So the maximum allowable contract (under CBA rules) the clippers could offer Kawhi + the number aspiration paid Kawhi = the number of the max extension Kawhi was eligible for but ONLY if he stayed in Toronto.

If bored….stop and think about the luxury tax would have been over those years if Kawhi’s Aspiration money was added to the Clippers team salary…..it’s over a hundred million…….
Vanderbilt needs to be out of consideration…..however perhaps play him to increase his trade value, which is about negative now….I think start Rui over Smart…and let Smart get up to speed with the team chemistry and evaluate his health and durability….
