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

[FkLA]

the "betrayal" is the spurs not having his back throughout the season, deserved or not. Pop constantly saying "i dont know, ask his camp" instead of saying "he's not ready to come back, we support his rehab" etc. shit like "dnp - injury return management" instead of "dnp-quad"

saying "he's been cleared since february, its up to him"... manu/tony making comments that were clearly directed at him

you could certainly say kawhi didnt deserve to have that support, given his actions. but that's probably what he's referring to, generally. i brought these up as bad signs when they were going on. there's also a lot of blame on kawhi for not really being part of the team, completely hiding from the media all season to help clear the air. but if you're looking from his perspective, you have a team that was publicly questioning his injury and commitment

It doesn't check out, imo.

He didn't feel betrayed when reports were coming out that tensions between the two sides had cooled and an extension was imminent? Only after Woj reported that PATFO wasn't going to go in on their hands and knees with the supermax?

Honestly, it's possible this bitch just wants the supermax and then pulls some weak shit a year from now anyway. The only reason to do it is because it gives the team more leverage in trade talks. Theirs no happy ending between the two sides regardless.

[RD2191]

Dude sends cryptic Tweets about how Spurs fan are spoiled and there is excitement coming, drops the news about Kawhi, and hides when people are calling out his cryptic Tweets.

Maybe he was being sarcastic tbh

[offset formation]

Why don't we start with roster construction.

Nice try. Next.

That roster was Vegas betting odds to be 4th most likely to win the chip this year. And it held the 3rd seed most of the year, WITHOUT HIM.

So get the fuck on with that garbage.

Besides last I heard they were trying to get him LeBron next year.

[Kori Ellis]

If it's true that Kawhi is asking to get traded to the Lakers, then that's been his plan all along. It didn't matter what Pop/RC/Parker/Manu/Medical Staff/Ball Boy did/said all year. So, no reason to play the blame game. Just ship him East in the best package you can get.

[FkLA]

"Pop has the power to correct any perceived deficiencies that Kawhi may have,” a league executive told the Express-News.

-By Jabari Young

I don't know what the hell is wrong this guy.

WTF does this even mean?

[daslicer]

So Kawhi basically stole 19 million from the Spurs this year to sit on his ass and plot forcing a trade :lol He dicked SA pretty good. I didn't think he had it in him. He always seemed like a humble guy who wouldn't play these kind of games. I guess the writing was on the wall when he didn't even show up to sit on the bench and support his team during the playoffs.

Uncle Dennis deserves all the credit. Kawhi is a retarded mute no way could he have come up with this scheme on his own.

[SpursforSix]

Where's he going to go in 2019? The Lakers will be all capped out, and have no leverage. He'd also have to leave ANOTHER $40M on the table to walk out. Sacto apparently doesn't really care, or are convinced that they can sign him. Like Cam said, if they call with that, you do it before they change their minds.

I'm saying he'd never even make it to SAC to have to worry about 2019. Would SAC believe that the $40M is enough to call his bluff and make the trade anyway? I agree that IF the trade happened, he'd probably stay there. But it's a matter of SAC believing it.

[RD2191]

:lol Kawhi doesn't like the Spurs roster, but he's demanding a trade to a team that won 12 less games and hasn't made the playoffs in 5 years? Stop..

Makes sense imo. Neither team is beating the dubs anyway. And who wants to play for a coach that put out media hits on you all season?

[TVI]

Yeah thats assuming the report of him being open to playing there to be true. God, I've love that trade so fucking much, honestly. He gets to go to one of the worst 3 franchises in the NBA and We get either Ayton or Luka. Sign me the fuck up for making that work.
This.

[offset formation]

So what if the Spurs just shrug and expect him at training camp. After all they have until next year's trade deadline.

You think Kawhi plays rehab again until then?

If I'm pop, unless I have a blockbuster deal, I tell Kawhi to try it. And if he does, sue him for two year's salary. Then be sure to show him the quote from his Uncle Dennis wherein he said Kawhi was almost 100%, 96% or 97% to be exact.

PATFO played them to get that admission on the record.

