I don't recall anyone ever disputing that the LA Lakers were, are, or haven't always been a destination locale.

You expressed surprise that players don't view the Clippers the same way they used to when Donald Sterling owned the team.  I'm just pointing out that they've become a viable free agency destination, mostly due to also being in LA, but also because they've been winning, Doc is universally regarded as a player's coach, etc.  But I certainly do not contest that the Lakers have a far richer history.

99.9% convinced that Kawhi isn't going to the Lakers.  He's an alpha, he probably doesn't want to be in LeBron's shadow -- he's a multi-time / multi-team champion who has shown that he can carry a team.  He's far more likely to go to a good team and take them to the next level than he is trying to shackle his wagon to a super team.  It makes a lot more sense for a player like AD [who's never won one] to make that step.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
