Apollo wrote: View PostJames Harden signed a $220M endorsement deal. Kawhi is rumored to want a much higher endorsement deal than $20M; Jordan Brand has been paying him $500k/yr. even though he's a top five player. To ge to the point, yes, I could have an impact. If he can land a big deal in Toronto this season then that disproves a bunch of the shit talk in regards to Toronto by the American media types. They will kick Toronto through the dirt and finish with something like "hey, but I like Toronto, it's my favorite NBA city". Right.

If Kawhi's group thinks that simply moving him to a bigger market is going make marketing departments jump all over him, then he's going to be hugely disappointed. He's just not that marketable. And no advertiser in Canada is going to pay him anything until he commits here long term because he's perceived as being non-authentic and no brand wants their image to be associated with that.

golden wrote: View PostThat's the problem with Kawhi and marketing. Athletes get paid endorsements based on popularity, personality and other intangibles that have nothing to do with on-court performance. Tim Duncan is a top 15 all-time player, but he hardly made any money in endorsements ($2M/yr at his peak).

You're making a lot of assumptions on what Canadian advertisers will or won't do. You're making a big assumption that only Canadian advertisers would be interested in doing business with him in Toronto.
