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

[Mugen]

Big Mona with the Thanos finger snap :lol

[apalisoc_9]

Lebrons decision at 34 years old is less of a basketball reason. Its really just positioning himslef for hollywood etc.

[RD2191]

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

Pretty much

[DAF86]

Fuck you, LeBron.

Change your sig son.

I really like both Lebron & Kawhi as BB players. But both of them really threw the Spurs organization under the bus, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

[lmbebo]

hate it. hate it all ...

[coachmac87]

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

Win 1 ring he’d become the GOAT. Laker fan base and media slurp job + titles with 3 different teams would make sure of it...

[exstatic]

The key is acquiring assets -- not worrying about what bad contracts you (temporarily) take . . .

The key is NOT taking bad contracts when the biggest asset in the trade is YOURS. You don’t get raped AND take out the Lakers trash.

[DPG21920]

So look, here is the link to LA’s salaries: http://www.shamsports.com/capulator?id=20518394825b397f4ce735e767821627

If LA got rid of everyone on their team except for Ingram, Ball, Kuz, Hart and and stretched Deng, they would have just enough to sign Kawhi in free agency to his max next year.

So any deal they sign this year that goes into next year eats into that. If they want 3 stars, they will have to trade for one since in the scenario above they will only have cap space for 2 (Lebron and Kawhi). They will have lost Randle and all depth but if they think Ingram/Lonzo/Kuz are worth a third star then that is the route they can go.

76ers should have the same level of interest in Kawhi. With LeBron gone, the East is between them and Celtics. Kawhi would shift that match up in 76ers favor.

And I think the Lakers learned their lesson from PG. That Laker team needs Kawhi. It’s possible they miss the playoffs or are a low seed without another superstar. LeBron can carry a team by himself in the East, but he’s never had to go through the West. He won’t do it alone in his 30s.

[Mugen]

You gotta hold Leonard at this point. His value is rock bottom right now with Uncle Dennis already going out and killing any value he has left on the market.

Either that or you give him the supermax.

[marinoman]

Just fucking hold Leonard and make him walk away from 80+ mil next offseason. Trading for the Lakers trash would be franchise suicide tbh.
Sputs have til mid October to offer supermax, which went up 2 mil

But wouldn't they sign the second star next offseason (Kawhi) and then move the spare pieces? Guess they could trade Kawhi now and have almost dedicated going into next offseason for a third piece.

Also, Kuzma and Hart make peanuts compared to Ingram and Ball. More likely they stay as depth.

[NASpurs]

Big Mona and Windy in the same city? Is there enough gravity for those two to coexist or will they swallow one another like a pair of black holes?

[marinoman]

STephen A Smith said kawhi is willing to sit all year-

[LkrFan]

Why do these idiots think the Lakers can not only get the best player in the deal (by far) but also off load the worst contract in the NBA?

So why would you not trade the pieces now for Kawhi to guarantee you get your star now vs wasting a year only to try and trade them later?

The Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs have been in touch on a Kawhi Leonard trade two times on Sunday and may talk again this evening.

"San Antonio is asking for the house," said Stephen A. Smith. "Kyle Kuzma is off limits. They're not willing to surrender three picks. Their mentality is that Kawhi Leonard wants to be a Laker (now or in 2019)."

Smith also reports that Leonard could even sit out the 18-19 season if he's not traded to the Lakers. Smith clarified that he's heard this from other executives and not directly from Leonard on that report.

The Lakers are prepared to walk away from trade talks with the Spurs if a deal isn't done by Monday.

At some point, you have to take a stand. If you're literally getting blackmailed into a situation, you need to take control and play your hand. Right now, the hand is to keep Leonard on the team and force him to leave a lot of money on the table next year.

That is fine tbh. If he wants to tarnish his image even more, and lose out on career stats let him do it. That is nothing more than posturing. If his bluff is called, that would be funny, but in truth I really don't think I care to see him in silver and black anymore.

By next year there will be new talented players that will have distinguished themselves on the court. The talent pool gets muddled and his value goes down.

Yea no way RC trades Kawhi to LA right after they signed Lebron. Zero chance. Would be the dumbest thing ever. He can go there next year in Free Agency if he wants. So be it. But you don’t just hand him over to them. Trade him and East for the best package possible (without getting bent over raw), or hold onto him and if he wants to be a faggot and threatens to sit out, fine his ass every single game he does. Will cost him millions total. I bet he starts playing then.

this guy has had a lot of misses with regard to Kawhi’s situation though. I don’t know why the Lakers (or their fans) are so big on leverage when there are practically three other teams to which he can be dealt. Either way the team that’s getting him is getting a drama queen riddled with chronic tendinitis so good luck with that.

[MoSpur02]

I'm calling Magic's bluff if I'm the Spurs. I would go to Cricket and change my cell number if I'm Pop and R.C

[eDizzle20]

If Kawhi sits out next season because he’s still with the Spurs expect another strike when the current cba comes to an end. No way owners would allow fully guaranteed contracts if this garbage gets a player out of a contract and is still paid.

