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

welcome back real! i think all of those arguments makes sense, for anyone.

the only thing that's hard for me to place a finger on is Kawhi's personality and how that might affect his decision. I think Lebron was going to end up a Laker or Knick, depending on who would've been successful at the time, Lebron wanted that big stage that Cleveland or Miami couldn't give him, but we all know the Knicks weren't going to be that team. Kawhi being so reserved, quiet, rarely expressive, does he want all of that comes with being a Laker? the intensified criticism, the league wide disdain of our organization, is he that type of guy to bare that? I honestly thought he would stay a Spur like Duncan, a player with the same type of game and personality, but they drove him out...or did he really want to come play for us?

If he's meant to be a Laker, he'll be a Laker. I feel only the right players make there way here and succeed only because they want to be here, can ignore the bias that comes with wearing the purple and gold, and make the most of their time here.

 

yea, there's no need to rationalize or justify why coming to the Lakers is his best option... we are superior, as stated above, in every facet of the equation... it really boils down to (1) is he ready to face the wrath of the world by becoming a laker and (2) is he ready to face the criticism by pulling a durant move and teaming up with all-stars to create a dynasty?

i want to believe he isn't so prideful as to jeopardize future rings in order to be the only star on a team... let's be honest, toronto isn't winning again -- the stars had to align for that to happen... and as far as the durant-esque move, he has nothing left to prove to anyone.

my big thing is that having 3 huge stars provides a realistic path to obtaining a #1 seed while maintaining load management; you only need 2 of the 3 on the floor to win 80% of your games... so the longevity is there for a dynasty.

anyway, time for Kawhi to come home, not much left to be said on the issue...

 

With the possibility of Kawhi seeming real (unless he's a macho dumb a** wanting to "have his own team") ..... wondrous happenings on Lakersball concurrently.

1. @Khmrp says he'll become glass half full guy. Really.

2. @therealdeal has returned

3. The trifecta would be if @sirronstuff could set aside his hatred of LBJ since birth, now with AD and Kawhi to root for? And catch us up on gifs?

 

Plus he won a ring being the alpha and gave that city a ring after being traded there while saying he wanted to be a Laker.

 

not half, overflow...if no leonard ill be 1/4 cup full guy

 

Still idiots... just idiots that lucked into Bron, who I still hate.

 

I took you as kidding about being cup overflowing guy. That could be dangerous to your health such a rapid drastic change.

@Khmrp

 

Zen on the other hand is a different kind of cat.

 

maybe...it was that way during the 11' season than dall happened lol...thought dall had no chance against us in that series, boy was i dumb

edit-also been reading tor forums on realgm n man the negative takes they have on their players are nothing compared to mine prior to them winning this chip (super mean)...so i realize no need to sweat stuff, players can always come thru n do things that matter most when it counts

 

My responses are below with no intent to offend but to point out a few things with some humor...

1. Khmrp might become a glass half full guy but he will likely point out the floaties and particles in the water.



2. Super pumped that TRD has returned. His return reminded me a little bit of Paul Pierce when he left the finals seemingly not returning but somehow miraculously came back triumphant! (J/K we love you TRD and super happy you've returned).



3. Sirron is a douchenozzle and I haven't seem him around these parts in quite some time. Probably won't ever return because of LBJ and uses his time now to create rubber poop for pranks since he is fascinated with defecation. The guy that seems to be rising on the douche board for CL is this guy Ron Stu. Seems to always be the Top Poster of the Month and has a massive infatuation with LBJ to the point it is unhealthy. Mods watch that guy.

Wasn't expecting the dookie shot, but okay. LOL

 

Sirron who used to be a very active poster here made gifs with poop. They were hilarious... especially the ones with Byron Scott. I can't find them but maybe someone else has some of those to share.

Btw, that is a rubber poop for pranks.

 

I did a google search and found some. That dude needs professional help.

 

@Savory Griddles You're right and I absolutely should have clarified. I think that Toronto is the best basketball situation for him if he wants to win and be the undisputed primary option, especially given the team chemistry he's developed. Lakers, if the offseason plays out properly, would probably be his best shot at winning a ring, but he may not get as much credit.

Very curious to see how this all plays out!

Byron. What a disaster
