You 100% right. In hindsight all of the signs were there and I know I ignored them. They kept saying Kawhi’s team wanted this on the hush and you just kept hearing more and more shit out of the Raptors and Lakers camp to the point we didn’t even think Clippers were actually in the race.
the biggest clue was lou and beverly being underpaid...but I thought it was just a desperate move by them/clips hoping to get kawhi but it was clearly orchestrated in hindsight...wow the payoff was worth the wait...just wish KD coulda been 100% and ready to play this upcoming season...the chip is COMPLETELY up for grabs lol
