    That was 2 years ago. Ok, the 2019 version would be when he led the Rockets to victory at home in game 6 against the KD less Warriors right?

    It was 3 years ago.

    No we lost that game. Not sure what that has to do with anything either. If you're insinuating that The Raptors played the same Warriors team the Rockets did, you're way off.

    Long term with the Raptors would be perfect.

    LOL Looks that RDA guy had the real scoop.

    Kawhi has to decide by 12:00 ET time if he wants to join the Lakers.

    When did Chris Carter become an NBA insider? Tell that dude to go fail in a Dolphins uniform again.

    I thought AD had waived the trade kicker so I don't understand how that affects the Lakers max cap space.

    What is Carter's connection to Leonard? Why does he claim/appear to have so much knowledge of his Leonard's thinking on this?

    2017 was 2 years ago. That was losing to the Kawhi less Spurs
    3 years ago was 2016. The .500 season.
    4 years ago like you originally stated was 2015. That was the epic comeback with Harden on the bench
    5 years ago was 2014. The Lillard shot. Also Kawhi won finals mvp.

    The original post stated that Harden could have led his team to victory against a injured team in the playoffs. Based on what exactly? When the history says otherwise. Was KD not hurt? Was Kawhi not hurt?

    If Kawhi is really going to spend Uncle Dennis' birthday in Toronto then there isn't much more evidence needed here.

    Also Carter supposedly is the only one uncle Dennis talks to that's why he all of a sudden is an ..insider.

    The new NBA fiscal year starts on 6 July at noon ET.
    The only reason the Lakers have max space for both Kawhi and AD is if they can sign Kawhi first and then trade for AD. If it's the opposite they are like 4-5 mil short. That's with AD waiving his trade kicker and getting rid of Mo Wagner etc to Washington.

    And Lakers fans think that they can blackmail other teams into pushing the trade back for days. :D

    Sorry, that’s what I meant, why is the amount of salary different now?! Such a crock of ****, but that definitely points to Kawhi staying.

    on 6 July they can have artificially more capspace than if they did the trade on 5 July. That's why all the talk these days about Pelinka not having a clue what he's doing. Because if they completed the trade even later on 30 July they wouldn't even have to send away Wagner and go to have enough.

    For more information ask Bima.

    Aside from not wanting a powerhouse in the Lakers, is anyone not wanting Kawhi to go to the Lakers just to see them get screwed? The Lakers haven't been relevant for years, but my hatred for the Lakers, though dormant is still very much alive.

    You just said the opposite, that if Kawhi doesn’t sign by tomorrow then he cannot receive the max.

    Kawhi has to sign with the Lakers before the AD trade goes through. What did I say opposite?
    The AD trade is to be completed tomorrow.

    Kawhi will be officially a silent diva in mah books. I can imagine this happening for several more days.