"National reports have already surfaced suggesting Leonard preferred destination is the Los Angeles Lakers, but league sources have told the Express-News the Philadelphia 76ers could be in play to acquire Leonard, too."
Well that’s something, Ben Simmons and fultz with dj would create such a bad shooting team, and pop loves his three guard lineups

Giving PATFO that much credit :lol RC is a drunk and Pop doesn't give a shit about basketball anymore.

[Leetonidas]

Can't wait to see this faggot get booed in SA and shit the bed on the court. He's a mental midget

[TD 21]

I'm not worried. This seems like an attempt at a power move by Kawhi's team after hearing PATFO was not going to come in begging. Leonard demanding a trade does not automatically mean he's going to get one. That's even more true after hearing his group pulled some DeAndre Jordan shit. I fully expect the team to continue to wait this out. If Kawhi's group is saying they're only willing to reup for the supermax, then they are willing to take less. Money is the most important thing to them, and making up with SA is the only way to maximize his future earnings, even if he doesn't get the full DPE.

:tu

If I'm them, I'd flat out tell his disgraceful ass and his scumbag representation/mouthpiece in the media (he should be fired immediately and black listed throughout the industry), that short of being blown away by the Celtics, 76ers, or someone unexpected (100% no to L.A.), they're not trading him.

Fuck him. He can come back, deal with this awkward, uncomfortable atmosphere that he's helped create and if they have a sense sometime between Dec. 15 (I know you know the significance of that date) and the trade deadline that it's still irreparable, then trade his ass hopefully after he's re-proven himself.

I don't think the offers will change much, if any in that time and even if it does end up costing them a secondary asset like a mid-late 20s pick in the '19 draft, it'll be well worth it to watch his ass have to squirm.

[-21-]

Well that’s something, Ben Simmons and fultz with dj would create such a bad shooting team, and pop loves his three guard lineups

The Sixers aren't trading Simmons.

Was wondering the same thing. Sounds like uncle Dennis wants Pop to tell the world that Kawhi really isn'ta bad guy and really was hurt so his trade value stays up...?!?

To me, it means offer the Super Max and we will sign.

[HarlemHeat37]

At least they won't feel the pressure to trade him like the Cavs did with Kyrie..

Cleveland had to deal with the 24/7 LeBron news cycle, it would have been a major distraction had they kept Kyrie against his wishes..Spurs would get headlines, but wouldn't be much different than we saw all season, it wouldn't take over the basketball world like the Kyrie drama..

[exstatic]

I'm saying he'd never even make it to SAC to have to worry about 2019. Would SAC believe that the $40M is enough to call his bluff and make the trade anyway? I agree that IF the trade happened, he'd probably stay there. But it's a matter of SAC believing it.

I'm not sure I can explain it to you other than to say...it's Sacramento. Their owner thought it would be a good idea to run the cherry-picker offense from his daughter's youth league. :lol

What would be funny is if SA trades him to a non-Laker destination, and then PG13 and Bron look at each other, and realize that the two of them can't get it done against GS, and the whole Laker fantasy falls apart. PG13 takes the extra $40M to stay in OKC, and Bron does whatever he does.

[RD2191]

Ah, so that's your second best theory. Keep fishing.

Just like the Spurs next few seasons :lol

[marinoman]

Please highlight this mistake PATFO made with Kawhi. I want you to be clear.

[Hoops Czar]

:lol Kawhi doesn't like the Spurs roster, but he's demanding a trade to a team that won 12 less games and hasn't made the playoffs in 5 years? Stop..

He/his uncle wants him in LA and maybe he will form a super team there with LeBron..maybe he felt betrayed by Pop and Parker, that's it..

That team that won 12 less games swept the Spurs in the season series in resounding fasshion. :lol You really think that a team that's younger, more athletic and has enough cap space to sign two max free agents is in a less than desirable position compared to a team that has practically no cap space for the next three years, is much older and tripped their way into the seventh seed last postseason? I should stop.... :lol

[offset formation]

To me, it means offer the Super Max and we will sign.

Maybe so. But if I'm Pop at this point, after this unprofessional move by Kawhi's reps, I tell him...DO NOT WANT. You will be moved at a time and to a place of our choosing. If you walk from there, you just cost yourself another $40M. So your little stunt cost you $80M. You fucked with the wrong team. So go sit in a corner until I tell you that you've been traded, or that I need you in the game, capiche?

[BillMc]

So, the next question is "Will the face-to-face happen at all?"

