Literally everyone knows its 100% done. Everyone. Also, a 100% guarantee that your team will win a ring. Congrats in advance. No need for me to talk too much trash this year, besides the usual "this is a bought ring," "doesn't mean anything," "bandwagon," etc. This team is going to be one of the best ever, they'll be no competition in the NBA and there is no point to really have a playoffs this year. It's a continuation of KD on the Dubs dominance, except a different team. We haven't had real competition since the Cavs beat the Dubs in seven.

Personally, I like watching competition a lot but I understand Laker fans are pumped up right now. No one else in the NBA is though lol

Will be cool to see if they can 4 peat. Or maybe even 5 in a row?

The Sac guarantees and over dramatic 'cancel the playoff' comments are a real treat

Let's just worry about getting him. Then try to win that first title.

James, AD and Kawhi? That's not fair.

s**t... it's a possibility but Lebron is getting old and he has gone Hollywood. We'll see how his health holds up. This year is a 100% lock though

Chris Haynes on @ESPNLosAngeles says Kawhi has not made a decision, still going through the process. Going to take his time, expected to be a couple of days. All 3 teams still in play.

Does he get paid every time someone checks his social media? If so I'd wait as long as I can. 😂

Literally everyone knows its 100% done.

Lol, stalker.... I know you're begging for me to respond to you today so you're welcome. There are so many tweets that say it's a done deal. I can post all of those. If he doesnt go to the Lakers I'll eat crow. It's entertainment man, not that big of a deal.

I still think he goes to the Lakers. But who knows man? Even being a San Diego Aztecs fan here Kawhi has always been different. He is quiet and nobody can really figure him out. Maybe he will hold a press conference that he is going to the Portland Trail Blazers....

But I still think he will be a Laker when it's all said and done. He wants to be in southern CA at least for the long term. If it was Toronto that is a 1 or 2 year deal or at least a long term deal with an opt out. What on earth do the Clippers have that the Lakers don't have? Nothing at all IMO. If he wants southern CA it would seem to be the Lakers as it is more so a team he cheered for growing up and it has the better composition of star players to win now.

I have no idea why all these other players sign in hours of free agency and Kawhi takes days and days? But that is kind of typical Kawhi. He is always different and does things different and is hard to read. I would still bet on the Lakers personally but nobody really knows what is in Kawhi Leonard's head.

Somebody also figured out that Kawhi will save $11.4 million over the first 4 years of his contract if he signs with the Lakers due to the high tax rate in Canada. Interesting tid bit.

Why hasn't that motherf**ker signed yet
