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

[marinoman]

Clipper Nation did call this

1013486806095089664

[offset formation]

:lol Daily reminder of fuck Kawhi and Uncle Dennis.

Just based on the 1st day of Free Agency, Spurs would firmly be top 1-2 in the West with a realistic shot of a title next couple of seasons and this fucking idiot would be getting max money.

Yep, and in addition to fucking Spur, he royally fucked himself, too. Even worse.

[spurschamps99030507]

Sixers need a star and they know it. They ain't winning shit without LBJ and Kawhi. Their "core" will never be good enough to win it all. Simmons for Kawhi or gtfo.


+1

[Harry Callahan]

Clipper Nation did call this

1013486806095089664

LBJ doesn't want to catch the AID at dinner.

[BillMc]

Simmons for Kawhi or gtfo.

Amen.

Would rather have Kawhi play his final year (and have a remote shot at a title) then get cap space rather than take filler. Simmons, Tatum or bust. Don't need scrub bodies to clog up the team.

[cd021]

Cdo21 apparently you didn't get the memo!! Live18 is waaaaaaay better than 2k18. An that's coming from a 2k fan.

^ Agreed with BillMc. Wouldn't everyone like to know if KL can still play All-NBA level basketball? I would not take the word of "the Group". Their words are worth nothing right now. Show what is the players CURRENT ability actually is.

[LkrFan]

:lmao You started a thread downstairs bragging about the "LAvengers," but now you're saying it's not a good time to be a contender? SMH, Carlos.

:lmao from LAVengers to I like our young core.

Will your brain explode if LeBron decides to sign with LA? I don't know if it could take that much flip flopping, Luiz

Here's essence of Paul George's 4-year, $137M deal, w/ player option: New CBA allows George to extend after 2nd anniversary of deal. Extending on max w/ OKC after year 2, while also opting out of final year, could make this 7-year, $290M-plus deal based on future cap projections.

[offset formation]

1013507898662678528

Sounds like Magic thinks his youngins will take him to the promised land...and/or Kawhi and his group have so damaged their credibility with the health issue, nobody is willing to go balls in.

Either way, Idgaf. PATFO, aka Rod "this fuckin golden thing" Blagojevich, is playing everyone like a fiddle.

Sure sounds like it. Highly doubt they'd waive the exact player they need to waive in order to be able to afford LeBron if they're not 100% sure he's signing with them.

[BatManu20]

Get it done RC.

if they had Bridges, I would have settled for him with Fultz, 2021 Miami pick, fillers

Because LeBron wants him.

[Joseph Kony]

if spurs do trade with Philly i'm sure they will include Fultz and im guessing spurs would send either Mills or Green back, probably Mills. so we'd probably be looking at:

Murray/Fultz/Parker?
White/Belinelli/Walker
Covington/Green/Manu?
Gay/Saric/Bertans?
Aldridge/Gasol

not terrible honestly. would still win 50 games and be 4th seed barring health problems.

[Jules_Winnfield]

if they had Bridges, I would have settled for him with Fultz, 2021 Miami pick, fillers


didn't they acquire that Miami pick with Bridges?

[RD2191]

:lol kawhi being a top 4 player

He's top 5 at the very least

[Russ]

It would be wonderful if LeBron signed with Philly.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I still think . . . Lakers.

But I thought there was no way Russia could beat Spain the World Cup.

[Marcus Bryant]

lol faggots who think lebron isn't already a laker and would sign with shit hole phila :lmao

:lol faggot a couple hours behind

[Spurs9]

Even if Kawhi left, wouldn’t Philly make the trade if it mean LeBron signed? It’s laughable Philly would have a hardline giving up Fultz or whoever if it nets them Kawhi and LeBron.

[Play Boban]

[Marcus Bryant]

Im not bumping your shit, faggot.

[BillMc]

Hope Kawhi has the same bowling technique as Bynum

[AFBlue]

The question is whether LeBron wants LA without Kawhi, because I just don't see Kawhi-to-LA happening. He'd have to be okay playing alongside Boogie or Capela. And that ain't winning you shit out West.

Gotta think Philly is a STRONG contender at this point.

[dabom]

LeBron, Simmons, Kawhi and Embiid

Spurs will have so many young players Pop will have to run actual practices, not just walk throughs and tape sessions.

Did Denver get a meeting with James ?

[SuperCam]

You've have to be legit fucking retarded to think that Jaylen Brown or Fultz would be off the table even if it's for a 1 year rental of Kawhi fucking Leonard :lol

ainge will do brown and a pick but only retard spur fan think tatum is available :lol

Danny Ainge swoops in and finally offers Tatum, Brown, the Kings Pick, and Morris.

[BillMc]

Trade him so I can go to bed. Damn it, RC!!

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

With PG13 staying in OKC, I'm feeling the Lebron to Philly move is much more plausible...and a KL trade with SA. If Lebron goes there on a 1 year deal, Philly would gamble on Kawhi's 1 year contract for a good chance at the title and a guaranteed finals appearance, and probably give the Spurs more talent in exchange than most teams can give. They've still got lots of young talent to go back to if Lebron and Kawhi were to bolt after next season.

