Kawhi did what Kawhi wAZ supposed 2 do! And why are we all acting like this is something new? All of the owners have taken part in their own schemes one way or the other, and in MOST cases, playing with a little cash isn't hurting anyone. A transaction is a transaction. Could have Been a, "side deal" that the pair had established (outside) of their NBA contract. Sometimes you have to move some "things" around in order to make things "fit." Making Business more complex, though with the proper approach, things could definitely get done. Now, who ever keeps their end of the Bargain and stick to the "code" or not will Be another conversation to Be had.

You can not forget about the youngster "VJ" Edgecomb now Big Bro @MagicJohnson Probably the highest anticipated pre/post season EVER. These super teams are allowing these "mid" players to think that, "ANY Rings that were Bought, carries NO WEIGHT to them. These rings must Be EARNED at the highest level. Then really have the audacity to REALLY BELIEVE that he (LBJ) deserves a seat at the table of LEGENDS when in all actuality, this generation complains about these "watered down" rules. The "W" has its own league... The dudes are getting paid to SACRIFICE their BODIES for the SPORT. Not showing favoritism, disguising and dismissing the recognition of this Behavior is standing on the thin lines of its integrity and is ruining the game each day by choosing to condomn it by continuing to allow this type of behavior.
Honestly, what owner DOES NOT have this type of mindset? How do you think Magic Johnson got the 5% share (in '96) that he'd sell just recently after the lakers switched owners when Jeanie B sold most of her shares to Magic Johnson's "Dodgers" business associate. How do you think they are in the positions they are in? Sure isn't By abiding By, "all rules" trust me. Knowing your worth, it is key! And in all honestly, had I independently done what KL done in Toronto (in '19) to the league, #IDefWuldBFeelinMyselfToo! KL nor his unk is not wrong for negotiating, they just understand how business is ran and understands how to get his, "up-front & a lil extra on the Back end" for the inconvenience. After KL retires, the owners are NOT going to Be thinking about KL or Dennis. It is a MANS GAME, with these "league rules" that are supposedly create some sense of structure when in all reality had JB felt like she had not Been thrown "under the Bus" Besides the fact that EVERYONE has known already, put JB in a tough spot Bc had KL signed with the Lakers, it would have fell Back on JB and as we would all agree that the approach and the lack of, "self control" was the man's downfall. That is why having that kind of, "integrity" nowadays it is very important. Hard work, and taking accountablity shows rare traits in character mirroring a version of integrity that gets often overlooked.
