If Kawhi signs long term

But why do people think that this will happen? Really, Kawhi is still good enough that he will get a max deal a year or two from now. Even if he got hurt like KD just did, he'd still be able to get a 4-year max.

Remember when LeBron was just doing one-year deals? It's not in Kawhi's best interest to sign for more than two years anywhere, in case he doesn't like it and wants out. And he'll still make more money.

That's why I don't think it's going to be so terrible if he goes to the Lakers. By the time of the 2023, 2024, and 2025 drafts, he's unlikely to be around.

Heck, if there's one thing that this offseason is proving, it's that nothing stays the same for long. Too many players are always moving around.
