You don't understand do you. There's no way on earth Kawhi signs for the Clippers. Mark this post. He'd rather stay in Toronto than go to a team that is a direct rival to his boyhood team. Not when his boyhood team is also offering him a deal.

LOL.

You think he is loyal enough not to play against Lakers (they are not his boyhood team do some research). But also believe he will sign with a team that has Lebron and AD and the hullabaloos and razzmatazz. LOOOL. LOOOOL.

exactly, LeBron is not a robot, if kwahi or AD can outshine him, they will get the credits, I know that mainstream media are LeBron groupies but I doubt if they can spin the narative if either AD or kwahi outshines LeBron

He has nothing to lose, if he is that good, he should prove it, raptors were lucky
They were lucky? Didn't they beat Milwaukee and Philly? Golden State never benefitted from injuries too?

He can prove it by staying in Toronto and going back to back or winning the Clippers their first chip. What does joining LeNomad prove?

Lakers are not his boyhood team. That is the propaganda that whoever said and others followed with. Kawhi said he was a boyhood Allen Iverson fan and that his family members were the ones who were the Lakers fans.

Where do you guys come up with this myth that Kawhi was ever a Lakers fan or suggested he be traded to the Lakers? I'm sure one proof you can't provide

If Kawhi can rock New Balance instead of Nike then that should tell you playing in Canada means nothing.

Paul George was also from southern California. He wound up staying in Oklahoma of all places, Toronto is like Vegas compared to Oklahoma

You are getting disillusioned. Hahaha. I told you he had not met with the teams yet.

You forget lebron also met other teams last year even though everyone knew where he was headed before.

The saltiest of old players about super teams are the ones without rings, Barkley, the iceman etc cause they know their legacy would have been enhanced if they did and now they're regretting not doing it. Lebron would've probably ended up like these clowns if he didnt make "the decision", not everyone is blessed with a good front office. AD probably would've too, good that he bolted.

LOOOOL. How many people play for thier boyhood team. I guess OKC was PAUL George's boyhood team. Clown ass
You're suffering from a chronic case of lack of understanding.

Did Paul George want to play with LeBron? Paul George did not even grant a meeting with Lakers because of LeBron. Does Kawhi mind playing with LeBron? I'm sure you know the answer to that.

Nope. Paul George signed with OKC before lebron got to the lakers. Paul George did however want to play with lebron when he was with the Cavs.

He can do that from Toronto or with the Clippers, plus he's beaten LeNomad before so why join him?
He can only do that playing with the Lakers. Or else it means LeBron has a lot of sidekicks apart from Kyrie, Wade and the rest if the people he played with.

And it's more reasonable to join a team/guy you beat, because they clearly need help, rather than joining a team/guy that beat you, like the Snake KD.

Paul George knew that LeBron was joining the Lakers, which made him to join OKC instead. Paul George wanted to lead his team and be regarded as the best player on his team. He knew he couldn't do that with LeBron. So he joined Westbrook cos he knew he had a shot at outshining him.

Pls tell me the team he supported as a child, because I'm to busy to do any research. And don't tell me Sixers.

Nope. Nobody is leading a team with westbrook on it, especially not okc where westbrook is king and even KD couldnt surmount that. He wanted to go to cleveland but got traded to okc and he ended up liking playing there and playing with westbrook (what a dummy). That's why he stayed.

Exactly my point. It doesn't prove anything. He has nothing to prove to anybody. The guy just wants to play the game of basketball in a happy environment, he doesn't care who on earth is in the team. Unlike other guys that disturb themselves about who's in the team or not. Kawhi wanted to go to the Lakers when there was no LeBron, and he hasn't changed his mind even now that there is LeBron.

When I say lead the team, I mean outshine the supposed custodian of the team. And did he do that? Absolutely. He was an MVP nominee.

And no, Paul George clearly wanted to join the Lakers before he got traded to OKC, everybody knows that.

Ahh I see. So you think he wanted to outshine the reigning MVP with back to back years averaging a triple double and one of the highest usage rates in the NBA? Interesting theory.

Paul George wanted out of Indiana, lakers were his preferred choice but was willing to go to the cavs and at least kick in his player option if lebron gave him the assurance he was going to do the same. Cleveland actually tried to get him twice, tried to trade for him a year before he asked for a trade. Everybody knows this.

Jackie MacMullan of ESPN reported there was a three-way deal in the works in June that would have sent both Bledsoe and George to Cleveland, with Irving and Channing Frye going to the Suns. Phoenix nixed the deal when it didn't want to send the No. 4 pick to the Pacers.

According to Windhorst and Ramona Shelburne, James also "aggressively recruited" George to come to Cleveland and stay there beyond his free agency in 2018.

Thats actually besides the point, its about why he stayed in OKC. It had nothing to do with lebron or him being on the lakers.

I can take Lebron and KD over Curry. But James Harden, Kawhi, West Brook? It pained me to my bone marrow.


And of course this dweeb co signed. Like i said, this guy has never been right in his entire life, i on the other hand have never been wrong in my entire life.

Sometimes you'd think being a genius would be a gift but its a curse. Being miles ahead of everyone makes you an outsider. I have been on the kawhi bandwagon for a very long time.

So who manufactured the rumour about him not wanting to play with LeBron? You think Pacers would want to strengthen the Cavs who are their direct rivals for a place in the finals?

And PG discovered after the first year in OKC that Westbrook wasn't that insurmountable after all.