[spursistan]

How much PG13 staying in OKC has blindsided both Magic and Lebron camp?

Feels like shit should have been done by now..

Or was LeBron's team meeting with Philly mere respect?

It's a Godfather movie.

Everyone trashing on LA's young assets. Add Lebron and any other complimenting big free agent and they are easily head to head with Rockets and above Spurs. It might take a year but with a little more experience that roster could do damage.

I see him doing it. He's gonna be the leader of a young, long, athletic team, in the biggest possible market for him. The media marketing gurus already setting it up. He's going to be the new face of LA and push his business and political aspirations out of the stratosphere. Normal fans will eat it up and Lebron will have successfully navigated into the biggest business, entrepreneur, and philanthropist role after basketball he could possibly be in. Not everything revolves around basketball. He's thinking of the possible billions he can make at LA. Not to mention true bball fans see LA players actually have potential. Spurstalk posters are sometimes very irrational.

Also to note that the media was pushing stronger than ever to promote Lebron's legacy as the GOAT more than any previous year by a wide margin. Strategy was probably to set up a move to LA with no pressure of winning anymore. ESPN has been promoting it. I think it's a done deal.

[pad300]

Understand the game theory trade offs. If Lebron is willing to go to PHI

1) PHI (current) < BOS (Current) < PHI (current) + Lebron

BOS must make a move or be locked into 2nd in the east for the forseeable future. PHI may need to get KL to get Lebron. Both teams will put packages on the table.

2) PHI (+Lebron + KL - Fulz - filler ) >>> BOS (Current)

BOS must top a package of Fulz + filler (picks,saric, covington, prospects). Boston must put at least Brown + SAC pick + MEM pick on the table

3) BOS (+ KL - Brown) ?=? PHI (+ Lebron)

However, this circles back to 2 if PHI gets KL. PHI might be comfortable with this, thinking Lebron is top trump.

but

4) PHI ( +KL + Lebron - Simmons - Filler + SAS roleplayers + SAS 2019 pick ) >> BOS Current.

PHI can top any offer from BOS by putting up Simmons. (Except maybe a godfather offer: Tatum + Brown + SAC pick + MEM pick?)

5) BOS (+ KL - Brown - Tatum) ?=? PHI (+ Lebron )

Does Ainge believe 5) or does he believe BOS (+ KL - Brown - Tatum) < PHI (+ Lebron )

Brons got swept with experienced Cavs whose been there 4 times. Do you think he can do better with inexperienced 2-3 yrs players without Kawhi. Re LA as business site, MJ is a mogul billionaire but I don’t remember him a Laker. Bron can do the same in Philly while picking up 2-3 rings on top. imo

Ainge can't. The repeater will also kill Boston: He's got Brown and Tatum on the cheap now... But he's also got Rozier - who's going to want money to stay. And Kyrie. And Hayward. And Horford... Philly has to pay less parts (Embiid, Simmons, and Lebron in this scenario) than Boston does.

Boston has some significant problems coming up with too many players and large contracted for his older guys. Golden handcuffs problem, but still there. Kyrie is probably give, leaving them with no secure scorer. They seem content to believe the young guys will become stars, but they may not be instant. You simply cannot play and pay this many dudes.

scrubs like rozier aren't part of the thinking here. :lol and probably not mediocre white-american players like hayward tbh. not to mention they will be coming off their deals and horford too before tatum and brown max even kicks in, tbh.

ainge isn't going to be intimidated in trading a future superstar with 3 more rook years because 34 year old lebron might team up with cripples in kiwi and embiid :lol

[TD 21]

The '21 Heat pick isn't as valuable as it's being portrayed (I know it's likely to be the first year where high-schoolers are draft eligible since '05). The Heat's long term outlook doesn't look good, but they've always been philosophically opposed to re-building and 3 years is too far off to have a much of a sense of where it's likely to land.

There's a good chance Fultz has more upside than the player that pick ultimately becomes will. I know the 76ers probably feel they can't give up all 3 of Covington, Saric, Fultz, so I'd throw in Green (and try to squeeze them for something minor, like Luwawu-Cabarrot or a 2nd). Not only probably the closest thing to a Leonard confidante in the league, but he makes sense for them going forward.

Unless they're confident in Fultz developing into the 3rd star they need, they should take the risk.

Makes sense for Spurs, too. Not just to not appease Leonard and screw the Lakers, but either Fultz becomes the needed star or he's a bust, in which case they'll suck and pick high enough to have decent odds of finding another one(s).

[Mr. Body]

That Miami pick looks excellent. First chance the Spurs have at high lottery in over two decades.

[Ditty]

Calling it. Don’t know how salaries work. Kawhi and Patty for Simmons, Smith, Covington(3rd team possibly taking him on) and Miami’s 2021 first rounder and rights to Bolden. Kawhi reups. Philly gets Bron.

Wonder if Lebron wants to play for the Lakers and their kiddie core and take all the heat from the press and a lot of the Lakers’s fans when they’re a first round fail.

