I’m surprised the Lakers engaged this long. It was obvious the Spurs were never going to trade Leonard to them. Even if the Lakers came up with the current asking price I’m sure the Spurs would have upped it somehow. Spurs were just toying with them.

Trade him to Sacramento to the Kings for Harry Giles, Garrett Temple, Bagley, Bogdanovic, and a pick.

David Aldridge on NBATV just said the Lakers have stopped negotiating with the Spurs until they lower their trade demands.


Your move, Philly.

Wow, they really showed the Spurs what's up.

But why were they even negotiating at all but if they are so sure they can sign Kawhi anyway?

So, so scared.

Imho the plan of uncle dDenis was the following:

a) protect Kiwhi till the season end, also if his nephew was already healed; then gain the supermax with at least two of the five years of player Option. This way he thought to have, trough Kiwhi, the control of the entire Spurs future and choices, with the chance to blackmail them anytime their decisions were not, in his opinion, in the best interest of his nephew ...(playing so for all the contract tme the strides not only of his nephew but of the entire organization);
b) in case that did not work, being traded for as less was possible, to one of the L.A. teams or to a very big east market...and do so with the help of a tv campaign thanks to his numerous contacts...this way he could have saved for salary the max with bird rights and at the same time try to have back the money of the super max with shoe deals coming from more important markets.

in essence, uncle Denis acted like he was sure he has the means to blackmail the Spurs organization...and at the same time gain a supermax money omne way or the other

what the spurs should do once they discovered this sordid plan?

I have some ideas and none of them are in the sense of giving this fraud the things he wants...

[venitian navigator]

...ah, all this his giving that fraud the benefit of the doubt that there effectively was an injury...bacause the more the time pass and the more his disgusting plan is gonna be exposed, its coming out more than probable that the entire injury thing was just nothing worth preventing Kiwhi from playing...and just part of the plan to let him act as it was something real. Unfortunately, that would mean that Kiwhi was an integral part of the fraud...not only with his mute behavior but also with his Holliwood acting...

[Slippy]

Seems days behind with this one.

Ya true. Didnt kawhi's group also leak out info that he doesnt want to goto the lakers becuase of lebron and preferred the clippers.

Now we at the lakers have stopped negotiations becuase of the spurs.:wtf

Sort of like when it came out celtics were not kawhis preferred destination. Then the next day celtics come out saying our top 5 players are off limits.

Haha the truth is out there somewhere.

Would have loved to have seen Beal next to Kawhi.

Agreed. Beal is very underrated, getting him away from that cancer in John Wall may have improved his game even more.

Not much really is talked about in that article However, I mentioned a couple of days ago that the Spurs really want to make a trade for Tatum if not Brown and other pieces, but if Boston doesn't wanna trade then the Raptors might be a trading partner. I wasn't sure who, but I assume it would be for DeRozan.

[HarlemHeat37]

I'd rather lose Kawhi for nothing than get DeCancer back:lol

[picnroll]

Pop would rather make sure he can guarantee a first round exit than do what’s called for, a young player/picks for a rebuild, hence Derozan or Lowry, a couple of anchors for the future.

I'll take on any of toronto's players as long as we get their assets. Anunoby, Siakam, 2 first rounders would be the price

[Namundy]

Maybe we are planning to showcase him the first month of the season to prove his value and health. Once other teams are reminded of how dominant he is the offers might start flowing back in. There could also be some monster injuries like we saw with Hayward, Cousins, etc. early on. I still think Philly is our best shot if anything happens prior to the season, but right now his value is very down. People need to be reminded that he's a top five player when healthy. This is the most important decision for the Spurs over the next 5-10 years. Pop and RC are under a ton of pressure on this one.

But sadly the Wizards never trade for picks, they trade their own pick away every time lul.

Won’t Murray be offended if the Spurs traded for Lowry after all that fuss about Murray being the starter for years to come? Read countless times the Spurs want to remain competitive on Pop’s two last years so DeRozan may still be an option, though it’ll raise a lot of eyebrows given his reputation as an iso-heavy volume scorer with mediocre defense. Not sure if this is preferable over Covington and Saric but definitely the deal one would probably make to create the semblance of staying competitive. The Spurs also almost traded for Valanciunas before and RC is probably still infatuated with him so they’ll probably want him in exchange for Mills/Gasol. Outside of Anunoby and Siakam they don’t have a lot of desirable assets.

