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

[baseline bum]

Would Kawhi want to play on a team with Stephenson, McGee, Rondo, Kuzma who seems like a douche, and as of right now Ball?

Um yeah, it's Los Angeles and they'd be right there to beat the Warriors with that team.

[Spurs da champs]

yeah irving demanded out with james

Yup, not sure how LeBron's leadership of putting people on blast in games is gonna fly with this crew.

[Dex]

It’s like a team of Lebron’s enemies. They going to talk KG out of retirement

HERE COMES DELONTE WEST!

[Pavlov]

Did Eric cisneros disappear?It's Eric Cisenrios. Get it right.

[ducks]

if leonard goes to la now there is more pressure now with the title
rumor was leonard did not want to play with james

[Dex]

yeah irving demanded out with james

In retrospect, Irving saw the writing on the wall. He knew LeBron was going to be LeGone, and now he's on the most talent/asset-laden team in the East with a clear path to the Finals.

[mo7888]

Can the Lakers go over the cap to sign brook Lopez? I think they have his bird rights but not sure?

[baseline bum]

Right. Still no offer that appealing dating back to the draft. Making a move this second is just negotiating against yourself. Wait for free agency to play out and another team willing to take a shot at Leonard will emerge. Philly + Leonard puts them in a good spot to win the East.

The Spurs are 100% getting pennies on the dollar back now. This is the only scenario where the Spurs would have lost leverage (eg LeBron signing and being ok with a longer term rebuild) but it's the one that happened.

[baseline bum]

What's funny for months is everyone insisted to me that the Spurs would get great offers for Kawhi. I kept telling everyone that fucking mute would torpedo his trade value by saying he'd only go to the Lakers.

[moisaenz]

The Spurs are 100% getting pennies on the dollar back now. This is the only scenario where the Spurs would have lost leverage (eg LeBron signing and being ok with a longer term rebuild) but it's the one that happened.

But they get leverage with Kawhi's group about him willing to resign with another team

[raybies]

Where the laker fans at right now?? LoL this team an 8 seed and very combustible. Magic trying to finesse us... What was clippers offer again???

All the Lakers need is Michael Beasley

Then take someone else's crap and dump him. If he wants LA that badly then he can figure it out.

[007nites]

If the 76ers and Spurs can't come to terms either because of the 76ers unwillingness to include Fultz or the Spurs unwillingness to accept him (especially if it's because of the notion of them being set at PG with Murray) or at least reroute him to the Magic or Suns, what a colossal failure it'll be on both ends.

The 76ers desperately need not only a 3rd star, but go-to scorer if they're going to be championship contenders. Unless they're confident in Fultz' becoming that, they need to take the plunge.

The Spurs should be immensely motivated to not appease Leonard and help the Lakers build a superteam, as well as avoid the treadmill of mediocrity that an Ingram and picks package would inevitably mean.

[ducks]

leonard would be dumb not want to go east he could get to finals

if kawhi is healthy the lakers might as well give the spurs what they want.

hopefully the spurs trade him to philly though.

[RD2191]

Kawhi really is a dumb bastard tbh. He could get close to a LeBron like legacy if he went East. Almost any team he went to out East would automatically make the finals. He'd easily make 3 or 4 straight Finals appearances with the Celtics or Sixers.

I think Lebron stepped in, said that wasn't necessary for him to sign and Lakers backed off...

[mo7888]

It looks like it's now almost impossible for the Lakers to trade for Kawhi this summer unless they give every young asset they have. One has to wonder how this affects Kawhi's psyche? If faced with the proposition of playing for the spurs or opening up his list of teams so he can be moved this month I wonder what he'll do? I don't see any way he sits out next season. In a real sense the Lakers have kind of boxed him in.

In a real sense the Lakers have kind of boxed him in.

If he sits out next season that would devalue his upcoming chances of getting a big contract. It would be 2 seasons of inactivity.

[Extra Stout]

The Lakers’ moves mean any hypothetical deal at this point would require Deng’s contract to be included. No move will be made this summer. L.A. will wait for Kawhi’s free agency in 2019; meanwhile, the gloves will come off between Kawhi and the Spurs.

[baseline bum]

How is singing Rondo and Lance signs of a longer term rebuild? :lol

I get that they are 1 year deals but they're clearly trying to make a run this upcoming season

Because it gives them a ton of flexibility to sign Kawhi and another near max player next summer. That team is going to be nasty as fuck in 2019-20.

[moisaenz]

Lebron doing Pop a favor

[Clipper Nation]

Saw the same things when Durant went to GS from Spur fans.
The Warriors didn't follow up that signing by throwing tons of money at Rondo and Lance in 2018.

[SAGirl]

Maybe, because Kuzma is supposedly unavailable and Ingram and picks more than likely isn't going to get it done. Ball for Isaac or Jackson, with whichever going to the Spurs.

