***OFFICIAL KAWHI RELATED NEWS Thread***

[Chillen]

The longer this goes on it's either good for Raptors or Lakers. My gut tells me it favors Toronto. Tough decision for Kawhi to leave a team in the dust without defending an NBA title. Probably the hardest decision he's ever had to make his whole career.

He should sign with Lakers though, it's a perfect fit for him with his injury problems to play alongside two superstars.

Of course I wouldn't be surprised if he signs with Clippers when the dust settles.

[GreekSpursfan]

After what Windhorst said, I kind of think Kawhi might be stalling to give the Clippers' front office time to make a big trade.

That was a given, he can't go on with his load management bs without someone else to carry the load in his absence, no surprise there.

[offset formation]

laker about to get cucked tbh. they had it and lost it.

spurms very likely to meet Lebron in the playoffs for a 3rd time next year..

4th you mean?

[slick'81]

He doesnt need to rush as a perfect situation in either lakers or raptors await.Favorite to win it all regardless

Must have missed it...what'd Windy say?

Edit: nevermind, I hadn't gotten to this page yet.

Thanks-

[spurraider21]

He basically said that Kawhi is still interested in the Clippers but needs a second star. At this point, we'd definitely have to trade for one - maybe Beal?

He also said Kawhi called KD about teaming up on the Clippers, but clearly that was too little, too late on his part.
hope you guys land him, tbh

[Mugen]

hope you guys land him, tbh

This. Clippers would be by far my preferred landing spot for the Retard.

[DC23]

If it’s a done deal like Jalen Rose believes then the Lakers are surely clued in too. Why are they not after the remaining free agents?
I think the Lakers have made commitments to Kelly Oubre Jr (who will be matched by the Suns), Rondo, McGee, Jr Smith, Korver, Shumpert, and Iggy.

[Genovaswitness]

fuck the clippers I hope kawhi stays in toronto. I could never cheer for a doc rivers coached team

[Dex]

So the Cavs with AD instead of Love?

[DC23]

Marcus Morris is out there too. I could seee Goran Dragic somehow ending up in LA.

Jalen Rose on SC just said 99%

2 years with the Raptors.. We will see..

Same.

[Kawhitstorm]

I think Gasol requested a buyout. The Spurs granted that request and he went to the Bucks. Apples and oranges. I don't think bridges were burned there.

I guess Kawhi should also have requested a buyout :lol

[Dennis the Menace]

https://twitter.com/tomhaberstroh/status/1146432387758415872

Sooo barring his leg holding up, Uncle Dennis would be an idiot to leave the Raptors?

You are so logical. I'm impressed .

[Kawhitstorm]

I've lived in LA my whole life and plan on moving out soon...can't stand the traffic, congestion and detachment of people in general anymore. The homeless problem is worsening all over and it's especially bad in Santa Monica and the K-Town/DTLA area. But the weather, culture, diversity, no wombats, etc...are all positives so I can see why people still want to move here. To each their own.

Culver City: no homeless issues, no crime or dirty streets. Right next to the metro rail line aka can avoid the traffic jam. But you're too broke to afford it.:pctoss

[acoelho1]

:lmao Oh, you're one of those fans . . .


Yes, one of those that can actually assess the talent on this team. I'm sure you were saying the same things prior to us winning our last championship.

[DPG21920]

Man, I hope Kawhi stays in TOR. Not only does TOR deserve it for being bold but it would make the league the most exciting it has been in a long, long time.

I don’t care if it changes whatever narrative; just don’t go to the damn Lakers man

[Extra Stout]

Though Kawhi Leonard has been gone for a year, the Spurs have a lot at stake with where he signs.
If he signs with an LA team, especially the Lakers, they’re vindicated. He would have walked away from not one, but two championship franchises and crapped all over them in the process. The Spurs can say that there was nothing they could have done and everything that happened was on Kawhi.
But if he stays in Toronto... NBA players don’t exactly flock there. Kawhi goes back to looking like the guy who just plays basketball and cares about little else, the guy Spurs fans knew him to be before the fall of 2017. Instead of being bound and determined to bolt to LA, really he just wanted to get away from the Spurs franchise.
Which means that somebody fucked up really, really bad. Unless that person was Julianna Hawn Holt, Gregg Popovich is accountable for failing to fire whoever needed to be fired to assuage a home-grown top-3 NBA talent.
And the Spurs start to look like a franchise that was flailing until Tim Duncan showed up, and started flailing again just one year after he retired.

What is the real case?