As an aside, the Spurs have always wanted Stanley Johnson from the Pistons. Whether it’s true or not, I’m sure he ends up a Spur one way or another. Now would be a good time to make a play for him.

[picnroll]

If Kawhitter is with the Spurs still next season andclaims injury this year I seriously doubt the Spurs will be so passive in doing their own evaluation.

[dbreiden83080]

Any news?

Is Leonard hiding in a closet because the gardener knocked on his door?

[DPG21920]

Kawhi just needs to show teams he’s healthy. If you don’t want to face Pop and co and have talks, at least leak a video of him playing 5 v 5 to show teams he’s healthy.

That alone would help his trade value, help him get out of SA and also save face instead of having to call Pop/RC to get yourself out of SA.

If we have to trade Kiwhi to Toronto (alias the place where they're gonna tax you most in the nba) we need back wings and bigs...so no to a Lowry or De Rozan trade...yes to a Valenciunas(Ibaka) + Anunoby + assets trade...
For Toronto should be ok 'cause Kiwhi plays Anunoby's role and having their back court togheter with Leonard makes them probably one of the best back courts in the entire nba...

I WOULD BET UNCLE WOULD SAY LEONARD WOULD NOT SO UP FOR PHYICAL IF TRADED TO RAPTORS

Agreed. Spurs never went that route last season because they were still protecting Kawhi under the assumption that he wanted to remain a Spur...which was the right thing to do at the time.

With everything that has gone down this summer, if Kawhi fails to report and tries to play the injury card again, Spurs will be much more inclined to make him prove it.

... and as we’ve seen in the CBA there’s a mechanism for enforcing an independent evaluation. He either gets evaluated and passes in which he either shows up or holds out and loses free agency rights or he fails and kisses goodbye to any half decent contract.

[PennSpur]

Wouldn’t be opposed to Lowry/Anunoby/picks. I think Kyle’s deal is “only” $28M and he needs to hit incentives to reach $30M+. The contract is only two years and he grades out pretty well by advanced metrics. He also apparently had some desire to play here last offseason, which has to count for something in light of this whole Kawhi fiasco. Ive seen stat models that have Toronto projected within a game of Boston, so it makes some sense for them to try to go for it in the East in 2019.

I’d have no interest in anything built around DD or JV.

538 thinks Lowry will still be productive for the next two seasons.

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/carmelo/kyle-lowry/

[Mugen]

I still give it a < 5% chance of happening but all of the recent moves seem to suggest that the front office is either hoping/planning to make amends with Leonard which means likely offering the supermax tbh....

Roster makes a lot more sense if you consider a healthy Kawhi at the center of it tbh....

Unfortunately, that would mean that Kiwhi was an integral part of the fraud...not only with his mute behavior but also with his Holliwood acting...
The media already backpedaled after blasting Tony Parker saying his comments wer the last straw, bc they knew he was very very likely to sign elsewhere.

It wouldn't surprised he exaggerated and faked the injury. His camp already admitted that they were hiding him from Spurs personnel when he was rehabbing...

[PennSpur]

Yeah, one way or another I don’t think they’re planning on tanking. Spurs are still a week away from potentially putting $221M on the table. Hard to walk away from that if you’re Uncle Dennis, not that I’d make that offer personally.

I agree which is why I said once the draft passed that I dont expect a trade until have 7/16 since that is the first date SA can make a contract offer.

I really hope SA is not truly banking on making things work, but I can see them doing that.

Well Pop said they want to remain competitive. There's a difference between competitive and contenders. I do not think the they Spurs are interested either. Wonder about the leak tho. It's not a good idea for the Raptors to disgruntle the duo b4 the season starts.

[Chinook]

The "All-Star" may have been Lebron too, by the way. Pop supposedly wanted to meet with James, and that first meeting with Leonard was before the draft. The Cavs and Spurs (and possibly third teams) may have had something centered around Gasol, Green. Murray and 18 for James. James may not have agreed to opt in without Kawhi's assurances he'd stay, and Lebron's contract going forward would be large enough to where I could see PATFO wanting to negotiate a small extension to make room. I really hope that's not the case and they'd let Dennis sabotage it. Even doing that trade and just having them for a year would have been worth it.

