You made headlines after saying Kawhi Leonard told you he wanted to be back with the Spurs. Can you elaborate?
I just put out what I know, and that’s not much. I talk to (Leonard) as much as I can, but I don’t talk to him that much as a whole. He stresses the same thing to me as he stresses to (the media). There is no news. He says he wants to be a Spur and retire there. He said that to you. He’s expressed that. When I talked to him, he says he’s been with us, he’s always on board with us and (wanted) to be a part of what we did, and he’s trying to get right. But things may change.

Wow. That's from a friend of his of many seasons and someone who actively makes an effort to talk to him.

I appreciate your rose-colored glasses. And hopefully Kawhi is 100% healthy and he wants to re-sign. But you posters jumped all over Danny's comments. What's clear is that he thinks Kawhi may want to return, but he knows there is conditions on both sides and it's just as likely that Kawhi leaves as he stays come the deadline. No one here or in the organization outside of the top people and Kawhi and his people know what is going on and we won't have any idea until the draft and July. Then we'll know. Maybe the front office screwed up or maybe Kawhi is still injured or his people are so unreliable that the Spurs can't risk giving up 35% of their salary cap space to a question mark. It maybe that the front office would screw up by super maxing him.

This kind of confirms my suspicions that most of this drama is being purposefully generated by the Spurs.
The Spurs don't want to give him a super max because of injury concerns, so they're making it seem like Kawhi wants out of SA to encourage other teams to trade for Kawhi.
It all makes sense now. Why else would they tell Kawhi to stay away from the team?

That people who claimed Kawhi kept certain teammates in the loop where not correct. That casts some more light onto the Kawhi situation since many people assumed it was just TP/Manu that Kawhi didn’t really communicate with hence the player only meeting.
It was not just TP/Manu though - it was the entire team in the dark.

Because him being around was more of a distraction. They called a meeting to see if and when Kawhi would be back and they wanted to hear it from his mouth...
He couldn’t give them an answer or why so instead of just being around and having the media cloud it was best for him to leave..The Spurs then put it on Kawhi and his group to answer the questions..in which we heard crickets

75% of all media talking heads said the Spurs were his best “winning” option before they decided to run with controversy story with Kawhi/ Spurs
Broussard, Cris Carter, Skip, Jackson, Kellerman, Smith all at one point said Spurs would be his best shot at beating GSW. And it’s alllll because of Kawhi.

My guess Pop will have a talk with Kawhi and his camp about a week before the draft. Pop not going to sugar coat anything in the end I think they agree to part ways and he gets traded.

I don’t know man, starting to think the best thing for both sides is for Leonard to stick it out next year, and figure out the future later. Because Leonard has a lot of power on where he will extend, there aren’t many trade packages that seem appealing heading into the draft.
We’re really talking about Cs, Sixers, and Clippers heading into the draft. Cavs are hamstrung until they know about James’s postion which will be after the drafts. The Cs and Sixers will lowball the Spurs, and the Clips have an underwhelming best offer of Harris and their two late firsts.
"I talk to (Leonard) as much as I can, but I don’t talk to him that much as a whole. "

Not really. I don't get why anyone would think he and LDN are BFFs. Kawhi is a known recluse.
I think the people he is "closer" to are the more outgoing players on the team (Green and Paddy) since they are more likely to initiate conversations with him. Players like LMA, who is pretty laid back himself, probably hardly speak to him outside of practice/games.

Neither the Cs or Sixers will want to see the other get him. They would have to collaborate to keep the price down, and they won’t. The Clippers picks aren’t late first rounders. They’re both in the lottery, and higher picks than the one used to select Kawhi. You get nothing if he plays here next year. He’ll walk for sure. There is no longer an advantage for the player to do a sign and trade. Bird rights are no longer even conveyed on such a trade.

Boston makes the most sense if he wants to keep that NBA Finals streak going. If hes on the 76ers or stays with Cavs Boston still has enough to beat them in a 7 game series if they are healthy. If he can call Kyrie and they can work it out it's his best chance to knock off the Warriors next season. He would have to take less to keep the roster deep though and their main players together (Horford, Irving, Tatum, Hayward, etc). I don't see it happening because Irving is there but I would not put it past Danny Ainge to trade Irving back to Cavs in a sign and trade for James and sign Cousins or Paul George. I kind of like that it makes the East deeper, Toronto, Boston, Cavs, 76ers. I don't see it though even if it makes the most sense because LeBron seems to have a beef with anything Boston (one of the reasons he went to Miami Heat).
I'd say you are correct, Spurs, Rockets or 76ers.

