Classic kawhi
Former Raptors teammates Kawhi Leonard and Serge Ibaka have been reunited in Los Angeles after Ibaka signed with the Clippers in free agency. The movement looked like a match made in heaven. The Clips filled a hole in their frontcourt left by the departures of JaMychal Green and Montrezl Harrell, and did so by bringing in a guy their star player already knows.
Ibaka probably didn’t need a lot of persuasion, but Leonard was still looking to recruit him – in the typical, low-key Kawhi fashion.
“On free agency day, he texted me, ‘Hey, what’s up? I said, “What’s up, brother?” Ibaka told reporters Thursday. “A moment later, ‘Bro, are you coming or not?’ Just imagine Kawhi and his voice. It was funny. I know him, so that’s always how we communicate.
Would you expect anything else from Kawhi?
And honestly, it’s a good pitch. “Are you coming or not?” gets right to the point, which makes it clear that Kawhi wants Ibaka in Los Angeles. He doesn’t waste time messing around. He wants this deal done.
The funniest part might be Ibaka saying that Kawhi waited until free agency opening day to reach out. He might be the only NBA guy to abide by the tampering rules.
