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

[BatManu20]

Things are heating up. T-minus 8 hours til Free Agency officially begins.

[dbreiden83080]

it was mostley because of Kawhi, but he come to conclusion that he was mistreat with how Pop and FO handle the team not carring enough of winning, i don't want to get into detail of all their poor functioning, but it was very bad front office wise and also coaching wise, since 2014 the team being so underachiever with so miss oportonities to win more, i'm feeling kawhi cause he gave his all!

How the hell is the team supposed to win at a high level when Leonard, their best player sits out the season? And the job of the player is to play. Not be a whiny bitch about an injury and sit it out. They paid him 19 mil to sit it out. If he was faking are you cool with him collecting 19 mil to sit on his ass? Disgraceful.

Future home of Deng? Wonder what’s PHX price though, and ignore its Ball whether they send back something decentish that could entice Spurs like, say, Bender (Josh Smith would be awesome be unlikely).

Then it’s Ingram, Kuzma, Bender and a 1st Rounder for Leonard.

[spurs1990]

If James signing with LA is 100% incumbent on acquiring Leonard first, then you absolutely do not participate in making that happen if you're San Antonio FO.

But... If James already signs with them in the next week, you at least listen to LA offers and only make a trade that is unbelievably hard to pass up.

Otherwise sit back and operate your off season plans as if Leonard will be on the roster for at most one year. Any future offers with merit will be considered between then and February, with only LA being treated as a last resort.

Don't reward Leonard and don't assist in an LA superteam. Only two tenets I'm hoping the FO abides by.

[marinoman]

Lebron to LA, kawhi holding spurs hostage...Worst offseason ever,

[picnroll]

Bender sucks. God please no.

[RsxPiimp]

Lakers making room.


1013149226220572673

cant connect the dots yet but they also guaranteed zubac which makes zero sense unless he’s being packaged for another trade

[BatManu20]

With Lebron to LA almost a certainty now, and his plane landing in LA a few minutes ago, I wouldn’t be surprised if he signs on the dotted line tomorrow. Getting this over with quickly, like he said he would, so that the Lakers can start making other moves.

Spurs lose a little bit of leverage as soon as Lebron signs on the dotted line. Not all of it, but some.

[BatManu20]

Yea I’m almost certain he’s being traded in a package. Something is clearly brewing behind closed doors.

[BatManu20]

Bender sucks. God please no.

Agreed. He’s only 20, But I don’t want another soft jump shooting euro big man.

Goddamn, dude packs more stuff than my wife. Is he visiting or is he already moving there?

He is travelling with his wife only (my guess it's a business trip). And yes, he lives there during the summer. I hope he lives there year round. :D

The pic he was referencing is in Van Nuys, California. Not too far from LA. It's known that he has two LA homes already.

Pop went ballistic when Pau Gasol was traded to the Lakers. If he bends over for Magic I’m done with the Spurs and the NBA.

They lose leverage, perhaps, but they always hold leverage over Kawhi's future earnings. Something that should be treated like a fucking golden goose.

That was the clincher in 2014 when we saw those photos outside his Miami home of his cars being transported. Not sure we should believe this one though, no way to verify that's his shit. Not that anyone would doubt he's going to the Lakers right now.

There is nothing snake like with what Kawhi is doing.

He is not happy in San Antonio. He made that Clear.

So now he wants to play for LA because he is from LA.

People do that stuff

Kobe's era is over, just like Magic's and Kareem's and West's. Lakers fans will jump on the nuts of the next big star and never look back.

Lebron would instantly become the most loved guy in LA as soon as he put on a Lakers jersey.

:lol Kobe's era? Role players don't have eras.

You're understimating how insane Kobe's stans are, though. When that Lakers team loses to the Warriors every year, the narrative will 100% be that LeBron isn't better than Kobe because Kobe won rings for the Lakers and LeBron hasn't. Yet another reason why joining the Lakers would be a stupid move by LeBron and would not help his legacy like he thinks it would.

