[RD2191]

Kahwi’s decision affects the balance of power in the NBA for the next few years and whether spurs have a chance to compete in the west...we all know he ain’t coming back .. how hard is it to see why we are invested ?

Exactly.

Even if the Spurs aren't a contender, I don't want to see the Lakers being gifted a superteam after being one of the most dysfunctional organizations in the NBA the last 5 years.

The NBA has been boring enough with the Warriors being de facto WC Finalists the past 4 years.

The league can handle a Lebron and AD duo....putting Kawhi in the mix pretty much makes the regular season a formality again.

[tonight...you]

https://mobile.twitter.com/criscarter80/status/1147231393111584768
So... if he doesn't sign with the Lakers today, they won't have the money to give the Max because of the AD trade going through?

Potentially, unless they can convince New Orleans to push the trade back further IIRC but I don't see why the would be obligated to do that.

Lakers want the deal to be done before 12 p.m. ET tomorrow.

Appreciated my friend.

[Hoops Czar]

Kawhi knows where he's signing. The city he's in on July 6th is the team he's signing with.

[K...]

It's it possible that the Lakers deal falls apart? Like all their shit players come back and kick lebrons ass for a whole season. I know it's not likely, but this is already pretty absurd, might as well take it to the max.

[UZER]

https://mobile.twitter.com/criscarter80/status/1147231393111584768

Of course not, he’s on a gimpy leg. He needs long term.

AD is pretty much a done deal. New Orleans wants all those assets.

Other than that, don't know who the hell else the Lakers are going to sign, even if they do get Kawhi.

[Harry Callahan]

Why does mute have to have all these spokespeople like Carter? Where is Mitch Frankel? Why can't he speak on behalf of the autist/mute/retard?

Uncle Dennis is a clown, but isn't Frankel at least a football agent?

These two fools have been controlling Nephew's dealings for over three years now, and the terms that come up a lot in the media are "difficult", "demanding", and "unprofessional". These traits are showing now.

[Harry Callahan]

Of course not, he’s on a gimpy leg. He needs long term.

The Chronic condition demands a four or five year deal where he will be just a shell of himself in just a few years. The group's acknowledging the limited shelf life he has left in his career. This is the boxcar contract he has to get now.

Neph was gimpy on a regular basis this year without an obvious injury - just a long term chronic condition.

[Russ]

I love watching Kawhi fuck over other teams (as long as it's not the Spurs).

His waiting game is literally jeopardizing three teams at once.

Question: Does this guy ever give even the slightest consideration to anyone other than himself?

Answer: No. His mental condition results in a lack of empathy with the SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder) or high functioning autism.

[Ron Swanson]

Fuck Cris Carter.

[TD 21]

I'd still be shocked if he doesn't re-sign, but I suspect he's grappling with this . . .

On the one hand, the Raptors clearly offer the best combination of winning (at least short term), credit and comfort, but I don't think he really wants to spend essentially the duration of his prime there.

On the other hand, I also don't think he wants to go to a "super team", hurt his pseudo brand, divvy up the credit and be around their tabloid like coverage.

That would seem to put the Clippers in pole position, but whether it's the lack of another star, them not being his childhood dream or a combination thereof, they seem to be third.

[SpursforSix]

Answer: No. His mental condition results in a lack of empathy with the SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder) or high functioning autism.

I think this is right.

[Harry Callahan]

I'll give the Spurs credit for sheltering this guy for the time he was in San Antonio (the 2017-18 season was a cluster due to the "Group").

What a weirdo neph is. This guy has issues. No wonder the Spurs FO just kind of threw up their hands with this guy. He is not normal between the ears - wonderful basketball player but the oddest of odd ducks.

Can you expand more on this?

Can you expand more on this?
Something about if Kawhi wants to join the Lakers and get the Max, he has to sign before the AD trade becomes official which is tomorrow.
Otherwise he loses out on more money, should he still choose to go there.

[SpursforSix]

That question never crossed his frontal lobe...

Part of why he’s so good imo. Not caring what other people think or worrying about how you look probably means he doesn’t feel the same pressure as someone worried about a bad game affecting his image.

Good summary:

https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/07/lakers-kawhi-leonard-decision-salary-cap


Kawhi Leonard has kept the NBA world waiting on his monumental free agency decision that will have massive implications on both conferences – but Lakers executives may be nervously looking at the clock as the hours count down to the end of the moratorium period on July 6th.