[BatManu20]

That Miami pick looks excellent. First chance the Spurs have at high lottery in over two decades.

Wouldn’t be so sure. Miami has a lot of cap space in 2020 and that city is a desirable destination. Could be lottery, but could be high teens-early 20’s too.

[TD 21]

Wouldn’t be so sure. Miami has a lot of cap space in 2020 and that city is a desirable destination. Could be lottery, but could be high teens-early 20’s too.

Like I said, way too much uncertainty 3 years out and realistically they'd be hoping to get a player with the upside of Fultz.

I'm not interested in waiting that long for the hope of that when it can be had now.

You could argue swapping Saric out for the pick, but he offers the best combination of ceiling/floor in the package and is probably the player Spurs would covet most from them (in terms of realistic options) as a long term building block.

[sasaint]

Wouldn’t be so sure. Miami has a lot of cap space in 2020 and that city is a desirable destination. Could be lottery, but could be high teens-early 20’s too.

Thanks for bringing a little realism to evaluating that Miami pick. It ain't nothing I would bank on.

[024]

I don't understand the rationale for Sixers not wanting to trade Fultz and the Lakers not wanting to trade Ingram :lol You're not only getting a top 5 player and 2x DPOY in return, you're also getting the increased possibility of getting LeBron.

The Cavs traded Wiggins for Love with no hesitation and Wiggins at the time was freshly drafted and didn't tank his value yet like Fultz did this year or Ingram last year. Not to mention Leonard is twice the player Love is. These teams better trade these players before they're revealed to be frauds like Wiggins.

[cjw]

denver with james could be as good as philly
philly get leonard depends on what they give up might be better

How on earth does Denver fit James with his current mess of a cap situation? Understand Jokic counts at a lower cap number until officially signed, but still would be over the cap. At most they’d have <$10mm of room by renouncing Devin Harris.

[Dverde]

How is Covington’s defense? I saw he got some defensive awards in the d-League. The Covington/Gay At 3 And LMA/Pau/Saric At 4/5 isn’t bad on paper. Solid playoff team.

[SpursDynasty85]

If I had to guess what is happening. Lebron nixed any trade ideas to LA involving selling the farm for Kawhi. He would rather have the team as "Lebron and the Lakerettes". Kawhi bears this from the Lakers and now with the fear of having to rot on the bench for the spurs during the year he is now leaking he would consider signing with the Sixers to finally get a trade. He would be the low key star there too with Embiid getting all the attention.

Best, logical, Kawhi trades:

-Lakers: Ingram, Kuzma, Ball, Randle, draft pick (It's probably the only type of package that could get PATFO to trade Kawhi to LA).

-Celtics: Irving, draft pick.

-Sixers: Fultz, Covington, Z.Smith, draft pick.

More or less, those are the teams and packages that the Spurs could get for Kawhi. I doubt any other team or players are in play.

So, which one do you like most?

If the Spurs could somehow get Irving and Brown from the Celtics, that would be the one I'd like the most, but I doubt that's a possibility.

[BatManu20]

Jabari’s literally just tweeting every possible scenario, that way when something actually does happen, he can say, “As I previously reported...”

[Chillen]

For LeBron what is the point of signing with the Lakers at this point other than for the LA lifestyle and his family. I don't see the Lakers with just LeBron and possibly Cousins beating Warriors, Rockets or even Spurs in a 7 game series. If it's about winning it's not going to happen there it will be an even worse mess than Cavs.

[dabom]

A team that lost to the Celtics, that lost to the Cavs. Adding Lebron by himself would be dumb. He needs Kawhi on that team.

The Spurs shouldn't get anything less than simmons. And even then, I'd rather keep Kawhi.

[NASpurs]

It's being reported again.


Another option would be to waive Bayless and stretch his salary over three years. This move would allow the Sixers to immediately free up money, something they would need to do to be able to sign free-agent target LeBron James (http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/sixers/lebron-james-sixers-meeting-nba-free-agency-76ers-los-angeles-cap-space-20180701.html) to a maximum salary of $35.63 million this coming season.

Right now, the Sixers have a practical salary-cap space of $31.3 million. That figure does not include the first-year salaries of the unsigned contracts of first-round picks Zhaire Smith ($2.59 million) and Landry Shamet ($1.69 million).

The Sixers are looking for ways to fit James under the cap, and dumping salaries is a start. Bayless averaged 7.9 points on 41.6 percent shooting while playing 39 games this season.

Wasn’t this reported after the 76ers meeting? Sounds like they feel they have a shot at Lebron, they are probably ironing out the Kawhi trade imo. Lebrons group probably told them what they need to do for him to sign. Brown is acting as GM right now too. A 76er team constructed like that can break up that Warrior team if they face and Klay/Draymond end up moving on.

[SpursBills]

Yeah if all philly needs to offer is saric, covington, and 2 low 1st rounders plus the miami pick, you do that in a second for Kawhi. You've basically got at least a 50% chance of having Kawhi long term and a 25% chance of having Lebron in addition. The fact that they're not willing to offer that for Kawhi shows how dumb their front office is.