[Twisted_Dawg]

There is an 800+ page thread on Kawhi on Lakers Ground that is absolutely pure gold to read right now. A lot of anger and frustration building amongst their fans because of Kawhi's delay and allowing the FA market to dry up. If he signs with Toronto that place will implode. Just go to the last 3-4 pages to catch up.

[tonight...you]

What is the real case?
The case that contains the virus that will end the world and Tom Cruise is only yards away from reaching it!

Nobody really cares at this point about accountability. It’s much worse if he goes to LA because it would mean it’s harder to contend for the future of our Spurs.

[FkLA]

What is the real case?

Well to start he himself requested LA. If he just wanted out of SA he wouldn't have specified that it needed to be LA and only LA.

Then Toronto bent the knee for him. He and Uncle Dennis run that organization. I'm sure whatever concession both of them want Ujiri will make. It makes sense for them to do that, since they were shit before him and will be shit after him, but that doesn't really make sense here with the established culture. And before some idiot says "fuck the culture, he's a top 3 player" ...IMO 5 years of Nephew's prime isn't worth giving the culture up. It's the only thing keeping us from going into small-market obscurity like SAC or ORL. The Spurs not willing to give Neph and Uncle that type of power doesn't mean they fucked up.

[FkLA]

Then there's also this:

If he's willing to wait several more days to make his decision, then yeah - he's almost certainly buying time for the Clippers to make a trade at this point. What else could it be?

[bklynspursfan]

POS uncle wants to feel important for a few more days.

It almost feels like he's also building up his mouth pieces. Letting Cris Carter make his big 'announcement' , Jabari's latest development, (both dismissing what Woj reported) and even Jalen Rose with his 99% comment.

Wouldn't surprise me if they already know, but they're just using this time to get attention and let their mouth pieces give 'exclusive' updates.

I heard some Laker fans say on LG that #2 has to decided before July 6th if he wants to be a Laker because that's when the Davis trade becomes official. Once the trade goes down the Lakers will not be able to offer #2 the full max.

Speak for yourself. He and uncle royally fucked the team and his representatives really took some unforgivable shots at the team, including players and PATFO, as well as against the city itself.

My gut tells me that PATFO wouldn't even pursue him at this point.

[ironman2886]

If I was a Raps fan 6 hours ago, I would have been excited that Kawhi was gonna sign with Toronto. Now, I think he’s signing with the Lakers. He should have given an indication to the Raptors’ organization by now. He’s mulling his decision.

I prefer him to sign with the clips. I hate the Lakers more than any organization. I hate the Raps fans for rubbing our noses in Kawhi’s success with Toronto. ���� Praying for the Clippers.

https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/254730/Lakers-Could-Target-Danny-Green-Marcus-Morris-DeMarcus-Cousins-If-They-Dont-Sign-Kawhi-Leonard


The Los Angeles Lakers can break up their cap space into several players if they don't sign Kawhi Leonard.

Danny Green, Marcus Morris and DeMarcus Cousins are three candidates for the Lakers if they don't sign Leonard.

Adrian Wojnarowski also believes the Lakers will do well with veteran's minimum players who want to get back onto the market next offseason.

ADRIAN WOJNAROWSKI/ESPN

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Caron Butler is an idiot. I’m watching NBA TV now. Caron must be the biggest Laker slurper on TV. He just said that if Kawhi goes back to Toronto, the Raps won’t be a top 5 team in the NBA. He might be the worst analyst in all of basketball.

Honestly, I wouldn't want him back...under any circumstances...this crop of young guys PATFO has put together has a chance to do something..in my humble opinion of course

[duncan2k5]

Really? Everyone else have decided and only he drags it on. He's luck will run out eventually, he spend most of it last season.

Bro it isn't even July fourth yet... Lebron KD, AND LMA all have taken this long before and yall weren't outraged... Yall didn't even care

[Chomag]

4th of Kawhi

What a dirt bag , This also has Uncle written all over it.

[duncan2k5]

If he signs a two year deal with Toronto as Rose is reporting - he was not seriously injured in my opinion after getting over the sprained ankle. He shut it down and forced a trade by being so toxic in SA.

This makes no sense... Plus Kawhi can't win in any scenario... If he goes to LA, he always wanted to go there and forced his way out... If he stays in Toronto, he wasn't really injured and forced his way out... Looks to me like u already have ur mind made up and will shape ur story to whatever happens

[MoSpur02]

There is no mending what this idiot did, and he has proven that he is not trustworthy. Look at how this process is playing out now. The guy is a complete diva. Everything Has to be exactly the way he needs it. I mean at least LeBron James you could always count on him suiting up and playing. He is a diva, but he also has been a Iron Man in his career. You can’t even count on that with number 2. He plays basically when he fucking feels like it. And if anyone on the team attempts to tell him that is not cool. He runs away like a little kid, and finds a place to hide.