Have you seen all the media buzz of Lebron and LA. The decision for Lebron to go to LA was made up a while ago. Leaks of his son committing to a prep school in LA. Kawhi seemingly only wanting Lakers. Lebron wanted him in LA and so did Kawhi's group. Only thing that held it up was SA. Good for them. Let's be honest SA culturally and marketing wise made no sense for Lebron. He plans to be an actor and politician in the democratic realm.

Raptors talk is probably a way to get more bidders in.

Carter didn't refute the story, he tried to explain it away and did a horrible job. Essentially his take was: "Team paying player $20 million dollars to sit because of injury must give player advance notice before coming to watch him shoot baskets in a gym and train when they want to see how his recovery is going." That's a pretty dumb argument.

DeRozan for Kawhi plus draft pick makes perfect sense. Spurs stay in the mix. Leonard gets shipped to the farthest place from LA with high taxes. Murray, White, Derozan, Gay, Aldridge. That's enough for the Spurs to compete. Relying on the free agent market has not been Spurs mo.

Could possibly unload Pau in this deal. Maybe get back valucianis. Lots of possibilities.

No offense, man, but that's sorta dookie. I wouldn't trade expirings and a pick for Demar, much less Kawhi.

You can only win this game with shooting. That team has zero shooting ability at all.

Derozan can shoot the corner 3 well. He will get a tone of those for the Spurs. He also has a great long mid range and great length. At first it looks bad but the Sours may not do better. Fultz, Ingram&Kuzma, and Tatum may still be off the table. Raptors may want to rebuild. If they lose Leonard they are fine with it. I see them moving Lowry too if this happens. Popovich will have the most talented teams he has had here since 2014. Marco, Gay, White, Mills, Derozan, Aldridge , plus another piece in the trade?

Demar isn't dookie. And we have to consider they're might not be a better option on the table. The suspense is really over everyone's shoulders. Who knows though. I'd live with it.

[buttsR4rebounding]

Raptors talk is probably a way to get more bidders in.

Carter didn't refute the story, he tried to explain it away and did a horrible job. Essentially his take was: "Team paying player $20 million dollars to sit because of injury must give player advance notice before coming to watch him shoot baskets in a gym and train when they want to see how his recovery is going." That's a pretty dumb argument.

He also said that withholding medical records was a "power play" on Kawhi's part. So is there nothing in the CBA that gives the team paying a player the right to medical information pertinent to his ability to play?

[BatManu20]

This all seems like a leverage play by the Spurs to to get Philly and Boston to pony up. Kawhi would never agree to a long-term deal in Toronto. It would 100% be a one-year rental. Raptors aren’t dumb enough to give up major assets for that (although offloading DeRozen’s contract on somebody else would probably be pretty nice for them tbh). But not for a guy who would just bolt after a year.

I actually think Raptors do this. They are ready to give up on the $63M duo of Derozan and Lowry. Which is why they would be okay with losing Kawhi and getting cap room. If Kawhi resigns they get a younger and better player.

A better option is just not taking DeRozan. He's pretty much dookie.

done deal
Ha ha ha!

[exstatic]

I still give it a < 5% chance of happening but all of the recent moves seem to suggest that the front office is either hoping/planning to make amends with Leonard which means likely offering the supermax tbh....

Roster makes a lot more sense if you consider a healthy Kawhi at the center of it tbh....

No, the one telling move is that the leaks from the Spurs camp have started. That alone tells me they're done. They kept a pretty tight lid on things to try to work it out, and that's over now.

