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

[RD2191]

The Spurs need to just hold onto Kawhi.

Tbh

[ducks]

if magic will not trade for leonard without a commitment from james
james is not going to like it there he will not be the one in control

[DAF86]

76ers own sacramento's 2019 1st rd pick and Miami's 2021 1st. Both are potential lottery picks.

Didn't know that. Well, that makes a lot more sense. Getting two future lottery picks. Allows us to get rebuilding talent while not having to actually rebuild. I'm kinda down with it now. I say just do it.

No, Boston owns the King’s 2019 pick unless it’s #1 overall, the the Sixers own it, but that is unlikely.

[picnroll]

Which year is it that draft rules are expected to change where two years of players become eligible?

[Marcus Bryant]

If all the Spurs asked for was 2 players and 3 picks, this shit would have been done already. I'm assuming Fultz is the sticking point and Philly will eventually balk.

Embiid, Simmons, what's the problem?

You are delusional if you think the 76ers are trading Ben Simmons.

Spurs betr get Simmons or Embiid!!! If neither are included it's a STUPID trade!!
6ers getn LeBron & Leonard, WTF!

[DAF86]

No, Boston owns the King’s 2019 pick unless it’s #1 overall, which is possible but unlikely.

Yeah, that's what I had heard. So, yeah, back to believing 3 future 1st round picks is not worth it. Take Miami's 2021 pick and at least 3 of Fultz, Covington, Saric and Z.Smith.

Embiid, Simmons, what's the problem?

[Spurs9]

If all the Spurs asked for was 2 players and 3 picks, this shit would have been done already. I'm assuming Fultz is the sticking point and Philly will eventually balk.

They probably asked for Simmons and maybe Covington for the salaries to be similar in a trade. If it was any 2 players outside of Simmons/Embiid including Fultz they would have probably already done it.

I mean if they wanted to keep RoCo, throwing in Bayless would work.

Two 30th picks aren't long term assets, tbh.

[barbacoataco]

The Sixers would need some kind of agreement from Leonard that he would sign long term to think of giving up Embild or Simmons. I think it looks more and more like the Spurs will keep him and make him play. They can trade him before the deadline to an Eastern Conference contender if they're only getting picks.

[Spurs9]

1013561430170308608

They must have asked for Simmons. Ya'll really think 76ers are holding out on a dude who played 20 games and Saric as a redline to block a Kawhi/Lebron deal? :lmao They probably want Simmons/Saric.

Exactly. If the market isn't there for him right now, it's just not there. You can't force teams to just give up known quantities, and it's not worth trading him for garbage or future roadblocks just for the sake of moving him.

Make him come to camp, show he is healthy, and commit to going somewhere else now that it looks more and more likely that the Lakers are going to shit their pants.

Most of the people in this thread probably know more than this fucking dude.

[BatManu20]

Zhaire Smith’s name hasn’t come up at all in the trade rumors. Maybe PATFO aren’t really high on him. We have too many Guards as it is, but he seemed like a defensive-minded prospect that the Spurs would covet.

[Spurs9]

The year rental always mentioned on Kawhi or if he resigns is really not important if that deal hinges on Lebron coming. If Lebron is a possibility, I don't see that they don't want to budge on 2 players being Saric and Fultz, they would hesitate like this if the Spurs are asking for Simmons which I expect they are. A offer of Kuzma/Ingram/Hart/Picks has more upside than Saric and some other player + the picks. Wasn't pop looking for a top 20 player as a piece to do a deal?

The players mentioned in those random tweets rank much lower than even the Lakers pieces, so its gotta be Simmons they are pushing for. Kawhi has already proven as being one of the best 2 way players and reached his potential. Simmons will be great but Kawhi is already there who has a shot, is a elite defender and would pair with Lebron beautifully. If Kawhi is willing to commit, I don't see why people should laugh at the thought that Simmons should be dealt for him. Would they trade Simmons if they could get Lebron/KD/AD or players on that level? Kawhi had us up 20+ against one of the biggest superteams formed before he got Zaza'd.

