No doubt equal offers and Kawhi is a Raptor. Had to be a clear better offer by LA to send him there.It would have depended on how much better the offer was. If it was close, he wasn't sending Kawhi to the Lakers. But if there was enough of a difference that he would have looked stupid not taking it, then he would have bitten the bullet and taken the deal.
And the Lakers offer wasn't bad either. If the Spurs were looking to rebuild, then the Lakers likely had the better offer and probably by enough to get Pop to deal with them.
But, the Spurs weren't looking to rebuild, so the Raptors offer was better for them.
