Leonard, make the decision before Sunday at Noon......or we have to trade for AD and lose a max slot.

If we do sign Leonard and then get Rondo and Green. I could see a starting lineup of:

G-Rondo (25mpg or so)
G-Green (25-27mpg)
F-James (33-34mpg)
F-Leonard (35mpg)
C-AD (35-36mpg)

Kuz would get a ton of minutes off the bench and be a possible 6th man of the year candidate.

Probably tomorrow or Saturday.

He at least owes that to everyone waiting for his decision

If he doesn’t sign before or on the 6th, he screws up players involved in AD trade as well as a number of summer league rookies who cant play until signed.

Saw a guy wearing a Leonard Toronto Jersey, he must know something.

Exactly. I respect giving the guy his privacy and letting him take his time making a decision but if it starts to affect other teams and players, he's being a real douche about it

What can possibly change that would require him to wait, except seeing if the Clips can trade for another max player?
Seems like there would be leaks if that was happening, though.

I am various people ready to update me via text when the decision goes down.....I really wish he'd do it before 8pm PST tonight.

Noon is the deadline on Sunday from what I read.

He had his meeting with the Raptors yesterday and today is the 4th of July (even if he is celebrating in Canada) but there should be no excuses for not announcing his decision tomorrow

LOL this is the biggest decision of his life.

Lakers can easily move on if they don't wish to wait.

His process been no different than 2 out of the 3X LBJ switched teams and when KD went to GSW.

Lakers knew what they were getting to by putting all their eggs in one basket.

I would have focused on quality role players because AD/Bron/Kuz with some real quality role players is more than enough to compete and/or win titles IMO.

Kawhi wasn't really needed for the Lakers especially once KD went to Brooklyn

At this point, Lakers have to wait it out.
If Khawi is pulling a LeBron, then so be it.
I just didnt think he would.

Yeah I agree they have no choice at this point but once KD went to Brooklyn on Sunday afternoon, I wouldn't have cared about getting Kawhi. Would have either focus on getting a starting PG or the quality role players that were available. They missed out and now they have no choice but to hope Kawhi pick them.

I completely get it and I agree.

But like TurnUp said, the Lakers have to wait now.

I get this is a huge decision but so was KDs and Kyries going to Brooklyn

I'm fairly certain he's already decided. Why wait to announce?

Why did LeBron jerk off the Cavs and Heat?