[Chinook]

Zhaire Smith’s name hasn’t come up at all in the trade rumors. Maybe PATFO aren’t really high on him. We have too many Guards as it is, but he seemed like a defensive-minded prospect that the Spurs would covet.

Seemed like SA did their due diligence on two-guards they expected to see in their range. I don't think SA wanted him more than Walker and (sigh) Donte.

[Marcus Bryant]

Top 20 player is the threshold Daric is some commie accountant you will part with Simmons.

[exstatic]

the two players are probably Simmons and Fultz...

Yeah, buncha fucking idiots here. When you ask, you ask BIG. If the Spurs had asked only for Saric and Covington, Brown would close that deal so fast, we’d all be talking about the trade announcement right now.

[Dverde]

76ers need Covington in the deal for salary reasons if they want LBJ and Kawhi.

[Spurs9]

TJ and Dario is a joke if thats legit. They could probably get a better package out of any team in the league even if they only thought he would be there a year. Trade with the Suns and get Booker + another piece and picks if thats the deal.

[Spurs9]

Yeah, buncha fucking idiots here. When you ask, you ask BIG. If the Spurs had asked only for Saric and Covington, Brown would close that deal so fast, we’d all be talking about the trade announcement right now.

I thought we had a shot for a second, but we are sooo about to get booty-owned with this Kawhi business.

Kawhi is 10 times better than any player the Sixers got.

[Spurs9]

99.5% of these Twitter reporters have no idea of what players are actually being discussed. A couple of days ago it was mentioned the Spurs see any trade like it’s netting Lebron and Kawhi, like with the 76ers. I’m sure the player they are after in a deal involves Embiid or Kawhi, otherwise they will stay put. Adding Saric and a Fultz or Covington isn’t going to move the needle much.

Bron out in the 1st round baby. But he's probably starting to focus on life after basketball already. Time to become something bigger than a basketball player, in his eyes and he's in the place to do it.

I cannot exist in a world with Tyronne Lue and Luke Walton being championship head coaches.

Smart.

[baseline bum]

Smart.

I can't believe LeBron's going for it. Now the Spurs are bent over a fucking barrel.

[Russ]

Randle wants out. Just saying...

The Spurs don't need to trade Kawhi to make a run at Randle.

[raybies]

Might have to offer the super max or risk losing him for nothing...

[MoSpur02]

Send Randle, Ingram, Kuzma, Hart, and a pick. They can have Kawhi, Gasol, and Mills. Use the money for Aaron Gordon. LOL

[Mugen]

I can't believe LeBron's going for it. Now the Spurs are bent over a fucking barrel.

KCP was probably a condition for him to sign there.

[Russ]

Send Randle, Ingram, Kuzma, Hart, and a pick

RC would get Executive of the Year.

[tbdog]

Leonard's group leaking he will resign with Sixers, says to me that he really wants out and they don't want him to report to training camp.

[Spurs9]

I’ll take Randle/Ingram/Kuz

[Dverde]

How about we trade Kawhi to Philly for Saric and the right to switch conferences with them

[baseline bum]

Well fuck, this is worst case scenario for Leonard's trade value. Lakers lose out on George, sign LeBron, and LeBron is willing to punt a year to sign Kawhi next summer.

[FkLA]

Didn't KCP turn down like an $80 million deal from DET because he wanted the full max? And he settles for 1 yr/$12 mill?

[Spurs9]

Well fuck, this is worst case scenario for Leonard's trade value. Lakers lose out on George, sign LeBron, and LeBron is willing to punt a year to sign Kawhi next summer.
WOJ just said on ESPN news there is urgency for LA to trade for Kawhi now.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I’d love to see Kawhi flip his stance and agree to the Supermax and stay a Spur. In spite of all the BS he’s created he’s still a top 5 talent when healthy. People would forgive and forget pretty fast. Cleveland forgave LeBron for bolting to Miami after half the city called him a traitor.

Uncle Dennis probably won’t change his stance, but I’d still rather keep KL than ever see him play for the Lakers.

