Apparently wants to bring his own guys, so doesn't matter who Lakers medical staff are.
Nice spin(from Laker sources too lol). Laker sources have a bad reputation around the league since it's common knowledge that they're mouthpieces for Jenny Buss. Those that don't fall in line with her are blacklisted.
Kawhi demanded a trade to the Lakers LAST summer. He didn't have any convos with Lebron or Magic back then yet he still wanted to be traded to Lakers knowing full well their medical staff was garbage.

Yeah agreed, just when the league is looking exciting again. Right now there are several teams with a chance to win, if Kawhi goes to Lakers all that's over and we are in for another season where the winner is known before the season even starts. That sucks for the nba, but since it's Lakers and the ratings will be huge, Silver and co are probably loving it..
I'll get some respect back for Kawhi if he refuses to team up with Lakers, at least he'd be one star who wants to prove he's the best by competing against the rest. It's looking like he's as bitchmade as the others though..
I think people don't look at the larger picture of this era, and what is happening. It is not about being a Laker fan, or Spurs fan being mad at Leonard, or even just being a fan of large market teams. The competition the league was built on, and the great rivalries the league was built on are going down the drain. Hell in the 80's people often say that "Larry and Magic saved the NBA" with the massive interest in Lakers/Celts. The league was struggling back then financially before that rivalry. Well nobody would have been watching had in 1985 Magic signed a 4 year deal with the Celts. The great rivalries of the 90's. Bulls dominated, but they had great rivals in the Knicks, Pacers, finals with the Suns, Jazz etc. Malone did not leave Utah to play with Ewing and Reggie Miller. Rivalries that can take shape in todays game are NOT. Because players bolt in FA and buddy up.. This is not good long term for the game. The league needs rivals. Not players who are friends and just want to play together..

I just love how the Lakers are just airing all of Kawhi’s business. And he’s really considering signing there? Like what.
That same article said Kawhi ASKED Magic if he could bring his own trainer and med people. ASKED? Someone needs to tell that dumbfuck when you have as much leverage as he has now, you dont ASK, you TELL them what you want.
Also, the article said Magic said one of Lebron's guys got a job as a VP with the Lakers. Uncle Dennis you listening?
Last, I wonder if Uncle Dennis will ask for the back of the plane for the entourage, assuming Bron is willing to give it up?

Because there's no scenario where Danny Green and Kawhi can BOTH be on the Lakers. They don't have the money. Danny will want more than 12 mil per year. Danny isn't going to give the Lakers a discount or play for the minimum. He said he made a mistake when he signed his last Spur contract so quickly because he got caught up in the championship hoopla. He said he's talking it slowly this time and looking for the most money. Raptors are the only team he'll give a discount but that's only if Kawhi resigns.

The only ones that would make that an argument are the retards on Spurs reddit(or Laker fans on Spurstalk trying to troll). Kawhi in his sophomore year was already a much better player than Derozan at his peak.

You speack as if being injured isn't part of the normal nba athlete life...and you compare obvious different situations. Spurs have their doctors but have given to Leonard and his group full control of his medical situation. The fact is that also nba doctors could't find anything relevant...then Spurs decided not to go the hard way and have maximum confidence in his staff behavior...bad mistake? maybe...but the only sure thing is that nothing on the medical aspect can be put on Spurs shoulders...the simple fact that n° 2 played this season is evidence that his situation was manageable...but he decided, with his group, to fool the organization that was paying him...
Asshole... He played this year because clearly he had time off last year to heal more
dbreiden83080
07-01-2019, 06:02 PM

That is the problem. If Leonard comes in, and he instantly is the best player on that team, and it is obvious. Lebron won't be happy. He needs the credit. A chip without a finals MVP, he likely would not even want it..

What was he healing from again? Still not clear 2 years on basically what the medical issue was? KD, Klay, all these guys we have an actual diagnosis on them? Leonard not so much. "My Quad hurts" Is all I heard. Surgery required? No. Rehab? Yep like 6 months worth.. He faked the injury and you know it..

Discount would have been worth it if PATFO would have actually did something worthwhile after.

The salary thing starts day 1 and goes nuclear on day 366. How they plan on paying Kuzma next year exactly?? He makes $2M yet they are counting on him to be a major contributor from now on considering he's likely the only one that will play 75+ games for them.
They are absolutely fucked on salary cap issues without going heavily into the tax. And their starting 5 are going to be dominant but HEAVILY taxed because their bench will be full of rookies and vets making minimums. They simply will not have reliable depth. Unless they are planning on playing 40+ MPG.

