Young: sources tell @ExpressNews that Kawhi Leonard wants to be traded from Spurs

[Dex]

If Boston gives us Tatum and Kyrie screw the picks, I'd take that.

That cheapskate Ainge is probably dangling a fucking S&T for Rozier and a 2021 second-rounder.

[SpursDynasty85]

I told y'all. They haven't offered it and this is the real reason he is "saying" he wants to go to the Lakers or Los Angeles for that matter.

There is no way they offer that. Lakers would prefer just sending him so they can pay him less money. Also, Spurs couldn't trade for 1 year, Kawhi ruins team chemistry for that year and the Spurs cant trade him because he has a no trade clause. It's too risky for the Spurs if the relationship is truly broken. To me, this relationship is not repairable.

[BillMc]

If Kawhi was willing to commit, do you think they would actually offer that? Even with Kyrie with a year left, I would definitely take that deal.

I think Boston thinks Kyrie is gone so they're more willing to deal him than you'd expect. Especially with their success without him. Tatum is the tougher piece to get actually.

[BatManu20]

Come on Ainge... Pony up and give us Tatum and a pick and we'll call it a day.

[SpursDynasty85]

He is hedging :lmao..

Lol. It's like reading two opposite opinions by two different people.

[look_at_g_shred]

That cheapskate Ainge is probably dangling a fucking S&T for Rozier and a 2021 second-rounder.
Soo true

[Russ]

If Lonzo is traded somewhere, that most likley signals Kawhi is headed to LA.

That would be the second point guard that the Lakers took with the second pick in the entire draft that they had to unload in a fire sale.

Jeannie and Magic can blame Deangelo Russell on Kupchak -- Lonzo Ball is strictly on them.

[Spurs9]

I think Boston thinks Kyrie is gone so they're more willing to deal him than you'd expect. Especially with their success without him. Tatum is the tougher piece to get actually.
Yeah I think Kyrie is probably included in any deal, baseline would need to be him with tatum or brown.

[bklynspursfan]

Didn't Kyrie say he wanted to play in SA? Or rather wasn't it reported when he wanted out in Cleveland that we were one of the few teams?

[Mr. Body]

I think Boston thinks Kyrie is gone so they're more willing to deal him than you'd expect. Especially with their success without him. Tatum is the tougher piece to get actually.

Boston needs to get rid of one of their big buck guys or else they're facing tons of pain in the near future

[NASpurs]

Lol. It's like reading two opposite opinions by two different people.

He's been contradicting himself during this whole thing, like if his "sources" are coming from the two teams. I don't know what to believe.

Like he'll say one thing on one tweet and then immediately contradict himself minutes later with a following tweet. It's a mindfuck.

[picnroll]

If Boston is Spurs preference they have to be asking for Tatum.

[BillMc]

That cheapskate Ainge is probably dangling a fucking S&T for Rozier and a 2021 second-rounder.

yea there was a 200+ thread on it last summer

[Spurs9]

Jeannie and Magic can blame Deangelo Russell on Kupchak -- Lonzo Ball is strictly on them.

I think Lonzo will be really good, he has good instincts, they wouldn't even consider a trade most likely if big baller brand wasn't around. He will eventually improve his shot.

[look_at_g_shred]

Give me kyrie and brown plus a pick and we good

[Spurs4#5]

It’s probably not just kawhi they’re shopping. It’s probably gasol and Danny green as well. So I’m sure this won’t happen today or even tomorrow. I have my money on it being a 3 or 4 team trade

[RD2191]

Woj has multiple personality disorder tbh imo

[MoSpur02]

Also, Spurs couldn't trade for 1 year, Kawhi ruins team chemistry for that year and the Spurs cant trade him because he has a no trade clause. It's too risky for the Spurs if the relationship is truly broken. To me, this relationship is not repairable.

Just saying it's obvious the Spurs haven't offered the supermax, which I'm okay with. It's too much money for a guy coming off an injury that caused him to miss almost the whole season. He obviously wants the supermax. The Spurs are obviously reluctant to give it to him.

