You would need to up the offer or risk having a Pg13 situation.If I'm the Lakers, around December I start calling Toronto to see if I can get Kawhi for Hart/Kuzma/filler or Ball/Hart/filler or maybe even just one young guy and filler. His value is gonna keep dropping and if its clear he's not going to resign, it's perfect chance to go ahead and get him to make sure you've got him in hand. Get him on the cheap, don't let him go elsewhere or have the chance to meet with other teams in free agency next summer.
The Clippers would offer more and we have SG-A, a home grown talent.
If you want him by the deadline, Masai gonna go with highest bidder.
Remember: he loves abusing the Knicks.
He did it in Denver with Melo and in Lebronto with Bargnani.
He won't hesitate to go to that well again and you could be in a bit of trouble if he lands in New York.
They'd have Zingers, Kawhi and the ability to add Kyrie and Butler.
Punchline of my post.....I wouldn't fuck around trying to lowball a shark like Masai.
