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

[baseline bum]

Come on Jabari, stop it.

You're talking to Uncle Dennis

[exstatic]

Come on Jabari, stop it.

Took the words right off my keypad. :lol

[baseline bum]

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.

Yeah it's over. No way the Spurs can dump $44 million a year into this POS who went AWOL for a year. I'll enjoy watching the Spurs so much more when that black cloud he cast over the franchise is finally gone.

I think that's exactly right from Pop's pov. I think the groupies want to turn it into a negotiation thing. And also make sure the Spurs "accept" them. Status thing.

If she won't even go out with you, why propose? :lol

[Strategic]

If Leonard won’t meet with Pop then there may be 19 million reasons to hear some depositions from the New York doctors?

[baseline bum]

Took the words right off my keypad. :lol

Doubtful, he's a better writer than Jabari.

Kawhi stuff starts 5 minutes in after all the Draymond BS

[MoSpur02]

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.


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...


His uncle is like a father for him, everyone knows it. It's pretty obvious that Kawhi trusts him more than any agent..


He didn't want to play?? Why did he come then? He came back and played 9 games until he felt pain again.

I hope you're on Kawhi's payroll bro.

I'm just saying these two guys here and their "close source to the Spurs" where the same rumors we listened on any SA radio show all year.

Dr.Garret said it was a mental issue, then you had these two posting the same on ST.

Didn't matter if SAS doctors or Kawhi's doctors said otherwise...The same thing with the trade at deadline..They were always wrong

:lmao Stephen A..

1007780575703453696
Good! I hope the media crucifies this bitch.

[Uriel]

Here’s a recap of the past few days:


1. After the Finals, reports came out that the relationship between the Spurs and Kawhi were at the “healing stage” and Pop and Kawhi were going to sit down and have a meeting.
2. The Spurs leaked a report to the media that during the meeting, they expected Kawhi to demonstrate his commitment to the franchise before they would offer him the supermax. The media interpreted this as the Spurs having the upper hand in negotiations.
3. Kawhi’s camp saw this report and got angry. They delayed the meeting with Pop. After that, they leaked to the media that they wanted a trade from the Spurs and that they didn’t care about the supermax anymore.


My take is that #3 was a ploy by Kawhi’s camp to extract the supermax from the Spurs. All indications had been that the relationship was at its healing stage and that Kawhi was ready to sign an extension. But when they saw the report about the Spurs not willing to offer the supermax unless Kawhi proved his loyalty, they got mad and pretended he wanted to be traded to another team to gain leverage in negotiations.


Here’s my prediction: Pop and Kawhi will sit down and finally have that meeting. Kawhi will say he wants to be traded to the Lakers, and Pop will cave and give him the supermax he’s wanted all along. Then Kawhi will sign on the dotted line.

[RD2191]

The funny thing is, I don't know that Kawhi does care about those things. I gather from reading multiple sources, he liked it in SA because it's low key. He's not the type to want the attention.

As funny as that is, it also pisses me off. Kawhi is fucking the Spurs over by making it seem like the city is a dump. That's what the whole media narrative has been all day long. Shit irritates me beyond belief. Yet another reason to send him to a lovely resort like Milwaukee for the winter. Fuck. That. Guy.

[sasaint]

Good thing you're not running the team. I'd trade him for the #2 pick so fast.

Who do you want at 2?

[spursistan]

This is Derrick Rose 2.0 tbh. An illiterate, autistic dumbfuck who probably doesn't even have a basic high school education level of comprehension tbh. I'd be surprised if this idiot isn't broke by the time he's 40 because he's either too stupid or too much of a bitch to think for himself....
:tu

This what actually many here are afraid to say, but deep down, believe a great deal of which is true.

I think the guy has some mental issues. He is in the process of getting puppeted to oblivion by an equally illiterate and leech uncle acting his own delusions of grandeur.

[BatManu20]

Screamin’ A. Smith with the goods. For once.

[sasaint]

Lonzo would be a glorified rental. He would never sign an extension with the Spurs.

PATFO would never trade Kawhi/Uncle Dennis for Circus Ball. Frying pan and fire.

No doubt unc saw dollar signs in this kid early on and latched on. Hell maybe he off’d his pops. It’s not all bad. Let’s get Tatum and Kyrie in here which might bring Lebron. Hmmm???

[DJR210]

Yeah after the trade paper work is signed I'm all for it :tu

You're joking right? Him and Giannis would destroy the Spurs.