[ECOV]

Time heals all wounds

[SAGirl]

The "All-Star" may have been Lebron too, by the way. Pop supposedly wanted to meet with James, and that first meeting with Leonard was before the draft. The Cavs and Spurs (and possibly third teams) may have had something centered around Gasol, Green. Murray and 18 for James. James may not have agreed to opt in without Kawhi's assurances he'd stay, and Lebron's contract going forward would be large enough to where I could see PATFO wanting to negotiate a small extension to make room. I really hope that's not the case and they'd let Dennis sabotage it. Even doing that trade and just having them for a year would have been worth it.
I don't expect that Kawhi has cooperated with Spurs on this. IMO, this whole tantrum is bc he wants the full super max and not a penny less. To be fair, had he been healthy and in MVP mode, I would have dumped whomever needed to be dumped to make that happen (Danny, Rudy, Pau, Mills anyone in a big contract) and paid Kawhi his money. Kawhi getting hurt just soured this completely. How he handled it made matters worse. The Uncle influencing him complicated matters bc Spurs no longer trust that some demands come from Kawhi and not Dennis. Etc. Him getting hurt just complicated everything. And so I think that injury was real, though I don't know how serious and if Kawhi exaggerated or was hypochondriac about it or what. I think the injury cost Kawhi leverage and obviously affected his perceived value. He's knows it, (or Uncle knows it), which is why he tried to come back and play in March and he turned out to not be ready. Pop had already said they didn't expect him back for the season, so there was no pressure. What was that about?

[exstatic]

Time heals all wounds

Not enough time to heal these wounds before his career is over. Sure, in 20 years, maybe Pop and Kawhi work things out, but that won't save the current situation.

I think they might have what they consider to be their best offer on the table, and some technicality is holding it up. Could be Philly, and since Zhaire Smith signed, if he's included they have to wait for 30 days from that signing.

Or, they've decided they're getting nothing, will keep him, force him to report, and basically leak shit all year long.

One thing is for sure: if they felt this was even remotely fixable, none of these leaks would be happening.

Kawhi is gone sometime between tomorrow and early July of next year when the FA period starts.

If the Spurs truly feel like the relationship is irreparable (as has been reported several times), then they may have already shifted into recovery mode from a Spurs PR standpoint.

Kawhi's camp has been trying to pin this all on the Spurs medical staff and their handling of the issue, and if Kawhi really is as good as gone, they need to protect their own brand.

[Payote75]

I'm ok with getting derozan plus it depends what the plus is but the dude can score he is a star playing with Aldridge is a great inside outside game let alone we needed shooters with the young players we have and then add belli and maybe Manu we have some athleticism from the young guys and some very good shot making from the veterans. depending on who the plus is besides the obvious draft pick I like this team lets not discount Rudy gay either. Derozan is not old either not to mention on the plus side it sends that traitorous loser far away to another country. I mean honesty keeping him at this point would be like what's the point? He has obviously showed he cannot and will not be a leader, he cannot recruit, and basically all he wants to do s be simple and play ball play well get his stats promote a brand and collect money. That's not for the Spurs culture he is not Timmy or David. He basically is a dumb way more skilled especially defensively speaking Carmelo Anthony just wants to play and make money everything else be damned.

Leonard has to be dreading the thought of playing in SA after everything that's gone one.
So awkward on so many levels.
Unless he saves a baby from a burning Taco Bell, he's going to hear some boos.
Not to mention, the weirdness being in the locker room.

No, the one telling move is that the leaks from the Spurs camp have started. That alone tells me they're done. They kept a pretty tight lid on things to try to work it out, and that's over now.

And this is what saddens me. Blame it on the Canadian weed, but I always hope that we don't hear anything until July 16 because the Spurs want one last chance to rectify the situation and offer Kawhi the supermax at some point if he can prove that he is healthy and committed (to the team, not the psych ward).

But you're right I fear, I feel like Kawhi is 100% gone and we are going to get pennies on the dollar. It could be another 10-15 years before we get someone as good as Kawhi.

[SpursDynasty85]

Why would they do that while he's still on the team? You'd kill any trade value he has left.

Pretty sure all gms already knew how difficult Kawhi's group was which indicated the bad trade offers. Spurs doing this shows two things: 1) They are defending their reputation for other agents and players to see. and/or 2) making a desperate PR attack on Kawhi's uncle and agent to entice Kawhi to finally give up on them and repair Spurs relationship.

The truth being out there shouldn't hurt anyone but give more credibility to the Spurs. All the cards are out on the table per se.

[MoSpur02]

I hope something does happen today. Hopefully not Philly. I don't like any of their players. Fultz is a huge question mark. Covington is overpaid. Sairic is decent, but we're talking about Kawhi Frkn Leonard.

