Kawhi Leonard Discussion: “I’m A Snake Clipper Guy.”

They're almost bullet proof, but you have to watch the lines. Vegas exists because these lines are set at the right places. Vegas rarely loses big gobs of money on bets like this.






The line started with the Lakers in second place, although everyone was close. Then went from a decent + bet, to -1000. That means it takes a thousand dollar bet to make a hundred dollars. It's possible that it's a sucker bet designed to get people to bite right away while the Lakers were hot, but it could also be a sign they got information something was happening.

My only point was that if there's someone out there claiming to have insider info that lines up with this bookie, it could be a backup of the same source.

 

Possibly, but -1000 is a wildly confident line.

 

If they haven't leaked out then they're probably close to the same.

That bet by the way is just where will Kawhi play before the season starts, so there's a lot of time left. There's a chance the Spurs continue to drag this out.

The addition of Rondo and Stephenson give us some flexibility though in case we decide we need to pull the trigger on Kawhi.

 

Did some digging on that guy.

He actually claims it's Kawhi to the Clippers. He is one of the guys who says Kawhi won't re-sign with a team with LeBron on it.

Weird. There's another post in there that has to do with Kawhi's agency being a wreck and the main cause of all this. They're claiming that the agency is desperate and thus needs a bigger market. That's why there's wiggle room in the media about LA preferably the Lakers, but maybe the Clippers. There's a post in there about how Shams is connected to Kawhi's camp.

Maybe there's a little truth to some people in Kawhi's camp not wanting to team with LeBron? Maybe there's people in Kawhi's camp who feel he'd miss out on opportunities off the court if teamed with LeBron?

The thing is, the Clippers have nothing to offer. Tobias Harris would be their headliner in any deal... Whoopty doo.

I don't buy there's a move planned for tomorrow with Kawhi to the Clippers unless there's some asset the Clippers have that I don't know about. Ingram for Kawhi straight up would be a better trade than anything the Clippers have.

 

A little extra digging and it sounds like even Spurs fans agree with us: Woj is the Spurs' mouthpiece, Shams might now be Kawhi's camp's mouthpiece. Jabari Young has been connected to Kawhi's camp for a while now.

Shams might be reporting his opinion on Kawhi not wanting to be with LeBron or he may have gotten that impression from Kawhi's uncle.

I do think it's significant that the Sixers were trying to sign LeBron and suddenly Kawhi might be willing to sign long-term there.

Spurs fans seem to think the end game for Kawhi is not the Lakers, it's just out of SA and into a bigger market.

If Woj is the Spurs' mouthpiece, then why is he so adamant that Kawhi only wants to come here? Man... all these leverage plays are confusing.
