Not so fast skippy as it all depends on how he does this season. Better get YOUR head wrapped around THAT now.
And the Spurs do not have to be the team that pays him that Max deal. Five years from now we may be sitting here saying thank God we didn't give it to him.

Absolutely true, and there's no bigger Leonard fan than me.
Maybe, maybe not. Comparing him to Duncan, Robinson, Pippen or Jordan mean nothing. The market is set for him, the Spurs will either pay or someone else win.
Whatever makes you feel better, the yahoo article has cited several GMs saying he's worth the max already and he's a better player than Klay Thompson who just signed for a 4 year max deal. The market is set you can ignore it if you want. Only way he doesn't get max is if he suffers an awful injury or plays poorly this season. You may not think he's worth it but your opinion doesn't matter to other GMs and team owners.
Pop conservative minutes management might save the Spurs $$$
he had one Max worthy series.
Every other time he has been a roleplayer at best.
Worst time to negotiate contracts.
Pop might lower his minutes to try to lower his price next year. I guess We will see.
No one knows the details surrounding the Kawhi negotiations. It's all just generic internet rumors. I wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs asked him to wait so that they could maximize flexibility to surround him with other free agents next summer after Duncan and Manu possibly retire.
If some team offer him the max, let him go. Nigs Always think they are better than really are. Let the er struggle in a ISO team. He will be back with the SJax speech.
Yea because he called himself the future face of the franchise.
It is all talk until the check gets signed.
Gamesmanship plays a role here.
If Leonard flops this season he can forget a max contract from anyone.
Good point.
This.
Show us the consistency.
Exactly. He can go elsewhere and be a nobody, always wishing he had stayed.
Who is the hottie Russian officer in your sig?
One max worthy series?
He had an outstanding series against Portland...
He defended Durant and Westbrook so well, he carried the team for three quarters in game 6 WCF, sure he missed a lot of bunnies in the fourth quarter but his strip/steal on Russ closed the series...
A 22 years old guy who played great on both ends in two consecutive NBA finals...
