Is Kawhi gone in free agency or staying for one more year and then bailing?

His mom's not even that attractive. I don't get it. She has a nice body but everything else is just sorta "I'm a mom in my late forties who wears makeup and dyes my hair." Her face shape is Robert Z'Dar-like. Wild comparison

They'll move him by the ASB but the spurs aren't going to just let him walk to la and form a super team.

Dude, if after all of this PG stays in OKC, Bron stays in Cleveland, and Kawhi rots on the Spurs until next February, I will fucking scream and throw shit. Bunch of motherfuckers content with letting the Warriors push their shit in.

Does LeBron + Kawhi + PG13 challenge the Warriors? Because I really don't think so. Like... it maybe goes six games. The Warriors depth, system and accumulated chemistry is still too much to contend with. Let's say it ends up like this...
PG: Rajon Rondo SG: Paul George SF: Kawhi Leonard PF: LeBron James C: Nerlens Noel Bench: Lonzo Ball, Gerald Green, Luol Deng, Quincy Acy, Jahlil Okafor
Steph >>>>>> Rondo Klay = PG13 (not equal but they cancel each other out, AFAIC) Iggy <<<<<< Kawhi Durant = LeBron Draymond >>> Nerlens

I definitely think a team of Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, and LeBron could challenge Golden State if they assemble the right role players/bench around them. Houston challenged them with Harden and a 35 year-old CP3.

things dont add up though.
kawhi doesnt want to be "the guy" kawhi doesnt want to be in a "media circus" kawhi doesnt want to be in SA anymore
so what does he expect playing in LA, behind lebron? you think the media will just let the team play? Or will every loss be "DOES THIS TEAM NEED TO FUCKING BLOW UP?"

Yea I think you guys are underestimating lebron playing with two actually good players. Wade and Bosh were good players, they both had to take huge steps backwards to orbit around LeBron as their first option. If LBJ/Kawhi/PG do get together in LA, I imagine a lot of the same results: one year of feeling it out, regular season success and falling short in the playoffs, Kawhi primarily relegated to a defensive stopper mode, PG13 relegated to a stop-and-pop player and both guys leaned on for big nights when LeBron is gassed or his shot's not falling. I don't care how much money Magic and bootleg Rob Lowe are willing to spend, they're not gonna get those guys the roster they need structured around them. JJ Redick ain't taking a pay cut give them shooting, they can't trade for Korver, guys like Wayne Ellington had big years and will be overpaid elsewhere. Unless LAL welcomes Dwight back with open arms at a minimum contract (HIGHLY UNLIKELY) I don't see who they expect to play center either. Kyle O'Quinn?

Also...
[Sharp] On DeMarcus Cousins and the Pelicans: As one league source texted me this week, "New Orleans didn't miss him. It's not even clear he's a winning player even when he's healthy." (si.com)
I've been saying this for months. The difference between Cousins-less NOLA and Cousins NOLA is barely recognizable. Why break the bank for this dude, particularly now that he's coming off a torn ACL?

Maybe not in the first year, but if those 3 assemble (and actually figure it out in the first year) I think they land Some decent players at a discount in free agency for the next X amount of years they are together. It's not like that 2011 Heat team was STACKED. They had late 30s Carlos Arroyo and Mike Bibby running the point for them. I also think you're forgetting about a particular geographical advantage LA has.
I don't want it to sound like I want this to happen, I'd love to see no one sign there and have the lakers put all their eggs in the Ball basket, but I look at it as a 'why not?' Situation for the 3 involved. Why would Lebron stay in Cleveland where there's bums like JR and TT (and Klove for that matter) eating up way more celery than they should be for the next couple years? Why would Kawhi spend one more year with a franchise he's clearly finished with, and who also look like they're finally ready to move in a different direction? Why does PG stay in OKC after Me7o's bitchass opted in?

Why does PG stay in OKC after Me7o's bitchass opted in? That's what I'm saying, the '10-11 Heat team was garbage outside of their three stars. It would likely be the same for this prospective Lakers team. At least in 1, possibly 2. I just don't see it working out, honestly. PG13's last gasp in Indiana and only year in OKC prove he's not cut from the same cloth as LeBron. Dude folds under pressure and throws in the towel early when shit's not going his way. He'd be the odd man out and constantly in trade discussions just like Love in Cleveland. I don't think Kawhi gets to be Kawhi playing alongside LeBron.