[SpursDynasty85]

Give me kyrie and brown plus a pick and we good

Especially if they take Gasol. I wonder if that frees up cap room.

[Texas_Ranger]

Irving + one of brown or tatum and i'll gladly say fuck off kawhi

[bklynspursfan]

Should we expect a Shams tweet soon? Lately when Woj posts something about the Spurs, Shams puts something out there with more info/details and or something different.

[baseline bum]

Only way the Spurs should make a trade this week is if it's for Tatum and the Sacramento or Memphis pick, plus whatever crap other than Horford that Boston needs to throw in to make the trade legal. Ingram + Kuzma is a trade you make in a month or two if all other options have been exhausted.

[NASpurs]

It’s probably not just kawhi they’re shopping. It’s probably gasol and Danny green as well. So I’m sure this won’t happen today or even tomorrow. I have my money on it being a 3 or 4 team trade

Yeah send them out too. I'm ready.

[look_at_g_shred]

So stein reports that the spurs are ready to move on from Kawhi but then Woj says that spurs can still try and salvage the relationship ???? This shit is frustrating man

[bklynspursfan]

yea there was a 200+ thread on it last summer

Thought so... So he'd probably be cool with that

[Dverde]

Any straight up deal from Boston will have to include either Kyrie, Hayward, or two of Morris, Brown or Tatum.

[Dex]

Clam chowder, a Steven Tyler autographed bong and one Patriots ticket (regular season)

Apparently all you have to do to be a reputable journalist these days is throw out every possibility and then act like a prophet when one of them inevitably develops.

[objective]

Woj's follow up tweet probably came following push back from the Spurs

[TimDunkem]

Wait so they didn't even offer the Supermax??? Wtf is going on?

[MoSpur02]

His uncle is holding out for the supermax. The Spurs are not wanting to offer it until they get the 100 from the medical standpoint

[Vic Petro]

[exstatic]

I don't understand people who don't want to trade Kawhi to the Lakers.... ok he may want only lakers and we will fulfill his desire but if the trade give us randle kuzma and ingram + pick/picks ( at least ingram randle and picks) , imo we would not find better young guys with another team.

So if it's the better offer i'm ok with it.

Ingram is a huge question mark, Kuzma is a warm body, and those picks will be shit, once Kawhi gets there.

Fultz has both a higher ceiling and lower floor than Ingram, Saric is...euro Kuzma, but that pick...that 2021 Miami pick is UNPROTECTED and could win you the lottery. Even Boston's Sacto is top 1 protected against a lottery win.

[Mugen]

Wait so they didn't even offer the Supermax??? Wtf is going on?

There have never been reports that Kawhi turned down the supermax.

Only dumbass Laker fans and casual fans thought that Leonard turned it down.

[Russ]

Plus he tweeted that the Spurs can take their time and maybe offer the supermax.

The Supermax requires some trust it would seem.

What would prevent Kawhi from signing the SuperMax (with a no-trade) then sitting out another season and demanding a trade to the Lakers.

The Spurs would probably get even less and Kawhi would get his Supermax (which the Lakers couldn't otherwise offer him).

Without trust, nothing works.

[Uriel]

So stein reports that the spurs are ready to move on from Kawhi but then Woj says that spurs can still try and salvage the relationship ???? This shit is frustrating man
Woj said they're fully engaged in trade talks.

[Mark in Austin]

3 Way bidding war between Boston, Philly and LA is nice.

Hey Ainge, if Justice Winslow was worth 4 #1 picks to you, we expect a lot more for Kawhi... :bobo

Its a negotiating tactic, they are playing the "We have lots of options we may just keep him and lock him up". Teams like the Lakers panic and it ups the trade package. He will be traded.

[Uriel]

Woj saying they're fully engaged in trade talks and Stein saying they're ready to move on from Kawhi. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets moved in the next 24 hours.

I really hope I'm wrong.

[TimDunkem]

There have never been reports that Kawhi turned down the supermax.

Only dumbass Laker fans and casual fans thought that Leonard turned it down.

