    I'd actually like to see him in GS...the doom around the NBA would be very funny.

    Considering that we are about a billion miles away from contention, it doesn't directly affect us.

    But Bob Myers playing NBA 2K with the Association in real life would be kind of funny...

    But I agree. Kawhi isn't the type of cat to join a superteam. Actually he almost all by himself is a superteam.

    Far from it. The current situation pains me. When the Clippers, Bucks, Raptors, Nuggets, Blazers, Sixers, Pacers, Nets, Jazz and others have a better plan than the iconic NBA brand franchise does, its time to face the reality of what and where we are.

    Try some constructive input rather than name calling.

    I'll keep my word to @Weezy here and let it all be. If you're not a troll then fine. But your comments read that way to me.

    Not trying to be a jerk at all, but what purpose to these types of post serve exactly?

    It's very easy to not click a thread to not view/discuss a topic that doesn't interest you and/or you find completely unrealistic.

    What purpose "oh, he's coming" posts serve?
    Was my post on topic? We're a s*** show and he would be crazy to join this cluster****. That's my opinion and i stick by it.
    Won't post anymore, don't want to hurt your "feelings". Let's all hold hands and sing kumbaya from now on...

    Samesies.

    And I really wasn't trying to be a d***. I'm genuinely curious what that specific post was meant to accomplish. You're free to think whatever you do, but just saying "Let it go, it ain't happening" doesn't really advance the conversation in any way.

    I don't think anyone on this site thinks Kawhi's more likely than not to come here. I'd personally give it a 20% chance of happening as things stand now.

    If you think it's 0%, why do you think that? Is it just our crapshow of a Front Office? Do you think the on-court supporting cast in Toronto or with the Clips is substantially better than ours?

    If we could just dump Rob & replace him with Meyers/Riley/West/someone actually good at this, I'd bump us up closer to 40-45% chance of landing him for all we have going for us as a team & organization, but that's just me.

    We're so dysfuncional, that our only chance at getting FA's is Bron/Klutch. I would start fresh if i was Jeanie, tried to save what's left of this franchise. New, great GM would do wonders for us. We need to look confident and focused.
    Right now, FA's look our way and laugh probably.
    I'm with you on that % "thing". New FO bumps us to around 50% chance of getting a star FA.

    Different company posted those odds I believe. Also didn’t say what date those odds were from.

    These are the most recent that I know of.

    Can you explain what's meant by "AEG is still plugging away on the New Balance front?" What exactly does that look like? What is the case being made?

    Not going to lie, if Kawhi does come here to the Lakers the moderators might have to temporary suspend me because it's going to get crazy in here. Lord knows a bunch of Lakers fans on twitter be saving up all these backlashes of articles and tweets hating on us.... there's going to come a day when they regret it all. If NBA Twitter think Lakers fans are obnoxious now, they have no clue. Haha

    How satisfying it would it be if he ditches them and stays with TOR or joins us after they basically sold themselves all season towards him with the traveling to games and doing stuff like that.

    Isn't that tampering? Back door dealing? Or is that only when the Lakers think it in their minds when home alone while talking to no one?
