Young: sources tell @ExpressNews that Kawhi Leonard wants to be traded from Spurs

[baseline bum]

Why should anyone trust Gambling Podcast though? If this was actually happening Woj or Shams would likely be the ones reporting it.

Agreed.

if true, awesome trade.

Meh if true it's like getting the rapist to wear a condom.

[TD 21]

They can get a better offer from Philly and stick it to Ainge at the same time for not offering Tatum. I don't know why you're in such a rush to take pennies on the dollar. At least try to get 45 cents.

Only if Doncic is available at 3 and they can reroute Fultz to the Hawks. I'd be surprised if this gets wrapped up on draft night though. Even then, Doncic is an unknown quan y in the NBA. Fultz would be a massive risk.

I'm not in a rush to take anything. I've repeatedly said I'd slow play this (maybe even taking it up to the trade deadline) and would actually still try to reconcile first. I'm just saying, if it eventually has to come to a trade, this is probably the best they can do. If fits the typical superstar or star trade criteria of relatively high reward/low risk.

[Spurs da champs]

Phoenix still run by the same guy who was signing and trading all these PGs? If so, definitely not improbable.

Jeff McDonald on Dan Patrick show...

Maybe Phoenix is trying to get into the lebron game as someone mentioned. But the Suns are young, they should take gasol as a mentor

[RD2191]

if kawhi has to play a season in Phoenix. Uncle Dennis really ed him on this one

[tholdren]

And saying thank you because its better than sending to philly or la for their garbage pgs. Best scenario other than lebron, or thompson bell from gs

[Gino20]

Watch it be a ploy by PATFO to get Uncle Dennis to sweat and reconsider

[HarlemHeat37]

There's no way Phoenix is giving up the 1, 16 AND Jackson I can't even envision a scenario where they would think about that..

I guess maybe Sarver and their fans hate the Spurs enough that they desperately want the guy who took a on the Spurs' franchise

[Chillen]

If this trade is true Suns will probably trade Leonard to Lakers for Ball, Ingram and one of Randle or Kuzma. I doubt he stays there.

Since the link is https://twitter.com/GamblingPodcast/...36958414503937 you would embed the tweet as

Here's the tweet

Why would the Suns do that without commitment from Kawhi?

So much more information than that jabari .

Beats the out of me. I can't imagine they would.

Why? If Kawhi will play there and you keep Booker it’s a no brainer.

Why would he? That's the point..it would be pretty ing strange if Kawhi wants out of SA, yet wants to stay in Phoenix long term

he does not trust spurs medicial team

[Ron Swanson]

I know when I need some breaking NBA news, I think of Gambling Podcast.

Woj bomb? Nah
Shams with the goods? Nope

Gambling. ing. Podcast.

Phoenix is not that far from LA and media would be less frantic. Who knows, maybe he is his own man and would like to play for the other reputable medical team.

[ducks]

with the suns he would be the man and if he got them a le unlike Charles and nash

[TD 21]

#1 isn't realistic. Jackson, Bender, 16 for Leonard and Gasol could be, at least in principle. Couldn't happen officially until July 1st, when the Suns can absorb the salary differential into their cap space.

Obviously, the Suns would be hoping to sell Leonard on a future big 3 with Booker and Ayton. I can't imagine he'd re-sign, but it's possible they'd delude themselves into thinking (hoping, really) otherwise.

I like the Celtics option better than that though. The Suns one is too high risk/minimal reward.

[HarlemHeat37]

It would be strange IMO..other than Sacramento, Phoenix is easily the most dysfunctional franchise in the West, they aren't exactly a FA destination anymore..maybe if they sold him on Booker and the #1 pick, but the rumored deal would include the pick, so I don't think Booker-Kawhi alone is appealing enough to trust the direction of the Suns..

I hope he does want to go there, though, since it would be a nice haul for the Spurs.. franchise-changing..who knows what Kawhi actually wants

[DPG21920]

PHX is a bigger market, maybe he loves Booker or maybe he’s just tired of SA and PHX is closer to home while having a medical team he trusts? I don’t know.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Does Phoenix still have that world renowned medical staff? Lol maybe they're hoping they can sell Kawhi on that