I don't know what Uncle was doing before this, but I'm guessing he wasn't a hedge fund manager. If he's got a chance to be bought, of course he's going to take it. Hell, I could be bought if I had a nephew who had that kind of talent. Feeding like a tapeworm. :lol
Branch Manager was Uncle Fester's role in the banking business. Fester has learned how to be a mediocre liar. That's about it.
He used to be some kind of business etiquette trainer. Based on how he actually conducts his business, Unc is as tone deaf as the mute. I wish them lots of pain and suffering.

The salary thing starts day 1 and goes nuclear on day 366. How they plan on paying Kuzma next year exactly?? He makes $2M yet they are counting on him to be a major contributor from now on considering he's likely the only one that will play 75+ games for them.
They are absolutely fucked on salary cap issues without going heavily into the tax. And their starting 5 are going to be dominant but HEAVILY taxed because their bench will be full of rookies and vets making minimums. They simply will not have reliable depth. Unless they are planning on playing 40+ MPG.
FUCK THE LAKERS. FUCK neph.
Yeah all you can really say about them is "Top heavy as Fuck" something Lebron bitched about in Cleveland. No depth at all. But in terms of talent maybe only a healthy Sixers team can compete..

Kawhi going to Lakers was possible but I still heard that he does not want to play with Bron. I really wonder if getting AD, despite how incompetent that front office has been was enough to sway him?
Also have to think Uncle Dennis will be playing a prominent role if that is true.

Not sold on that. He needs to be the man on those teams.. Or it does nothing for his legacy.. Jordan always drove the Bus..
Kawhi going to LA will suck ass for the league but I'm gonna lol at all Rapfans salt on RealGm after he ditches them and pulls a Durbeta pt2
Exhibit A:
This pretty much confirms kawhi is mentally slow. Bron probably managed to convinced him hes gonna be the guy. :lol only to sign for 4 years and be hostage to lebron legacy. :lmao
Dennis really ruined Kawhi.
Feels like Dennis has managed to convince him to play for the lakers.
Have fun being a third wheel and playing for brons legacy kawhi. Im sure you're uncle is proud of you
Tried telling you he was a bitch, brah.
not to be a dick but if kawhi's uncle had croaked a couple years ago then kawhi could very well still be a spur... it's sad how much pull he has.

Maybe, but it’s still the circus that surrounds playing with Bron. You eat all the criticism when it doesn’t work along with all the social media/media attention. Pour that gasoline on the fire that is their fans/front office and the news they make, I cannot believe Kawhi would choose that situation when he could definitely beat AD/Bron and mid-tier players.

The sad thing is, I'm sure he gets a standard agent's cut. If he had just left things like they were, Kawhi would have had Super-Max money and the agent's cut of that extra $80M would probably be as much as he gets doing things this way.
That's why he needed to get a FO job and an ownership stake in the Spurs - so he could have a little sumpn extra for his nest egg.

But now everyone knows the truth; even a team like TOR that won a title, can pay him more than anyone and rolled out the red carpet was not enough to stop the Kawhi to LA train.
All the dragging of SA through the mud after all they did for kawhi just because they were COWARDS who couldn’t just say “I want LA” and looked for an excuse to paint SA as awful so he could plot a way out is all on the table now.
If he and his team were pros and not conniving colluding a-holes, SA could have gotten a better deal too.

Good question. I think teams are hesitant to commit more than the MLE or multiple years to him because of his injuries. I think this next season is his most important in his career. He has to prove he can last most of the season without a major injury and prove he can be effective. I know it's going to sound crazy, but I would not mind at all if the Spurs signed him up.

How do u know he could play on it? Because the team doctors said so? The same team doctors that had Danny playing with a bad groin and Gasol playing with a broken foot? Team doctors that told Durant he could play, when it was clear he shouldn't have been near a basketball court? U see how QUICK he left that team when he got the chance? Fuck around with the health of these athletes then expect then to respect u?
Yes. Team Doctors cleared KL to play. When he said he wasn't able to go they suggested he shut it down for the year. He refused - probably because he was due to renegotiate with MJ Brand shoes.
Same Team Doctors informed DG he had a strained groin but HE decided to play on it because KL was being a bitch.
Gasol: Couldn't play with a healthy foot much less a broken one. Not sure where you were going there. The team shut him down.
KD was cleared to play by his own doctor.
Warriors doctors insisted Klay Thompson get an MRI when he wanted to stay on the court and continue to play....because he's of the MALE species.
KL wanted to play in LA. His Uncle got him to use his chronic knee as an excuse to force a trade because the BIG, BAD TEAM wanted him to manage his playing time. It's all bullshit dude. You're being naive. The Spurs got fucked and they own some of it too for not treating Uncle Dennis like royalty. Dennis' ego cost KL MILLIONS of dollars.

