https://www.sportsnet.ca/basketball/nba/rivers-clippers-landed-leonard-kawhi-said-want-play/ Interesting read. I didn't realize Kawhi had this kind of power. He wanted to play for Doc and he wanted to play with PG specifically. I thought I.D.I.O.T.
Kawhi is not out here wielding infinity stones. Kawhi was THE marquee free agent. Kawhi made a demand to a team(s) desperate for his services. What Lebron and his team did with AD, earlier with The Heat, Cavs, and what he continues to do now, is real power.
I agree that he doesn't have LeBron power, but he had more pull than I thought. Who saw PG going to the Clips? He demanded and he received.
If that’s how it really went down, I don’t see a reason to share it since Kawhi doesn’t like things to come out and it looks a bit like teasing the Lakers with the meeting at a hotel as opposed to the one at Doc’s house. Also, Kawhi spoke the truth about state of Clippers and how he probably really preferred them. I doubt that FA part though. It does not really change the perception of Kawhi from the other reports. I am a bit disappointed but with Harden and Lebron wanting certain guys, it kind of makes sense.