You guys are fully delusional. What can we offer? Our so-called FP played like 6 games last year, and is away from the team since then. Or coach is old, stubborn and can't adjust to the modern NBA anymore. Our starting center is 37 years old and can't play in the modern age NBA. The rest of the roster is either too young to compete or old as dust, can't shoot or too short. Other than LMA, what can we offer? Be honest guys, would you choose SA over Philly? Over Houston or even the Cavs? This team would be pretty good in the late 90's, eary 00's but not anymore.

It was not just TP/Manu though - it was the entire team in the dark.
I didn't hear a single guy saying that Kawhi was talking about his injury, rehab, future...about everthing with his teammates.
But it's stupid to ignore that he was in touch with some of them like Danny, DJ, Rudy, Brandon.
Danny talked about Kawhi's setbacks and when his injury got worse, he also said that Kawhi told him he wanted to stay in SA... Rudy talked with him about the time of rehab, send him photos, etc...
Unlike those guys, TP/Manu never said a word about staying in contact with him, calling Kawhi or vice versa.
Like it or not, it's pretty obvious that there is a reason why Kawhi talked with teammates during all regular season but TP/Manu.
Also, why would we deny that Kawhi called teammates when Danny and Rudy say they already talked with him?
Neither the Cs or Sixers will want to see the other get him. They would have to collaborate to keep the price down, and they won’t. The Clippers picks aren’t late first rounders. They’re both in the lottery, and higher picks than the one used to select Kawhi. You get nothing if he plays here next year. He’ll walk for sure. There is no longer an advantage for the player to do a sign and trade. Bird rights are no longer even conveyed on such a trade.
Youre right about Clips- I meant to say late lotto. That and a non-cost controlled Harris is not a good return.
I really think Cs will way overvalue Tatum and Brown (not completey unreasonably) and feel they dont really need Leonard if it means giving up one of those.
That only leaves the Sixers. They have the assets THIS year (looking at their assets beyond this year they don’t have anything) which could be interesting. It will a package around Fultz and 10 be good enough? What if they can get George instead?
Point being, I think as spurs fans we overstate our leverage here. Had Cs lost to Philly or had a shitty showing against the Cavs, we’d be in a different place.

It's sad that this time Pop doesn't want to make things work like he did with Tim before FA or with LMA last offseason. Sure, the situation is different but nothing that Pop couldn't fix...
I guess his lost accelerate the process, he isn't getting younger and he seemed very tired during the season. Who knows but I'm under the impression that five years ago he could have dealt with this.

Obviously, things can change, if he doesn't get a supermax contract, the Spurs will trade him. But Danny can't know how things would end, he just talked about what Kawhi told him.

Everything is speculation. But I’m just referring to one of LeBrons closest sources...and I don’t see how Kawhi/LeBron are not tied to each other in a way. Where one goes could easily influence the other.

This go around you have to believe that the Cleveland fans will be much more appreciative of James effort with the team, and will always see him as a hometown hero. This too makes it easier for him to move onto a team that could be more competitive. If James believes Leonard is back, and in full force then the Spurs become a primary option.

Most interesting part of the Q and A . . .
Is a long-term deal something you're hoping to seek with the Spurs?
That's always an option.

Most interesting part of the Q and A . . .
Is a long-term deal something you're hoping to seek with the Spurs?
That's always an option.

Or it could just mean he’s opting out....

We were almost a 50+ team without Kawhi and playing with scrubs like Forbes and Anderson. To me I do not want to tank even if we loose Kawhi I think we can easily get a 50+ team by getting rid of dead weight like, Joffrey, Paul, Forbes.

Spurs where fighting for their playoff lives the last two weeks of the season, dipping as far low as 10th iirc. I’m not sure any of us here are eagar to be the 2006-2016 Utah Jazz.
Best bet is to stick with Leonard, or if that fails start slowly moving peices for assets and trust the front office to rebuild over the next 5 seasons.