More and more teams are going to destroy the Spurs without Kawhi, wherever he goes.

[FkLA]

The more I think about it the more this pisses me off.

Not only does this selfish, ungrateful motherfucker and his unqualified group want to leave but they're trying to assassinate the character of the Spurs organization in the process to save face. The same organization that is considered the model franchise in all sports. The same organization who's executives and coaches get plucked left and right because everyone wants to emulate the "Spurs way". The same organization that invented DNP-rest and sacrificed potential championships instead of playing their injured stars in the playoffs. The same franchise that takes care of their own with loyalty contracts, sometimes even to the detriment of title aspirations.

But yeah the Spurs are the bad guys you fucking autistic fuck. Keep trusting your piece of shit uncle with your millions because he worked at a bank.

[YGWHI]

If true, Spurs going into total rebuild mode. LMA being traded. Pop’s gone. Spurs fading into obscurity.
Agree. Some teams are reluctant to give these deals, most players think the supermax is their right, these contracts become more of a problem than a solution

[superbigtime]

Do whatever it takes to keep kawhi

True, but Karma's a bitch... I believe 100% the Spurs have taken the high road on this and eventually it will be known.. His "group" has not managed this well at all and trying to manipulate the truth to justify your position will eventually be revealed. Good riddance actually

...Porker about to get that 3yr contract:lol

[Kawhitstorm]

You've got Pop and TD up there talking to you, you push Pop and Manu into retirement... a year after LMA signs an extension and plays his ass off, you put your teammates through a shitty year of battling and waiting for you to return......

Enjoy your dirty creek & obese messican wimmen:claw

[urunobili]

Can the Spurs just being him a year? Would they get sued over a aunt like that? It’s the only way to get back at them hard TBH

[superbigtime]

You want the spurs to murder Uncle Dennis?

Haha no. Maybe the kneecap thing. This is just so weird. Don't even know if the dude can even play but it's supermax or nothing. Or maybe he doesn't even care about a max deal, he just wants to be out and in Cali. Reading Kawhis mind is like watching a tv with static in the screen. If dude is ready to go and play, then pay him. Unless there is a helluva offer.

[Kawhitstorm]

What a faggot. Steals $19 million from the team and then thinks they're trading him to LA?

He took a big dump in your mouth, sit in the corner & cry.:wakeup

[sasaint]

I hope PopaGOAT excludes him from Team USA, tbh.

Leonard chose to stay home last time.

[callo1]

Refuse to believe the media hacks. Was not convinced of this with LA last year.

When it comes from Kawhi I will believe it.

Big market journalists trying to stir the pot before the draft. Probably taking orders from Mr. collusion Tragic Johnson.

If however it happens, they will get talent for Kawhi.

[Kawhitstorm]

I'm only trading him for Tatum. If Leonard shoots down a trade to Boston by not extending he can sit his ass in New York for another year.

.....oh, 2 year paid vacation like Jordan:wow:king

[dbestpro]

If they do trade him, they should sue Leonard prorated for all the games he missed after he was declared healthy.

[Kawhitstorm]

The writing was on the wall for a while but I gave him the benefit of the doubt (out of principle) but now? Fuck him. He is a bitch and I don't want him on my team. Trade his ass to a loser.

:lol:lol:lol:lolDJ Mad Alert :lol:lol:lol:lol

[tim_duncan_fan]

Not if Kawhi says he will only extend with the Lakers.

You sound like the one who'd enjoy that. Too bad his injury isn't real, it would have been hilarious to see him end up the next Brandon Roy.

[jmard5]

LoL at those still blaming PATFO for this Kawhi mess. You can't even agree what started all these - misdiagnosed injury, bloated contracts, Tony/Manu, mediocre lineup, Pop's political views, supermax, let us even bring up LMA's touches. Go pat yourselves in the back and pick another team.

All these news coming up, I don't see Kawhi's imprints on them. Looking more like his handlers are doing the scheming.

[BackHome]

As long as he doesn’t go to Flakers I am cool with that.

[cjw]

If we’re tanking, then give Parker and Manu a max deal for a year as an FU to Kawhi. Though don’t think Spurs have Manu’s bird rights

[Budkin]

This. The fact is that Kawhi is just going along with his uncle because he doesn’t have the ability to think for himself.

