Which undoubtedly means Lakers are out and Clippers and Raptors are running a close race

Chris Broussard said 2 days ago that Kawhi was 90-95% signing with LA that night

I think his source was Riley Drexel, lol. Broussard also falsely reported that Kawhi had eliminated the Clippers and called them and told them they were out without even meeting with them.

Broussard should just STFU. What a pathetic buffoon.

That’s part of what I meant. If Kuzma gets moved, we know who is actually running that franchise

No. I would not give up more than a 2nd and Moore (and filler n/g contracts).

No. That's a championship contending move (like gasol got Toronto).

We are doing things exactly how I want things to be done.

Young talent, mixed with rookies, and respected vets that can contribute.

Free agent Justin Holiday is considering interest from several teams including the Lakers, Clippers, Bulls, Raptors, Pacers, Wizards, Hornets and Cavaliers, league sources told @TheAthleticNBA. Memphis is open to a sign-and-trade with him.

After very impressive meetings with the Toronto Raptors and others yesterday, reigning NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard and his team haven’t made a decision and there won’t any announcement TODAY. Enjoy the 4th of July #KawhiWatch

Cris Carter tweet. So, no one is going to hear anything today, supposedly.

I’d be fine with that.

The Lakers can go into next season with LeBron, AD, and 12 scrubs on minimum deals waiting for Kawhi.

Nando De Colo has agreed in principle with Fenerbahce

This was a guy who was the MVP of the Euroleague who wanted to come back over this year. The Raptors have his rights and he would've been a RFA.

Fenerbahce was the team we just took Nicolo Melli from, so they obviously had that money to spend.

One of Drake's closest associates posted on IG:

"kawhi signs to the raps. You heard it here first. its lit"

He then took it down and told people that they were retarded if they believed him. Take that for what it's worth, which in my opinion is not very much.

I'm really enjoying reading Lakers fans as they lose hope. Lakers Reddit and the Lakersball site are both full of despair. Even their "insiders," such as this one (goes by Mr. Rambis) are giving up:

quote:
Am being told that there is some internal confusion in the Lakers right now. As I've posted about earlier, the discussions they had with Kawhi were very detailed regarding how he would fit into the Lakers. In subsequent conversations, they went into more depth about things like how many games he might play, who he could talk to for various concerns, etc. New Balance obviously had some great marketing proposals lined up as well, and Uncle Dennis made some very specific comments about things like the "Big 3" - which I also posted about yesterday. With that in mind, the Lakers thought that they would hear from him not too long after. However, now with the delay and his speculated lengthy dealings with Toronto, they're a little less confident and are unsure as to where Kawhi's head is at.
