He would make us instant contenders, but he will likely sign a 1+1, has moved teams almost every year if he does this, and has not made it to the finals two years in a row on a very good Clippers team. If he bails on you in a year, we will have very little cap space to replace him with due to Luka extension.
I feel like you have to pull that trigger if you know you got him, but if its this wait and see bullshit you need to move on.
This is where I think the benefit of Nico really comes through whether we get Kawhi or not.
If Kawhi and Nico really do have a good relationship, I don't see Kawhi dragging it out just to mess with the Mavs when he knows they have no shot.