They can put the Spurs on the clock, the Clippers, Sixers, and Celtics can offer something else. Spurs are talking with the Sixers as per Mike Finger/Jeff McDonald and have specified two players in addition to three draft picks. I don’t know why the Lakers are acting like they’re the only possible destination for Leonard. They can keep Kuzma and Ingram and Hart. Cov and Saric along with picks would be fine.

The Lakers are calling the shots now. Spurs have no leverage and will lose on any trade with the Lakers or get nothing back next year. Front office failed badly, should have traded Leonard sooner than later.

I have been saying all along it was better the Spurs trade Leonard on draft night but many in here wanted to wait.

Funny thing is yesterday they announced they were not offering Ingram now its Kuzma. Lakers must be taking the Spurs for straight chumps. Dont blame them. Everything reeks shady business all the way to Kawhi's "sit out". All this strong arming leaks are making things worse. Spurs, RC, and Pop will not be strongarmed.

[Clipper Nation]

How so? :lol
Quitting on one whole season was already a bad look. Quitting on two seasons in a row would be a PR disaster - plus, who knows how good he'd even be once he decided to start playing again.

[cd98]

He’ll sit him this year and threaten to sue him for breach of contract for not playing last year. It’s a fact issue as to whether or not he was healthy enough to play. File it here in SA and let a SA jury decide if Kawhi’s doctor was right or if the Spurs doctors were right.

[FireMicoHalili]

Working on public relations and news is great. Slip them a Benjamin and they use their “influence” to stir up trade talks.

From the realgm article: “Smith also reports that Leonard could even sit out the 18-19 season if he's not traded to the Lakers. Smith clarified that he's heard this from other executives and not directly from Leonard on that report.”

[callo1]

No other team is going to give the Spurs anything good for one year of Leonard.

True, but the Lakers know that if they don't get Kawhi now, they throw one year away of being a contender, as Lebron just gets older.

[spursreport]

No other team is going to give the Spurs anything good for one year of Leonard.

Anything you say means jack shit. You said Kawhi isn’t a top 5 player. You’ve lost all credibility. I hope Kawhi inks a supermax deal with the spurs, and you end up turning in your membership card, faggot.

[toki9]

Let him sit. Litigate on basis of breach of contract and tie him up in the courts (Is that doable? Any lawyers care to chime in?)--let him waste his prime until the case is resolved.

[rascal]

True, but the Lakers know that if they don't get Kawhi now, they throw one year away of being a contender, as Lebron just gets older.

So what, they got James and will build some other players this year and get Leonard next year anyways. The Spurs are going to cave and trade him for Laker scraps, just wait and see 1-2-3.

And some in here will even be excited with the Lakers players coming to San Antonio as they are front office homers.

[MoSpur02]

Why would the Spurs essentially help the Lakers win a championship and at the same time throw in the towel on the season by handing over Kawhi? Because he's supposedly threatening to sit? Because the Lakers set a deadline? I don't believe Pop and R.C are that week or dumb. They want to remain competitive. If they give into that supposed trade offer by the Lakers then they obviously won't remain competitive.

Yeah, I think this just means that what slim chance there was of a deal between the Spurs and the Lakers just went to 0%.

[Mugen]

You have to think that Philly is still willing. Unfortunately, their offer will be pretty crappy at this point.

[SPURt]

Having Leonard sit or give him up for garbage? Let him sit, the Spurs will be a first round exit either way. At least forcing him to stay makes a rival weaker. LA has no leverage here.

I love the San Antonio Spurs organization, how they build their team and run their organization. I also have a tremendous amount of respect for PATFO. I do think I can ever forgive KL for the position he puts the Spurs in.

[SpursDynasty85]

We'll see how he plays with Bron, didn't work out so well for Clarkson.

Pretty sure Lebron was stat padding last year and making everyone his eventual scapegoat to losing to the warriors. Lebron will finish his career as a Laker and finally play in a leader type Tim Duncan / Magic Johnson type role.

[goliath]

Kawhi won’t sit out next year. If he tried you have to figure silver and the nba would step in.

[MannyIsGod]

a lot of you talked about waiting and waiting and waiting as if leverage would only get better. I hope the Spurs didn't overplay their hand.

[MannyIsGod]

Kawhi won’t sit out next year. If he tried you have to figure silver and the nba would step in.

LOL what the fuck is SIlver going to do? Make him play?

No way in hell are the Lakers good with waiting a year for to pair Kawhi with an aging Lebron.

Kawhi won’t sit out next year. If he tried you have to figure silver and the nba would step in.
Silver is a player slut. He’ll stand up to Trump, but not Lebron.

[Pavlov]

a lot of you talked about waiting and waiting and waiting as if leverage would only get better. I hope the Spurs didn't overplay their hand.I was actually kind of for the crappy Clippers trade if only to avoid this shitstorm. Doesn't look like the Lakers terrorist threat of an offer isn't any better.

