there's no way he leaves boston after one season if he gets traded there
that team is already a title contender and his presence there would put them over the top. the only way i would believe he'd sign with LA regardless after next season is if he actually comes out and says so
I disagree. Sure the C's would be stacked with him and he'd have the chance to win more championships - however some players are genuinely fine with just one.
Well he could've named Boston (as well as other title contenders) as a preferred destination but instead chose LA. And the fact that he'd consider the Clippers, not just the Lakers, tells me this is not exactly a basketball decision but more about where he wants to live and do business.
Agreed. The way I see it, hes already won a championship so for him it doesn't necessarily matter if the team is good or not. Its pretty much for business, his entourage feels like he will be able to come out of his shell and be way more marketable in LA. He's going to get paid a lot of money regardless and hes already accomplished what every player dreams of so I can understand his thinking.
Spurs shutting out any Lakers offers.
This is a difficult spot. Is there a team willing to give up a lot for a one-year rental? Will the Clippers be able to muster up enough?
Clippers are asset poor so its going to be tough. Theres no high end young player that they can give up and Pop/Budford are going to want/need one. Hence why they should talk to the Lakers.... they can probably get Kuzma, Lonzo or Ingram providing Kawhi signs an extension.
