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

[Mugen]

Does anyone think there is any hope of Kawhi taking the $219 Million and staying?

If offered the 219 mil? That nigga would be chest bumping the Coyote by opening night.

The chances of Pop and RC offering the 219 after all this shit that him and Uncle Dennis have pulled. Fuck no.

[RD2191]

Does anyone think there is any hope of Kawhi taking the $219 Million and staying?

I wish bruh :depressed

[NASpurs]

Espn just said Philadelphia is saying embiid, simmons and fultz are off limits. Seriously? Fuck that

Click, dial tone from the Spurs.

"Hey Celtics, you hear about the Sixers wanting KL and getting Lebron, let's talk"

[John B]

If Bron chooses LA, he’ll be playing with Cousins and wait for KL next year tbh. You think he’ll wait? But would they have cap space?

[-21-]

I don't think there is any way he chooses any city but LA. Lebron seems like a true family man. No way he wants to be away from his kid for 9 months a year.

That's what I've been thinking for a while now. LeBron to LA. Would be shocked otherwise.

[John B]

Fuck that’s Kobe/Shaq all over again plus Pippen :bang

Espn just said Philadelphia is saying embiid, simmons and fultz are off limits. Seriously? Fuck that

Realistically, they're not trading Simmons. Especially when they can still easily make a better offer than the Lakers can without including him in the deal.

[BackHome]

Yeah I understand u don’t give up on a number one pick we’ll unless he is a mental case who can’t shooot and then only trade for a top five player. Lol

I really don't get LeBron considering LA. I mean I'm pretty sure he's after the good/best for his legacy but currently, LA is not the team that will give him a chance to win another one. Not to mention that he will be blamed if he can't give LA a championship quickly because with those delusional fans and he'll be compared again to Kobe or Magic and will be criticized.

PHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLY

1013470225084370946

If it’s not a year rental then Simmons then to get both Bron and Kawhi. Go coach Brett!

[Ice009]

Man, I still don't want to trade Kawhi. I love his game. I'm defense first. I don't care how good someone is on offense, as a two-way DPOY level player gets me way more excited that someone scoring 30pts and being a mediocre defender. The main reason I was also satisfied with Aldridge's comeback last season is because he also played defense. I just don't care for offense only players at all.

[objective]

I really don't understand the Saric/Covington fever so many here have

If Kawhi can be had for that little plus a draft pick 3 years from now, that's a fail

At least soak em for extra multiple firsts and fultz to a 3rd team for picks and Zhaire. Don't give it up cheap.

[lmbebo]

I think Fultz talk is more about driving up his cost/value

[John B]

Coach Brett you be the coach that brought Championship to Philly since 35 yrs ago. Better Philly than GSW or Fakers. Then Spurs could be there in 2-3 with Simmons. Let’s go Coach Brett! Or if shits hit the fan, this whole thing could get you fired

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

So at 11:12am, Lebron has already made his decision. At 11:14am, Philadelphia is meeting with Lebron's reps today in LA. Seems like a pretty futile meeting if Lebron has already decided.

Who's to say that he hasn't already decided on Philly and is meeting with them to hash out details?

This. If I'm San Antonio and I'm considering trading Kawhi to Philly then I'm asking for Smith, the pick from Miami, Sairic, Covington, and Fultz. Philly will say no, but you're letting them know you ain't messing around. They are essentially trying to get two top five players with this trade.

Two top 3 players if Kawhi is 100% healthy at this stage like his camp leaked.

[MoSpur02]

Kawhi needs to stay. Spurs need to get rid of Mills, Pau, and Green and go after LeBron

[MannyIsGod]

https://www.theringer.com/nba/2018/6/26/17505326/sixers-lebron-james-kawhi-leonard




In the deal for Leonard, include Markelle Fultz, Robert Covington, and Jerryd Bayless, then an additional $5.79 million in outgoing salary that could come in different forms.

