Kawhis decision... East 2020 hierarchy

[Briantir]

Danny should wait to see what Kawhis decision  will be in fact every GM who plans on contending in the East should wait and see what Kawhi does...

if Kawhi goes west we go win now mode if he stays in Toronto...

gg rest of the East Toronto should be favored to come out of East again

There is no path for us to win now anymore. Even if Kawaii does leave, we still aren't better than Philly or Milwaukee.

And why is that? Remeber that Philly was few seconds away from the finals?

Butler and Harris will be gone. Down to Simmons and Embiid again.

Latest intel says Butler will stay in Philly. Don't know about Harris.

I half expect kawhi to join the lakers to form a big 3 honestly.

I don't think there's anyway Philly will pay both Harris and Butler, given that Simmons will be up for a max contract soon. If they were smart, they'd keep Harris and let Butler go to the Knicks or Lakers or whoever. He's a destroyer of locker rooms, and Harris is an all around good guy who gives them a better outside shooter than Butler, something they need with Simmons at the point.

IMO, Kawhi is gone to the Clippers as soon as he can.

First player to win finals MVP and leave? Kawhi breaking all kinds of records...

Isn't it odd that there's hardly any "breaking news" or speculation about Kawhi, other than the rumor all year that he's going to the Clips? There's no pics of him moving out of his house in Toronto, or leaking news about him buying a house in LA. In the meantime social media is rife with rumors about KD, Kyrie, even Horford. Kyrie's probably the biggest free agent prize left and he's flying under the radar.

I think there's a good chance that both stay but if one leaves I think it will be Harris.  Butler didn't destroy the Sixers locker room last season.  He's a difficult personality but Embiid isn't Towns.  Butler brings a lot that Harris doesn't.  He's a good versatile defender.  He's good at running the PnR.  He's a go to scorer in the 4th.  I think Butler would be harder for them to replace than Harris.

Reports Kawhi enrolled his daughter into a private school and has purchased property in Toronto... twitter blowing up people asking to respect his privacy and not leak the name of the school Kawhis daughter will be attending.

[GreenlyGreeny]

I think Kawhi is happy being Mr. Canada and knows LeBron/AD will cast too much of a shadow if he goes to LA. Why not continue to rule the East and hope for injuries to LA and GS?

East post Kawhi:
level 1: Bucks
level 2: Philly without one of Butler/Harris, Pacers
level 3: Celtics, Raptors without Kawhi, Nets plus Kyrie
