Not just contenders. They'd be the runaway favorite.Pumpkinhead said:
Kawhi going to Lakers, not Clippers, is the smart play if he wants to live in L.A. The Lakers is by far the more prestigious franchise and Anthony Davis is close to his same age. So Kawhi can age with A.D. as another superstar teammate even as LeBron enters end of prime. And they will be a title favorite immediately next season.
I have seen a few rumors that say Kawhi is going to go to the Lakers and will take less than the max so they can sign Danny Green and Cousins. Still holding out hope its LAC or Toronto.Iowaggie said:
Woj on SVP just said there really isn't a market for DeMarcus Cousins.
So maybe he is getting a bi-annual exception or minimum again.
Surely he ends up in LA.
IF Houston was ever a realistic option, then Jimmy choosing the Heat over the Rockets and Sixers tells you all you need to know about his mindset. Sure, Miami is a more attractive city and he gets to be "The Man" instead of second or third fiddle, but at what cost? Have fun with those first round playoff exits for years to come, at least he will be close to the beach so he won't have to go far for vacationGuitarsoup said:
Philly offered 5y/190mm to Jimmy Butler and he turned it down so he could go to Miami where they would build the team around him.
