You really can’t see how some might make that connection?

So we are going to act like Magic Johnson didn't pitch Kawhi on the Lakers in any way? What would be the point of meeting with him if so?

Kawhi is obviously wary of media attention, as is his camp. A meeting with Magic would 100% draw attention to Kawhi and the Lakers, and if what we've heard about Kawhi's camp is true, there's no way they would take a random meeting with Magic.

And the Raptors can't keep someone from tracking the plane and taking photos in a hotel.

If media leaks and keeping things quite are a major part of kawhi’s decision then why tf would he choose the lakers after this entire year and off season. They’ve proven time and time again they can’t keep anything quite and don’t care about offending players.

EXACTLY

so all of this talk about leaks and tests and loyalty is just so stupid. none of the three teams have done anything to suggest they are leaking

I was replying to DSC's comment about Magic not working for the Lakers anymore. To say that Magic and the Lakers are two entirely separate entities, regardless of whether or not he works for them, is dumb.

ETA: I completely agree about the stupidity of the media attention shite. He's a grown arse man and should be able to handle some cameras and flashing lights

there is a lot more that will go into Kawhi's decision than who is leaking stuff. it's probably simply a criteria

That's fair. Magic will be lopped in with the Lakers talk in the public eye, unfair to the Lakers

I'm with you. That's why I posted the article in response to the tweet that was posted about leaks and attention in Toronto. This has dragged out too far now to really expect fans and media to not be all over it.

Maybe there's a 4th team that is so good at not leaking we don't even know about them and he is going to go there

No, they won’t have enough money unless AD takes a pay cut on his extension (which I can’t imagine he will after already throwing away so much money)
