What we know: 1. The Lakers, as we've been saying for more than a week now, believe they are firmly in the lead largely through the recruiting efforts and assurances made on separate fronts from Magic Johnson and LeBron James ...
But obviously the Lakers are the only ones with the motive to leak that, and if the Lakers weren't feeling good about their chances, they wouldn't exactly leak that out, so I'm just not sure what the Lakers thoughts on their chances really mean?

3. The Raptors haven't backed off one centimeter and Drake is said to be mounting his own recruiting campaign on top of whatever the freshly minted champions are doing to convince him to stay

Lakers seem to have done an incredibly shitty job of that.

I mean the only remotely thing close to a legit organizational leak throughout this whole process is steins tweet

True
They've been able to keep it quiet but I have my doubts on how long that will last

The one thing that the Stein tweet does is seem to confirm that random Raptors "insider" posted today on realgm.
quote:
I now have two different sources telling me the exact same thing. One from the OVO Camp and one from the best friend of an NBA Player. Mods please reach out to me for specific names, times and places where these conversations happened. Right before the playoffs started, Kawhi met with the Toronto Mgmt and they essentially agreed on him returning for a 1+1 IF they made the finals. Kawhi was really attracted to the idea that this team could secure homecourt and rest him 20-30 games or whatever.
However, Kawhi told the team that if they don't make it to the finals he's gone (Specifically to the Clippers). Good news right? Well, here what’s changed. LeBron is offering him the keys to the Lakers franchise. LeBron is essentially telling Kawhi he's retiring after his contract is up and he'll be the new face of the franchise. Lakers mgmt is also going to let him hire his own medical staff and bring all his pals on board. The Lakers were never on Kawhis radar. It was always going to come down to the Clippers or Raptors.
However, with LeBron essentially giving him the "keys to the city" there’s a new real sense of interest and a real threat for him to join the Lakers. He feels like he can join a superteam because he's already won rings without one. Kawhis already met with the Clippers (late last night) and was also impressed with them. Kawhi is meeting with Masai either tonight or tomorrow morning. He's flying in from LA. And you better believe both the Clippers and the Lakers are flying out their people to chase him too. On the plus side for the Raptors. Drake has been with Kawhi for the last few days. Theres been a lot of talk of having NB as an offical endorser of this years OVO Fest but Drake is having trouble working with Nike.