[apalisoc_9]

Cruel?

Pop treated leonard like a robot. Someone who he can bench whemever he wants just to shows its his coaching that wins the games. They went 62 to 47 without him.

Pop is the problem here.

I think the problem is that he played games and dragged the franchise name in the mud. If he just said he likes LA and wants to live there and play there, then more power to him. But by claiming the Spurs are no fun, their doctors are incompetent, degrading the organization, and apparently faking or exaggerating an injury to not play, he gets a black eye in how he played.

If he left like Gordon Hayward, then more power to him because he earned the right to be a free agent. But that's now what happened here.

[BatManu20]

LeBron will instantly be the Greatest player to ever wear the purple and gold, which is weird to think about. But it’s not even arguable. He’s not the greatest Laker ever, but he’s the greatest player ever to be a Laker. That’s a fact.

[ducks]

Yep he needs to go to the Clippers and be coached by Doc Rivers. Lord knows that motherfucker has proven to be a genius over the years, and his players just love him. Or Luke Walton, A man with about 10 minutes HC experience who Lavar Ball tried to run out of town last season. Both options better than Pop. Yep easy choice..

[ducks]

No he is not
He has not even scored on point or got an assist as a laker

[spurs1990]

Pop went ballistic when Pau Gasol was traded to the Lakers. If he bends over for Magic I’m done with the Spurs and the NBA.

I wouldn't even consider that truthfully. He still remembers the '00s battles. I will gaurantee popovich doesn't trade a healthy Leonard to LA without acquiring a ton of assets in return. Ingram, Kuzma, and Ball (Aka 1st round pick) at minimum would all be headed here in any trade. LA will be stripped bare before San Antonio sends them a top ten player, fully developed by the organization.

[bpday31]

Getting Lebron on the back end is like "Bug Fucking deal". Lakers should be worried about the next 15 years. Not the next 2. This shit with Lebron, is idiotic. It is not 2010 anymore..

Normally this would piss me off but not now with Kawhi destroying the Spurs. It will be a long time before the Spurs are a contender so I could careless about what the Warriors do from this point forward. I will say I'm not shocked the Warriors are in the running for these guys since I expected them to be able to easily get a bunch of ring chasing whores.

[objective]

Kawhi ran away to New York and wanted his teammates to have his back?

Did he want everyone to quit and go with him?

Maybe a slumber party in the Big Apple?

TBH, Jerry West.

I hope West can pull something off and get Kawhi and give the Spurs a nice trade.

Kawhi vs Lebron the battle for LA, come on ESPN will have a field day.

[TD 21]

:lmao At the media attempting to spin James' opting out (when he was always going to do so) as the Spurs losing leverage, as well as Lowe acting as if James would be fine going to the Lakers solo.

Going into his 16th season, turning age 34 during it, with mileage closer to a 40 year old, somehow I don't think he's okay with essentially throwing a year in the garbage (especially considering he wasn't in '14-'15 or '17-18), while babysitting the Lakers overrated, immature kids and risking Leonard cozying up to the 76ers and re-signing . . . or worse, the Spurs not trading him and getting him signed to the super max.

Even if George re-signs on a 1+1 deal and comes next off season, he's not enough.

He is a pathetic baby. That shit he pulled will not play with any team in the league. When the team says you are healthy, you are expected to get back out there. When you refuse to play, there is going to be friction. The longer is drags out the worse the friction will be. Add in that the Spurs are the best team with managing minutes, and injuries and Leonard is simply a clown. His career is never going to be like it was IMO. We have seen the best of him..

I would like to see the Spurs go Machiavellian on Kawhi and not trade him. Keep him for all of next year. I know some will say the Spurs reputation will get dragged down even more but I disagree. I think the Spurs reputation has already been destroyed. You might as well now destroy Kawhi's reputation along with making his life a living hell for his final year with the Spurs.

