Kawhi announcing to stay in Canada on the fourth would be kinda funny

Maybe it's why Drake is offering to involve him in his record label. Kawhi as president and 50% owner?
Los Angeles offers many business opportunities like that and I think he may have been exploring that part of the equation

Need to give the Canadian government time to pass a new tax code.

I’m sure the PM has some sort of executive power where he can wave part of the taxes or keep the taxes and give him and his buddies government land.

Interesting article on that. Due to taxes, Leonard would earn 11 million dollars for the Lakers because of their taxes

This is why big FA’s in basketball and baseball don’t head north of the border and why the CFL isn’t a real minor league for the NFL. Toronto actually is as nice or nicer than a good portion of American cities with franchises, just the taxes are crazy.

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

Keep grasping at straws


Drakes Brand OVO and New Balance are going to come out with a collaboration

Also, Kawhi's brand could be stifled, overshadowed, or obscured by LeBron and the very much storied Lakers franchise. Staying in Toronto does give him a chance to do his own thing and have the spotlight all to himself.

He should want the spotlight, why play 2nd fiddle in LA?

My friend who was on Twitter and follows this guy who is friends with this guy on Facebook who screenshots this guy on Snapchat said that they know a guy who was once roommates with a guy who washed the car of a guy who once got Kawhi's autograph.

And he said no one has a fucking clue what Kawhi's going to do!