The Lakers currently have $32 salary cap space available to sign Leonard to a max deal, but as ESPN cap expert Bobby Marks explained this week, the Lakers have to complete their business with free agents before the massive Anthony Davis trade becomes official.

Whether the Lakers land Leonard, or are left to pursue the other big name free agents led on the board, they’ll be able to maximize their money prior to the Davis trade becoming official, which is expected to happen on Saturday. If the Lakers don’t sign anyone before the Davis trade goes through, they’ll lose around $5 million in cap space, and will only have ~$27 million left to work with. At that point, Leonard could still decide to play for the Lakers – but he’d have to take a significant pay cut.

“Looking at the timing of this, we’re [hours] from July 6th. At noon, you can start making trades. What happens if this Kawhi Leonard decision lingers into Sunday? You know, teams are not going to wait. You have New Orleans, you have Atlanta, you have all these other teams that are part of this trade, they’ve got rookies they want to play in Vegas.

You do the Davis trade before the free agency, then you lose that max cap slot there. I don’t think we’ve talked about it enough, but we’re really getting into this time crunch right now.”

Marks points out that the Lakers could try to convince the Pelicans and Hawks to delay the Davis trade – but both teams will be hoping to incorporate their new players as quickly as possible, especially with the Las Vegas Summer League getting underway on Friday.

[Brazil]

:lol dat July 6th deadline, Lakers FO must be nervous as fuck.. :lmao just for that it is worth the wait tbh

on a side note the fact that he still did not announce anything yet is a bad sign for Lakers imo.. I don't see him wait till the last minute of Lakers deadline to announce his arrival tbh... we hear nothing from clips which is probably a good sign.. it may be down to Clips or Raptors after all

I have the ability to work from home in a pinch, but my job typically requires me to be in office. I tend to work better that way anyways...too many distractions and other shit to take care of at home. I'd never get any actual work done :lol

That said...I'm apparently the only one who decided not to extend the 4th into a long weekend today. :lol

[ZeusWillJudge]

This is my own little personal LOB dream for the season. Keep it up Kawhi. Fuck up the Lakers, Clippers, AND the Raptors offseason. Then go join Durant on the Nets. Next year, I mean - when KD is back from surgery. This year you can prove that you can carry any team on your own.

I have just heard the Lakers could delay the trade for a few days to make room for him. So unfortunately this shit could drag on for a few more days.

[Dex]

Thanks. Chump change to these guys but uncle D’s ego would have to eat that Kawhi technically wouldn’t be a max player.

$7M is a pretty good chunk to give up just due to indecision.

It does put an interesting wrinkle in the situation...I really doubt he is going to give that up just because he can't make up his damn mind.

[Brazil]

pels could threaten Lakers to look for a new team to trade with.. again I don't see any good reason for Pels to accept a delay..

it's also maybe a way Kiwi is telling Lakers that he is the man not AD.. I'm sure he was not thrilled to learn that Lakers did not offer the same package than AD to the Spurs to get him

[ZeusWillJudge]

Still not donning the Silver and Black ever again. :)


As much as I appreciate his talent, and the chance he would give to add another LOB, if this kind of shit is going to be the norm now, I'm not sad about missing out on that part. If it turns out he's good enough to win a ship every season, then it's our loss.

If he live-streams his announcement while pissing on a Lebron Lakers jersey and some dwarf is running around and doing cartwheels in the background as the Raptors colors come down...

He might gain a grin and a strong nod from me.

And then he says Lakers.

WHAT?!

[dbreiden83080]

The problem is the Lakers are a joke organization tbh.

I think Load MGT is the problem combined with how thin that team is. He will obviously miss 20 plus games again. Lebron likely to miss time as well looking for Load MGT. AD has been injured before.. Raps showed they can win without him, so no pressure for him to come back and play more in Reg season. Lakers may lose a lot games with him sitting out, not exactly hurt. He does not want to be pressured by anyone. Raps let him do whatever the hell he pleases.. He is worried about that in LA.

He should just go to the Mexico City Barbacoa's and force the NBA to do what they've always wanted to do:
Give Mexico City a team. And he'll proceed to win them 37 games and be heralded as their Great Aztec Warrior and they'll build a pyramid for him.

So sweet...

[cool cat]

I wonder if Kawhi is checking Twitter to see where Uncle Dennis will allow him to play next year...

[Chillen]

If he is going to sign with one of the LA teams if it's Lakers he will sign tomorrow before noon due to the cap space issue with the AD trade so he can get the max. He's likely just making this go on and on to look good to Raptor fans as a tough decision he's making leaving Toronto if he intends to sign with Lakers. If it's Raptors or Clippers he's just waiting to screw with the the Lakers.

