Kawhi's knees are (frank)ed. Clippers aren't winning anything.

Also, Doc Rivers isn't a good coach.

Another thing the Raptors got on them.

I very much hope he does, but he probably doesn't.

His main reason going there was still going home, and I can't fault him for that. But his evaluation was definitely way off.

If we're being critical of his choices, he should've gone to the Lakers.
- GreatGigInTheSky

I think if he went to the Lakers, a lot of people would say he wanted to be with LeBron.
Should have stayed in Toronto..

And of course the same morons who want the Leafs to blow it up and trade everybody want to trade SIakam. They never learn
- RogerRoeper

Would be a very stupid thing to do. He had a bad (awful) playoffs in a (frank)ed up season/year.

He's still the Raptors best player.

Doc has a history of blowing 3-1 Playoff series leads.

Wide load management?

I agree he should've stayed, for both the team and odds at winning.

But going home was for sure his tops thought. But you have to think, if winning is also something you badly want to do, then the Lakers give you a much better shot. Who cares is LeBron is there. Basketball has been stacking teams for going on a decade now. There's no integrity anymore. Just go win.

Tell the boys about your Magic Johnson move to show off for your boys,,,, and what happened.

For sure.

Siakam was nowhere even close to as good as he can be in these playoffs. If he showed up, Raptors win.

You would have to think Raps will go all out to sign Giannis, if it happens it will take some pressure and attention off Siakam.

He's a guy who would gladly play here.

He's also got a history of only doing anything when his roster is beyond stacked.

He's extremely overrated. I'd fire him if I was the Clippers. First thing that needs to change for them.

Would be great for them. He might want to stay in Milwaukee, though.

If he does leave, I would hope the Raptors would be all over him.

Greek Freak would be perfect for the Raps and a great fit for him. American sports media likes to pretend the Raps don't exist. When the Raps won the title I thought Steven A was going to cry. Greek Freak will thrive with less pressure and he'd have some excellent teammates to compliment him.

Sooooooooo...

Devil's advocate here ...

Masks are working. Our numbers are going up right now due largely to social gatherings without masks. Restaurants, bars, parks, bdays, etc.... anywhere there is an excuse (eating/drinking) to remove your mask.

Cohorting, mask wearing, more convenient testing (It's 2020 ..3 hours is too long), and a reduction in socializing without masks will keep everything stable.

Vaccinations are a big threshold to us getting back to "normal" ....but numbers can be kept in the very acceptable range by doing the things we're being asked to do ....better.

Take out joints good. Eat in joints bad.

LeBron seems to choose whatever team he thinks has a chance..

Think last season was the first in 8 or so years that he wasn't in the Finals? Crazy.

Because he's eccentric? Or because he is out in the open loving his team and paying a poop-ton of money to make them better?

What a great summer

He sure sounds like he’s staying.

Ya, that makes sense. They are taking the contracts for the following year and not the current year ..so maybe.

Rielly's got two more years. But Hyman and Andersen wouldn't need protection.

I love the fact he went to the Clippers.

You win a championship for the Lakers? Ho hum.

You deliver for the Clippers? Legendary.