[MoSpur02]

Wow the ultimate Stockholm syndrome. Some spur fans can never get over this guy being gone. Never thought you would stump to that level.

any way you slice it, he forced his way out. If he goes to LA Then that was what he wanted regardless, if he stays in Toronto, then maybe it’s a sign he just wanted out of SA

[dbreiden83080]

I think more than anything it was because Pop is a very no nonsense, no bullshit head coach. Number 2 had absorbed all of the knowledge that he needed from him when he was a young player. And he wanted out from under Pop’s thumb. He wanted to go play for head coach that shuts the fuck up, and allows him to do whatever the hell he wants. That’s my opinion. Nick Nurse I promise you didn’t tell him jack shit one time all year long. He just kissed that ass.

[DPG21920]

What trade? And why

If Kawhi wants Clippers but wants a second star Clippers have to broker that trade. Say Bradley Beal for SGA/Gallo/2 1sts or something like that.

[dbreiden83080]

It’s far too late for that. This thing will be over by Friday at the latest. And as an organization you are not going to make a major trade based on a free agent that is giving you a maybe at best in terms of joining you. That just doesn’t make sense. If there was a move the organization liked Leonard or not they would’ve made it.

Maybe he said yes if you get x player by x day. If not no.

[dbreiden83080]

Maybe he said yes if you get x player by x day. If not no.

I think it comes down to this. If California is a priority for him, and also playing with a lot of talent, obviously he’s going to be with the Lakers. I think what’s going on is, he is extremely torn about Toronto. Mostly because they kissed his ass all season long, and let him do whatever the hell he wanted. I think mostly that’s what he wants in terms of the coach and management. Kiss my ass and let me do whatever the hell I want. Basically he wants about 25 things to sign a contract.

If you had reached an agreement on a trade, could they just call up Kawhi and say we're about to do a trade, are you in? If he says "no", then you could not pull the trigger on the trade if you didn't want to. Couldn't they do something like that?

Sure but who are they going to get exactly at this stage of the game? All of the major free agents have signed. If we are talking about another legitimate superstar they can’t make that happen right now. Nobody’s giving up a superstar anyway. At least not quickly. The Lakers have two mega superstars in waiting for him. If that’s a major priority, and he thinks the organization will let him do whatever the hell he wants. He’s going there.

Definitely possible - also it’s about how competitive is Kawhi and does he want to be someone that rides coattails? Also does he want to be controlled by Bron? Bron runs things and Klutch. Kawhi distant third there.

[gambit1990]

i don’t blame kawhi for taking his time. the longer he waits the sweeter offers would get. just smart business tbh.

[gambit1990]

if kawhi was an attention whore then he’d have social media and be using it during all this.

[dbreiden83080]

Honestly if I was Leonard I would sign a one-year contract with Toronto. Try to defend the championship. And that gives the Clippers one more year to get their act together, and you guys can revisit a contract next off-season. Seriously if he wanted to be a Laker so badly he would’ve signed the contract by now. The media was acting like it was a done deal. He may still go there but he is obviously very conflicted.

[apalisoc_9]

Crazy. I think Gallo/SGA is more valuable than Beal. Dont @me.

Lots of talks online point to

1. Kawhi wants Clipps or Raps for basketball reasons

2. Uncle Dennis and his management team trying to convince him Lakers.

I don’t think the Lakers is a good choice for him in anyway just because of the drama with the team. And LeBron James you don’t need to be playing with that guy. Honestly at this stage of your career you are better than he is. He’s not going anywhere for at least three more seasons. It’s not like he’s retiring at the end of next year.

We just have to hope Leonard is smart enough to realize his uncle is wrong otherwise hell be in a laker uniform

Los Angeles is Los Angeles. If Uncle Dennis is so in love with Los Angeles, the clippers should do him just fine. If he can’t get his nephew the kind of endorsements or whatever playing for the clippers as opposed to the Lakers, he really sucks at being his agent. If he goes to the Lakers I would argue he would have less opportunities off the court. The shadow of one LeBron James looms large

not going anywhere. He will be in that shadow.

[LCM]

Like was said in the viedo, he signs a two year, with the cap going up, he will be in super max range of $250,000,000 with the 10 year service contract. Toronto GM can tweek the roster later in the year. All of the players signing contracts this off season will be tradeable in Dec. The main core for them is Siakam, Ananouby, VanVleet, with Lowrey and Ibaka possibly signing short 1+1 next year to marry themselves with KL contract and have free agency flexibility in 2021. Gasol will be the trade chip with his 25 million expiring contract that could potentially help the Raptors get better in the short term.