Also, a Rondo-Stephenson backup back court makes no sense.

Rondo intends to compete for a starting spot...

I don't think he wants Philly at all. Too much PR/face of the franchise/leading the young guys stuff. I believe that is one of the major issues underlying this whole fiasco. He wants to be second banana to LeBron, who will let him shine on the court and be overlooked by the media while winning championships.

[duncan2150]

[Mugen]

So why even bother to sign Rondo and Lance this year? You can get other guys on 1yr deals that make more sense. Maybe if you talk yourself into saying these guys are high-risk, high-reward and they somehow luck into a 'ship this year because of injuries. But Rondo, Lance, Javele seem like minus players to me at this point.

Embiid isn't expected to lead guys who are his peers. Teams don't bring in potential MVP-level talent to go under the radar. Kawhi really needs a veteran alpha, and everybody knows it now after his AWOL year.

So Kawhi wouldn’t be mad at LA forcing him to play for a team he does not want to play for, for another year risking injury and having no security to walk to LA in free agency for less money :lol? Great deal for LA.

There was a rumor from nebulous source that lakerfan credits as an anonymous insider who said when LeBron saw that the Lakers were going to have to give up a ton of assets for Kiwi, he made things easier for the Lakers by telling them to hold on to the assets and wait. He was going to sign anyways and didn't want them to throw the farm. Take it fwiw. It wouldn't surprise bc at one point there were rumors that the Lakers wanted Murray together with Kawhi, which has to be a LeBron request (since he loves Murray).
True, But LeBron's going to wait until next year (his 17th season) for Kawhi to arrive, even after PG said he was gonna sign then shelved em?

Kawhi DNP - Group-related matters

[offset formation]

I think it is.

Even if we take this as genuine, it's clear what a mistake having your uncle as your rep is. If your agent gets his feelings hurt he realizes a) its just business b) it probably wasn't intentional and c) I'd better get over it because I have other clients and I need to deal with this franchise.

But when he's your uncle, he cries to his client/nephew "they're excluding you're family." And the sad thing is Kawhi believes this.

Lots of hard truth in here.

Are there any teams who have players under contract for a few years that are trying to shed contracts to get under the cap for 2019 who wouldn't mind renting Kawhi for a year? A team that has players of value who are under contract for a couple of years that aren't too bad that the Spurs could use?

I was gonna troll about kawhi not liking pops liberal bullshit one time but I forgot. Now it seems there’s actuall truth possibly. :lol

Man, if the Spurs get reamed on this trade, then I think I'm done with them too. If they get screwed over on a trade, then they fucked up just as much as Kawhi and his crew did.

Amen. I'm ashamed at the number of posters that said they were totally anti-Laker trade and now say well, if Ingram is included.

Buck up Spurfan. Laker evil is a real thing. Now go put your big boy pants on and fight the good fight. Fuck LA, forever.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Jabari Young, widely regarded as the journalist closest to Kawhi's camp, was on NBA TV today. Since we don't hear from Kawhi and there's a lot of speculation post-Lebron, thought this was interesting insight from someone who has a foot in both sides

-Kawhi probably in the loop as to what Spurs are trying to do with him

-Spurs won't do deal unless it's a win/win; want fair value for best two-way player in league

-Doesn't think Kawhi will sit out. Will diminish his value, and Kawhi understands that, unless injury is "that bad"

-Both sides realize they may have to work together next season if no deal; could be very awkward with teammates and how they embrace him

-Kawhi 96-97% one month ago; should be 100% healthy for training camp

-Implies supermax not offered yet

-Spurs haven't closed door on reconciling; Spurs may hope deep run will change Kawhi's mind.

Kawhi's choice of sport agent to represent him is very unique
Reddit post that highlighted this stuff
https://www.reddit.com/r/NBASpurs/comments/8ufsq5/kawhis_group/
His Twitter account is a bit off-putting and he is an avid Trump supporter so it's possible he may not like Pop from a political standpoint. He also appears to have very little actual experience and was inserted into the picture by his father (real estate mogul) making an investment.
https://twitter.com/Joe_Sutt
"Lebron the professional stats padder"
"I can’t wait for tattoos to not be cool anymore."
In response to Jeff Bezos pocketing huge profits while his company has some of the worst employee standards "It’s called capitalism schmuck."
Apparently he likes Trump and hates Bron a lot and wants cars in Central park lol. But a dedicated sports agent wouldn't be making beef with one of the most connected and popular athletes on Twitter.
"Lebron personally ruined the NBA when he took the precedence of starting this "superteam" epidemic with The Decision."
Ironically he is trying to ship Kawhi to play with Bron. Remember how Kawhi's camp suddenly became open to re-signing with the 76ers possibly, the minute Bron started having meetings with them?. You'd think he'd delete this tweet from a professional standpoint at least.
"It's celebrities like KingJames who endorsed HillaryClinton that got the "bum" realDonaldTrump elected!!!"
This strikes me like Bron aligning himself with Magic to become "wealthy vs rich" but instead you have Uncle Dennis the branch bank deputy manager wanting to rub shoulders in the money world so he gives a billionaire's son a job.