So if he's going to sign with Lakers and wants the max it's got to be before noon tomorrow.

[GreekSpursfan]

If he wants to sign a long term contract he has to think about Lowry getting old, Siakam wanting the max, Gasol doesn't have much either. Of course teams change but Toronto doesn't have a big window(next year is all they have) for load management bs imo and uncle knows this. I'm going back and forth with this but i think Clippers will get him eventually.

[tonight...you]

I wonder if Kawhi is checking Twitter to see where Uncle Dennis will allow him to play next year...

It was the Clippers. Then the Lakers. Then Toronto. Then the Clippers again. Now, who knows . . .

Kawhi is like one of those high school football players at signing day reaching for a cap then smiling and putting it aside and reaching for another cap just to fuck with the process and entertain himself . . .

[Chillen]

Well if he is going to be a Laker we should know before noon tomorrow or he isn't getting the supermax with them if he signs there unless they delay it by a day (AD trade). If he isn't a Laker by noon tomorrow than he is likely to sign with another team.

[cool cat]

Then Kawhi will say, "I told you, I'm a fun guy."

Going to the Lakers would be stupid on his part, tbh..

He has the perfect image right now, nobody cares that he blatantly quit on a team or is treated like a small child by the media:lol white people love him because he'll never speak on social issues or empower Black people, just like Jordan, he's the perfect superstar to market now, never have to worry about alienating a segment of the population..

Joining LeBron and forming a superteam would remove some of that shine IMO..he wouldn't be hated or anything, but he'd lose some of the appeal of being the quiet hero who does it on his own..

Best way this could have happened for us, Lakers doesn't get their superteam, the annoying canadians will be crying and there is competitive balance in NBA again..

Have to respect Kawhi wanting to compete, if he wins a ring with Clippers his legacy will be something else.

[SPURt]

This is the best case scenario after the trade. Not even winning a title would’ve kept him from LA. None of the assets the Spurs traded to Toronto will be there next year while the Spurs ended up with pieces that will remain. On top of that the Clips gave up 5 freaking first rounders for Paul George. Yikes. Good luck with that Kawhi.

[gambit1990]

things worked so well for the raps that i didn’t think they would repeat. my predictions are money too.

this is great tbh. vindicates the Spurs, proves he was leaving for LA no matter what happened so we can stop with the bullsht about how spurs didnt do this or put whatver players around him. and Raps fans are losing their shit :lmao after gargling his balls all year this is pretty amusing. plus Lakers get cucked. this is the best case scenario for Spurs fans :lol

Well, it's not like we're not going to play him 4 times a year now with two games at San Antonio. He will continue to get booed the fuck out of the building in those games. This hatred isn't over.

[RD2191]

Although I've always said I saw Kawhi in LA I don't believe it was something inevitable. I think he'd of been a Spurs lifer had PATFO been more aggressive in building a solid team around Kawhi and had they handled his injury situation better. Maybe it was bullshit but Jalen Rose's original story was Kawhi wanting out because Kawhi believed PATFO wasn't doing enough to surround him with competitive talent. It is what it is I guess, just my opinion.

[Trainwreck2100]

As I thought he was planning this shit with West from the start, I think the Davis ordeal may them stall out their decision to screw over the lakers. Also the city of LA doesn't have a decent first round draft scenario for the next decade

Now I feel for the most part these #2 fanboys can't say the Spurs had any chance of keeping this guy. Had he stayed in Toronto they would have been able to make there case.

I pretty much agree with this almost 100%.

I too, (while being incensed with anger) said that after the Spurs re-signed Patty Mills and Pau Gasol, that if I was Kawhi, I'd ask for a trade to the Lakers as that is nowhere near good enough talent to waste that money on. Looking back at it, I still think that the Spurs pissing away that money on scrub players and not trying to retain Dedmon and Simmons (who Kawhi apparently liked), plus the injury thing, I think the combination of that put Kawhi off the Spurs. If they had not signed those two guys to that amount of money, and gotten him whatever players he wanted and whatever he perceived as a more competitive team (even if he thought that was Dedmon and Simmons over Patty and Pau, and even if the Spurs disagreed, they still should have done it to appease him), I think he may not have started to consider leaving. I could be wrong, but I do agree with your stance as it's pretty similar to mine.

I still remember the tweet of that guy (was it Tim Bontemps?) back when Leonard was going through rehab during the early parts that Kawhi wasn’t happy with the way the roster was shaped and that guy was wrung out. That seemed like the beginning of the end.