If good old number 2 is officially done in Toronto, they might as well close the doors of the organization right now. Think about it. The only way they were able to get their hands on a top-flight superstar was benefiting from one of the shadiest most underhanded behind the scenes fiascos in league history. Things go better than anyone could have possibly imagined with that superstar. You win the championship, and you still couldn’t retain his services LOL. That’s it. Close the doors. Nobody wants to play there.

What a bullshit guy Kawhi and his team are man. Just completely sh*t people. Spurs fans tried telling TOR fans it was not about SA; Kawhi and his team wanted LA for two years even though I’m shocked Clippers lost out to Lakers.
But now everyone knows the truth; even a team like TOR that won a title, can pay him more than anyone and rolled out the red carpet was not enough to stop the Kawhi to LA train.
All the dragging of SA through the mud after all they did for kawhi just because they were COWARDS who couldn’t just say “I want LA” and looked for an excuse to paint SA as awful so he could plot a way out is all on the table now.
If he and his team were pros and not conniving colluding a-holes, SA could have gotten a better deal too.
Pretty much. His uncle is a shit human.

Well demanding a trade would have gotten him there a year earlier. I guess we can look at it as would we rather have 1 year of Kawhi or DD, Poeltl and Keldon
They didn't go about it the right way with the trade demand either. They made it personal by attacking Tony, Pop, the medical staff, and the organization as a whole. How many other stars have taken it that far with a team that they demanded a trade from?

Maybe, but it’s still the circus that surrounds playing with Bron. You eat all the criticism when it doesn’t work along with all the social media/media attention. Pour that gasoline on the fire that is their fans/front office and the news they make, I cannot believe Kawhi would choose that situation when he could definitely beat AD/Bron and mid-tier players.
That is all true..,but Kawhi knows he can’t or won’t win it all again by himself too. He knows he’s got that bad leg and can’t afford to miss 20 games in the West. In a way I feel Kawhi, AD and Bron all kinda need each to achieve their goals and that’s championships.
At the end of the day that’s the only Kawhi wants..and I think he’s willing to deal with what you mentioned if it pretty much guaranteed another ring or two.

If he would've played out his contract he would've accomplished the same goal in the same timeframe. The holdout and dragging the most conservative, revered organization in sports through the mud makes him and his group huge pieces of shit.

So you want to go play in the absolute circus atmosphere with LeBron James. Championship or bust. Most of the media blaming you and Anthony Davis if they lose. Interesting.

Come on Fabbs, quality of teammates had nothing to with it. He would've been perfectly happy if had been traded to LA and they had a mediocre season. Going to TOR and winning a title was never in the plans or a priority, they kind of just stumbled onto it.

Bron is a great teammate on the floor. Durbetta the uber pussy is the one who claimed all the media surrounding LeBron is too much.
It's not a terrible move by Kwa if he makes it Lakers. Im sure the marketing possibilities with Laker Cult will have his earning be great.
I'd like to see him sign a one year deal with Toronto and see if they can repeat. Nice team. Probably won't happen. But too many Kwa Haters thinking he if doesn't sign for 5 years in Toronto he is an ass. Not so.
Back to LeBron he is a pathetic GM. He needs to be stripped of all GM duties. Not that Pelinka is any better but FFS someone with some BBIQ needs to round out the roster if Kwa joins the Lakers.
Also why do dumbfuck franchises like the Wizards facilitate shit like this? All they got for their help was a few spares and a 2nd rounder. You'd think non-marquee franchises like them would fight to maintain parity instead of bending over for the big markets smh.

