    I always felt like we had some chance, but now I could almost describe my feelings as confident he will join. I think he obviously knows all about the basketball possibilities talking wit AD/Bron (anyone in their right mind could picture how good it will be even without this), I'm sure New Balance and his team have pitched for years the business opportunities. Now he just wants to see how the front office/organization is, and Magic hopefully should be able to BS his way through his sales pitch like he usually does.

    Hey NBA league offices, you seemed to have missed this occurrence of potential tampering in 2010....but go ahead and keep applying/modifying the Johnson Rules.

    I aint scared about the Clippers meeting, and neither should anyone else. Boardman is going to bring his A game Poker Face and Jerry West is going to try and impress him, but seeing how it’s the Clippers, what’s he going to sell Kawhi on? Behold, here’s a joke I made yesterday, and told repost in here instead of creating a new thread.

    When Jerry West talks to Kawhi Leonard during the Clippers Meeting:


    Jerry West: Kawhi, I, we, want you to come to the Clippers. We’ll build our whole team around you.

    Kawhi: :::blank stare:::

    JW: Son, do you know who I am?

    Kawhi: :::blank stare:::

    Steve Ballmer: Jerry tell him about your nickname.

    Kawhi: :::blank stare:::

    JW: I’m the Logo, I played for the Lakers and. After my playing days, I put Showtime together, and then I put Kobe and Shaq together. I’m responsible for the Lakers dynasties.

    Kawhi: :::blank stare:::

    JW: I convinced the Warriors they had to sign Kevin Durant. Btw, I’m also responsible for their current dynasty.

    Kawhi: :::blank stare:::

    JW: Aren’t you going to say anything?

    Kawhi: All I heard was Lakers and Warriors.

    JW: No son, what I’m saying is, I’m the one who built these dynasties.

    Kawhi: :::blank stare:::

    JW: I’m a genius for spotting talent when I see it and then acquiring it.

    Kawhi: Then how come you didn’t convince the Warriors to draft me in 2011?

    JW: :::tongue tied:::

    Steve Ballmer: :::smdh:::

    Kawhi: :::blank stare:::

    Sorry Bobby, no they don't.

    cLips would need to completely get off Gallo's deal with next to no incoming salary coming back for them to have 70m+ in cap to offer both Kawhi and KD their true maxes.

    If they stretch Gallo, they will have 66m in cap space and won't have enough to max out both Kawhi (~32.7m) and KD (~38.2m).

    Haha...these professionals are on one tho.

    cLips can get there by trading nearly most of their valuable core that Kawhi/KD works want to link up with.

    cLips can get there by renouncing all their RFAs, stretching Gallo and swapping Trez or Lou for a lesser salaried contract.

    cLips can get there and I think West is savvy enough to get it done, but they would have to gut the roster to do so with only near rookie deals remaining in SGA, Zu, Shamet, etc. and either Lou or Trez (Bev world be gone unless he takes the room exception).

    How can Kawhi manage the load with that roster and a rehabbing KD?

    Funny how we’re not hearing any “Why would Kawhi go play second fiddle to KD?!?” narratives. Very funny, indeed.