Long term, KL gets the super max for 10 years of service, and Toronto uses that contract in a sign and trade to get assets from the team that Kawhi will go to next. Just like GS did in the Durant signing. Someone correct me, but I don't think he can get that $250,000,000 contract from anyone but Toronto. Durant didn't sign for $190 million with BRKLYN, he could only have gotten that from GS. If KL goes to Lakers or Clippers, he's potentially leaving a minimum of $110 million + on the table.

Also something that has been bugging me, his son was born in Canada. I don't think it is a major problem, but I think he is going to have to go through some hoops to ensure his son has all his potential dual citizenship paperwork in order.

I think he positions himself to maximize his money in the short and long term and that means working with the Raptors. Because he isn't going to sell enough NB in LA or get any major endorsements to make up for the short fall of potential earnings he would be walking away from.

I haven't heard anything from the same Lakers people who were planning the 2020 NBA championship parade 48 hours ago.

I don't even know what to think, tbh. Uncle Dennis didn't allow Pop to have a final meeting with Neph because Unc was scared that Pop would change Neph's mind. But now Toronto got a final meeting with Neph ... so were Uncle Dennis' fears realized and Neph has changed his mind from signing with the Lakers?

It'll be interesting.

not nervous one bit family. All year it’s been clippers and only them. Lakers are just mentioned for clicks and views and when he stays or chooses the clippers niggas like you can laugh and say how he didn’t want us lol. If anything kawahi staying or with the clippers will make the league easily the most open in a long time. As a basketball fan I’m happy.

Lakers have pinned all their hopes and dreams to this dream scenario. The team you have was basically completely gutted to land two huge superstars. If he doesn’t come, you guys do not have enough to win a championship. Not with a 35-year-old LeBron James, and Anthony Davis who last I checked in New Orleans never came close to winning jack shit. He’s overrated as fuck.

[rasuo214]

Los Angeles is Los Angeles. If Uncle Dennis is so in love with Los Angeles, the clippers should do him just fine. If he can’t get his nephew the kind of endorsements or whatever playing for the clippers as opposed to the Lakers, he really sucks at being his agent. If he goes to the Lakers I would argue he would have less opportunities off the court. The shadow of one LeBron James looms large

not going anywhere. He will be in that shadow.

There is a huge difference between the Lakers and Clippers, no one gives a fuck about the Clippers. Even when they had Blake and CP3 the Lakers were still by far the more popular team.

They never had a player of this caliber. They never even came close to having a player of this caliber. He’s being regarded by most as the best player in the league right now. Coming off a championship. You go to the Lakers and you are in the shadow of LeBron. That’s not changing. And you can develop marketing opportunities anywhere. The Orlando Magic back in the day were a red hot marketing opportunity for two young players named Shaq and Penny Hardaway. It doesn’t have to be Los Angeles. Leonard doesn’t have any personality. That’s the bigger issue.

[Brazil]

Though Kawhi Leonard has been gone for a year, the Spurs have a lot at stake with where he signs.
If he signs with an LA team, especially the Lakers, they’re vindicated. He would have walked away from not one, but two championship franchises and crapped all over them in the process. The Spurs can say that there was nothing they could have done and everything that happened was on Kawhi.
But if he stays in Toronto... NBA players don’t exactly flock there. Kawhi goes back to looking like the guy who just plays basketball and cares about little else, the guy Spurs fans knew him to be before the fall of 2017. Instead of being bound and determined to bolt to LA, really he just wanted to get away from the Spurs franchise.
Which means that somebody fucked up really, really bad. Unless that person was Julianna Hawn Holt, Gregg Popovich is accountable for failing to fire whoever needed to be fired to assuage a home-grown top-3 NBA talent.
And the Spurs start to look like a franchise that was flailing until Tim Duncan showed up, and started flailing again just one year after he retired.

Sure, but when Blake and CP0 were here, they also still had commercials all over TV on every ad break. Choosing the Clippers doesn't mean losing out on endorsement opportunities.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Like was said in the viedo, he signs a two year, with the cap going up, he will be in super max range of $250,000,000 with the 10 year service contract. Toronto GM can tweek the roster later in the year. All of the players signing contracts this off season will be tradeable in Dec. The main core for them is Siakam, Ananouby, VanVleet, with Lowrey and Ibaka possibly signing short 1+1 next year to marry themselves with KL contract and have free agency flexibility in 2021. Gasol will be the trade chip with his 25 million expiring contract that could potentially help the Raptors get better in the short term.

