Seems like a total steal

It's more or less a free look at a young player who flamed out at his first stop. Worst case scenario is he bombs this year and they decline the 2020-21 option and let him walk. Best case scenario is he straightens out, learns how to shoot, and becomes a building block for what's slowly turning into a nice foundation in Memphis.

Phoenix had to move on from Jackson. He had become an embarrassment to the franchise. It's kind of shocking how far he has fallen in just two years if this is the best offer they could get for him. A lot of league execs thought he might be the best player in the class prior to the 2017 draft.

I'm sure after this they probably were just done with him, seems like a terrible person (not just from this but other incidents too) but good buy-low candidate for Memphis, still has some potential.

Kawhi's decision should be made today. What's everyone's final guess?

Mine is back to Toronto on a one-plus-one player option and he'll hit free agency again next summer.

Starting to get the feeling he goes back to Toronto. Wonder what the lakers do if they don’t get him at this point

Staples Center gonna be cray cray.

PG could have signed with the Clips just a year ago too and they could have retained all those picks. I guess he wouldnt get the salary he has now though.