[Down Under]

LeBron isn't going to play 1 year in LA without being a contender, and as is, Lakers are the 3rd best team in the West. Surely he'll force them to trade whatever's necessary for Kawhi.

[RD2191]

Well fuck, this is worst case scenario for Leonard's trade value. Lakers lose out on George, sign LeBron, and LeBron is willing to punt a year to sign Kawhi next summer.

So keep him and sit him or make him play out the season.

[DAF86]

When did this happen?

LeBron is on board with them saving the max cap slot for Leonard. He seems to be ok with waiting for 2019.

[Mugen]

Well fuck, this is worst case scenario for Leonard's trade value. Lakers lose out on George, sign LeBron, and LeBron is willing to punt a year to sign Kawhi next summer.

If it's a matter of taking the Lakers trash or losing him after a year, I think Pop and RC might just say fuck it and see what he does up until the season opener.

[NASpurs]

When did this happen?

All day long basically.

[K...]

When did this happen?

It was jabari, so not really credible

[mo7888]

I think the KCP signing is an indication that they are about to go all in for Kawhi. We might send them mills too. Mills, KCP, Kawhi, LeBron, and a rim protecting C. That can compete with GS.

[FkLA]

When did this happen?

Straight from Uncle Dennis the Menace himself:

[slick'81]

Obviously lebron wants kawhi now but what are they going to offer? Its basically ingram and kuzma plus a pick at best

[Clipper Nation]

LeBron is on board with them saving the max cap slot for Leonard. He seems to be ok with waiting for 2019.
He's really stupid, then, because he just saw Magic screw up the same situation with PG13.

He will if that supermax is offered

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

I love all these teams trying to win just one for the whole farm and future. Yet Warriors just going to win again. Don't be fooled...

[Russ]

Well fuck, this is worst case scenario for Leonard's trade value. Lakers lose out on George, sign LeBron, and LeBron is willing to punt a year to sign Kawhi next summer.

Quite true -- this is the Armageddon scenario . . .

[dbreiden83080]

A lot can happen in 1 year. Paul George was guaranteed to be a Laker..

[Hoops Czar]

It's obvious Lebron pushed up his announcement because Philly was too close to obtaining Kawhi.

Spurs are getting rooked no matter who they trade with. Just send him to the Clippers to fuck up Lebron's best laid plans.

[SPURt]

Lebron just gave the Spurs a ton of leverage. He’s turning 34 this December. It’d be a huge deal to lose this first year having Lebron carry that team. By the end of these three years Lebron will be 36. Father Time is gonna come for him sooner or later.

[exstatic]

He's really stupid, then, because he just saw Magic screw up the same situation with PG13.

Exactly, AND using KCP as cap space ballast!

[NASpurs]

We're about to get Tobias Harris!

[RD2191]

We're about to get Tobias Harris!

:lobt2:

[baseline bum]

Quite true -- this is the Armageddon scenario . . .

Nah the Armageddon scenario would be trading Leonard for the Lakers' crap.

[Russ]

I’d love to see Kawhi flip his stance and agree to the Supermax . . .

He rejected the Supermax?

[look_at_g_shred]

Keep him now

[MoSpur02]

The Spurs need to continue to wait. I'm sure Jerry West is still holding out hope and needs to get creative. I'm sure Ainge is also still intrigued as is Brett Brown. I assume the Spurs are still talking to Kawhi in hopes they can hash out a deal. I'm sure Kawhi will probably ask for the supermax, maybe a no trade clause, and for some player(s) to be traded and one in particular not to be resigned.

[RGMCSE]

At the end of the day, fuck Golden State.

If Kawhi ends up in LA, I will be wanting them to beat the Warriors.

Still the cheapest, pathetic move by Durant in history.


STFU dumbass. No one gives a fuck about the warriors. FTL

[cjw]

Lebron isn’t waiting a year to bring in another star. He’s shown no signs of slowing down yet but has a ton of mileage and will be 34 early this coming season. So he’s going to wait until he’s 35 and a half to have another star next to him in Kawhi?

Lots of things can happen to the body in that period of time.