Long term, KL gets the super max for 10 years of service, and Toronto uses that contract in a sign and trade to get assets from the team that Kawhi will go to next.

I'm happy as long as he keeps delaying.

My new dream scenario: Kawhi strings this along, and the teams eventually decide that they have to cut it off and go sign another FA or two. Kawhi whines like a jilted Taylor Swift that they didn't want him enough to wait for him to decide, and Neph runs off to join Durant in Brooklyn.

Why would he care about a 2-year deal to get the Supermax salary? I thought his star power was so great that he was going to be his own brand. The kids will all come a'runnin to get the latest Mute Cancer kicks. "I wanna be like 'Whi."

Maybe the government will hire him for a campaign about getting all kids vaccinated. Since the wackos say that vaccinations cause autism, all the parents will make sure to get their kids shots, so they can be autistic like Kawhi.

The possibilities are endless. He doesn't have to worry about the salary. :lol

[Harry Callahan]

i don’t blame kawhi for taking his time. the longer he waits the sweeter offers would get. just smart business tbh.

What offers would get sweeter? Each of the three teams have a number that is already known. Under the table stuff maybe would be in play (promised jobs for family members).

[loveforthegame]

We can make fun of Cris Carter all we want but he was right and the first to call that Leonard would meet with the Lakers and Clippers on Monday and Tuesday before going to Toronto. At the time we thought he misspoke about Leonard going to Toronto but sure enough he did go there. Today he revealed that they also had meetings set up with the Nets and Knicks. Nets meeting never happened because KD/Irving and Knicks backed out when their meeting wouldn’t be until Wednesday and didn’t want to wait or like their chances of signing him.

Continues to say no decision has been made. His guess is Friday. Trust is the big thing and that Toronto has the edge there. Lakers/Clippers will have to take that to get him to leave.

...

IMO, he’s never going to LA then. No way Lakers or Clippers gain the kind of trust in a matter of days that the Raptors gained an entire year.

[Harry Callahan]

If #2 stays in Canada I would love to see what Mush mouth Shannon Sharpe would say. His whole act of slamming SA and laughing at them is very annoying. He and Bayless ought to come out of the closet on their show so they can be celebrated by the Sports Media Machine.

[pad300]

With regards to Uncle Dennis playing GM, isn't that one of the things that the FO wouldn't let him do here? (J. Simmons, Dedmon)

With regards to the supermax after signing a 1+1, I don't think Kwitter will ever be eligible for it, 10 years or no: " with same team continuously (unless traded during first four years in the league)" , http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q24
The Spurs traded him (after year 7).

Zeus, your dreams aren't big enough. The dream scenario is: Kwitter signs with the Lakers for 4yrs/150 or whatever the max. Takes 25 games off for Load Management in season 1, but still tears his quad in game 73 or so. He spends the next 4 years attempting comebacks, but never plays a playoff game for them (because between Lebron, Unibrow and Kwitter they have no depth around them). Then he retires. Kwitter is appropriately rewarded for quitting, being hated by every fan-base in the nba (SAS & TOR for quitting on them, LAL for being the rock that holed the boat during their Lebron years). LAL is ironically rewarded for their tampering by acquiring a salary cap anchor that sinks their ambitions; after another 4 years of failure, LAC becomes the dominant franchise in LA...

Supposedly #2 had a very strong meeting with the Raptors yesterday, which Drake was heavily involved. Drake talked about Kawhi being involved with his OVO label. He's down to Raptors and Lakers. Clippers supposedly out. Wants to make sure if he signs with the Lakers that the all three superstars will fit.

If he goes to the Lakers what exactly is he? He’s just another Laker. Yeah he’s a great player but he will never be Magic or Kobe in the eyes of those fans. He plays there for four or five years and that’s it. Honestly he should stay put. He is already a God in Canada. Just continue that legacy.

Best scenario, stays with Toronto, loses ecf, kathi then trade demands again, justifying his label as a quitter. You say "do a 1+1" but why not do 5 and pick your teams as you see fit? It worked the first time. Contacts don't mean shit to Dennis

[Keepin' it real]

I have been thinking he would stay and do a 1&1 deal with TO, but I wonder if a short deal might be a big chance if his injury progresses.

What injury?

