Pop knows KL is gonna be a free agent after this season and if the clippers don’t win this season. He leaving the door open for a return of kL just my theory
Dude left because he wanted to go home. He ain’t leaving
It is a pipe dream of mine, and of course the Spurs and every other team in this league is monitoring the Kawhi situation.
If the clippers don’t win this year, they don’t have many options on improving this roster and paying Kawhi, Paul George and James Harden.
Spurs and OKC are the two teams that can pay him and have the talent needed to complete for many years to come.
I’m open to it provided the medicals check out. Anyone who doesn’t is spiteful rather than actually rooting for the team to succeed
I think Pop has a respect for Kawhi and was standing up for him. I can understand and respect that, though I think the approach and timing of doing it was misguided.
I think Pop just embraces the humanity of the sport over the business of the sport. I believe he is genuine in his appreciation and love for everyone he was worked with. You don’t forget all of the work, time, commitment,and hours and hours spent making something from nothing.
That said…I don’t think Kawhi coming back is in his plans…but who knows?
I would be happy with that. Kawhi can give you 50 games a year, playoffs and mentor Vassell and Wemby. He has won two titles, one as THE GUY. It would help our team history heal too. Idk if it happens but I would throw all cap space at him if he’s available. Then draft two young players (tho they may trade them for win now pieces)
Players already want to come here to play with Pop and Wemby add Kawhi and we good