[coachmac87]

He rejected the Supermax?

I don’t think it’s been offered....

Or at least been reported either or

[LkrFan]

Since Spurs have lost leverage:

Or an agreement to resign with an East team

[Hoops Czar]

Quite true -- this is the Armageddon scenario . . .
It was so obvious he was headed to the Lakers that it's your own damn fault for burying your head in the sand and thinking Philly had a snowball's chance in hell of signing Lebron.

[DPG21920]

With KCP signing for 12M, LA no longer can sign a max free agent even if they got rid of all cap holds and options in their control. So it’s clear they aren’t pursuing a max free agent this year and will turn to trade.

BUT, if they sign anyone else like Randle or others to more than one year, it will still hurt them with regards to being able to offer Kawhi max in free agency next year.

They would still have a lot of work to do with Deng, losing Randle for nothing and other players. That’s why a trade seems inevitable. I believe Kawhi would consider PHI but I also think this is Kawhi’s camp telling LA to get it done now. TO sign Kawhi in free agency next year to a max most of the guys would need to be moved anyways to make the room.

[cjw]

:lmao this faggot is a sports writer for the Express News

1013588606806568960

Two things:

1.) I thought he got fired, but guess it was some other crappy reporters making barely enough to pay for rent in his mom’s basement

2.) Who else do the Lakers have besides Lebron?

[SPURt]

At what date can the Spurs no longer offer the super max?

[spursreport]

Keep him now

Another faggot begging now. :lmao

[Ron Swanson]

At what date can the Spurs no longer offer the super max?

October 16th

[SPURt]

October 16th
Thanks!

[coachmac87]

Wouldn’t shock me if Spurs included Patty in trade deal for Kawhi..maybe allow Spurs to get Randle... Just throwing darts lo

Spurs get:Randle, Ingram, Kuzma, Kuzma, (Pick from Lonzo trade)

Would Spurs have to take back Deng?? Waive and stretch?

Murray-White-Parker?
Green-Walker-Manu?
Ingram-Gay
Randle-Kuzma
LMA-Gasol

Randle apparently doesn’t want to be back on the Lakers.

[baseline bum]

1013584772227059713

The KCP signing means someone offered Cousins a long term deal. Probably New Orleans.

[cjw]

The Lakers will almost certainly amnesty Deng next offseason as there is nobody who will do them a favor to help them sign another FA. That would push their cap number down from $77mm plus incomplete roster charges to $65mm. In either case, they could offer Kawhi the max or close to it.

This also assumes no other long term deals are signed, and Randle isn’t retained + Zubac isn’t retained next offseason.

[SpursDynasty85]

I doubt Spurs send Kawhi to Lakers. Likely to send him to east unless they get everybody from the Lakers.

[Down Under]

LeBron is on board with them saving the max cap slot for Leonard. He seems to be ok with waiting for 2019.
This seems pretty crazy, considering it will be his 17th season & you would need to give yourself every shot you can to beat a GSW team that is younger & still probably better.

[BatManu20]

Brook Lopez already stated a few weeks back that he would re-sign with the Lakers for dirt cheap they were able to land LeBron. He said it sort of tongue-in-cheek, but he meant it. He’s definitely coming back.

[Dverde]

Tobias Harris and a future first rounder pick incoming...

[Mugen]

Just fucking hold Leonard and make him walk away from 80+ mil next offseason. Trading for the Lakers trash would be franchise suicide tbh.

[baseline bum]

This seems pretty crazy, considering it will be his 17th season & you would need to give yourself every shot you can to beat a GSW team that is younger & still probably better.

It probably wasn't his first choice. Magic probably told him he wasn't going to get to be GM like in Cleveland. God James' wife must really hate Philadelphia.

You left out Belinelli out of that lineup, and I doubt the Lakers will give that much up. Although, I wonder what 2 Kuzma's would fetch if flipped..... :downspin: :toast

Bron didn't care about rings anymore. Any additional moves that the Lakers do to get in semi-contention is just icing tbh.

This was a family move as evidenced by him signing the 4yr deal