I'd say yes. But who knows with Uncle Dennis and Car Trunk agent....

:lmao stop it with the corny tough guy act. Kawhi has the power here. Even if he gets traded to a shit franchise he'll just join the Lakers in free agency. And kawhi will easily make back the money he lost with endorsements in a big market.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The face to face happened and Kawhi wants out

[Keepin' it real]

What about his tendinopathy? You know, that mysterious one-in-a-billion freak injury that is undetectable by all modern medical techniques? The same injury that limited him to only 9 games?

Why don't we hear any teams being concerned about that? Probably because, like me, they can smell that "tendinopathy" bullshit a mile away. That fool be healthy. And everyone knows it.

[TDomination]

So, the next question is "Will the face-to-face happen at all?"

I'd say yes. But who knows with Uncle Dennis and Car Trunk agent....

You would figure he owes it to pop to at least sit and talk with him. I mean geez, pop stood up for kawhi so many times throughout his career. Trading his favorite player in George hill for kawhi, to constantly saying kawhi was best player in NBA a couple years ago when others would say it's Westbrook james curry or Durant and for giving him the keys to the franchise to be the future of this very successful team.

TRUTH FUKIN BOMB. Was about to post the same thing. Pop fucked up sending his weasel Parker to throw kawhi under the bus. It was cheap and unnecessary.

Parker was only defending the Spurs doctors that have taken care of these players and never been questioned on their medical treatments! Give me a fucking break! The mute never speaks and the media were like vultures asking Pop constantly on the status of Kawhi, WTH was he's supposed to say? Of course he could only answer that their doctors cleared him to play but the mute was in NY getting 2nd and 3rd opinions and I wouldn't be surprised that leach of an uncle was whispering in his ear that he shouldn't trust the Spurs doctors! That leach uncle has an agenda wants him in a large market so he can steal more money off of him! Mute is too stupid to realize he's being used and this leach will take all of his money in the end! So Pop or Parked did not fuck up you morons! Geez

Completely delusional and illogical, tbh..
I was asked what were the FO mistakes with Kawhi and I gave one example. There is no roster flexibility and no real way of improving the team other than gutting it for Lebron which isn't happening. The cap space is virtually non existent after the Pau and Paddy contracts. There is no reason to stay with an organization that prefers culture and friendship over talent and skill. The NBA is a business and the Spurs are treating it like a backyard BBQ or a neighborhood block party. Pop has also said many times that winning is secondary to life. Well, try explaining that to a 26 year old trying to win championships as he watches his head coach piss games away left and right while being thoroughly outcoached and laughing about it in the post game press conference while he lauds his opponents to death.

Of course I prefer/want him to come to Lakers if he is healthy... I may even want him over Lebron cuz he is younger.
But if I take my bias out of it Boston has the best assets over Philly and Lakers.
IF Kyrie is healthy Kyrie (doubtful) and Tatum would be a great haul and celts could build around Hayward and Kiwi.
Everyone says Ainge wont budge on Tatum but that is EXACTLy why spurs should insist even at the cost of not getting both the sacto and memphis pick

I Was Spurfan when shaq was traded. I screamed everywhere I could that we should have insisted on Wade (before wade ws great) because you should NEVER trade an established star WITHOUT getting their best young player on the other team. Picks alone are not enough. Everyone said riles would not include Wade but if had not Iwould not have traded them Shaq. I thought Brown and Tatum were closer ...but after the ECF the gap is further as Baseline said ...no Tatum, no Kiwi. PERIOD.

[Vic Petro]

Finally - we’ll get a truly exciting offseason.

Sad that it’s over but I’m not too broken up about it. I’d hate to seem them trade for some mediocre vets for some attempt at a semblance of relevancy. Take the best package of picks or kids and pull the trigger wherever it is. I’d trade Lamarcus too. Go young and hoard picks until you arrive at your next true superstar.

Your mistake is that you think that frugal Kawhi is making the decisions. The vultures have descended from the sky. A desperate, sketchy former NFL agent, currently without an agency, paid his uncle a $1M 'development deal' to have access to and control over Kawhi's future. End of story.

