    The Clippers were supposedly on his 4 team list, hardly a sleeper.

      Boston is not operating like a team focused on Irving and Davis... In fact, the things they are exploring run counter to a Davis and Irving future, per Steve Kyler.

        Is that literally all that Kyler said or did he get into even remote specifics?

          Nope.

          “The Celtics have been actively exploring trades, and draft scenarios for players that would better lineup with a future built around Tatum and Brown... sources close to the team are skeptical that they can get Irving back but remain open to re-signing him.”

              The Los Angeles Clippers have been fined $50,000 by NBA for violating the league’s anti-tampering rule when Doc Rivers publicly commented on Kawhi Leonard.

                Unfortunately, Kyler isn't the most reliable source.

                It's a good idea, though. Build around Brown and Tatum instead of trading to build around Kyrie and AD and nothing else.

                  So...HE STAYING?


                  I've been thinking about that too. Who says Kawhi needs to sign max deal with Raptors or turn down big money to leave Toronto on a 4 year deal. What about option C?

                  Sign a short deal, like the Lebrons 1+1 deals in the past.

                  If he wants to stay with Raptors, and trusts them to keep him healthy, why not do this? Stay with Raptors for as long as they're good, and can leave as soon as he wants and sign big deal elsewhere. He gets pay raise each year with 1+1 deals anyways, so he gets more control over future.

                  Raptors after 19/20 have Lowry,Ibaka,Gasol all off the books. If I'm Kawhi, next year you could still have good shot at finals. After that, see what happens. 2020 offseason you could have enough money to add some big FA to Kawhi/Siakam. If not, then Kawhi could just leave.

                    There's no reason to read into anything about a pending FA in the NBA Finals right now, especially Kawhi. There's no way he's deciding his future in the middle of the freaking NBA Finals, and even if he did, once the emotional high of being in the moment is gone, his mind can change again (see Kyrie Irving) in the offseason when he has a long time to think about it and be pursued by other teams.

                      A 1 year deal in Toronto makes a lot of sense especially on the court because he isn’t making a deep playoff run for the clippers if joins them.

                        He's wildly inconsistent. so I'll take it with a grain of salt.

                              If I did my math correctly, that's 884,000,000 glasses of lemonade.

                              Or just 29,466,667 glasses a day.

                                Kemba



                                For Walker, the decision is easy.

                                “Oh no question, Charlotte’s definitely my first priority,” he said. “That’s where I’ve been for eight years and that’s all I know. Not many people get a chance to play for one NBA team throughout their career. When I go on my Instagram, I see, ‘Kemba leave! Kemba get out of Charlotte!’ People don’t understand, when they say you need to go ‘here’ and win, that winning is not guaranteed anywhere.

                                “Charlotte is my home, man,” Walker said. “I’ve been there for eight years and it’s been the most amazing eight years of my life. My family, they love it. The fans love me. The organization has been great and gave me my opportunity.”
