Still no news about Kawhi.

I read on some page that today is the day. We should be hearing his decision soon. Many are expecting him to join the Lakers but they did something that Kahwi might not like. With that said, I think he's not gonna wear that purple and gold.

Personally, I am very hyped to see him joining the Lakers.
I would be so interested to see him paying along with LeBron James and if they will be together at LA I think that they can win the championship and rise Lakers to the top again.

He made a decision already and he is joining the Clippers, along with Paul George, both are MVP level and I think they'll do better compared to Lebron and AD's squad. There are 3 teams in the west now that will compete in the top rank, I will disregard the Rockets in this competition since they don't have improvement for the next season yet.

Oh mate I really missed that.
Paul George is great but I don't think they will do better compared to team up when th James.
At least he joined a team from Los Angeles. This is something, right?  Grin
Posting up the link for such news for other people to see about this decision https://www.nba.com/article/2019/07/06/report-kawhi-leonard-signs-clippers

Lots of hopes been destroyed on this one and even I didnt expect for him to go with Clippers but well its his own decision.Paul George+Kawhi? This will be an interesting
West competition.

Thanks for the link, but I reading the link above, and it's confirm Leonard is gonna play with the Clippers.

His salary is only $142 million in 4 years, not the biggest but that's a decent salary already for a star who just won a championship, the highest contract so far still belongs to KD with $164 million in same length of time with Leonard.

I don't think Raptors will let him go. I mean he did so well in the last NBA Finals, he is the MVP, with that fat check Raptors will use that to get Kawhi again and have a good run in the next season. I don't know how Lakers can afford those big players but they are really investing to get that next championship, I think Kawhi will not be joining LA.
Kawhi still has the words to say and decide whether the Raptors don't want him to go. The best thing to do right now is to wait for his announcement whether he will stay or he's going to another team that simply want to take the spot because of his winning and champ momentum. If Lakers want him then just like the Raptors, whether they offer good it will still depend on Kawhi's decision and if he likes to be with the team.

I think with this rumors coming out, if Leonard is to stay with the Raptors, he would announce it already, but until now we have hear from him yet, so most likely he will be playing with other team, probably in LA.
Let's forget all of those rumors and speculations that we've made. All of those were finally over as Kawhi has been announced on where's going together with PG13. Clippers will be one of the toughest team on this season? hmmmmm.. interesting!
While KD and Irving on Nets.

And there it is!

Kahwi Leonard will be playin in LA.............Clippers  Grin
Sorry to all Laker hopefuls  Cry
He will be playing along side Paul George who has also been traded there.
At least we all know that he wanted to really go to LA. Good move for him, he will be closer to this family and now the West will be very explosive and unpredictable. Let's see if he can work with Paul George. It there's one team that is sorry, then it was the Toronto Raptors, but at least he game the city it's first NBA championship.

I like the big 3 of the Clippers than any other team, all of them are good passers and PG is proven a good player and has brought his confidence back again. Nice big 3 with Lou, PG, and Leonard the Klaw.. sorry Raptors but you got your first champ with him, you should be grateful with that.

Like I said. Don't expect too much because the unexpected can happen and here it goes again Cheesy.

Last year nobody expected that he will go to the Raptors (or maybe a low chance). Now he did it again with him going to the Clippers. If PG13 will go there, I think they will be a better team. Lou Will, Kawhi, PG13, Harrell + 1 starter since they will trade Gallinari in Thunder if it happens.
That will formed their own versions of the big 3, quite good even it's not expected to happen but news around already circulating regarding to this
trade, clippers once again will have its chance, been a while when griffin,cp3 and Jordan made this team very competitive.

Now it's Kawhi, George and Williams to build a good chemistry, making this team very competitive.

So, according to the news Zion Williamson suffered a minor knee injury during his debut on NBA summer league. Thoughts about this? I just saw it on Bleacher report and many people are commenting "Another Greg Oden player." Like, who are they to judge a kid that is a great prospect in playing basketball?

Still nothing coming from him, and I agree with you, if he's going to stay with Barney maybe he already announce that or it will be discussed and be reported by mass medias but still nothing from his camp who can give some light with his decision regarding to which team he will going to play, rumors
of joining the Lakers still possible until he's not pointing his directions it will continue to be a question to his fans.

A rumor will always be a rumor but I'm still waiting for the official decision of Kawhi Saga Part 2.

The chances of joining in the Lakers is higher compare to the Raptors but still, we don't know what is on his mind right now. Let the media hype continue until the next few weeks maybe.

If he will stays on Toronto, they have the chances to get a championship again but if he will go on the Lakers be ready Western Conference Cheesy.

I hate to ruin the fun of all warriors bandwagoners for the past 5 years but this is not the same as 2015 championship. That year you had Harrison Barnes on your small forward, who you gonna have this year? Quintin Cook? I don't think so, that year you had Draymond playing like the best defender on the face of the earth, he is older and much worse right now, that year you had Iggy that literally became the FMVP at the end of the season, you don't have him and he is also very old, Livingston is probably gone or even if he stayed then he is very old.

Basically, all you have is Curry+DLO+Injured Klay+Worse Dray and some bench scrubs. Warriors is not even a contender in my eye this season, they are not making headlines at all, they are not making the finals neither.

Draymond is just 29 years old. He is on his prime. It is the injuries which makes you think he is that old.  Grin

You are underestimating the power of Steph Curry. That is what happened to most of the team and that is why they lose against them.
I am not that hardcore fan by GSW but when I saw how Steph Curry changed the game of basketball into some shooting spree game.
Yeah, suddenly I became one of his fans.

They still have a roster with 4 superstars. Do not forget that.

What we can do right now is to wait till he announced his decision, there's still chances that he might join LeBron and Davis wearing the Lakers jersey, we never know but if he also consider what Raptor's offer to him it will be informed after his final say.

I don't think Raptors will let him go. I mean he did so well in the last NBA Finals, he is the MVP, with that fat check Raptors will use that to get Kawhi again and have a good run in the next season.

The warriors are still a better team but not a super team anymore,
GSW is a super team because of their impressive teamwork. It is not just because of KD. Before KD, GSW is already a super team. KD is their cheat code.

this is the balance I like to see and the departure of Durant is a good sign that next season we will witness a good and competitive race going to the playoffs.

I am still waiting for one player to sign a contract before I can say that next season is a balanced competition. If Kawhi signed to Lakers, the superteam power will shift to Lakers. Kawhi needs to sign to another team before we can say that there is some balance.
Never heard any news as well, the latest is that Kawhi decision might be after the 4th of July. He probably just celebrating right now and after that the announcement. GSW will be Curry's team, with or without KD. But next season it will be very different, time for other team to shine, Lakers, Portland, Denver, Bucks and of course the defending champion Toronto.

Seems like we do have some decent hater GSW here! Grin

You got some point but you wouldnt know on how they would perform on next season specially now KD is gone.Everything gets old and all people do knows that
but they are still capable on making plays.Their prime might be over but doesnt mean they are scrubs.

On the other hand that Kawhi very very slow decision do really make my body itch.!
