Didn't he come out and say he's looking for dollars and years for his next deal? Or was that just speculation.

This is probably his last chance to get paid so he would be smart to take the money from someone.

Now if he wants to play for cheap then what's up DG!


quote:

Thinking about the math here - Kawhi would have to willingly take a discount for the Lakers to be able to pay out more than just $4.8 mil to Green or Curry. Would DG do that w/Curry at min? Would Kawhi take less than max, Lakers do incentive trick w/Green?

How many more Space Jam spots Lebron has?

Kawhi to Lakers rumblings getting stronger & stronger. Iguodala likely to join Lakers after Memphis buyout. Danny Green & Seth Curry in Lakers’ scope. Lakers offered Rondo vet minimum & 24 hours to decide. Lakers on verge of building powerhouse.

Jesus what does this guy smoke? So Lakers get Kawhi AND Green and Curry both take minimums?


Green was literally quoted saying he wanted as much money and as many years a possible. And Curry's worth more than the room exception much less the minimum.

Lmao what a stupid scenario. So the Lakers already have Bron and AD on big contracts, and now CB is saying they're going to sign Kawhi (big contract), Iggy (gets paid $17M next year), Curry (will not take a minimum, he's too good of a player), and DG (also will not take a min)?

Chris is acting like NBA players don't want to get paid and only want to win, which has been disproven on several occasions.

I'm pretty sure he's implying that Iggy will get bought out by Memphis eventually. There's an exception that can allow them to pay a player about $4m, that's more than enough to get Curry. Green doesn't make any sense.

True. Thanks for pointing that Iggy fact out. It just seems like all of these elaborate Laker scenarios would take a bunch of particular signings and a bunch of vet minimums just to fill out the roster, and I can't see them landing exactly who they want at this point in free agency if they haven't been able to land who they wanted before now (except AD).

It would be the most Kawhi thing ever for him to announce where he's signing through a newspaper ad.

lake show have unique opportunity to rotate three all stars in and out together. load management is ideal for kawhi under this scenario. I just started drinking bubbly already this morning lol

Kawhi still wants load management that’s a really tough sell in LA.
On the list of things to sell to Kawhi, load management is probably one of the easiest.