I wasn't sure. I thought there was a bit maybe a week before it was reported Leonard wanted out that the Spurs were willing to offer the Supermax now. With all the other tweets about the Spurs being hopeful to keep him, I figured the SM was on the table. Guess not.

[NASpurs]

Kyrie is a nice piece alongside another star. But you are getting him for 1 year. I think he goes to Brooklyn next year.

I get what you're saying but the Spurs were on his preferred list a year ago of teams that he wanted to play for.

The media is freaking out because LeBron has given the Lakers a deadline.

Nothing for the Spurs has changed.

They are not in a hurry.

They are not afraid to let Kawhi walk in free agency in a year.

They are not going to trade for crap they don’t want just for the sake of getting something.

They understand that they’ll get 50 cents on the dollar at best.

They are not going to hand $219 million to a player, regardless of talent, who malingered and quit on his team for most of a season, unless they see a change in which he mans up and takes accountability for his behavior.

Because if he doesn’t, you can’t build a team around him anyway.

So they are fine with moving on.

But they are willing to keep the door open should he have a change of heart, up until someone offers a trade they like, or he leaves in free agency.

Boston is just as cautious as the Spurs. The Celtics probably know that the Spurs haven't offered the supermax and are wondering why.

From what I'm told and how I understand it, is the Spurs won't offer the supermax until they get some kind of clearance that he's 100% healthy.

Yeah, and they may be willing to put him on the court in pre-season to show that he's still able to play. There are portions. They don't need to move.

[Capt Bringdown]

You have to put emotion behind you, and look after yourself. You keep Kawhi next year and he walks for nothing. He’s leaving so might as well get the best start to a rebuild/retool . Kawhi gives you a headstart.

Yes, but not to the Lakers. Emotions? Trading Leonard to the Lakers is an irrational move.

First, the Lakers aren't offering anything special. Adding what they're offering would possibly improve our roster, but so would other moves.

Second, Leonard to the Lakers creates a super-team overnight, as LBJ will most likely go west to LA once Leonard is on board.

It is irrational for the Spurs to create another super-power out west.

Can't trade the guy if he gets a super max anyway. Kawhi and his camp are rumored to want a no trade clause. This coupled with the distrust is probably a no brainer not to offer that sort of contract.

I think that report from S.A.S about him being open to playing for the Clippers means Kawhi doesn't really wanna play with LeBron if he can help it. I'm sure LeBron has contacted Kawhi and probably got the feeling Kawhi doesn't wanna play with him.

Jerry West would love Kawhi and I am sure he is quietly trying to put something together to try to get Kawhi

you forget randle, i don't like much a kuzma ingram pack but if we could have those three plus picks i'll be ok . Except Brow from Boston i don't see better options for youth ( not mentioning tatum).

And you could not say fultz is a better prospect than ingram now, maybe but we don't know.... Fultz , Saric plus picks is not enough for me or equal to randle ingram +/- kuzma and picks.

[ernest787]

[offset formation]

The night life for black celebrities is not all that in SA. Got a feeling its more about culture.

Stop. First, the quote is "playing" not "living." Second Kawhi is not a night life guy during the season anyways. He's got a young family at home and is barely even seen out during the offseason.

[BillMc]

I am not sure Kawhi and LeBron and a roster full of minimum contracts beats the Warriors. Or even the Rockets, tbh. One injury to the big 2 (one who is 34 and long over due, and another who is injury prone) and they're even lottery bound.

[SpursDynasty85]

Word.. But ESPN has their angle. They want him in LA probably more than he wants to be. Jabari said not sure East teams have assets, that's just incorrect.

East teams are negotiating on a possible 1 yr rental basis. You cannot sell the farm and lose a player the next year. Your fans and ownership will fire whichever gm did the move.

[cd98]

Funny b/c we don't even know if the Spurs offered the supermax or, if they did, if he would take it. That's the most basic part of all of this and we don't even know that.

the only chance that happens is if NOLA accepts the Lakers garbage and flips AD for Kawhi.

Teams have waived physicals before, it's not a big deal. The waiving of the physical will be part if the trade

Besides, the physical would be hard for Kawhi to tank. He's already been cleared by the Spurs.
It's all pain management anyway supposedly solved by Philly doctor's rehab plan

The Spurs could not get Randle and that would be better than getting him, for instance.