Even without Kawhi if LMA stays healthy and we bring in Nikola and Hanga I guarantee a 50+ season. Add to that if the front office can make the hard decision to let Parker, Forbes, Green, Paul, walk we can do even better. Add Kawhi trade and bringing in probably two good players and a top ten draft pick who knows what could happen

The one thing I'd say that's changed in the last month is the leaking from Kawhi's camp has stopped. And his sister went radio silent. And no news since from Jabari Leonard. So I think it's safe to say that's where the overwhelming majority of the drips and drabs were coming from during the season.
And I'm also not sure how to read that development. Was Kawhi so insecure during the season with the 'Return from injury management' reports that he felt he had to give his side? Is this a sign he wants to patch things up with PATFO or evidence he's fully checked out and going to push for a trade?
In the end like I've been saying for the last 3 months, fuck Kawhi for ever letting it get to this point. It was not necessary and only hurt everyone in the process--if he was hurt and going to seek outside advice, he should have told Spurs "shut me down." Now he has to mend fences with the players, fans, and the jefes.

I am still not sure what's Kawhi camp talking point will be when they have a sit down with PATFO: "I have sat out 73 games this season and I want double the salary I got for doing just that guaranteed for the next 5 years? .
His uncle does seem to the audacity to say it. But one wonders what would be their response if the Spurs ask: "Hey Kawhi, what's going on with that rehab thingie"..
IF SA get peremptorily sidetracked in that conversation and his camp continues to be short on details when it comes to his health status. The discussion will get interesting from there.
And it is hard for me to see the equivalent of "Supermax" getting offered as next step in any other field of business negotiations under similar circumstances.
DPG21920
06-06-2018, 05:57 PM
At the end of the day unless SA knows Kawhi is legit physically damaged and the impacts of that will be immediate, I think they should offer the full SuperMax. Getting Kawhi under contract, immediately gives them leverage even if he wants out and will help in trades.
The only caveat to that is the injury like I said. If they know he’s truly damaged, then you can’t do that. But if you think he will be 90%+ for years, then you do it and trade him later with more leverage.

This isn't "any other field of business negotiations under similar circumstances". Major professional sports should rarely be applied or compared to most professions because the employees, particularly those of Leonard's magnitude, are not easily disposable or replaceable. They can't just trade him for or sign a comparable player. That's why superstar and star athletes have leverage.
If they don't offer the super max or his representation doesn't have a sense that they will sometime soon, they can just request a trade and if its not granted, the Spurs would face the prospect of next season being even more awkward and uncomfortable than last and he could leave them with nothing at the conclusion of it.

Exactly. That's why, outside of that caveat, I've never deviated from them offering the Super max and him accepting it. Just like I never deviated from Aldridge and them continuing their marriage of convenience, for the same reason: its in both sides best interest.

Unlike what you think, growing a bone is a way better diagnosis than quad tendinopathy...When a player has an ossification there are many treatments to try, many ways to fix it, even surgically.
Sadly, you can't fix tendinopathies with surgeries.

Or coach is old, stubborn and can't adjust to the modern NBA anymore. Our starting center is 37 years old and can't play in the modern age NBA. The rest of the roster is either too young to compete or old as dust, can't shoot or too short. Other than LMA, what can we offer? Be honest guys, would you choose SA over Philly? Over Houston or even the Cavs? This team would be pretty good in the late 90's, eary 00's but not anymore.

For all the people crying for kL to get Supermax, just realize that if we are paying that for damaged goods, it will cripple this franchise for the life of the contract. It’s happened so many times over the last 30 years to NBA teams. Heck, even if he plays, if he’s not 2016-17 KL playing 85-100% of games he’s not worth it
i think most of us are painfully aware of the gamble here and that runs in both directions. either you inherit an injury prone player who eats up your cap space or you lose the league's best weapon against either durant or lebron (when healthy). it is the obvious risk but our perspective is from the outside looking in.

Like it or not every decision, every NBA's move is a gamble.
Sometimes the risks are very small, sometimes big, there are also many imponderables that can't be analyzed...
Sometimes you have to take big risk when the stakes are small, take bigger risks to bigger success...You know, risk big, win bigger.