[Larry O]

Hmmm... he, and along with Uncle Dennis, just may decide to stay in Toronto, but are trying to decide for how long. One more year or two years, with an eye on LAL, their ultimate destination. But right now, the LAL player situation just may not be right, especially with #2's need for load management, and LBJ's need for load management, and AD's injury prone issues. With this team's current construction, it could cause an issue with trying to play catch up in the Western Conference's playoff seedings, if these situations do occur, which would make for a big hill to climb. If he signs a 2 year contract to opt out in the 2nd year, he can check back with the LAL's to see if they have made any adjustments or improvements, in theory... And I thought #2 didn't want to be 2nd banana to LBJ. And the only players that are coming to the LAL to play with LBJ are old washed up NBA scraps or a player who is signed with LBJ's agent.

What does being with a sub-label of a record company have to do with a Basketball Player? Is he going to get checks from people on the label? the Music industry is almost dead, and the artist doesn't make money when I check Drake only has a handful of "acts" and puts on some shows and some shit white label brand shit. I suppose he is going to cut Kawhi in?

I'm pretty sure this "report" is bullshit.

I'm going with what Jalen said not some alleged chatter on some shit intranets site or social media.

If Drake is leaking wouldn't it be funny he is the MJ of the Raptors Organization....

Drake? Did the Turbin guy get to "sit down" with "team kawhi" too?

In 2003 Tim was basically the only all star we had. The Admiral was on his way out, Tony and Manu were rookies.

This Lakers team is old and their coaching staff isn’t good. LeBum will turn 35 soon, AD is injury prone and nephew’s quad won’t last even if they do ‘Load Management’

How you can compare any Spurs team with Tim Duncan on it to this current Spurs team is beyond my understanding. If this team had prime Duncan AD and LeGM would be food. But we don't have any player that's even close to that level

All along my prediction was the Clippers because of Jerry West but then i fell for the Lakers crap(he probably wont go there) but the real answer to where he's going is whoever is gonna give him more load management time. He knows Toronto will, can the Clippers promise him the same, i don't think so. Jerry West and Doc R.are old school and the can't put up with shit like this. Toronto it is then.

[Harry Callahan]

The LA media would push on KY and his group. Toronto already has given him everything to where he and his group run the team. But its still Toronto in the end with two key, high dollar players on the downhill side of their careers with Lowry and Gasol. They could fall off a cliff in the near future. Honestly, LBJ could fall off a cliff too after all the HGH he used in his long career. Plus the anxiety issues probably make decisions hard for Neph. Uncle D will probably have to step in.

Cris Carter is such an insufferable whore.

So where is the narrative that the Spurs were right. The injury is degenerative and not the bullshit doctor 8 said it was. He only played 60 games for the Raptors after he sat out an entire year. There's a good chance with continued degradation that this is his last contract and his effectiveness is on a declining trajectory.

Duncan looks like the black version of Spock in that pic.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

The only reason why is because he's given signals to the media for the last 2 years that he wanted to be in LA. If he didn't do that then he wouldn't be getting all this attention right now. I just hope this retard doesn't do a 1+1 or 2 year deal with the Raptors because then we will be subjugated to this bs again in a year or two.

I would bet money that's what we'll see happen.

Hopefully it will be a two year deal so the Spurs can grab a top free agent that summer early in the signing season since they won't have to be one of the 4 or so teams sitting around waiting on #2s decision. It would be a nice favor to the Spurs actually.

[99 Problems]

Chris has actually broken some big news just there... Since when has Kawhi had anything to do with this decision.

I would've taken a Spur too, but that's up to timvp.

I just want my OG Spur back.

[spurs10]

Right:lmao Seriously. That guy's drama was the worst. It was a complete drag and I'm glad he's gone. Are we a contender now? No, but it's fun going to games again and building a team.

I say that kindly because if you like "Tonight's The Night" you can't be all bad. :clap I saw the show where I think that cover picture was taken in England. Now I'm gonna have "Mellow My Mind" on the brain all night....which ain't so bad...one of my faves.

[dbreiden83080]

Right:lmao

From a character standpoint it actually matters to me who is on this team. Especially when you’re talking about the franchise player. I don’t give a damn how good he is. I don’t want him around. You guys get him and if he sticks around for a few years, you’ll get a taste of what he did in San Antonio with his diva bullshit. Inevitable. Load mgt. get used to it..

The Spurs won five championships with my favorite basketball player of all time Tim Duncan as the leader. So I can handle not winning championships for quite a long period of time with this guy off the team. I can’t stand what he did.

[spurs10]

Some of those late 1970 albums weren't widely available until streaming recently Go to Neal Young Archives and everything he's ever done is there including a lot of previously unreleased stuff. It's a newspaper, music, films.....you name it, it's there. Also the quality of the music is much better than any mp3 streaming service...many times over really. He and his crew are pretty fanatical about it....which is great.