[Kawhitstorm]

This is actually CIA Pop at his finest

1. Dangle the idea of a supermax and repaired relationship if Kawhi camp can show he's healthy, or play healthy, then get the offer.
2. Kawhi's camp leaks that he's almost 100...96 or 97% to be exact. Lol.
3. Squash his dreams by telling him that they aren't going to offer him the max, in part due to his antics, and in part to better the teams chances of landing Lebron.
4. Now after already acknowledging that he was healthy, he cannot pull an oh, I need surgery load of BS, without letting the whole league know he's a selfish whiner.
5. Own his ass, and expect health, for one more year. Or trade a self-acknowledged healthy player, there by garnering max trade value.

6. Fuckin Pop.

In actuality, he gets traded for for a dime on a dollar b/c of the misdiagnosis & Poop never gets out of the 1st rd thereafter.

[Kawhitstorm]

[Kawhitstorm]

Too bad his injury isn't real, it would have been hilarious to see him end up the next Brandon Roy.

Brandon Roy didn't have a ring, Finals MVP, a single DPOY, a single All-NBA honor nor did he own the best player in the league. Keep soiling yourself I understand that you have had a long day of dumper diving.

Kawhi out there toying w/ DUI RC:lmao

[Kawhitstorm]

I don't know man, Uncle Dennis' medical team took over in August according to Woj and Leonard seemed fine to go to China at the time. It just screams holdout when the Spurs doctors kept saying he was fine. As funny as it would be to see his career destroyed by injury next year he'll probably be fine and ESPN will hail him a hero with a triumphant return from a season ending injury. At least the NBA doesn't give a Comeback Player of the Year Award, would have made me puke seeing him win that after a hold out.

Mad much...:lmao

[tholdren]

Kawhi out there toying w/ DUI RC:lmao

Wow. You really are melting down... post after post after pos. Just leave.

[Kawhitstorm]

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.

Showing ShittyFO that Cali love :toast

[baseline bum]

Trade both now while value is high

I have always advocated trading Aldridge if they were going to lose Leonard. No reason to be a low level playoff team with no future, might as well be really bad for a few years and at least get some talent on the team. With Leonard gone there is no one on the team worth keeping to build around.

Kawhi's group is not part of the team. They are the ones who are unhappy. They wouldn't even want to let Kawhi talk to Pop one on one. They did this media circus.

And unlike LMA, LMA went directly to Pop and voiced out his concerns. Now compare that to what Kawhi's group did.

[sasaint]

How so? Both are/were unhappy with PATFO. And if manu4tres is to be believed LMA wants out once again.

I believe that they have both been at least equally unhappy with each other.

I think the best thing to do is wait and see. Not until I hear it from PATFO or KL/group am I believing any of this. This story changes daily from one where KL/Spurs are "healing" to he wants out. Let's just hope it's the media trying to stir crap up because if its his family pulling all these strings just to get paid...well they're making things worse.

Spurs should trade Leonard and get back a player and also get a top 10 draft pick and draft Mikal Bridges.

This is just wrong...Jabari Young hasn't been in San Antonio long enough to write something like this as if he witnessed it...Kawhi didn't force Pop's hand...Pop tagged him very early on that Kawhi was the future face of the franchise, when a lot of people didn't see that...

So Uncle Dennis trying to tell the Spurs they can still keep him with a supermax offer? Fuck him, let him play for less elsewhere.
Is this a surprise for you? His camp always wanted the supermax, when they heard the Spurs were reluctant, they asked for a trade.

If you believe Jabari Young is their voice...A month ago he tweeted it was supermax or trade, as simple as that...And the Spurs knew it.

That's why I'm calm, the Spurs aren't desperate, they wanted this at some point, and will find great pieces for Kawhi.

2017
Lebron to pop: hey I’m gonna come play with y’all next year but I’ve got to have a good reason to leave Cleveland so I don’t look like the villain.


Pop to Lebron: ok I’ve got it. Talk to kyrie and tell him to tell Cleveland that he wants out and doesn’t want to play for with you anymore. Tell him to request a trade to the spurs or Boston or anywhere else for that matter. But don’t worry we’ll get him next year too. Then when next summer comes around we’ll trade kawhi for Irving plus good pieces. Then you’ll be the man on our team with your all star point guard plus Aldridge and a whole bunch of quality role players. And did I mention you’ll have the best coach of your generation coaching y’all and we’ll destroy the warriors. But when it comes time to leave Cleveland you can say you told management that you didn’t want kyrie to leave and then kyrie can tell whoever he’s traded to that he doesn’t know if he’ll resign with them.