[cjw]

LOL what the fuck is SIlver going to do? Make him play?

Not grant him free agency.

And if Silver won’t, the Spurs can go to court for an injunction. This would be unprecedented. If Brady inflating balls can go to court, this would too.

[tbdog]

Leonard reports to training camp, and you have him alone. He comes around and signs a super max the day before the regular season starts.

[MannyIsGod]

No way in hell are the Lakers good with waiting a year for to pair Kawhi with an aging Lebron.

I didn't think so eitehr but I didn't expect Lebron to sign for 4 years and then for them to spend 12 million on KCP.

Fine him. Suspend him. They can't just let Kawhi sit out a year on purpose while under contract or else every star who wants out of their current team will start doing the same thing.

Not grant him free agency.

He could say the nbas position is that if a player of voluntarily sitting out the contract rolls over. He could say the nbas position is the spurs can suspend him without pay. I don’t see the nba willingly alllowing a player to sit out the last year of his contract to force a trade. That would set a horrible precedent

[MannyIsGod]

Fine him. Suspend him. They can't just let Kawhi sit out a year on purpose while under contract or else every star who wants out will start doing the same thing.

Of course Kawhi can sit out a year and of course any other star can do the same. Are ya'll fucking stupid? You don't have to do the fucking job if you don't want to. These dude's aren't slaves.

Kentavius Caldwell Pope seems like a good pick up if you lost Kuzma and Ingram. Hopefully they play ball but you can't blame them for that. They have to play to their leverage also.

No shit they aren't slaves. They voluntarily signed multi-million-dollar contracts to play a kid's game for a living. What a ridiculous comparison. If they don't want to do their job, then they can retire.

Kawhi would set a terrible precedent for the league if he's allowed to sit out a whole season on purpose. It would be monumentally stupid for the league not to respond to that.

If you retire while under contract the team retains your rights. When you enter into a contract both sides have to preform. A team can’t say we aren’t paying a player without cause. A player can’t say I’m not playing without cause. If kwahi says I’m going to sit out my last year and enter free agency, I guarantee the nba steps in

[SuperCam]

No. Most players agree you play out your contract and earn your right to be a free agent. And public opinion would crucify Kawhi for sitting out a year and thinking he should be paid millions to do so. Spurs will win that war, especially bc they are already more media savvy than Kawhi’s group.

I'm not sure what repercussions there would be as far as breach of contract. But his value on the open market would plummet if he sits out another year. He'd have to settle for whatever contract the Lakers gave him, because there'd be no other teams throwing big money at him.

A normal reaction by the media to what SAS just said would be disbelief and shock, because all along the media has believed and reported that 17-18 was all about an injury and the mismanagement of it. This threat confirms that it wasn't and that he already sat out one year to get what he wants. Instead of questioning that though, everyone is just casually wondering how the Spurs are going to react to the threat.

Actually, KL is obligated to play for the team he agreed to play for contractually (SA) - the good news is "the Group" pronounced himself 100% healthy just the other day. The contract remains in effect if he chooses not to show up. That's not even a question.

Kawhi is going to have to prove he can play NBA basketball at a very very high level very very soon or the entire house of cards crumbles. At this point, I wait for training camp and see where the cards fall. There is no deadline for the Spurs right now. Not at all.

That nigga ain’t gonna sit. Lose a whole year of playin in your prime? Bluff

I know. It's not like he did that last season ...

[venitian navigator]

...the point is that the only defense against these kind of behaviors are to immediately call the nba to send a doctor to evaluate the case...our f.o. didn't do that just because they didn't want to compromise the relationship with Kiwhi and his manager. Doing so we lost an entire season and we are gonna lose the next one if we trade him for peanuts...
That's why I think the rule needs to be changed...when a player is cleared to play by his team but refuses to play the nba should verify immediately trough his doctors...and if their doctors share their opinion with team's doctots, then the team can decide if push the player or not to play...and if the player refuses, then suspensions without pay, no chnce to sign for other teams after the end of the contract, banishment from the legue etc etc

When she whined about Pop being short with her during quarter break interviews and made it clear that he didn't treat the men that way (even though he did unless the interviewer was dying of cancer, an idiot like Barkley, or a coach trying to joke with him like Van Gundy).

She's scummy.

I'm confused, is Randle not going there next year? Have they moved on?

Lebron GMing all these 1 year deals so fast makes me wonder if he's been in communication with uncle dennis tbh

[Ice009]

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

Offer the Super Max without a no-trade clause. Trade him after the year if he still wants out.

DO NOT CAVE AND TRADE HIM TO THE LAKERS. Fuck that shit. I don't want their trash and also to give him what he wants. Fuck that.

Randle is gone as it eats into their 2019 plan.

I really hope the Spurs don't take Randle in a fucking S&T :lol

[Trainwreck2100]

They could S&T him for a Kawhi deal.

clearly the spurs didn't want him
