I disagree to a point. I think his decision really hinged on the Clips getting another top player and it truly took that long for the PG trade to get worked out.
I agree that the Clips were probably his preferred destination, but he wasn't going by himself.
I agree, and perhaps the Raptors were a short-term fall back if he couldn't get anyone, but I don't get the feeling that the Lakers were ever truly in the mix. If they were, why wait? He wasn't going to get a better partner than AD (if Lebron is too old to really count). You could argue Durant, but his decision was made VERY early on.