I knew it was in the bag when he did that interview with Rachel Nichols right before the Finals complaining about how he would have never traded Irving.

[objective]

Why would Kawhi trust the LA medical staff? They messed up Lonzo's knee.

Remember, out of the hundreds of NBA players who have gone to Europe for exhibition or to have a career, Kawhi is the only one to end up with a raging, never before seen mutant eye infection that didn't clear up for months. Didn't have a problem with Spurs doctors then, did he?

Exactly what was he doing in Germany to get that infection? What did he bury his face in?

Give him 12 months of Magic Hollywood House parties and he might end up looking like Brundlefly.

[cjw]

Kyrie threatened to have season-ending surgery if the Cavs didn't trade him. This was swept under the rug in favor of blaming LeBron for "running him out of town."

Durbeta is one of the most media-protected superstars this sport has ever seen. There's nothing he could do that would make the media criticize him for more than a day or two at the most.

Kyrie DID have season ending surgery this year. But Kyrie also came out directly and said it, and tore the bandaid off. All after the season.

Durant played the season out before making the biggest bitch move ever. Kawhi couldn’t even do that

The only good thing that could come out of LeBron going to LA is tarnishing Kobe’s legacy and pushing him down to the fifth best Laker of all time (sixth best player to suit up for Lakers as Wilt wasn’t as good anymore at that point). But that would involve the Lakers winning titles which is painful. Though that would prevent the Warriors from winning them.

Lebron has a summer home in LA. Nothing new here.

Still hoping Pop and R.C. will just entertain whatever offers are made and if they don't work make Kawhi prove his worth on the floor. If he sits, his career will be over.

This isn’t midget Isaiah Thomas who went from a max contract discussion to a MLE at best. Don’t doubt that even if he were to sit out all of next year he would get a max deal for at least 2-3 guaranteed years

[dbestpro]

The Warriors have culture so that wouldn't happen.

Culture - the cultivation of bacteria in an artificial environment.

Yes but high school is the entire year except for summer. He’s talked repeatedly about not wanting to be apart from his family any more than he has to. This is a done deal.

Philly has some nice burbs to live in, and the city is pretty solid compared to about 20 other NBA cities (SA included).

Oh, and a copter could have LeBron in NYC in under an hour. As close as Austin and SA.

Think his his wife is calling the shots just as much as he is. His family reportedly loves LA, they already have 2 homes there and live there in the offseason, etc. And wherever he goes, he wants to be there for the rest of his career since his kids are about to enter high school. His wife reportedly doesn’t like the city of Philadelphia.

I thought the Clippers might make sense for that reason. they've accomplish nothing and he gets to be in LA still. If he got guys to play with him there, who knows. They could have a banner of their own maybe.

Does anyone else remember how both PG13 and LeGOAT were two guys Kawhitter always talked to and acknowledged after match-ups? I'm not even sure I saw him do that for former teammates that he was supposedly close to (like Simmons or Deadmon). I hope there hasn't been some sort of pact in the works for this bullshit.

[BatManu20]

Windhorst on ESPN right now. Said he’s hearing from sources that Lebron is leaning heavily towards signing with LA. Said he’s meeting with Magic and Pelinka over the next 24-48 hours to sell him on playing in LA.

If LBJ comes and PG13 does not, I think it puts the Spurs PATFO in a jam. If Kiwi could be had by any other team than LA (his preferred destination), Boston would have poached him by now. My guess is RC doesn't like the deals he's being presented with. :)

Lakers will sign some vets this year on 1-year deals, and preserve their cap space for a max player. Kiwi will certainly want to join then.

Remember, RC will get bent over if he waits and tries to trade Kiwi at the deadline. Everybody and they mamma will offer yall scraps for your franchise player. The alternative? He buys a 1-way ticket to LAX next summer, only to return in a Laker uni. :lol

The Spurs are smart to wait out the initial free agency open and see how it plays out with LeBron and PG13. They'll have a better sense of the market in a couple weeks and still give wheover is willing to trade for Kawhi at least a full year of value.