[Chillen]

Well Raptors won a championship out of the Kawhi deal and the deal was worth it for them but the Spurs still have the players they traded for. He did wind up going to an LA team, it was Clippers not Lakers. Spurs should feel some ease on the deal now despite looking like idiots because he led them to a title. Short lived, Raps were a one and done NBA title team but Spurs still have DeMar and Jakob. Him going to Clippers eases the sting for Spurs.

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.


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

Called the players tbh...a little off on the picks. Interesting enough Woj reported they did go after Beal first

Unless you all have lived under rocks and haven't paid any attention the last 35 years, you do know Kawhi went to "THE CLIPPERS" right? The curse is alive and well within the confines of that franchise even with the logo running the back office. Good move for Kawhi through a financial standpoint but the bad mojo flora stinks up that team. My boy kawhi is what 28 years old? Possibly injury prone? His actual window of competing at a very high level is maybe, maaybee 4 years. We shall see. Proceed KL...lets see what fate has in store for ya....

I think there is a racial component to the way Doc will be able to coach #2. Doc being black will give him a pass to openly criticize #2 and his camp if they ever pull shady shit with him without having to deal with the fear of being branded a racist. It will also allow him to coach him hard without being portrayed as some overbearing white guy.

In some cases, they were asking for things that Ujiri – one of the most well-compensated executives in the league – wouldn’t have even had at his disposal. Their requests were “unreasonable”, a source said, which made the Raptors wonder whether Leonard was seriously considering them at all.

Kawhi won a title and still left that fucking shit hole :lmao

[Mugen]

When Dennis thought Kawhi might actually want to stay in Toronto, he probably just started making crazy demands that he knew wouldn't be met.

That's probably what happened tbh :lol

Go post that on the Raptors' board, and then copy some of the responses here.

You have to admire Dennis..a street nigga who translated his game into the business world and quickly became one of the most powerful men in the NBA..

He took a mute with no charisma or appeal and turned him into the most discussed player in the NBA:lol not to mention this path to superstardom included beating LeBron at his own game and destroying the most successful franchise in recent NBA history..

Looking back, a man who came up like Dennis did battling against a sheltered, classy franchise like the current Spurs was such an unfair fight..

Still, ignoring the emotion of being a Spurs fan, how can you not respect a man like Dennis making something of himself? Same with Rich Paul, these are now 2 of the most powerful men in the sport and they did it out of nothing..

[RC_Drunkford]

You don't say ... :lol



One rumor is that Uncle Dennis asked for unfettered use of MLSE's private jet if Neph re-signed. That's one hell of a demand, tbh.

Dennis makes LaVar Ball look like a saint tbh

yeah he really made something out of himself taking a 10 million dollar loan to start a player management agency that now nobody wants to sign for cause nephew lost 80 million and a Jordan deal besides also not playing in a season where he could've won MVP. Great moves.

He put his nephew in a position where he's now recognized as the best player in the NBA after winning a championship, created a title favorite that should win for at least the next 2 years and did it in LA, where Kawhi's brand will continue to blow up.. he's in a comfortable position to be the best player in the NBA and take over the league for the foreseeable as LeBron ages..

They got Paul George to immediately demand a trade after Kawhi called him:lol the same man who just signed a long-term deal with OKC rather than joining the Lakers last Summer..

Uncle Dennis is way smarter than Rich Paul, tbh. Paul derailed Nerlens Noel's career with his shortsighted, greedy advice.

Unless one of Big Pharma comes up with some sort of autism meds, his endorsement oppos look bleak. New Balance? Are you fucking kidding me? What's next? An endorsement deal with Daewoo?

:lmao Kawhi would’ve beaten the injured Dubs with Spurs and won the championship, and saved 104mil, and still get NB (old people) brand, had he stayed with Spurs. Now that would’ve been genius :lol:lol

Damn. That new balance contract made his chick a little too carried away in the kitchen. Great girl, but surprised some players put up with stuff like this. Ie ayesha curry etc.

:lol @ he could have been happy in San Antonio or Toronto

Guy wanted to be in LA. On some levels, you can understand. Unfortunately, he went about it terribly and screwed over the Spurs in the process.

Both are just riding coattails. Uncle would still be a bank teller without his Nephew. Rich Paul would be just another black man living in Cleveland without LeBron.

Spurs thought they made mistakes in retrospect but the Raptors did everything the Spurs wished they had done and he still left for Los Angeles.
