          Bonus: Kawhi signs for the max term and max years. Gives team chance to build around him. Free agency not his cup of tea. Can still get a hefty deal at 33.

            I'll guess 2 + 1 as well. If it's a 1+1, everyone will keep asking/pondering if he'll stay the whole season, just like this year, I don't think Kawhi likes that. He strikes me as a guy who just want to play basketball in peace.

            Also, Raptors has a relatively complex and bulky playbook, we heard players comment that in the past (I think Lin & Gasol). These guys are pros sure, but any time you move to a new team you gotta start from the beginning, and I'll venture that's annoying. Feels like they're just hitting their stride in Nurse's system, and if they have the chance to bring everyone back, everyone would like that (Kawhi included).

                I'd be the biggest fan of this but it's basically impossible to get JV back this summer unless he has absolutely zero market value.

                  I'm sure there were discussion with the Grizzlies before turning down 17 million..

                            Totally forgot about him.. d'oh.

                            Got a nice set anyway I think. I was also considering Marc but I think that's too obvious.