It’s unclear who the Spurs would want. But Sixers draftee Zhaire Smith, a high-flying 18-year-old wing from Texas Tech, met with the Spurs prior to the draft (https://twitter.com/JeffGSpursZone/status/1009511291495608320), so he could be one player involved. There’s a hint of Leonard in Smith: He’s raw and athletic with lockdown defensive ability, yet also shows flashes of go-to-scoring upside if his jumper improves. If I were the Spurs, I wouldn’t accept a deal unless Smith were in it with the other asset the Sixers acquired in a draft-night trade with the Suns: Miami’s unprotected first-round pick in 2021.

[Mugen]

To be perfectly clear, the Philly package would be 50 cents on the dollar for Kawhi. But it's a hell of a lot better than two fucking nickels in Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma that the Lakers are offering :lol

[offset formation]

Send Kawhi to a Lebron-less, empty Lakers team void of talent (after you pick clean Ingram, etc from them) and he'll be stuck with probably just Boogie Cousins :lmao

Yes, exactly this. Said this yesterday. Would be sweet justice, and just what they requested.

[MannyIsGod]

I'd rather have Smith and the draft pick than Saric honestly

[BatManu20]

For you farmers balking at the idea of trading Kiwi in a Brandon Ingram package:

1013414708525686784

BI still only 20 years old too.


Kawhi was playing a role on a playoff team lead by veterans like Timmy, Tony, and Manu. Ingram was the best player on a really bad team. Get real.


You know damn well Ingram is never going to be anywhere near what Kawhi is :lol

[Hoops Czar]

Who's to say that he hasn't already decided on Philly and is meeting with them to hash out details?
He's not meeting with Philly at all, his reps are. You can't meet someone face to face, you have no intentions of seeing them at all.

You guys can still max cousins and josh hart! Lucky bastards

[Mugen]

Fultz/RoCo/Saric/Miami pick is the baseline tbh. It's up to the Spurs if they want more but I absolutely believe Philly would offer that baseline deal right now no question.

Zaire Smith and an extra pick would be icing.

Even if LeBron ends up signing in LA, i still see Philly offering that baseline deal just to secure the East from Boston.

With Smith I agree that's the deal to do. Would give the Spurs an interesting amount of assets.

LeBron already said before free agency that he's not meeting with any team face-to-face.

[-21-]

They aren't gonna give up Simmons. That's LeBron's boy. Covington, Saric, Miami's 2021 is the base, then you ask for Smith/Fultz/more picks. Spurs would have then Mills/Parker(?)/Walker/White/Murray/Fultz/Smith. That's a logjam, so you can trade the excess for more assets. But before you close in on a deal with Philly you check if the Celtics and Lakers wanna step in and make a desperate offer.

[RD2191]

I'm still Simmons or bust. I could give two fucks about any other Philly player.

[spurschamps99030507]

Simmons is worthless without the ball.

[dabom]

Spurs have the cards, not any other fucking team.

[Vic Petro]

Also if Spurs get Fultz I’m flipping him if there’s a decent offer. He’s strictly an asset to me and a declining one at that. Unless they’re really confident Chip can untwist that pretzel I’d sell before value declines any further

[RD2191]

Make them throw in Smith, then I’d include Danny in that deal if it meant getting it done. Philly needs shooting and defense if they are signing LeBron. Like you said, we are still losing that trade, but that’s by far and away the best package we are likely to get. Fuck trading him to the Lakers

[spurschamps99030507]

Yep. The Spurs would then have way too many guards. You don't have to keep all them. Flip some for more assets.

Fuck these trades. I think if I'm RC I just tell Kawhi he is under contract another year and then offer him the supermax next summer if he qualifies for it. If he doesn't then he probably walks, but if he can't make at least the All-NBA 3rd Team next year to earn that deal then he's not worth keeping anyways.

