Forget Lebron recruiting Kawhi, let's just get Kawhi to recruit Durant!

The funny thing is people are so afraid about Kawhi not wanting to play here or sitting out etc....




Yet fail to comprehend there he is working with MULTIPLE staff members of ours already lol

Was just about to post this. Good sign to see Raptors' coaches, including newly hired Phil Handy, there.

EDIT: holy shit, Kawhi's hands are huge LMAO

He looks like he could crush that basketball with his hands. Great that he is playing with top tier talent. Will help him get back into game shape that much faster. And on a side note Kawhi is getting to know how to defend them better.

[Puffer]

Great to see the Toronto guys repping the franchise. And great that Kawhi sees them doing it.

Even better that he's ALREADY (during his summer) getting INVOLVED with our staff (instead of ignoring them like SAS or sticking only with his inner circle -- that's a major step).

He's not just observing it, he's working WITH them.

While everyone is making as if he's been hiding in a bubble so far he's had long conversations with Nurse and opening up to our staff and building relationships with them on HIS time (this isn't team training camp, he doesn't have to be with them).

So, there are reports out there that apparently Kawhi sneezed and ripped a fart at the same time. People are now trying to analyze that fact as an indicator/gauge of his overall health, his level of play in Toronto, the chances of re-signing, his former relationship with the spurs, as well as how this relates to his childhood. Predictions are under way, though no consensus so far.

Yeah but I dont like Lebron being there, sounds like the NBA needs to check its tempering policy (anyway its pocket change to these guys so its total B.S).

Nobody's worried about Kawhi not wanting to play here or sitting out, that was debunked weeks ago by Woj. People are somewhat worried that he will bail after one year.

So it's a glass half-empty/half-full situation, as he's there working out with the guy who probably most wants him in LA, Lebron.

Nobody should be worried about that first:
1) First worry: Will Kawhi be injury free?!
2) Can Kawhi take this Raptors team all the way to the finals?!

Once 1 & 2 are complete than worry about resigning him.

If Lebron, Kawhi & KD team, then up then I'm done with the NBA. That's like 10X better than the current Warriors, who are already 10X better than the rest of the NBA.

Re Lebron: maybe it's tampering, maybe it's just friendship.

I'm not convinced yet that that what the Lakers did (attempt to field a competitive team by bringing it talented players with red flags onto a team which already has Lavar Ball and by extension, his father) is going to pay off in regards to recruiting Kawhi.

Firstly, even with Lebron, I'm not yet convinced that that team can make it into the playoffs in the ever-ferocious west, never mind getting that important sixth-place-or-better finish to avoid being cannon fodder for GSW or the Rockets.

Secondly, that combination of players in that market with that combination of team personalities is at least somewhat likely to make it plain that the media situation down there is almost as relentless and as potentially player-unfriendly as the Leafs media situation has historical been and the Knicks media situation.

Thirdly, if team red-flag has major dysfunction during the year, that's not going to reflect well on the current management of the organization, storied or not.

All that said, there are no guarantees. But I'm going to hold off on any pessimism until I've seen the on-court product and the off-court problems (or lack of them) in both places. We have not only the advantage of being able to make the best offer here, but we the first-mover advantage as well. There may eventually be a time for the wringing of hands, but it is not yet.

For the record, the guy who posted the picture, calls Kawhi "The Ghost," and whose bio includes that, is Phil Handy himself.