Lebron to pop: you’re fucking crazy. I’m going to LA

Fuck him, he won't even let Kawhi meet with Pop without his ass tagging along. Too many games from these faggots.

[Gibbz]

lmao

[kjhip1]

Love the media narrative of Kawhi somehow being traded to LA. Dumbest thing in the world. FO would never do that and no thanks to Lonzo ball (trash) or Kuzma. They don’t even have decent picks. Oh and F**K Kawhi

[Uriel]

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.
Louder for the people at the back.

[YGWHI]

Too many games from these faggots.

Agree on this. Now that his camp gets all butthurt after not getting the extension, they're telling Jabari that wasn't for the money...

Of course I didn't want to fuck that hot hoe... after she told me "hell no". :D

Anyway, I still think the Spurs should have taken the risk and gave him the supermax, he really wanted it and things could have worked very well next season.

But I guess there are small markets that can't afford these huge deals...We'll see what happen to DJ or Doncic/Jaylen/Tatum in next years, if the Spurs can keep them if they qualify for DPE in their 2nd contracts.

[Uriel]

I mean it is kinda odd that Jabari Windhorst tweeted that the Kawhi James-Spurs tensions had cooled and all signs pointed to an extension. Then, Spurs tell Woj that they aren't going in there to instantly offer the supermax. Then this shit comes out. Could certainly be a power move.
Exactly. You hit the nail on the head.

[Budkin]

How long until we hear something from the Spurs?

[toki9]

:lmao :lmao :lmao

1007767663383212032

[toki9]

Nah. He'll get exposed eventually. The bank manager is way in over his head.

So much of this could have been avoided had Kawhi just retained an experienced NBA agent...

[toki9]

Sort of...if he doesn't extend with the team he gets traded to, then his next contract as a free agent would be about $140MM...I believe (someone correct me on this) he'll leave around $40MM on the table under that scenario (in addition to the $40MM he would have lost on the SuperMax)...so how much of a loaner would he really be?

[Uriel]

Uncle Dennis should be the most hated man in San Antonio right now.

[YGWHI]

Scola.
Thanks.

Google says 11 years ago.

Well, I can see Pop trading Kawhi to a WC team like Suns or Kings for their #1-2 picks. They're that horrible that even Kawhi couldn't change them. But never Lakers or Clippers.

[Barfunk]

For the love of god, please at least get something legit in return for him.

[Dex]

Pop ain’t gonna approve a trade of one head case for another....especially if he comes with a head case father.

Also, Lonzo and his BBB brand wouldn’t stick around in a small market anyways...he would walk as soon as he had the chance. No way in hell the Spurs agree to that.

[John B]

I feel much better now. Fuck Kawhi. Send him to Sacramento for #2 plus whoever, draft Bagley build around him :ihit

It goes from $219M to $188M over 5 years, or $31M. From there it goes down to $139M over 4 year max contract if he doesn't re-sign.

So in essence it's $80M, spread out over 1 fewer year by $31M (for supermax) and $49M (and for max) respectively

Correct me if this is wrong but didn't Kawhi injure himself.
Now he is mad, potentially $80 million mad because the team was uncomfortable by that.

He lost trust the Front Office and now he might get sent to Sactown with Divac in charge or Philly which just fired its president because he was using burner accounts on twitter to leak sensitive information about the organization. Or the Lakers where he will be hounded by the media and bombarded by LaVar Ball questions all day, every day.

Again, this is a power move by Kawhi's camp to extract the supermax from the Spurs. The Spurs won't trade him. The way I see it, the two most likely scenarios are:

1. The Spurs have face-to-face meeting with him and give him the supermax his camp has wanted all along.
2. They play out the season, keep him on the team for another year, then offer him the supermax next summer.

I actually wouldn't be shocked if they work something out. Kawhi and his camp just realized there are actual adults in the room. They thought they were going to force a supermax with boorish behavior. Like a 4 year old girl (source: I've got one).

Instead, they ran into a gotdamn brick wall of PATFO. If I'm them I trade this fool. No way do I deal with the shit represenentation Kawhi is trying to roll with. Not after this shit. No fucking way.

