So let's see. Kawhi knows he can't be the alpha big dog...but he can be the hired gun best player on the team like KD on the Warriors.

So, sign and trade, Kawhi for Wiggins, Minny pick, other Warriors first, Poole...this would be if he tells them I am not coming back no way so get something for me. Clippers go rebuild.

Go Mavericks!!

I should add, Kawhi would by all means want to do a 2 year or even 1 and 1...hired gun like I said. Just like KD never really completely joined the team, I wouldn't expect Kawhi to nor too stay long. Just 1-2 more titles please.

He stays in Cali this way too.

And the legit answer is that he has accomplished enough that 1 bad game is not going to tarnish anything.

He is who he is.

Great player, bad leader.

He excels in good cultures. If you're asking him to build the culture you see what happens

He'll be looking to correct his mistake and join Lebron and the Lakers like he should have in the first place. :nod:

Legit questions

I don't know about the whole legacy thing. Toronto made a huge trade letting go of a very popular player for him to win a title and he pulled it off. And they beat a team that was better than them to do it in the Bucks.But his defense is always what's separated him from the other superstars. Yeah, there's other guys who can play great defense when the team needs it but Leonard brings it all game. Clips locked down in the 4th to get back into it. He just isn't the guy who you want if you need someone to put the offense on his shoulders vs other superstar players.

Perfect fit for the Warriors. #lightyearsahead

Great player, bad leader.

This isn't just about 1 bad game as Shannon said. He disappeared in the big moments Games 5-7 vs Denver last year as well.

lol

I doubt that's what he really said, but Rondo was definitely not happy with that possession. Those situations are exactly why they brought Rondo in and Kawhi just did his own thing.

Even Lebron deferred to Playoff Rondo at times late in games.

It's not what he said, it's just a funny meme.

LOL.