[MannyIsGod]

PG signing with OKC isn't going to strengthen the Lakers. A lot changes over a year. Remember when PG was going to sign with the Lakers when he became a free agent? Him not doing so after a pretty damn similar situation to Kawhi is somehow supposed to make Magic feel better? Isn't dude going to resign if they don't get 2 Max players this summer? It takes some mental fucking gymnastics to think that PG staying in OKC makes the Laker position stronger.

God if they do that and stretch Deng it would mean the max offer they'd be able to make Kawhi next summer would be 4 years, $76 million. If they signed James + CP3 and just salary dumped Deng their max offer could be 4 year, $108 million next summer (as opposed to 4 years, $139 million from other teams w/o Bird Rights or 5 year, $179 million with Bird Rights from whatever team the Spurs trade him to). Either way, signing James + CP3 would likely kill Leonard to LA next summer.

Interesting, thanks for that. So in essence CP3 going there would be a good thing for the Spurs in terms of the market price for Kawhi if LA is out of the running.. I just can’t see LeBron signing in LA without some sort of assurance of a second star THIS year.. that won’t be Kawhi if the Spurs don’t trade with LA..

RC and Pop surely must see this.

[cd98]

Like that means a damn thing...

Well we all know Magic likes to play by the rules.

[CGD]

I kinda think the negotiation right now is not SAS v LAL, but SAS v Leonard.

If I’m spurs I let this drag out and tell Leonard that they want to accommodate his trade but that surely he understands that it’s reasonable for them to also want to get the best deal possible. That might be until December. Then you tell him that if he really wants to be off the team by the start of camp, he should rethink other places you might be interested in signing long term.

If Leonard what’s to sit out again, then that’s a big risk to him. It’s one thing if he played all year last season, but he didnt. Teams, even the Lakers, want to see some proof of life before signing him long term.

Goal for spurs is to really open up the feild of possible suitors in a meaningful way.

[baseline bum]

It all depends on how badly Kawhi wants out. But Kawhi personally is much richer getting traded than signing as a free agent. I’m sure that’s why PG re-signs with Thunder.

Agreed, there is down side for Leonard in waiting until free agency. No max raises each year of new deal, and continued doubts about his health if he doesn’t play. On the flip sidebar if he stays and plays well enough to get on an all-team, Spurs might still have the super max next summer.

Again, this is why I put the squeeze on Leonard a little more at this point.

[Chillen]

Wow LeBron might be joining the Lakers. Everytime he looks over his shoulder the shadow of Kobe is gonna be following him lmfao.

[cd98]

The Clippers are still in LA.

True and they are more under the radar than Lakers, which fits his personality. But if he can’t join a super team and wants out of San Antonio, he needs a trade to make up ground he loses in missing the Super Max. Signing as a free agent means losing $$$.

It would hinder Kawhi’s chances of getting a Max deal there next summer obviously. But I think LeBron will not be too pleased if PG remains in OKC and the Lakers do not trade for Kawhi.

I think LeBron is signing there regardless, but just LeBron with all those college kids on LA’s roster is going to be a second round exit in the West. Lebron knows he needs more help than that. And he’ll be almost 35 going into next season. I doubt he wants to waste a year all because the Lakers have high hopes for next summer.

[RD2191]

Wait, don’t we want PG to sign in LA?

I thought so. If only LBJ signs with LA that leaves a max slot open for Kawhi in free agency next season doesn't it??

[MannyIsGod]

Well, my weak team SWEPT yours. What does that say about the Spurs? :downspin:

See, you could have gone with something along the lines of my team is about to become your team but instead you went with this. Congrats on your regular season sweep. Certainly shows that the Lakers were so much better than the Spurs last year.

[LkrFan]

Bro you're about to rape us with a trade and you're sitting here using regular season sweeps as shit talking fodder. Man, y'all forgot how to talk shit because you've been shit for too long.