Pretty much this. I grew up during the 90's and remember as a kid being in tears when the Rockets took out the Spurs in '95. I never thought the Spurs would even win 1 title back then. They have exceeded my expectations by huge margin. I feel right now I'm just playing with house money and if they never win a title again I will be fine granted I hope they do. Like you said just glad not to have to deal with this retards drama anymore.

For 20 years we were the most winning team in all sports. That's quite a run...thanks Tim Duncan. I'm perfectly cool with watching the team grow without the drama bullshit.

It's also a lot of money I'm saving in the playoffs- haha. I went to France this year...next year Spain! :hat

Well if he and Uncle Fester are finally done with all of the goddamn bullshit. I would imagine by nine or 10 o’clock in the morning we will finally know. What a fucking fiasco this has been..

[spurs10]

Al these " we dont want kawhi" mental gymnastics.

Its embarrasing :lol Okay, I'll bite. I've got some disturbing news for you. Kawhi is gone. He forced a trade and he is not coming back...ever. He took a fortune of $20 million from the Spurs to rehab for a year and then said 'I don't want to play out my last contractual season.' The Spurs let him go, to the best team in the East no less. They had to move on. Do you really think there are Spurs fans or members of the organization that are sitting around thinking about him coming back? I can't stand him or his uncle and don't want, or think about, him coming back.

Now I do find the whole subject interesting, especially when there is nothing else going on. Hating on Kawhi is an easy enough, but there is nothing to it really. I'm not even sure who is my favorite team for him to go to. Whoever it is it would be in relation to how it will affect the Spurs I guess. I don't really have any thoughts on that except the Lakers would be pretty stacked and the team to hate. He's staying in TO I'm thinking.

[apalisoc_9]

Its very obvious Dennis and his camp care so little about kawhis legacy. They're pushing hard to get him to LA lakers.

Cris carter was practiclly begging him to go to la lakers this morning.

And my issue with all of that crap remains other players constantly following suit with this superteam bullshit. It’s terrible for the NBA. This lack of competition will destroy the league. LeBron and Durant Really set something awful in motion.

[Realdeal1]

Chris carter is so full of shit

[MoSpur02]

Cris Carter is a joke. Hate hearing him talk. That other dude that hosts the show with him too.

[apalisoc_9]

Some no life loser found kawhis plane. Travelling to san diego right now. Same guys who got hold of kawhis plan to toronto.

Doesnt look good for toronto if hes travelling to San Diego before announcing anything and before july 6th. Lakers signing is the only possible explanation

Such a shame that Kawhi allowed Dennis to dictate his career. Seems like hes lakers bound now. Maybe slight chance the clippers.

[Harry Callahan]

You'd think BSPN would be upset about the carbon footprint #2 and Uncle Fester are creating with all these cross country flights on the private jets.

[apalisoc_9]

Just crazy though. Kawhi is a 28 years old grown man. But he lets uncle play around with him

[RC_Drunkford]

Not saying he’s going back to Toronto but he lives in California. It’s the off-season. He can announce he’s returning to the Raptors without staying in Toronto. He doesn’t live in Toronto.

[Realdeal1]

Lmao Danny green sounding so frustrated on espn phone call talking about his waiting for kahwi ‘s decision .. sounds desperate almost like begging for a decision from kawhi soon ... pathetic

[Ice009]

Not saying he’s going back to Toronto but he lives in California. It’s the off-season. He can announce he’s returning to the Raptors without staying in Toronto. He doesn’t live in Toronto.

If you were planning to announce you're re-signing with the Raptors, I would think you'd do it in Toronto and then fly back home for the rest of your off-season. It doesn't look good at all. This bullshit if he signs with the Lakers. I actually preferred the Spurs would have gotten young players from the Lakers and some draft picks (didn't need as many as New Orleans got) rather than trading for Derozen. It's really fucked up if Kawhi signs with them because then it would have all worked out perfectly for him. 1. He wins the Championship in Toronto 2. The Lakers get Davis which they wouldn't have been able to had the Spurs traded Kawhi there and 3. He get to go there anyway with an extra superstar added to the team - Pop didn't prevent him from going there at all.

I also thought he had more pride than this teaming up shit, but if so, then I guess the injury management is real big issue for him going forward. I would have had no problem had he have been sent to the Lakers before Lebron and AD got there. I also wouldn't have any any issue with it if he signs with the Clippers. I would really respect him competitive nature if he were to sign with the Clippers or even back with the Raptors.

He could just be flying back to tell his family the decision first, regardless of what his decision is.