[sexinthatsx]

Saw this coming from a mile away tbh. I don't really care so much about what Kawhi was thinking, but I definitely knew what Spurs were thinking. Pop was pretty much as good as gone when Spurs FO decided to start cleaning house by having the assistant coaches interview with other teams. Spurs fans were in denial, but if you take a look at the facts, all signs were pointing to it.

Here's to hoping Kawhi falling back to mediocrity once he goes to any other team. This will only make Pop look twice as good before he retires. Kawhi is a chump, and he was fronting all along since he joined the Spurs.

[Mugen]

Hopefully Jabari gets pulled over by some local SA Police tbh

[cd021]

At least he would be losing like 60 millions dollars, or whatever it is that he will lose if no team is able to sign him to a supermax.

But, ok, I changed my tune. They can have Kawhi if they give us Ingram, Kuzma and a first round pick. Nothing less than that.

That is a outrageously bad trade. Ingrim is a pretty polarizing prospect and Kuzma was a decent rookie, that doesn't make up a trade package. L.A would have to throw in the 25th pick plus a 2019 and 2021 pick to even be in consideration.

Yeah, but usually they're controlling the group, not the other way around.

Kawhi and Mills for Covington, Fultz, Saric, 10th pick, and Parsecniks but y'all didn't wanna listen.

Yikes, this news sucks.

[offset formation]

No no, you explain why kawhi is leaving.

His feelers got hurt. If you'll recall, I was Team Kawhi until it became clear he went AWOL. Even then I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Dabom started a thread on who was still with Kawhi. Go read it to see my evolution on him. It's all there. Tbh, all you have to be able to do is understand even basic human psychology. He felt ambushed. But the team just wanted to know what the fuck was going on. Their best player was barely playing and they didn't understand Kawhy. Plus Uncle Dennis has been in his ear about greener pastures. He's about to find out Uncle Dennis was in this more for himself than his nephew.

Ok, your turn.

Have a feeling LeBron is going to Boston if Ainge trades Tatum, picks for Kawhi. Celtics would have Irving, Horford, LeBron, Kawhi, Hayward, good luck beating that Warriors. Spurs should get Irving/Tatum for Kawhi though.

Spurs get a decent return and get to watch the Warriors get skull fucked from an Eastern team? Sign me up.

[exstatic]

Saw this coming from a mile away tbh. I don't really care so much about what Kawhi was thinking, but I definitely knew what Spurs were thinking. Pop was pretty much as good as gone when Spurs FO decided to start cleaning house by having the assistant coaches interview with other teams. Spurs fans were in denial, but if you take a look at the facts, all signs were pointing to it.

Here's to hoping Kawhi falling back to mediocrity once he goes to any other team. This will only make Pop look twice as good before he retires. Kawhi is a chump, and he was fronting all along since he joined the Spurs.

Uh, The assistants leaving isn't cleaning house. Pop has ALWAYS encouraged his assistants (and FO personnel) to leave for advancement.

Mike Brown
Joe Prunty
Borrego to Orlando
Monty Williams to N.O.
Jacques Vaughn
Bret Brown
Mike Bud

Starting in 2015, Udoka and Messina have pretty much interviewed every year.

Yeah but to me LeBron would look stupid as f**k in a Celtics jersey after all the battles from seasons past he has had with that team.

Starting to think LeBron is going to Lakers to form a superteam instead of Boston. I doubt Pop would want to trade Kawhi to Lakers, an old Spurs rival.

I like Tatum for Kawhi, best deal Spurs can get for him. Tatum has plenty of upside.

[Dingle Barry]

They should be begging tbh. Spurs need Kawhi, Kawhi doesn't need the Spurs.

Spurs don't need a broken down pussy who doesn't play through soreness.

[blizz]

Fuck this bitch ass pussy. He knew all along he wasn’t going to stay. This whole thing was made up to give him a reason to give us to leave. The spurs didn’t betray him, he betrayed the spurs. He intentionally sat out to protect his pay day. I hope the spurs can make an example of him somehow. Sue the shit out of him. Get the league involved. This can’t be good for the NBA.

Evidently you don't know how this works. Neither did I until this season. He immediately loses out on about $40M by not having the supermax tender.

Then if we trade him somewhere and he doesn't resign with that team, the most he can max out on with another team is yet another $40M below that. So yes, he can get a "max" offer wherever he ends up. But it will be $80 fucking million less than a supermax. His soft underbelly and dipshit representation prolly cost him a minimum of $40M.

