      Kawhi holds the balance of 2K in his hands.

      3 years if having to back out of Warriors match ups has finally ended, here's hoping the Lakers dont take their place.

          They're not even allowed to announce it even if he did sign.

          Some are saying it's a WNBA announcement with a team coming to Toronto.

            Here's my take, and I reserve the right to be wrong, off base, or whatever.

            Klaw stays in Toronto this year and then (maybe) goes to the Lakers next year.

            I feared all along that Toronto would come out of the East and beat the Dubs, and my worst fears come true. Yeah we had injuries, but so did they (see Anunoby). IMO, they're right back in the Finals next year. I can't see anyone stopping them barring major injuries.

            So why should Klaw go to Lakers now? It would just add to LeBron's legacy if the Lakers won it all. LeBron's PR/Spin machine is unmatched. Even if Klaw averages more points than LeBron, LeBron will get the "credit" for the Chip. And at this point, Klaw's trajectory has him in a position to pass LJ on the "rings" list. 1 or 2 more rings (just 1 more IMO) and suddenly Klaw is in that discussion with Kobe and Jordan. He loses that opportunity if he pairs with LJ right now.

                  Well, you just failed to determine why LeBron fandom was a part of the discussion that 23 was having with regards to OJ and cima going ham on the Clippers for the last month, so I won't hold my breath on you objectively determining what's properly prompted or not prompted.

                  Yes a Laker fan addressed a topic that's being discussed in here currently. OJ and cima have been the only ones in here however obsessively trashing the Clippers every chance they've gotten and after every single report that has come out with any sort of positive Clipper news like they've been in the Laker/Clipper foxhole for the last 20 years fighting the good fight. I'm aware of the Woj/Laker fan thing and I don't care about reddit or Laker fan forums I'm talking about in here at OS. The Laker fans here have been pretty chill about everything while cima and OJ have been ****ting all over the Clippers this entire time.

                  As for the Raptors, they sure did have a stigma as do the Clippers sure. But it's not even remotely close to the same thing. You're comparing an on court stigma to a free agency signing? It's two different things. But even still, I can understand not thinking anybody will want to sign with the Clippers because no one ever has although Baron Davis was a pretty big deal when he signed on there. But I can understand having doubts, but there's having doubts and there's this obsession with jumping over every report of someone even taking a meeting with the Clippers and blowing up as if it's out of the realm of possibility that free agent would even meet with them. That's what we're seeing in here and that's the messed up part.

                    That said this free agency period has been something to behold, and the petty slander has definitely been over Woj himself.

                    Its been a great free agency so far imo, and cant wait to play the new rosters on 2K honestly.
                    Can’t wait to use the Nets too huh.

                    Make sure you’re using the Healthy Rosters though. PnR out the *** with that roster.

                      It's like that hand coming down on the blue button meme whenever OJ debates anything...I think theres fair points on both sides of the argument...
                      It’s the underlying cause of the Clipper talk. The Laker fans don’t have much to say about the Clippers as a possible destination because they understand the situation. Going by recent history which organization has been better ran? It’s easy to see why they would appeal to Kawhi.

                      But the LeBron fans view it as the Clippers don’t have his highness, so lol at them.

                      Doesn’t explain all of it, but it’s certainly a factor

                        I don't think I was ****ting on the Clippers themselves, that was more OJ. I've been ****ting on Woj for his biased reporting and it wasn't because it was just pro-Clippers, it's because it was pro-Clippers/anti-Lakers. All that "The Clippers, not the Lakers are the team in LA Kawhi's thinking about", "The Lakers might not even get a meeting" and then all those false reports he had about the Lakers cap space situation trying to make them look stupid when in reality their FO knew everything they needed to the entire time. That's what my issue was. Woj was going out of his way to make the Clippers look good AND make the Lakers look bad. He hasn't said a damn positive thing about the Lakers this entire time and that's something you'd only notice if you were paying attention, which many of us have been. LA fans, Fake LA fans, and Toronto are far more vested in Kawhi than the rest of NBA fans.

                        So if I was ****ting on the Clippers, it was b/c of Woj making them sound like not just THE premiere destination, but the ONLY destination in Los Angeles. The Clippers are a solid organization, but it's laughable how Woj was trying to paint them as the ONLY attractive destination in LA.

                          That may be true here in this small, tiny OS bubble but it's not an accurate reflection at all of the majority Lakers fans on the net. And there's tons of them across many different forums. The majority share the same sentiment.

                              My only issue is all the players that will back out once they see DeMarre Carroll and the Spurs coming...

                                The "internet fans" are eating up every report stressing themselves out.

                                I think average person is like everyone else. No idea either way. If you were to tell someone they had to bet $100 on any of the 3 teams(if you had even odds for all 3), or choose not to bet at all, people would probably choose the latter.

                                I'm hoping he signs. I dont expect a 5 year deal. Im happy with 2+1. If he leaves after that, regardless what happens the next 2 years, I can live with that. Even a 1+1 deal would be fine. At least go through a season as defending champs with the guys who won all here. And if they dont repeat, then we know we got beat and time to move on to next era.