Right? How do you work with this for the next 4-5 years, particularly if he's your best player taking up the biggest chunk of your salary cap? It's way too much risk, I would think. In some ways this feels quite a bit like the Jonathan Simmons mess last summer--who also had an agent who had no idea what he was doing.

[eDizzle20]

At the end of the day it reminds Spurs fans that there will always be only one Tim Duncan. He was the ultimate teammate and was never jealous of the success of his teammates. Pop was in tears at Tim’s retirement because he knew shit would never be the same.

He doesn't have any connections other than Aldridge and he's not pulling anybody.

He and the other media are clueless about overseas stash players and wouldn't consider any good enough to make Spurs fans spoiled but also wouldn't have to keep it secret.

I think Spurs will get a few quality players in exchange for Kawhi. I don't think he will give up a max 183M (If traded) for 140M max if he becomes free agent next year. Spurs will still be a legit contender as long as Spurs don't fold on Kawhi's demand.

At this point, I wouldn't even bother trying to convince him to stay let alone consider offering the supermax. Kawhi and his camp's attitude isn't gonna change anytime soon.

Trading him now is the best option imo. The Spurs don't necessarily have to give him what he wants and send him to LA. If he refuses to sign an extension with whichever team he gets traded to, he will lose a 30M more in guaranteed money on top of the 50M he's lost by not getting the supermax iirc. It wont be easy to make that money back in sponsorship deals even in a large market.

The Celtics, Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and Sixers are all rumored to be interested. A lot of people are expecting the Spurs to get lowball offers but there are angles that could work in the Spurs favor. The Clippers, Lakers and Celtics hate each other, lowballing could send Kawhi to their rivals. The Celtics own the Kings 2019 pick (its protected iirc), but if the Kings get Kawhi, they could also get that pick back from Boston. The Celtics are already contenders but if the Sixers get Kawhi, that's another team theyd have to get past in the East.

Bottom line, losing Kawhi sucks but we have options.

I wonder who that player is?????????? I hope we don't miss out on a good player because of Kawhi acting like a fuckwit.

I'm not on Twitter, did anyone follow up and ask anymore about if it was supposed to be through trade or if the said player was a free agent?

[alpha_HaZE]

It used to be that reporters verified with 2 to 3 other independent sources to verify what they've been "told"...that probably doesn't happen anymore...if you're only reporting what you've been told, then that's just being a human press release, isn't it?

Very well said! Dude hates the Spurs, which makes me think that people in Kawhi's camp feel the same way. Bitching about the so-called leaks. They leak that all is okay and then in 48 hours, they leak Kawhi's wants out. Without Kawhi or anyone of his camp communicating that to the Spurs. That means, Pop found out the same way we did. From the meadia! Yikes, and this dude is upset about Tony's comments (who he himself admits) they were taken out of context or the fact that Pop said "his group" or something to that effect. That's ridicoulous.

What Woj said that the Spurs they are not going to offer him the supermax right away, was that pissed them off and changed their minds? Did that really happen? But then he says, its not about the money, and the questions is what might have changed in the last 48 hours that involves another player (not lebron) Jabari has said that PG and Kawhi have spoken about playing together. So the only other thing I can tihnk of is that PG decided to return to OKC.

[polandprzem]

Pop like to talk to people like they are grown ups. Now it seems Kawhi is not a man and is hiding behind some group we have no idea who is in it. That is not normal situation here and it looks like the best scenario is to trade him cause this drama will not stop if Kawhi not men up.

That aside - who you receive in the trade now? Leonard is top3 player in NBA so you won't get nobody in the draft comparable to him. And only LeBron, Durant and Harden maybe are equal in bball quality.

[Mal]

Kawhi and his uncle are messing with Pop, that's a fact but healthy Kawhi is the second best player in the world, he will have no problem getting a max anywhere he chooses to play

But only Spurs can offer him 219 mil. No one else. He is leaving around 50 mil on the table.

[gambit1990]

But only Spurs can offer him 219 mil. No one else. He is leaving around 50 mil on the table.
there was a recent report saying kawhi doesn’t care about the extra money.

[Jules_Winnfield]

What has more value, 2017 2nd pick (Lonzo) or 2018 2nd pick?

I wouldn't mind Kawhi for Kyrie and the Kings 2019 pick. Also, Clippers two draft picks and Tobias Harris sounds interesting if we were to add Cousins in the free agency, and draft say Zhaire Smith, Robert Williams (Clippers 12th & 13th), and Donte DiVincenzo.

