    Every fanbase is hoping he stiffs Lebron and the Lakers and returns to Toronto.

    This pleases me.

    I feel like he made up his mind about a month ago, he’s just enjoying being Kawhi Leonard right now, and its annoying but hey being Kawhi probably feels pretty good right now. Hope he goes to the Blazers on a vet min.

    Sometimes fella's, it just come down to where you want to live.

    Like many professions where people have had the opportunity for advancement but required moving, many don't do it because they prefer to live where they have fam & friends and a neighborhood they are comfortable with.

    I had an opportunity to run a US Company branch in Toronto for all of Canada and turned them down, for that very reason. Money isn't everything...

    Sucks, but true. I’ve seen more than one colleague commit career suicide just to keep his wife happy. In one case the wife then monkey-branched to a new guy who made more money.

    That certainly can be the case, but they may also be the one that gets the promotion back east and wants to pick up and go.

    It says if your wife is unhappy where you are, then moving to a different location and taking a pay and benefits cut likely won't solve that problem.

    Free agency gives players the choice to sign and play for certain teams. That is up to them. Good luck is all I can say. I will still hate the Lakers no matter what. :biglaugh:

    I really hope we fill a couple spots with some vets, Joakim Noah and Jeremy Lin would be outstanding additions.

    I've worked a lot; I have some hobbies; and I've 'found' some women. 2 out of 3 ain't bad

    way back in my younger days I spent time working in Alaska. A lot of guys were up there working while their wives and girlfriends were back in the lower 48. It was really the horny north back then. We had a saying: "women...you can't live with them and you can't live without them". One good thing about getting older is realizing that only the first part of that saying is true

    You do realize basketball, and following the NBA, is a hobby right, for many of us. Finding the KL stuff annoying doesn't prohibit one from having a career, or a having other hobbies, or finding women.