Not sure what you mean there. Since Julius Randle is a RFA they could match any offer sheet and then trade him I thought. Either way, they have lots of assets so they can trade lonzo for a future lottery pick, give them the next years first round as well as possibly add Kuzma, Ingram, Hart
.. has any amount more ever been offered in a trade? Just saying causing Lakers to sell the farm, the Spurs would have to consider vs the East teams that would are negotiating under a possible 1 yr lease of Kawhi.

[mudyez]

The only players mentioned I like are Saric and Tatum (unless you count Hayward), but Tatum won't happen and Philly can't put together a package around Saric that makes sense (Fultz doesn't with Murray on our team).

That said, if no major shakeups (three teamers) happen, I'm all for keeping Kawhi and see what happens.

[Russ]

Teams have waived physicals before, it's not a big deal. The waiving of the physical will be part if the trade


The GM that goes for that definitely has his neck on the chopping block . . .

[Texas_Ranger]

Only a matter of time.

1012369300659867649

Wow, being a journalist is so fucking easy. I could just writr that the Spurs could trade kawhi to anyone. Amazing

[exstatic]

you forget randle, i don't like much a kuzma ingram pack but if we could have those three plus picks i'll be ok . Except Brow from Boston i don't see better options for youth ( not mentioning tatum).

And you could not say fultz is a better prospect than ingram now, maybe but we don't know.... Fultz , Saric plus picks is not enough for me or equal to randle ingram +/- kuzma and picks.

I doubt the Spurs even want Randle. He's in line to get paid more than Kawhi is making, while only showing flashes for like half a season of his career. Oh, and he can't shoot.

Fultz is both a better and worse prospect than Ingram, which is exactly what higher ceiling and lower floor means. Of the two, he's more likely to both bust out, or break out and be a star. You have to take that chance when you're getting fifty cents or less on the dollar in a trade, and hope to catch lighting in a bottle. LA has nothing remotely like that Miami 2021 unprotected pick, and that's the deal tipper for me.

[lmbebo]

There is no godfather offer that could come from LA, that's a joke

Even if it was Ingram+kuzma plus unprotected 2019, 2021, 2023, and 2025 firsts with optional pick swaps in 2020, 2022 and 2024.

And that should be the minimum

Was thinking the same on the way to work :D

Pop and Spurs waived the physical for Charles Smith after he failed it when the Knicks added cash to the deal

In the end it wasn't even his bad knees that ended his career but his ankles

I mean Randle would be a negative in a trade. Paying a 4 year, $108 million max deal for that pos sounds horrible.

Clam chowder, a Steven Tyler autographed bong and one Patriots ticket (regular season) The autographed bong and Kyrie and Tatum should get her done!!


Funny b/c we don't even know if the Spurs offered the supermax or, if they did, if he would take it. That's the most basic part of all of this and we don't even know that. Woj said earlier that they wouldn't offer it unless they have confirmation that he's healthy. Makes sense after sitting out an entire season!

[Russ]

Pop and Spurs waived the physical for Charles Smith after he failed it when the Knicks added cash to the deal

The Lakers, in their desperation, might waive the physical.

I don't think there's any way in hell Boston or Philly would.

[objective]

Been watching Ingram highlight videos in case the Spurs fold like pathetic cowards

Not impressive at all, and that's the highlights! Looks like Kyle Anderson willing to shoot long twos. Slow.

Nothing to get excited about

No wonder the Lakers want to get rid of him. Even weak, quitting Kawhi in his last 3 games as a Spur was about 10 times better, easy.

[MoSpur02]

Here is my breakdown:

Kawhi and Spurs meet and he asks for the supermax. Spurs say no.

Kawhi then leaks that he doesn't want to play for the Spurs anymore and prefers to go to L.A. This is done to try to get leverage and to try to force the Spurs to trade him to L.A.

Spurs and Kawhi meet again and again he asks for the $219 million. Spurs are a little more open to it, but only if they get a guarantee that he's 100% healthy, which is why Kawhi's camp leaks that he is pretty much 100% and should be ready to go by the time training camp starts.