[John B]

I hope he does 1+1 in TO and further messes with Fakers. I don’t know if he’d ever sign with Fakers later on for messin LeBron's 2nd year with all the waiting

They are not going to hold a press conference. All you do is tell the media. There is no major media event or press conference being held. They can tweet their response from Paris if they feel like.

[Realdeal1]

Cris Carter is a joke. Hate hearing him talk. That other dude that hosts the show with him too.

The other guy is a joke too .. Tom green looking mother fker lol you can tell when he speaks of kawhi he’s always looking at carter looking for Carter’s approval of whatever comment he’s making .. almost like he’s tip toeing around not wanting to fuk with uncle Dennis/ kawhi’s narrative so that carter doesn’t get pissed at him

[loveforthegame]

Not sure what all the panic is for. It would be just like Leonard to fly home for a nap and let someone else announce it.

[Clipper Nation]

Now there's rumors that Kawhi isn't actually on the plane and MLSE sent it down to San Diego to pick up his family.

[Gino20]

It’s possible that he has informed Toronto he is staying is now coming home. Maybe his decision hasn’t been leaked yet to avoid chaos. Plus, is it Toronto’s jet?

[Clipper Nation]

1147153984295247872

[loveforthegame]

It’s the MLSE private jet. Doubt they’d fly him home if he’s informed them he’s not staying. Undecided still? Maybe.

Like this whole free agency process too many conflicting reports about whether he’s on the plane or not even. He’ll, it’s probably another loyalty and trust test by Leonard for all we know.

^There saying the times don’t match up with these recordings or something. The plane is over Arizona right now. That guy says the on,y way it’s making that kind of time is if it’s empty. Who the f knows.

F Kawhi for having me reduced to following this stuff. Someone on real gm posted this.


Just looking at the plane's past flight history, it takes about 4:20 to 4:30 to go from CYYZ to West Coast, and less time (~4:10) to come back to CYYZ. We can assume those flights had people.

He may be going to the Lakers, but Raptors obviously were still very much in play because he went there personally to have that meeting. All he had to do was say everybody comes to me in San Diego to make their pitch. He doesn’t have to go anywhere.

[MultiTroll]

Is Drake on the plane?

[Harry Callahan]

Would we miss Drake, Neph, and Uncle Fester if the plane accidently kept flying past LA, over the Pacific Ocean and ran out of fuel?

[emanueldavidginobili]

It’s Uncle Dennis birthday today hahahahaha. Can’t make this stuff up he’s about to announce he’s going to the Lakers on his bday:spin

[Dverde]

I think Drake would toss his salad at this point. I admire the passion, but quit acting like the Team Governor:lol

I don’t think Toronto will win another championship in my lifetime with or without Nephew.

[Genovaswitness]

thanks. Apparently press conferences aren’t allowed until the 6...

[apalisoc_9]

thanks. Apparently press conferences aren’t allowed until the 6...

Yes but they can say goodbye to kawhi. Announce that he is not coming back and thank him for his services.

[Dverde]

They could be announcing signing Danny Green for 1 year max deal:lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Press conference is for new WNBA team in Toronto according to WNBA twitter

[loveforthegame]

The media meltdown when Leonard stays with Toronto is going to be hilarious.

Laker fans booed PG his first game in LA after staying with OKC. He made his decision fast. Can you imagine the reception Leonard gets after torpedoing the Lakers off season? That SA welcome will be looking warm. :lol

It would be truly glorious to see the media and Laker fans dreams crushed... Ever notice how the media almost never speculates that the great players are gonna stay with their small market teams? And ever notice that the teams they always speculate they will go to are the Lakers and knicks? Yet every year the Lakers and Knicks are trash and no great player ever goes there... Only lebron after he got old and washed (by his standards) to retire... But when he took his career seriously, lebron never even took LA into consideration... The media attempts are pathetic at this point

[Realdeal1]

I can see kawhi signing a 2 year deal with the raptors and then joining the lakers once Lebron retires

[acoelho1]

It wouldn't surprise me if this charade is to give the appearance that he's really considering going back to the Raptors. I think they have already made it up their minds that he's L.A. bound. If winning a championship, having solid teammates and a front office that has bent over backwards to please you and you still can't decide, I think this decision has already been made. I thought yesterday him flying to Toronto was a sign of him staying but now, I think it maybe his team trying to provide some cover. It was a really tough to leave Toronto..blah blah.

Clippers tbh

[gambit1990]

as much as i wanna see lebron + kawhi, i hope he doesn't go to the lakers so there'll be more parity. also so everyone on here won't act like they have a rock up their ass after every laker game.
