2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

another factor to consider on the Kawhi angle...
If Kawhi and Nico do indeed have a good relationship, do you think Kawhi is going to lead him on and make him think Mavs have a chance when they don't? 

The more I think on it, I don't think we'll just be waiting around without a chance. I could see Kawhi letting Mavs know that they are out before FA starts if that's the case.

There will be no pitch meetings.

You have to ask yourself this - why did Kawhi only essentially sign a 2-year deal? He needs another to get the 10 year max, so wouldn’t he have done a 3+1 to get there and have the player option for a 4th as insurance?

Kawhi is fickle. Yes, he wanted to go home.. 2 years ago. He also loves basketball and cares about his legacy, especially compared to guys like LeBron and Durant. Kawhi was not on the phone negotiating with Sam Presti when the Clippers gave up that enormous trade package for Paul George and gave themselves almost no roster flexibility from that point on.

I think I’ll be proven right here.