:lol

Nah, Kiwi ain't coming to LA. As much as I'd love to talk shit about poaching him, we would have to give up too much for Pop to pull the trigger. And you know this maaaaaan! :lol

[MannyIsGod]

If ya'll are hoping for the Lakers to sign PG so they can't sign Kawhi next year ya'll are looking at this wrong. Kawhi is never going to be a Spur again. Ya'll should just come to terms with it.

[NASpurs]

It would hinder Kawhi’s chances of getting a Max deal there next summer obviously. But I think LeBron will not be too pleased if PG remains in OKC and the Lakers do not treat for chances of getting a Max deal there next summer obviously. But I think LeBron will not be too pleased if TGF remains in OKC and the Lakers do not trade for for Kawhi.

I think LeBron is signing there regardless, but just LeBron with all those college kids on LA’s roster is going to be a second round exit in the West. Lebron knows he needs more help than that.

Yeah that's one way to look at it, plus it wastes one year of Lebron's career by trying to carry those bums they're trying to trade to us.

Or if PG13 does head to LA, it'll rape their cap situation and Kawhi in the process. I'm fine with whatever.

[BatManu20]

If PG signs a 2-year deal in OKC (1+1), He could still opt out after next season and then sign in with the Lakers if he wants. He will demand a max contract though. With LeBron on board, the Lakers would have to decide between maxing out Kawhi or PG. I seriously doubt both would take significant paycuts to join LA together. It’s a really interesting situation going on in La La Land.

[MannyIsGod]

:lol

Magic's about to get desperate so he'll give up what he has to. It won't be too much though as the trade will still be lopsided AF in your favor. But it is what it is. My only hope is that Kawhi's quads explode next year.

[baseline bum]

:lol

WTF do the Lakers have to give up? That roster is shit.

[BatManu20]

If PG signs a 2-year deal in OKC (1+1), which seems likely, He could still opt out after next season and then sign with the Lakers if he wanted to. He will demand a max contract though.

Outside of LMA and Kiwi, what do the Spurs have of significance?

[TekXX]

What's your point, Lakers want Kawhi?

[baseline bum]

Outside of LMA and Kiwi, what do the Spurs have of significance?

Fucking no one, which is why they can't afford to take the Lakers' dogshit in trade.

[duncan2150]

Wait, don’t we want PG to sign in LA?

if pg stays in OKC it’s better for us, because he’s one of the Best player the Lakers could have. So i think they will be more in rush and focus To have kawhi.

[LkrFan]

Fucking no one, which is why they can't afford to take the Lakers' dogshit in trade.

Dayum. Calm down Holmes :lol

[BackHome]

If I am the Spurs I am telling him we straight up not trading him to the Flakers. So pick a few teams and if you agree to sign with them and they offer us a good trade will pack your bags. If you don’t like that we’ll see you next season in SA.

I went with K-Y it just seems more appropriate at this point in time. Lol

If he spurns the Lakers now, he won't ever don the P&G as a player. Just like D12 ain't welcome no mo :lmao

[look_at_g_shred]

Are we not sure that if LeBron ends up the only star in LA, that he demand the Lakers make a trade before the deadline anyway? We’ve seen this movie before.

[Mugen]

You'd be bag to begging next July, you simple fuck :lol

Lebron playing GM and demanding big contracts for his boys is what really hurt the Cavs. The Lakers may see the same thing if they don't get their super players in the beginning.

I doubt PG will sign a contract that only has two years in it. Not enough security.

[TekXX]

Are the Lakers pretty much asking Lebron tonight whether they give what the Spurs want or hold out?

[ducks]

I see 4 year with player option after year 2

[offset formation]

Haha. Let's see what your roster looks like in 2 years. You fools will likely be a Bron injury away from the lottery, chief. And he might not even want to go back home for even $40M/year by then.
