    Some league executives believe the Spurs will receive plenty of phone calls about Leonard's status this off season, with the feeling the team will not offer a five-year, $219 million extension, but yet part ways with Leonard.

    I suspect they are right. How can you offer the supermax to a player who hasn't been healthy for a year, has no clear diagnosis, and no expected return date?

    Free Kawhi from this hole please

    He'll make the money up in sponsorships when he becomes the face of the Lakers. Smart move by his uncle to turn down that $20M from Jordan

    Imagine is Leonard's group/uncle actually loses him more money due to the way they have handled this? There must been a better word than irony for greedy puppet masters.

    Local media scrubs openly pushing the narrative that Kawhi won't be back is like papal smoke at the Vatican.

    The decision has been made.

    It is actually become a no-brainer if you add the baggage that has come out in the last few weeks.

    He has had 9 plus months to take to the court and yet he sill couldn't. What are they supposed to do? Double-up those 19 millions with zero guarantees he wouldn't sit again in the future..

    I would not be suprised. I don't think you can offer him the supermax... first of all, assume it's true he has this chronic degenerative condition. He has managed it separately from the medical staff and Pop is really tired of it. It definitely shows. It will continue to be an issue going forward, because the condition will recur ( he has had it in the past). It's something that will need to be managed from now on. And that is assuming it's not a career ending situation (which is the worst possible scenario for obvious reasons).

    At least one WC executive (from GSW?, it doesn't say) thinks it would be a mistake to let him go so we will just have to see. It's obvious they won't get enough value for him (if he's not healthy).
    "It would be a mistake," one Western Conference league executive told the Express-News when asked about the possibility of the Spurs trading Leonard.

    I would say that the Spurs could use that 20 million on a players(s) that better serve our needs but right now I think they might extend Anderson and Forbes. Now that is a scary thought.

    It really isn't, the market only matters when you're like everyone else. Kawhi isn't.

    Question: assume kawhi has been playing fine this year (same as last). Who believes the spurs offer the Supermax?


    I would not be surprised if Pop asks KL to take less and that a supermax would be crippling.... and that would be ironic considering recent contracts to Mills and Gasol. If that were the case, it would easily explain all of this. I just have a hard time believing spurs offer that size of a contract, but I certainly could be wrong