At this point, I just want to see Lebron team up with Kawhi and be the GOAT, no way Spurs are gonna win anytime soon, Pop's on the verge of retirement and so is Manu. Tony is on his last legs and I don't really care for him, so who gives a shit at this point for what we get for Kawhi, he's a lost cause financially and from a players standpoint, just give him to the Lakers and hopefully Demarcus Cousins also signs with the Lakers so Lebron can win like 3 or 4 more rings and be considered the Goat.

Gtfoh. You're wicked to your core.

[Killakobe81]

So LA had 5 years of no playoffs, 3 number 2 picks and a 7th pick which resulted in Russell, Randle, Ingram and Ball. They now lost 2 of the 4 for nothing.

What?!
Russell got us a 1st rounder and Lopez
Kuzma was the 1st rounder and Lopez salary cap spot just happens to be the space we used to acquire Lebron this year.

You wouldn't trade: Randle and Russell for Lebron and Kuzma :lol

I don't see a Kawhi trade that makes much sense for the Clippers anymore, honestly. We'd be hard-pressed to actually build a team around him with how much we'd have to give up in terms of players, picks, and cap flexibility - and with the LeBron/Lakers hype machine in full effect, we'd still be irrelevant anyway from a business perspective.

For those who still want to keep Kawhi, this was a relatively good day. It looks like all the immediate offers are done, and RC and Pop are gonna bring Kawhi into training camp. Jabari (mouth of Uncle D) said he wouldn't likely hold out and pointed out reconciliation is still possible.

So, get him into camp, work on the personal issues, see if he's healthy, and either put down the Supermax, or let him show the world he's still a top player for a month or two then trade him early enough that he still has value. Likely thats the PATFO plan as they tend to play the long game.

Exactly Had the Spurs been more committed to really making a trade on draft night then they could have gotten more from Phil including the 10th pick that Phil was all right trading. Spurs needed to have beaten Phoenix to the table with an offer but they should have had things worked out days before the draft with Phil. they didn't make a trade because they didn't want a trade not because they couldn't make a trade they liked.

The Spurs were still not convinced they wanted to trade Leonard and that is why there was no trade.

[spurraider21]

You sure? Reed usually is on point.
when you waive a player all his guaranteed money gets stretched

deng's entire deal is guaranteed, and he has 2/36 remaining.

so you'd have to waive the full 36. usually a player gets stretched when he has 1 year left. when duncan signed for 2/10 to end his career, he played out 1 year then the spurs waived him the last year. same could happen with manu if he hangs them up

edit: i think i messed up, i thought waived salaries automatically get stretched to 3 years. but you stretch it over 2x the amount of years left, +1. (so for a 1 year deal you would stretch it for 1x2 + 1, which is 3 years). for deng, it would be waived over 5 years. so splitting 36 mil over 5 years would be a little over 7 mil

[objective]

that math is wrong. if you waive deng this year, you have to stretch his entire remaining 36 mil over 3 years, which would be a cap hit of 12 per year for next 3 years. makes no sense to stretch him now

Wouldn't it be over 5 years?

Years X 2 + 1

So Gordon gets 4/84 (20M+ annually), Favors gets 2/36M (18M annually). Looking more and more like Randle’s range is at least 15M if not more.

For those who still want to keep Kawhi, this was a relatively good day. It looks like all the immediate offers are done, and RC and Pop are gonna bring Kawhi into training camp. Jabari (mouth of Uncle D) said he wouldn't likely hold out and pointed out reconciliation is still possible.

So, get him into camp, work on the personal issues, see if he's healthy, and either put down the Supermax, or let him show the world he's still a top player for a month or two then trade him early enough that he still has value. Likely thats the PATFO plan as they tend to play the long game.

Current hits to trade value
1. Appears to have quit on a well regarded organization in the middle of a playoff season to force a trade.
2. Specific trade request to Lakers/Intention to sign with Lakers in '19 offseason
3. Current state of health?

On the one hand when Leonard was last seen playing in a full NBA season he was a top 5 player leading a serious contender. Since then, it's been a mystery with him struggling to return from injury and then conflict with one of the most stable franchises and front offices in the league along with trade demands, accusations of misdiagnosis and mishandling of player health, and so on. While he's certainly an attractive target, the amount of issues which need to be evaluated here seriously by any party require time and thought. Given the lack thereof to this point, whatever offers have been made have been a fraction of the value he would have brought in the summer of '17.

So what the Spurs need is time and for him to appear in public playing basketball, in addition to providing teams with data on his health and of course some dialogue between his reps and interested teams regarding 1 and 2.
