Kawhi ultimately not choosing to stay in Toronto feels like the incorrect canon event 🤣 If he stays and PG came through somehow? Wow that would have been something.

[@dolby8334]

If it could have been Kawhi, PG13, and Siakam... That would have been a big 3. If they could have stayed healthy, its hard to not see them winning a chip just by the amount of defense and scoring power out of those 3 dudes. Healthy, that would have been the best big 3 we have ever seen. Injuries held back the Clippers with Kawhi and PG. If Kawhi didn't get hurt in the playoffs 2021... I think the Clippers would have won the chip against the Bucks. The Suns went 6 games against the Clippers without Kawhi. Kawhi was arguably the best player in the playoffs too, before injury..

Funny how every ESPN and American media sports narrative is that Kawhi was only picking between the Lakers and Clippers, yet he took a private plan to Toronto for a meeting. Makes no sense how Toronto is completely being erased from that conversation. Now the truth comes out. The media rarely tells the truth.

Bruh! Imagine if Kawhi resigned with Toronto and brought Paul George with him. He could’ve gotten a statue outside that arena. Those fans went crazy whole country was lit off that basketball 🏀 championship 🔥

[@nbarealtalker]

Kawhi should’ve signed a 1and1 to run it back in Toronto. Likely would’ve made the finals again in the bubble. And you could tell that’s what Kawhi was thinking on the bench in game 7 against Denver in the bubble. Never seen him look so pissed off.

PG is not afraid of getting a fine for Tampering. Man just signed a $212M contract so a $100K fine is nothing.... All for the postcast ....... Or maybe this is FU to the Clippers. The definition is : "The NBA states that any organization member, coach, player, executive, or owner cannot speak to a player on rival teams to lure him to join their team. This includes publicly showing interest in acquiring the player or approaching his agent about a possible trade."

The funniest thing about the whole situation to me is that you think you deserve max contracts when you haven't done anything in the playoffs except for get hurt and that's about it.

You had multiple teams that were stacked to the gills with great starters and a deep bench with veterans who were really d*** good and you got nowhere.