Kawhi and Spurs talk recently and state they are open to coming back to San Antonio, but only for the $219 million and this time the Spurs are somewhat willing to give it to him, but only if they get that guarantee about his health. Kawhi says they will give the Spurs the health report or whatever if/when they get the supermax.

Spurs say no and now are open to trades. They still won't agree unless it's a crazy deal and still hold out hope Kawhi will be open to coming back.

Kawhi now says hey I'm also open to the Clippers and even a couple of teams on the East.

1012369862490873856

[rjv]

i've come to this conclusion. leonard on the spurs next season still does nothing to make the spurs better than GS as the spurs roster is currently constructed. it puts us into the western conference finals perhaps with a shot at something if an injury takes place but there is always the chance that the injury is to leonard himself (he's never played more than 70 games). lebron is going to be 34 for most of the upcoming season and then on to 35. yes, he's in remarkable shape but he's going to be on the wrong side of 30 soon. in some ways, the spurs have a chance to build a team for the first time. it's a gauntlet but one that they at least may have some pieces to build a foundation on. if they can get some first rounders and a solid off and on all star player then they may be better off than moving forward with a questionable leonard in terms of attitude and health. i trust they will not pull the trigger on a crappy trade so i can only hope they get the most for their buck. it's sad that it has come to this but leonard has proven to be a total douche in this entire process and that is something i have been reluctant to concede for quite some time.

Besides, the physical would be hard for Kawhi to tank. He's already been cleared by the Spurs.

This. Ingram and kuzma are both good solid players who cap out at above average starters. Fultz could be a bust but could also break out and be a star. The Miami pick could be crappy but it could also be a top pick in what should be a loaded draft. We aren’t getting a superstar equal value player right now for kwahi. So I try and get assets that can become one like fultz and the Miami pick. The Lakers is the safer offer. But I think puts us in the 6-12 range every year which I don’t want.

Because they're incompetent.

They actually had to give up assets to trade the second pick in the entire NBA draft (D. Russell) because they didn't do enough due diligence to see he was a head case.

Now they need to get rid of another second overall pick because they failed to ascertain that his whole family is head cases.

Meanwhile, they treat a hard-working and very talented "in-the-paint guy (Julius Randle) like persona non grata.

It's a confederacy of dunces.

Honestly, I think there's a pretty good chance that Fultz will bust and Miami will be a playoff team by 2021 (Spoelstra is good and Miami is always attractive to FAs). Also, Fultz would only add to Spurs' logjam of combo guards. With that said, I'd still prefer a trade with the Sixers for two reasons. One, the 2021 draft class could be really deep with it being the first year of HS prospects being allowed. Two, we don't give the Lakers a superteam.

So, it's Godfather 3, then...

:toast:lol

[dbestpro]

Ingram by his highlights is a catch and shoot player. He can take it to the hoop. Very average passing game. Little to no defense game. looks stiff. The player that standouts during Ingram"s highlights as having an all around game is Ball.

[LkrFan]

¿Recuerdas cuando la prensa publicitaron a Jordan Clarkson porque era un baloncestador joven en los Lakers? ¿Recuerdas cuando Javaris Crittenton fue publicitado como una futura superestrella cuando fue cambiado por MVPau? ¿Recuerdas cuando Tony Smith estaba publicitado durante las Finales de 1991 (y luego Lakerfan corrió a la pista por DK y MVPippen en su propio edificio)?

No, lo siento mi amigo. ¡no recuerdo nada de ese shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit tbh! :lmao

Have you seen Miami's cap sheet? It makes both the Gasol and Mills deals seem awesome. That Miami pick could be fucking gold.

wtf were they thinking with those contracts? :lol

this makes me want a sixers trade more. seriously though, i wanna know what they've offered so far?

He was a writer in Portland and might still have connections there

But he's still a buffoon

Ah good to know. Why the hell did we end up with him haha

Now the Spurs are shook :lol

[K...]

There godfather offer is that magic hires the mafia to off Daddy ball so the Spurs can take lonzo.