[Chinook]

What has more value, 2017 2nd pick (Lonzo) or 2018 2nd pick?

2 has more value than Lonzo. I'd go as far as to say PATFO would rather have 10 than Lonzo, not even considering Lavar

[-21-]

there was a recent report saying kawhi doesn’t care about the extra money.

Maybe Kawhi doesn't but Uncle Dennis and the rest of his camp clearly does. Unfortunately for them, they are amatuers and ended up mishandling the situation. It seems they've lost the chance at the supermax. Kawhi could lose 30M more if he doesn't sign an extension to the team he gets traded to. If he doesnt end up back home in LA, they better hope the Spurs trade him to a team with a large market or at the very least a playoff team. If not, they will have gained nothing: no supermax, no large market, no going home to LA, no superteam. Kawhi's camp screwed up, saying that he dont care about the money is just an excuse.

[tbdog]

Harris is awful. He has no iq. He is a stat filler and not even that good at that.

He'll make 100M+ in endorsements over the next four year playing for a large market. I don't think he'll miss 30M and those bogus, unfunny HEB commercials when he'll come out way ahead over the long haul.

Damn, the amount of posters still in total denial is astounding and this was only day 1. :lol

This is a global league. Lebron, KD, Russ, Lillard, Davis and plenty of other stars do just fine on endorsements. Kawhi doesn't get a lot because he either doesn't want them or can't execute them. Stars get their ad money off big brands, not local endorsements. Markets have nothing do to with it, which is why you don't see a bunch of guys taking discounts to go play in NY, Brooklyn or the LA teams.

[KimmyGib]

The guy straight up refused to play while under contract for an entire season. Won't be surprised or upset to see him go. Still hope to see him back at 100% wherever he lands.

[coachmac87]

Spurs fans also have to take in account that Kawhi could be apart of the next super team..the kid wants to win and with possibly knowing another super team or GSW, Boston are all in the running..he had to leave SA cause those other players didn’t want to come here to do it..

So instead of getting paid and never winning like Westbrook...he took the chance to join something “special”. Kawhi is a Top 5 player etc and being successful in LA and rejuvenating the Lakers means more for his brand then sustained success in SA..plus Pop being on his last leg.

It was time. He handled it absolutely wrong and should get criticized for it and tbh was sickening how he treated the franchise. Say what you want about the mistakes made..Spurs deserved better than that. They always had his best intest referring to health or even as a person... he was wrong everyone know is it

[YGWHI]

Markets have nothing do to with it, which is why you don't see a bunch of guys taking discounts to go play in NY, Brooklyn or the LA teams.

1-Depends on the players. LA helped a lot Blake, I doubt he would sign the same type of endorsements playing in the East now.

2-Young players don't take discounts in this league.

3-No one takes discounts to play for teams in states with high taxes.

4-Who the hell would take a paycut to play for NY, Brooklyn, LA? They have ton of money, players know that

[spurschamps99030507]

It goes from $219M to $188M over 5 years, or $31M. From there it goes down to $139M over 4 year max contract if he doesn't re-sign.

So in essence it's $80M, spread out over 1 fewer year by $31M (for supermax) and $49M (and for max) respectively

So...
1. Sit one year for "not feeling right"
2. Stay silent, don't communicate, let teammates and franchise in the dark about return affecting their season and bringing drama on the spurs.
3. Still take the 20 millions.
4. Ultimately wants to be traded

Is this the biggest motherfucker in NBA history ?

Everybody, including me, got it all wrong about this guy. Huge A-hole.
He already ruined his reputation among fans and players with his attitude this season but now he'll be a douchebag for everybody.

People respect the spurs around the league. They're kind of the morale caution, the franchise people turn to say it's not all about egoism and cash. The team that gives everybody good consciousness. And everyone loves Pop.

Kawhi will be the guy that shit and try to abuse him and them.

Don't trade him, sit him and make him lose another year of his prime... "DNP Not feeling Right".

There will be a lot of important moves this year and next year will be less interesting for him after all the the major teams will have signed their big dogs...

Make him pay.
I trust Pop. You don't fuck him and the spurs.

Can't think of a bigger snake in the NBA. Even if he's just a mute retard and has let his group control things, which seems likely. Still a way bigger faggot than Durant.

[YGWHI]

Durant is 29 years old, I was thinking about players in their 20's or mid 20's

Brogdon+Middleton for Kawhi?

