the notion that the Lakers *wouldn't* bring in another max guy is laughable. They will have the resources and maneuverability to do so - it's just a matter of who will be the best fit.
I like that they didn't gamble the young, budding core on Kawhi -- as I don't think Kawhi is in the top 3 options of potential moves for the Lakers. I'd take AD, KD & even Klay over Kawhi until he proves otherwise that he can still be *that* transcendent guy that he was in S.A. -->