WOAI is reporting Kawhi is expected to sign the extension.
He was never leaving.
IF he is healthy he wil be first supermax guy who truly deserves it, right?
Always wanted him in LA. after his first Finals run ...but SA seems like a good fit for his persona ...
Congrats, if true ...

All Kawhi gear has been discounted to 50%

The man didn't play all season. Some merch probably piled up and, considering that the season is over, they are understandably trying to move it.
It's called retail people. Dollar General is trying to make a buck, not drop hints of their inside scoop on Kawhi. :lmao
Shits been discounted since ASB.
Season ended last week. Meh.

Yeahhhh.

HEB isn't a mom and pop shop, they're the team's biggest sponsor and will probably be the ones to dish out the money to have their logo on the game jersey. I don't get why it's funny to think they might be one of the few people/companies the Spurs would be transparent with.
Hope I'm just reading too much into it though, obviously.

Agree. Plus new designs and inventory need to go through the door every year. Jerseys will sell like crazy regardless if Kawhi and the Spurs do indeed come together and hashout a longterm deal this off season.

Easily solved if Lebron arrives in Spursland, wouldnt you say??
Yes, rather instantaneously, I'd say.

“dinner with someone” = credible sourcing?
or is it your confirmation bias coming into play
No... It's WHO he had the dinner with... U don't have to name a person, but it has to be a source that can be refuted... For example no one knows the exact person leaking info from the white house, but they say a staffer... That's a source... They're not just giving information without saying WHERE they got the info from, which a lot of the media has been doing... They say "Kawhi wants out of San Antonio"... Ummm... Ok... SOURCE??? if u can't say where you got that info from, you made it up, and are presenting it as fact for clicks

Falacy. You can't ever get an ongoing source to go on the record when the subject is extremely sensative. With your logic, Nixon would have finished out two terms, because Deep Throat was anonymous.

Dude... An anonymous source is STILL a source!!! I'm talking about the ppl in the media that make declarations as if they're fact, but have no sources... They're just speculation, but they state them as fact for clicks

almost all of the kawhi rumor stories are based upon an anonymous source like “someone close to kawhi” or “a league executive” or “someone with knowledge of the situation” etc
the “dinner with a friend” story is no different. the only reason duncan2k5 thinks it is more reliable is it reinforces what he wants to believe
-When Kawhi was asked about if he wants to be a Spur for life he said yes.
-He told Danny the same thing.
-Jabari Young who is close to his camp, said the same.
I guess it's not just what duncan2k5 wants to believe, it's clear that the player wants an extension.
The ball has always been in Spurs' camp, they have to make the decision to give him the extension or not.

What player would not want 219M. I think everyone knew that. The question was always really what is he doing to prove he deserves that and that he’s committed to the team? You don’t get 219M for just your play and even if you did, he didn’t play an entire season so it should not be expected.
Hopefully Kawhi can prove he handled his rehab appropriately, is 100% long-term and short-term and that he’s willing to be the face of franchise and all that come with that.

Really? What's about the close source to the team "Manu4Thre3" posting here that Kawhi wanted to go home, to play in a bigger market, that he would sacrifice the supemax in order to play in a city like LA, Boston or NY??
What's about the fans willing to believe those stupid rumors even when they know about Kawhi's low profile.
I was one of the few saying those rumors were just shit, don't tell me that the question was always the same...

For Kawhi? Ya - it was. Fans have nothing to do with this. We have no say or sway.

You made headlines after saying Kawhi Leonard told you he wanted to be back with the Spurs. Can you elaborate?
I just put out what I know, and that’s not much. I talk to (Leonard) as much as I can, but I don’t talk to him that much as a whole. He stresses the same thing to me as he stresses to (the media). There is no news. He says he wants to be a Spur and retire there. He said that to you. He’s expressed that. When I talked to him, he says he’s been with us, he’s always on board with us and (wanted) to be a part of what we did, and he’s trying to get right. But things may change.
Is Danny on twitter arguing with Woj tonight? Guess not.
I dunno mang, Kawhis shit is still on discount at HEB for 50%
HEB with the goods, tbh.
