How would you deal with the salary cap though?
if kawhi is suspended, it wont be for 30 games, it will be for season. so you are not giving up 2 unprotected firsts to clippers for that. it would be a 2027 swap and two 2nds with ingram and gradey. what are you smoking giving up 2 unprotected 2031 and 2033 firsts when kawhi basically cant play for the entire year, where he will be a free agent to sign next year. i wouldnt even give any picks if kawhi is suspended as you getting him as a ufa. just give them gradey and ingram and tell them thats it.
what you are suggesting is raptors give up an unprotected first, two 2nds and a 2027 swap for a UFA lol. clippers getting no picks if kawhi is suspended as he will be a ufa signing. you tell clippers you keep ingram and gradey but no picks lol.
The common sense solution to all this is to suspend Kawhi for 20-30 games without pay, but let the Raptors cosching staff work it into his load management. He's going to miss 20-30 games anyways – this way Kawhi pays the price, but the Raptors don't get affected.
i been watching you from like 50 subs. crazy to see how far your chanel’s come. you’re always on point and up to dates. keep it up!
The audacity of the Clippers front office…
He will NOT sign with the Raptors if he becomes a FA, dont be so delusional.
That’s exactly what’s gonna happen. Don’t poke the beer.
If it’s voided would we even have the money to afford Kawhi as a free agent ?
Rescind the unprotected 1st rounders
Where is the cap space for a max contract? You are an idiot for making this shit for clicks.
Why did the NBA wait this long knowing this situation for awhile? If they are trying to screw a team like this it's clearly very bad for the league. Let's hope you are right, but it's now a very convoluted mess creating a lot of uncertainty for Raptors and what to do next and when.
Why now nba? What took so long and almost done deal? Kawhi gave raptors a trophy and he is punishable doing that in the first place.😂 now nba obviously stop him going back and must end up in lakers team😂😂stay u s kawhi
This absolutely would not work, how do you not know that? This is some grange level garbage thinking
Ok morons lemme type slow for u guys …ben does not think they will all be on the same roster …if KL becomes a free agent then we would trade ingram and gradey for picks and cap relief and expiring contracts ….then trade the contracts for more picks and cash …free up the money we need and bam we are in business
We have no cap space how do we sign kawhi if his contract is voided
He probably ends up in golden state if this happens, no?
The Raptors wouldn’t have cap room to sign Kawhi and I’m guessing the Clippers would lose all rights to him, which would rule out a sign and trade.
Love watching the RD community grow lately, been watching your videos since before the first Kawhi trade. You’re always positive respectful so congrats on all your recent success!!

Why would we be in jeopardy? We are the aggrieved! This is a Clippers screw up.
Almost at 50K subs, RD! Keep it cookin!
There is not enough money to pay kawhi and BI on same team
Why now after 9 days ? damn NBA!!!Damn Adam Silver!!!
Why do I have a feeling this is all premeditated to get Ballmer off the hook.
Bobby played this extremely well. He forced the league to take action, that's why he's been delaying this. Once the league drops the hammer he's going to have all the leverage he needs to get Kawhi at a steep discount. He's got the Clippers by the balls now. Kawhi must've known something like this would happen as well. He forced the Cluppers to trade him to the Raptors by making it publicly known he would only resign with the Raptors. Now it's mid-July and all the other available stars have already been moved. So the Clippers are going to have to see this through with Toronto post-punishment-announcement. If Bobby's smart he tells the presumably-picks-starved Clippers "you can keep our picks, but that means we're keeping Gradey. Here are some other minimum guys you can have to make the money match"
The LA Clippers should be banned from drafting beyond 30th overall for the next 20 years as punishment!
PRETTY HARD TO FINESSE ANYONE WHEN YALL POST EVERYTHING FOR EVERYONE TO SEE !! AND USING TERMS LIKE "FINESSE THE NBA" PROBABLY DOESNT LOOK TO FAVORABLE
NBA suspends DaKlaw then Toronto is SOL
This is the stupidest video ever. We can't just sign Kawhi with out dumping salary.
Interesting. We can sign Kawhi and trade Ingram and Dick for draft picks.
Bro, salary cap left the chat? Where does Raptors have the caps pace to sign Kawhi.
This could actually benefit the raptors. Based on the investigation the price on Kawhi could actually be much lower and that’s what some people fail to understand. We might get Kawhi for Pennie’s after this whole thing.
Let’s go! Keep Gradey!
people don't know how the cap works. you still gotta get rid of contracts cause Kahwi has shown that he likes money and won't take a discount.
Clippers give us our picks back, we take a few of their picks, suspend kawhi for a game to give us the tax credit