That's a fuckton of money, I dont care who you are.

[YGWHI]

Is this Jabari's way of blaming Pop and saying only Pop can fix this? Is this what Uncle Dennis told him?

They're so stupid if they think they can change Pop's mind. Also, I don't think the Spurs are desperate, a trade means many good possibilities.

Tom Osborn, Mike Finger and Jeff McDonald were always PATFO voice, Finger wrote an article four days ago saying that how great would be trading Kawhi and Pau Gasol for LeBron...

If we get LBJ for Kawhi, and DJ improves...I like Spurs' chances.


This is where I should mention again, despite this scenario’s obvious craziness, that if the Spurs and Leonard don’t work things out and James decides he wants to do an “opt-in-and-trade” deal, the Cavaliers will not get a better offer for him than Leonard and Pau Gasol.

Hope the Lakers move Ball out and get an asset for him (say the two Clippers picks at 12 and 13) and then trade the Spurs those picks plus Ingram, Kuzma, Deng and the Cavs pick (25) for Kawhi and filler to make numbers work. Heck, I’d want more than that to take on Deng’s corpse so throw in something else.

Then hope Kawhi plays 35 games a season and turns into a combination of Brandon Roy and Gerald Wallace after signing an extension with the Lakers next offseason and screwing them.

Some will be capped out, some know he wouldn't be the first choice and want the leg up, and it's better to win now then next year. Kawhi would also lose more contract rights as a free agent

[baseline bum]

Why shouldn't teams that want Kawhi just wait the year for him to hit free agency?

Philly and LA could just wait a year. Boston could never create the capspace so they'd want to make a move now to get him.

[YGWHI]

Weren't you one of the clowns you thought myself and MoSpur02 were just making shit up?

How does it taste?

MoSpur02 "source" told him that Kawhi has a "mental issue", then his doctors found an ossification in his quad...Do you really think a "mental issue" make a bone grow??

Mo and you and your "close sources to the team"... At least, you make me laugh.

[spurschamps99030507]

clown, traitor, he would never have reached that level without the spurs organization

[baseline bum]

The system can still get us 50+ and into the playoffs :lol

You're really pissing me off today robdiaz, I'm this close to reaching out to INS.

[cjw]

Doc isn't our GM anymore. We're not trading both our picks for the Lakers' trash in order to help them get a player we want.

Right. Just threw that out there as the type of value to be realized for Lonzo. More a point that the Lakers would need to include all of Ingram, Kuzma and Lonzo in a deal to be something that’s close to workable given they have no other assets, and the Spurs aren’t touching the Balls.

[Chucho]

LOL @ his camp failing. Wanting to go to the Lakers is as out of style as his cornrows.

[Dingle Barry]

They were thinking get him to a big market. He wasn't injured, he had been cleared to play for months.

But why did he have to sit out to make that happen? I'd think they'd at least try demanding a trade first.

[spurschamps99030507]

he and his group do the maximum damage by making public that wants to leave, he doesnt do it in private so that the organization makes a better trade before it is public, bad intention

[HarlemHeat37]

But why did he have to sit out to make that happen? I'd think they'd at least try demanding a trade first.
It's very evident by now that Kawhi's squad isn't very organized:lol

His uncle isn't a pro, he's new at this shit, part of the reason this entire ordeal has been so strange and confusing from the onset..

[DPG21920]

F$ck kawhi

Uncle Dennis vs Lavar, I'd pay to see that shit.

[RD2191]

F$ck kawhi

I was wondering when you'd show up. :lol

[spurschamps99030507]

it is impossible that there are so many people wrong, popovich, parker, ginobili the rest of the team, he is a traitor, he is a clown, he has done the maximum possible damage to the organization, he left his teammates in the regular season....

I hope he becomes the new greg oden

[HarlemHeat37]

Uncle Dennis vs Lavar, I'd pay to see that shit.

Lavar is a self-made, media icon, tbh..if he was running this, Kawhi would already be wearing a Lakers jersey and Pop would be crying in a corner like he just spent an hour in Kobe's room..