That trade stunk to high heaven. It's the first time like I felt the League was rigged. And as I recall, Pop has had some very negative comments about that whole ordeal and led to his dislike of the Lakers and how they get away with shenanigans. In fact, I would bet that trade has a lot to do with his refusal to deal with them. Cheap and easy is not the Spurs way. The Spurs and PATFO do it through high BBIQ and scouting their butts off and player development

Toronto provided absolutely EVERYTHING this creep could possibly want (Load Management/Team success) and it's looking like it won't be enough.
Windhorst states without a caveat that Leonard was offered the $220MM supermax and declined it. If he goes to the Lakers, he declines $190MM supermax from Toronto and takes $140MM for four years in guaranteed money. $80MM in guaranteed gross salary would be turned down. $35MM in real net cash after taxes.

He delayed his decision several days and when he made The Announcement, all the free agents were already signed by other teams leaving the Cavrones in a difficult position. In Kawhi's case, the Raps and Clips will be left with capspace and a dried up free agent market.

The bias towards the big media markets, and acting as if in anyway this would be a good thing that he goes to the Lakers is ridiculous. Eliminating rivals and competition is not a good thing for the league. I wish the media would knock the shit off.

He is doing what Bron did to Cleveland the first time he left them. He delayed his decision several days and when he made The Announcement, all the free agents were already signed by other teams leaving the Cavrones in a difficult position. In Kawhi's case, the Raps and Clips will be left with capspace and a dried up free agent market. But ironically, perhaps the Lakers will be the most challenged trying to fill out a roster due to his delay.
Raps have no cap space, so the only teams that can get screwed over are the ones in LA.

Not even if he leaves?

It’s what the media does man. They create narratives and agendas and drive the sheep to where they want them to go...they do it for not only politics but sports. Whatever drives ratings or $$$
The whole wanting to go home narrative is bullshit too. Just like the misdiagnosis/trust narrative. If his hometown was Detroit, Cleveland or some other shit city he wouldn't be going there.
It's a brand/legacy thing, imo. He wants the type of shoe deals and endorsements, that with his personality, he can't really get in San Antonio and Toronto. The Uncle has delusions of grandeur too, and thinks that because his Nephew is really good at basketball he's somehow qualified to create a bigtime sports agency. Pretty much they're greedy pieces of shit, tbh.

If the Sixers were smart they would get Allen Iverson to reach out to nephew with a recruiting pitch. He was one of the players whose game he liked.

We at least have an actual roster. If Kawhi doesn't choose the Lakers, they have four players and have to scramble to fill out their roster with the leftover scraps of the free agency market.

How are the Sixers going to get him? They don't have money, do they?

They would have to make a trade to free up the space. Not happening.

I for one hope this fucker signs with the Lakers even more than the clips tbh..
Kawiter with the Lakers and this will end the whole Spurs did him wrong.. this will also cement kawiter as a motherfucker quitting on teams.
Now yes fuck the Lakers but honestly... spurs won't win shit next year, yeah it would probably means another title for the Lakers but still better than a clips first. Also if there is one franchise that can fuck a AD, LBJ, KL roster up it's the Lakers, they are so dysfunctional and they will probably find a way to screw it.

No fucking way. A Clips 1st is way better than another Lakers title and another Lebron ring.

More on #Clippers meeting:
They had a Meat and Cheese platter, equipped with over 10 dipping sauces. It made a big impression on Dennis Robertson, Kawhi’s Uncle.
Team and Kawhi feel like they are a good match. Believe SG Danny Green will follow.
God if this is true...dipping sauces?? Are you telling me that if the Spurs had just decked out their offices like a McDonald's or Wingstop that would have been enough to keep Kawhi? And is Kawhi's group really so dumb that they couldn't just, you know, open up a Buffalo Wild Wings inside Kawhi's house and he'd be happy anywhere?
No wonder Kawhi felt so out of place here. Other players were having fine steaks, wines, and coffees, and he just wanted someone to take him through the drive through at Sonic.

Let’s remember that the Spurs ended the Kobe-Shaq era. If nephew signs with them. A playoff series against them would be the ultimate revenge for the Spurs.

Right, when you don't have anything nice to say, just make shit up. If the biggest takeaway from the Clippers meeting was the food they served, close the book on the Clips.

If you're going to believe every rando on Twitter, have fun with that.
As for Kawhi's camp, the attention whoring is real. At this rate, it'll probably be another week before they announce the decision.

In 2000, Tim ate almost nothing but junk/fast food. Orlando served a formal brunch when he visited, and apparently, that was one of the things that put him off.

The only way he waits that long is if he's literally a retarded person.
