    It could just be a fairly regular home something in the million dollar range that way he's comfortable enough and if he has to sell again in a year his chance of much loss is minimized.

    All that money LA is going to be paying him next year has gotta go into something. Kawhi is just building his real estate portfolio.

    I wouldn’t read too much into this. I’m canadian, and there’s a housing boom in Toronto.... so much so that the federal government is trying to make legislation to discourage foreign investors from buying real estate in Toronto and Vancouver specifically.

    This is just a smart financial decision for Kahwi. He will park his money in his home for the year (not wasting it on rent that he will never get back), and when he sells there’s a good chance he will make profit as well.

    Kobe to Kawhi: "You think what I'm showing you now is amazing and helpful, just wait till you come to the Lakers next year."

    Kawhi: (Just smiling)

    I have always been worried about the Clippers mainly because they will have 70 mil in cap space and Jerry West. They will want to be relevant by the time their new arena opens up in a few years.

    My concern has always been that at the trade deadline the Clippers will offer the Raptors anything they want. Something like Tobias (young expiring)+Shai Gilgeaus-Alexander (top Canadian point guard prospect) + future picks for Kawhi.

    If the lakers say “we won’t match, we will wait till the offseason”... it’s exacty what the Clippers want. Then they will have the most appeal to Kawhi with the pitch of “We have your bird rights now, we can offer you the most money, you get your wish to stay in LA, you will be the undisputed face of the franchise.... plus we have cap space for potentially 2 other max players (if they can salary dump Gallinari). Just name the two other free agents you want and we will build around YOU Kawhi.”


    Not worried yet?

    I could see that. The new Diva that is Leonard not wanting to play with the established Diva that has always been James. Just need our team to gel as is, health and then continue to trust Magic, Rob and Luke to fill it out with talent that wants to be here. Not going to sweat this. F*** him if that's the case.

    Always been cautious about the Clippers being a Kawhi destination. It gives him LA which his camp wants without all the lights and cameras like the Lakers, it'll fit his personality more. They have a lot of money next season to spend and Jerry West to help spend it. Tobias Harris is one hell of a trading asset considering his talent and salary numbers.

    So he works out with Kob...a pic comes out... And then all of a sudden a rumor that the cLips are the favorite to get him comes out. Curious.

    Putting a damper on that tamper, eh Rob & Kob?

    LOL. Whoever prefers Clippers over Lakers for ANY f***ING reason, doesn't deserve to be a Laker.

    Not worried.

    I mean, yeah I want the best players possible to join our team, but Kawhi isn’t the only option this summer. If he truly didn’t want to come to the Lakers to not play “in LeBron’s shadow”, then he’s weak and the same as players that couldn’t handle playing with Kobe and his insane work ethic, ball dominance, and demanding of greatness, I don’t want that player anyway. I don’t buy the report until I see Kawhi stay in Toronto or actually go to the Clippers though. There may have been a legit complaint with Kobe that certain stars didn’t want to share the ball with him, but LeBron plays more like a pg, so I don’t see that complaint, I can’t see at least some star not wanting to join him.

    Same.

    Same reason I have no feeling of disappointment at all that George isn't a Laker.