[DPG21920]

Kawhi is a bitch and these was called by numerous posters. F him. It’s why I’ll be at draft

[RD2191]

[tim_duncan_fan]

If they're smart that's what they'll do. Although apparently the Lakers can't sign him outright in free agency for some reason.
Really? Why couldn't they?


Some will be capped out, some know he wouldn't be the first choice and want the leg up, and it's better to win now then next year. Kawhi would also lose more contract rights as a free agent

Makes sense, thanks. But what rights would Leonard lose?


Philly and LA could just wait a year. Boston could never create the capspace so they'd want to make a move now to get him.
Sounds like Boston is the only way we actually get something for Kawhi then.

[Leetonidas]

:wow DPG shitting on Kawhi

[MoSpur02]

Mo and you and your "close sources to the team"... At least, you make me laugh.

You don't think he has mental issues??? That's fine. I think he does. I reported what I heard, which was;

Spurs were considering trading him before the trade deadline. - True
Uncle was the one who was influencing Kawhi and this whole situation. - True
Was becoming a distraction and somewhat a cancer in the locker room. - True

You kept saying he was hurt. I disagreed and stated he was cleared, but didn't want to play.

[MaNu4Tres]

What is Derrick White's dad saying about all this?

I'll ask him.

Kawhi takes shits that are bigger than DPG.

But he can’t wipe his ass.

starts at 1:30
"group comment" is at about 2:45

Kawhi has apparently been stalling on meeting with Pop and might just want to speak with him on the phone. What a fucking pussy POS.

Wilbon shitting all over Uncle Dennis

[RD2191]

Lavar Ball is a clown. Pop would kick his nuts up into his throat , tbh.

[BillMc]

Wilbon shitting all over Uncle Dennis

Yep. So in the end the "group" thing is still the issue. Pop wants a 1-on-1 ala with LMA last year. Kawhi's group wants to be there. Neither side budges. Now the camp says he wants out. Whether genuine or a tactic who can say. The problem with having Leonard's advisers there is Kawhi is unlikely to even say a word. You can't repair the relationship with a crowd, you can only have a formal negotiation. But I do see (critical as I am of Kawhi) why a shy guy would want them there, especially if he trust Dennis and CarAgent, and no longer trusts the Spurs.

In the end, I think the Spurs are going to have to cave and just get a meeting with the groupies present and give it their best shot. Otherwise, trade his ass.

[Uriel]

This sounds like a ploy by Kawhi’s uncle to gain leverage in negotiations when Pop and Kawhi sit down to discuss the supermax, especially when that article by Woj came out that the Spurs were a long way from doing so.

[FkLA]

If I'm the Spurs I say fuck the meeting and just cut the cancer. It's time for him to go. Congrats Uncle Dennis on costing your nephew a $219 million extension.

[Vic Petro]

I would’ve preferred they keep him and try to make it work but at this point it’s too late to go back.

— History of annoying injuries that cost him games
— Degenerative chronic quad injury
— Still not 100% after a year
— A mute
— Very questionable handlers and representation
— About to eat up a huge percentage of your cap

A really terrific player and it was a pleasure watching him play. Thanks for the memories. But given all the drama, it’s time they cut their losses and make the best possible deal.

[YGWHI]

You don't think he has mental issues??? That's fine. I think he does.

So...you think it or your "source"? Like it or not, his quad was injured. Spurs' doctors diagnosis tendinopathy, his doctors said it was ossification.

Of course, "your source" who is a doctor said "mental issue"...Again, you make me laugh.


Spurs were considering trading him before the trade deadline. - True
Every reporter says the Spurs didn't even hear Boston's offer..But sure, they wanted to trade him at deadline.

Your "source" was wrong again, I wonder why...


Uncle was the one who was influencing Kawhi and this whole situation. - True
His uncle is like a father for him, everyone knows it. It's pretty obvious that Kawhi trusts him more than any agent..


You kept saying he was hurt. I disagreed and stated he was cleared, but didn't want to play.
He didn't want to play?? Why did he come then? He came back and played 9 games until he felt pain again.

[exstatic]

I don’t think ‘the meeting’ is about the SuperMax or any other negotiation. Pop wants to see if things can be fixed. If Kawhi won’t even meet, then there is zero chance to fix things, and reestablish trust. It’s over.

He might be the most annoying broken record fanboy I have ever seen in any sport message board. And you know what, he will keep digging in :lol..
