    I still believe strongly we are getting Lebron. It just makes too much sense. Now hurry up and agree with me Kawhi.

    According to some time lines last week, Kawhi was going to meet with Lakers and Clippers on Monday/Tuesday and the Raptors get the last one on Wednesday.

    By all accounts we probably know that at least Kawhi's camp has talked to at least Magic over the weekend. We're still fitting that timeline, probably announcement July 4th as some has stated today.

    So if we have met with him already, the only leaks we got from that were from RDA and Mr Rambis. Everything before that was probably from Magic and his talks with Uncle Dennis.

    I actually posted about this yesterday, timed exactly around the time RDAmbition posted something and everyone went crazy. Here it is below.

    I'm thinking with all these sports news outlets, whether it's ESPN. Foxsports, LA Times, the Athletic, and the various blog sites, there must be a real pressure to fall in line to someone like Ballz who has the money to bankroll your company for decades. It's so outside of fair play and will continue to push people towards social media for all their "legit" sports news.

    I really appreciate the explanation. I havent myself delved that deep into it all so this is news to me. That's why I joined a forum though so I could better understand what's going on and have a bit of fun. Thanks @Cookie

    This loyalty test narrative is such trash.

    So when the cLips were stalking him this season, that wasnt respecting dude's privacy?

    When the media kept peddling us it's only the cLips if he wants to come back home and despises teaming up with Bron for whatever reason, that wasnt putting words into dude's mouth? Why doesn't this dumb a** loyalty test apply here exactly?

    When it was leaked the cLips were trying to purchase the Klaw logo from Nike, why wasn't that kept secret?

    Hey Ramona, if Kawhi's camp is so worried about a loyalty test, then why did the cLips or whoever leak to you and Woj that dude wanted to talk to KD about a team-up?

    So he said it is expected to be a couple more days, but expects a decision by July 4th at the latest? :Kareemlook:

    It is even more baffling considering that she is employed by the LA station that airs Laker games. One would think she would be more of a homer for the team on her station. Maybe there is something to this Ballmer money idea.

    Haynes right now on ESPN710:

    - No update thus far. No decision made.
    - All three teams are still in play right now (Clippers, Raptors, Lakers).
    - Haynes admits that sometimes meetings are for putting on a show these days.
    - Haynes shoots down all social media reports.
    - Haynes said he spoke to Uncle Dennis two days before the Finals and how Dennis respected the Raptors FO and how there was no leaks.
    - Says trust is a big thing for Kawhi and that the Spurs relationship deteriorated when he felt the FO didn't give back that trust.
    - Kawhi's main objective isn't championships, it's about comfort and trust.
    - Has a hard time believing Kawhi would leave.
    - Kawhi's camp is Uncle Dennis, his agent, his trainer, his mom, and his sister (although his mom and sister are hands off). Decision will come from Kawhi and Uncle Dennis.
    - Kawhi is a different cat from all the other players. Thinks he'd fit in happily with the Clippers and blending in. Says Kawhi doesn't want to be in the spotlight
    - Thinks all the meetings and details have been quiet on purpose, a test.
    - Thinks a decision comes Wed or Thurs, 4th of July by the latest.

    I regularly tune in to espn710 and have always been quite disturbed by Ramona’s bias towards the lakers. I felt it was just me, but seeing such a strong consensus out here and on social media just endorses my apprehensions and suspicions towards her.

    yeah the whole "loyalty" thing is such BS. so you're telling me kawhi is gonna base his decision off which team leaks to the press least? come on

    if he's all about trust then he's really going to consider the clippers after how they treated griffin? lol. not to mention how they had lawrence frank stalk him for a year. kawhi is such an oddball that it wouldn't surprise me at all if he signed with the clippers

    So based on Chris's info is that Kawhi rather be away from the spotlight, then why didn't he just announce right away that he wants to play on the raptors or the clippers so we could've got Dlo or Brogdan etc now they are gone
