    If he has a great year, SA will soon have a dynasty, and I will become an SA fan.

    smart move by the clippers, I don't think Kandi worth 80 Million 7 years contract he asking for. if he can prove he can put the stats he did at end of last season in regular basis, then he worth the signing, but I think after he got that deal, he will back to the old lazy kandi we know before

    I don't know how a guy who scores 11 ppg and shoots about 43% from the field can turn anybody into a dynasty.

    Miami and San Antonio will both have cap room and I hope the latter doesn't get him but that's where I think he'll end up.

    He also had lunch with DEN mgmt. A very good year(like MAR 17/11) with promise of more to come and Kandi should get several max offers. SA for a bunch of titles; DEN to be runited with friends and a great young front court; MIA for sun and beach, which he loves. But, not the LAC, Kandi has said as much. The LAC's only shot was to take the gamble on Kandi, failing in that they cannot keep him if he has a great season. If he does great he is a Spur(Heat, etc.). If he reverts to 8/8 then the LAC might be able to keep him, but for more money than anyone else, and who cares. Sounds like DTS and the LAC. Very appropo.
