Yeah because Kawhi hasn't had the last year to figure out how the Raptors already operate
The Raptors isn't the only team he is looking at though. Everyone knows that if both Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson had not went down with injuries, that Toronto would never have won the championship. That means he is looking at the teams in Los Angeles because he believes that he may have a better chance to win then in Toronto. Good basket club, did everything they needed to - but it's not about Toronto any more

Are you this pleasant in person?
I can be more pleasant to trolls like you if they really have your avatar's look... Are you really good enough in blowing it in your mouth?

I'd be very surprised if you ever have to make that choice. And I wasn't talking about you. You're the board narcissist apparently.
No I was never good enough for the NBA but I was darn good on my high school team.

It seems to be a fairly recent thing where max money matters less than playing with your friends and taking less to have better teammates around you. Which makes sense as the numbers get bigger. If it's a difference between making $5 mil a year and $8 mil a year, that's significant. If it's $43 mil vs $40 mil, who really cares if it means you have a better team?

Maybe the next CBA will reflect the new reality somehow.
Seems to have started with the Lakers. I don't remember any other teams doing it, but mainly with the New CBA. It's a powerful tool in saving up cap space for an all star player and seems like to me it has been effective

It's nice to know that all it takes to be treated nicer by you is if I have a sex change operation to look like Naomi Scott. I guess that's not much to ask.

Once more, no one asked for your life story
Well since you said I'd never need to worry about an NBA contract I thought I'd just let everyone know what a stud basketball player I was in high school.

No one believes that either

I a lot people do care because it's not just about the money you are paid by the team. Championship titles equals endorsements and business opportunities far beyond a few extra million on the court
