons sidekick. Toronto is a great city. Seems easy to me. But I guess the Lakers are still a major draw.

Yeah the Clips will be ok if he doesn't choose them.    The  Lakers will too honestly but they will have the most trouble filling out their roster.

Is kawhi a traitorous peice of shit?

Yes because no free agency discussions take place prior to the official start of FA.

^^  Ok, I guess that makes some sense

Is it league policy that every terrible contract passes through Atlanta at some point?

Six Degrees of Terrible K's thru ATL...

Is there going to be anyone left for the Clippers, Lakers, and Raptors to fill out a roster with once Kawhi makes a decision? The first two are going to have some money to burn if they don’t get him and a limited pool of players the longer this goes.
A lot of us are perfectly fine seeing the Lakers get burned and have to use their max money on spares...which is probably the right thing to do vs having a big 3 and the spares' spares for depth

No more Bobi and Tobi Show.   That's not good for the league.

Dang. Utah is looking stout.

if HOU gets all their top guys back, IMO still blast Utah just like they did.

Respectfully disagree. Mike Conley is going to be a difference maker for them.

It all started with Jon Concak. Man, was that a bad contract at the time!

15. Jon Koncak

Year: 1989
Contract: 6 years, $13 million

Paltry by today's standards, but here's some context: Koncak made more money that year than Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. Please direct your outrage to: ATLANTA HAWK$$$ 4 Ever Handing Out Shitty Contracts Boulevard, Atlanta, GA YRUSODUM

Conley can't stop the Rocket 3s. Besides, the dude is very overrated.

SMU grad, had some big battles with Hakeem in college.  Nickname was "Jon Contract".   A local ABC crew chased him in the Highland Park streets trying to get an interview, slightly less interesting than the OJ chase but still cool at the time.  I recall it being $12.5mil for 5 years / ie $2.5mil a year which was Warren Buffett money. 

 

still, baseball is the nuttiest

He doesn’t owe anyone anything, but it’s still an asshole move to buttfuck other teams’ year in free agency by dragging his feet when every other free agent had their shit decided and worked out by 6pm Sunday.

If he legitimately doesn't know where he's going yet, by all means, take your time consulting with your family/team. It's a huge decision.

But I get the feeling that he already knows, but he likes the attention more than his quiet demeanor would suggest.

He doesn't owe anyone...but you can still be professional. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt if not for the whole San Antonio debacle.

It will be replaced with the JJ/Luka/KP and Bobi show. Hilarity will definitely ensue.

He already knows he's going to LA, he just wants the perception that it was a really excruciating decision for him, to lessen the stigma that he's an autistic flake run by his greedy uncle.    

The plan has always been LA. Flame away if I'm wrong, but I'm not. He's wanted to go be Lebron's cuckold for over a year now.

 

PS Fuck Kawhi

 

 

 

 

 

His greedy uncle that has already cost him millions of dollars that he will never get back.

I've said from the start that all the visits he needed to take shows that the "he's not into all that flash" take to be false.

He got that New Balance money, and will be signing soon to wear Members Only exclusively. Advantage Dennis.

Based on everything we know about him, I can't imagine that he's flown up to Toronto to tell them in person he isn't going to play for them. If we know anything about this guy, it's that he has a severe avoidance to conflict and has the interpersonal skills of a banana slug. 

 

Wow, that was so bad I didn't even realize Josh Jackson was even in the deal at first.    Wow.    Didn't they trade up to get  Melton too last yr?   I know they were supposed to be really high on him.

Jalen Rose reporting 99% Kawhi is returning to Toronto on a 2 yr deal

man, you must be disappointed, but thanks for the news.  Good to see the NBA hasn't gone wild in the power imbalance and overall this is good for the Lakers as they get to sign some good players. Let it be true then!  Although wasn't KL on the LA Freeways today? 

lots of well dressed office workers abandon their jobs to wait outside KL's hotel right now in Toronto (they don't have a July 4th holiday btw)

This may be worse than flight aware during coaching carousel season.