[picnroll]

Basketball-wise a year of Leonard is worth the entire career of Ingram.

[exstatic]

It could be middle of the pack also. That's a perfectly sound 6-10 team in the East with that average talent.

Oh, it could be. I'd take that over what will likely be Laker picks in the 20s, though, every day, and twice on Sunday.

Oh, and go ahead and age all of that talent 3-4 years without adding anything new, because they can't fucking afford it. This was our worst season in ages, and their pick (traded to PHO) was two spots better than where we grabbed Walker. That's two spots outside of the lottery. If you get IN the lottery, you have a chance to win.

Riley fucked up. He's constructing a roster that resembles that horror in Brooklyn a few years ago that they are still cleaning up. Overpaying non-stars never works out, especially not a half dozen at a time.

:lol

[Ron Swanson]

Tell Magic to fuck off if true.


Wojnarowski: The Lakers are willing to include former No. 2 overall pick Brandon Ingram and a future first-round pick in a package for Leonard, but the Spurs are seeking a far more complete haul of Lakers young players and future picks, league sources said.

If this is their godfather offer... :lol

[Mr. Body]

I wonder if the Lakers remember the last time they tried to put together a super team.

[picnroll]

I’m willing to trade Leonard to LA for Twitter rescinding Jabari Parker’s twitter account.

[Mugen]

Jabari needs to be muzzled like a dog tbh.

[InRareForm]

Ingram by his highlights is a catch and shoot player. He can take it to the hoop. Very average passing game. Little to no defense game. looks stiff. The player that standouts during Ingram"s highlights as having an all around game is Ball.

I think he will get more fluid with movement and also stronger. When he drives it looks like he travels but he is just able to get to the hoop like that

I think you might have the wrong Jabari...

[BillMc]

Jabari needs to be euthanized like a dog tbh.

[mclinejr]

Fuck LA. Leonard, I’ll see you at training camp.

[NASpurs]

I'll gladly consider Lonzo if we can get LaVar banned from Texas and put him on a no-fly list.

[SpursDynasty85]

Of course Lakers are going to play hardball. Let's not act like the Spurs have all the leverage too. Hopefully in the end it makes sense to send at least Kuzam, Ingram, and draft pick to the Spurs or else Spurs will definitely ship him east. Even then Lakers might like their chance of landing him next year. If we had Kawhi on a 3 year contract this would be another story.

It was leaked this past season that Lamarcus even called Lillard last summer and asked him to see if Portland could trade for him when he wanted out of San Antonio.


to the point where Aldridge called former teammate Damian Lillard and asked him to approach general manager Neil Olshey about bringing Aldridge back to Portland, a person familiar with the conversation told B/R.

https://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2018/05/report-lamarcus-aldridge-trade-spurs-blazers-damian-lillard.html

So, I think he could know for a fact that Porland would love to have him back...

[Russ]

Fuck LA. Leonard, I’ll see you at training camp.

That outcome would actually be the most fun . . . :)

LMA is such a faggot. Hopefully he gets the fuck out too.

[objective]

Holy shit does the Express News have the worst damn writers

Jabari: You can still watch Kawhi when he comes to town 3/4 times a year

McDonald: Spurs have won enough, it's okay to lose and let other teams win

[TimDunkem]

LMA is such a faggot. Hopefully he gets the fuck out too.

Yes please

[picnroll]

I'll gladly consider Lonzo if we can get LaVar banned from Texas and put him on a no-fly list.

Lonzo disowns his father, gets a 100 mile restraint order and agrees to let Chip rework his shot and I’d consider it. Sans dad and a reworked shot Lonzo is the best bet of the Lakers young players.

[ducks]

who will break the trade? or extension?

[SpursDynasty85]

That outcome would actually be the most fun . . . :)

Idk how that lands us more assets and might cause more friction in the locker room. The reason the Spurs are the Spurs is they cut away the cancer out of the locker room immediately. Keeping Leonard just to say "haha" that would make the Spurs look petty and detract more free agents from coming honestly. Pf course it would feel good in a sadistic way.