I would even add Mills and Della.

Nah...People know that KD took the easy way and jumped into a champ team.

On other hand, Kawhi will lose $100M and will end playing for scrubs like Suns or Sacramento.

Like it or not, most NBA fans don't see him as a bandwagon star like KD.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Nah...People know that KD took the easy way and jumped into a champ team.

As opposed to refusing to play for a playoff team and looking to go to a superteam in a big market?


On other hand, Kawhi will lose $100M and will end playing for scrubs like Suns or Sacramento.

Neither of these will send top picks for a one year rental. Players get their wish about where to go, especially stars. He'll lose money though, that's for sure.


Like it or not, most NBA fans don't see him as a bandwagon star like KD.

Yet.

Certainly a quitter and a snake though.

[YGWHI]

1-Sacramento and Suns GMs are that stupid to believe they can convince Kawhi to stay after one year.

2-Cousins wanted to go to NO? PG13 to OKC? No.


Yet.
Nah.

It's not july yet.

Would be great to think so but it's a naive hope at best.Besides, how could they be sure he won't fake another injury and not play at all? Once a snake always a snake.


2-Cousins wanted to go to NO? PG13 to OKC? No.

Of course they didn't, but Sac and Indiana got 30 cents on the $ in these trades. Sure, Oladipo had a great season but at the time of the deal he was an average overpaid player.

[YGWHI]

It doesn't change the fact that players don't go or sign wherever they want/wish like you say.

[YGWHI]

Anyway..I tend to doubt about fans' narratives when it's only one side's fault.

Kawhi's camp is very unprofessional but if we can't admit the Spurs could manage this better...We're blind.

His camp are stupid greedy newbies but I expected more from the Spurs,

The team could try to appease things instead of burning all during the regular season.

I get they got frustrated but they're the best sport organization in world, they shouldn't let frustration make them say the wrong things or make mistakes in public.

I guess this is the part of Pop about old school way, who knows but it seems like he should adapt at least a bit to these new times...

[r0drig0lac]

At the end of the day it reminds Spurs fans that there will always be only one Tim Duncan. He was the ultimate teammate and was never jealous of the success of his teammates. Pop was in tears at Tim’s retirement because he knew shit would never be the same.

Yeah they should definitely suspend him for the season if he threatens to not sign elsewhere thus torpedoing the Spurs chance to get what they're looking for in trade. It's not like that piece of shit's agent is anyone to worry about pissing off since no one else is represented by him.

[cd021]

They'll need to either dump Ball or stretch Deng to open up a second max slot.

They already have money for two Max's. They could package Lonzo and Deng together to open up even more room.

[duncan2k5]

Ha. I'd forgotten about that. Spot on. Buffoonery abounds.

a top 5 player wanting the supermax is too much to ask for?? wtf?

[MaNu4Tres]

Knowing how Magic & Jeanie do business, I wouldn't put it past them to offer a small stake in the organization and other investment opportunities to make up the money lost.

[cd98]

Yeah, Kawhi’s personality keeps him from being marketable. I mean HEB can use comic relief to portray him as a dumb mute, but that doesn’t work for Nike.

[baseline bum]

They already have money for two Max's. They could package Lonzo and Deng together to open up even more room.

Once you factor in cap holds they'd have to shed roughly $3 million in salary to open up a max slot for Paul George after signing LeBron to a max deal, with their only players under contract being Deng, Ball, Ingram, Kuzma, and Hart. They have team options they'd have to decline on everyone else on the roster. If they're going for CP3 after signing LeBron they'd need to shed about $8 million in salary.

[acoelho1]

Pop should get some blame here for his role in creating this mess. The organization made a conscious choice to alienate their star player and now we are faced with losing one of the best players in the league. I’m not saying Kawhi doesn’t deserve some blame but this is a stars league so you do what’s necessary to keep them happy.

Also, those of you attributing Kawhi’s silence to some mental issue is way off base.. Kawhi seems pretty smart to me and I do think he was hurt by some of the comments made. Put yourself in his shoes. How would you feel if Pop didn’t believe you were injured especially after seeing you put in work all these years.

Honestly at this point I just think there's too big of a generational difference between Pop and his players. Being 70 years old and trying to work with a 26 year old. I can't even fucking imagine. Pop is an old school guy and Kawhi (despite all of our hopes of him being Tim Duncan 2.0) is not.
