You have to pick Kawhi or KD in 2019

WindyCityLakerFan

With Durant's comments on LeBron many are speculating he is going to the Lakers next year.

With Kawhi rumored to want to come who do you pick.

Hands down Durant. You'd have the best two players in the NBA and weaken the best team in the NBA. I don't care if you don't like the guy, this is too easy.

Assuming Kawhi is able to return to form (something we have no evidence of yet), isn't this basically like asking what's better: winning $500 in the MegaMillions or the Powerball? Either way, you're set.

Durant and quite easily

LeBron
Kuzma
Durant
Ingram
Lonzo

+ Hart, Wagner, Svi

down the stretch... no team could raise a pimple our our asses

but if we get Kawhi, I'd be equally as happy/excited. We'd be the team to take out KD/Curry and the Warriors.

LeBron is not stupid. He knows what winning a ring or 2 in LA means for his legacy. He knows he needs another guy and I think he knows he can recruit one. Between KD, Kwahi, Butler, and to a lesser extent Klay, I think he feels confident he can elevate these young kids this year, put on an entertaining and successful season (maybe in the WCF) and then go to a max player next summer (I think he'll go hard for KD) and tell them to come be the final piece and then it becomes their team.

I'm sorry, can someone please give me a reason that you'd turn down Durant if you're the Lakers? I'm trying to think of a logical one and having an issue.

KD easily. Weakens GS, Kawhi's injury risk, and a bunch of other reasons.

Durant, but I don't see him coming here. He's trying to pass Lebron up and he'd still get crap for following Lebron to LA. I think he's going to the Knicks.

I would choose a healthy KL any day because he is the far superior defender, however I will go with kD for 2 reasons:

1) we don’t know if KL is healthy;
2) we weaken GSW by signing KD.

The best thing that can happen to our chances to win a championship in 2019-2020 is Durant leaving. Let's speak it into existence.

KD. I currently don't care for him at all but that would change in an instant.

how about Durant and ask KL to opt in and then traded to lakers?

Kawhi is 2 years younger with another year of mileage subtracted.

In a vacuum it is close because Kawhi should be able to give us more quality years and is perhaps a better 2 way player while KD is easily the better offensive player and no slouch on defense either.

Outside of a vacuum it has to be KD for the shear fact that it makes us better while weakening our biggest competition. His impact is two fold while Kawhi is only one.

I would love to have either of them (even though KD is very unlikable and seems like a front runner with a fragile ego) but I don't think KD is likely at all.

No, one doesn't have to choose between them. Plans must options to include neither one.

I want KD to stay with the warriors. I just wanna beat them at their best tbh

Give me KL and another year of development for the young core.

KD since it weakens a direct division foe and title contender, plus he doesn't know what he's really worth since he keeps taking paycuts.

If he just takes less than $30 million, Lakers don't even need to stretch Deng to get him.