[Mugen]

Shit, throw in Dejounte too if it gets Simmons back :lol

[spursreport]

The Spurs FO loses all credibility if they deal Kawhi to just make a trade. I honestly can’t believe fans think they’ll do a quick 3 year turnaround like it’s the NFL. Quick rebuilds don’t happen in the NBA. All of these trades suck. It doesn’t matter which one is the best. They all suck, and none of them are worth considering. Offering Kawhi the supermax or just keeping him are the 2 best options for this team. I honestly can’t believe this fanbase is eager for the dark days.

[BackHome]

The thing is once you enter the dance your fans will be expecting you to deliver. So now that Magic and Philly are fighting for Lebron and K-Y they have to deliver it their jobs are on the line. You can’t come away with nothing the fans and the media will never let that shit go.

[Spurs9]

If Philly has the remote chance of getting Lebron if they trade for Kawhi, why would they hesitate trading any piece of that team outside of Simmons/Embiied?

[venitian navigator]

We already have a lot of players under contract...considering Walker and probably Metu will be in the roster and that Green, Gay and Belinelli are already in.
So, no reason to trade for multiple players.
Imho the deal can only be for Simmons plus something else for the contracts to match...considering that with Leonard they will take LBJ (that's the same, but better, player than Simmons).
The point is only the commitment from Leonard to re sign with Philly and from LBJ to sign for multiple years there.
If they have that, then a possible trade could be Simmons and Covington for Leonard and Green (or Mills).

I'd trade for Simmons straight up + picks if the money worked, but I don't see how they would trade him. Maybe if LeBron would be a lock if they got Kawhi they would consider it.

Beli and Mills are the same players basically, it's useless to have 2 of them. Plus too many guards anyway.

The Lakers are playing a dangerous game and it’s one they are playing publicly: There’s a lot of scrutiny and they are, to borrow a phrase from Sixers coach Brett Brown, “star-hunting.” The margin of error is thin.

Yes, the Lakers are still favorites—but not total locks—to sign LeBron James, league sources say. For what it’s worth, some executives believe LeBron’s indecision is all theater, and he has already decided on the Lakers as his new team.

[picnroll]

Philly needs to work out a deal now for a Leonard trade so Lebron people know there’s no getting him this year at a minimum. Spurs run the risk of Lebron signing with LA and losing Philly assets. Both parties need to roll the dice, Philly getting Leonard to stay longer term, his health, whether he’s enough to attract Lebron. Spurs whether Fultz is any good, whether he’s busted. No Fultz no deal unless Spurs are head over heals on Zhaire and the rest of the package.

Oh yeah, those hoping/wanting/requiring Simmons, get ready to be pissed off

in kawhi's second year he battled with lebron in the nba finals in a 7 game series

Espn just said Philadelphia is saying embiid, simmons and fultz are off limits. Seriously? Fuck that

There’s this thing called posturing. If they said Simmons and Embiid are off limits, it means that they’re throwing Fultz in as a starting point. Why would they ever message that?

Only thing I can think of is you’d message a player into a deal to scare off competition OR to force Boston to make a godfather offer.

[RD2191]

Why would that fruity little fuck have any inside sources? :lol

[spursistan]

We are getting lowballed AF. Might as well hold on to the faggot.

I mean it's just plain disrespect at this point when a fuckin' non-entity like Fultz, who is battling his own mental issues, is being taken off the table when discussing a player of Kawhi pedigree or what remains of it..

So Lebron may actually be considering Philly since no PG, and they haven't gotten Kawhi. Maybe hes trying to put more pressure on Magic to do whatever deal the Spurs want with LA for Kawhi? Either way, I think the Kawhi trade is the linchpin for where he goes.

It's two teams for LeBron but, Boston has to be watching closely. They're whole plan is blown up if Philly gets this done.i wouldn't be surprised at all to see there offers start to get stronger. I think Hayward, Brown, and a pick are about to be on the table.

Because he's only signed for one year and there's no guarantee he re-signs next summer. Reports that he would "consider it" mean shit. They're not going to trade Simmons for that. Fultz and others I think they may go all in on if it means they get Lebron, but Simmons is off limits.