[BatManu20]

I predict that nothing happens until after team USA mini camp later this month. I think the Spurs give it one last try to see if Kawhi can get control of his group.

Ultimately, Kawhi just wants to be competitive for a ring. Chances are this is going to happen. Sixers may have some nice assets to trade.

Besides, with Lebron out of the East, Kawhi with 76ers it automatic finals contender.

Anything can happen. With supermax money involved there are many reasons for motivation to work things out. I think it's entirely possible the Spurs have said 'it's yours' if you are healthy and onboard. He will have to play to prove it...even if just at training camp.

Still think Philly is the frontrunner if the decision not to keep him has been made.

If Siakam's jumper even approaches respectable, he's a starter, but you're still right. Worse, the Raptors, already thin at forward, wouldn't trade both Anunoby and him.

I don't know why people are getting worked up about this anyway. There's not a chance in hell the Spurs would trade Leonard for the most flawed "star" in the league, whose going on 29 and would cement them as a treadmill team for the foreseeable future. If anything, this is good news if the 76ers buy them as a serious threat (doubtful though).

Fultz and Ingram may never even become DeRozan, but at least with them and picks there's an unknown and a possible bridge to the future.

They would gladly shed Derozan's deal for 1 year of Kawhi + the possibility of convincing him to stay, but can't see them moving their young starters for the future for just 1 season of Kawhi(especially with LeBron being gone, they'll probably take a shot with their team, as is)

[BatManu20]

I'm still pretty confident he gets dealt to Philly.

The quality of that trade hinges mostly on how well you think anunoby will develop. Similar height, build, wingspan as rookie kawhi. His rookie year was very similar to that of Kawhi's right down to the defensive specialist whose shooting came along much better than originally thought. If the front office thinks it can develop him the same way as it did kawhi you make that move.

I agree with your assessment on Siakam, dude is very underrated. He's fast, long, and has demonstrated that he can make plays on the move.

[Baam]

I'm ready for something to happen.

Philly is the only move. They have the medical info, they have a big market, they have the assets, they have a free road to the Finals for the next 5 years with Kiwi and Brett Brown is terrified of getting schooled by Stevens again.

If Uncle Dennis has any brain he saw what going to the Finals every year did for Bron...

Even if there'd only be something like a 2% chance, I'd still do DeRozan and Siakam, if I were them.

The alternative is continually banging their heads against the wall with their aging, flawed stars (their young players are good, but all role players) or trading them for mediocre returns, since neither has great trade value.

Outside of fluking into one picking in the 20s, this would be their only chance of getting a superstar and they'd have almost a year to recruit from the inside.

Nah. Anunoby will more than likely top out a 3 and D wing/complimentary starter. The problem is, all this team would have in the way of focal points, are an aging Aldridge and a flawed/peaked DeRozan.

:lol Houston’s so fucked. Their cute little team will probably have another cute little regular season but that’s about it.

[Pavlov]

The Spurs PR team is so bullyish. I'm honestly surprised no one has called them out yet except for a few woke peeps
Some people get called out and pretend it didn't happen.

The nerve, right?

[HarlemHeat37]

Well, good news is Houston is getting worse..bad news is the Warriors path is getting easier:lol

Horrible of them to not make a deal when you specifically said it’s a done deal and that he’s been on a plane for almost two weeks. The audacity, really. How disrespectful to your credentials, PinoyMarauder/Mr. Palisoc.

This is the guy who supposedly has information on Kawhi Leonard. I wouldn’t mess with him. Hide your aunts.

[DPG21920]

Kawhi going to Philly would make the East far more interesting than the West IMO..

A Boston-Philly bloodbath would be way more entertaining than watching the Warriors against a bunch of decent teams:lol

For sure. Kawhi is a real douche but as a basketball fan I would love seeing him on PHI. Embiid/Kawhi/Simmons is an insane defensive unit.

I’m very annoyed that freaking Fultz is apparently holding this up. Really PHI??

to be fair im pretty sure thats a copypasta

we did have some fun with it though

[BackHome]

If it’s Fultz then it has to be a three team deal cause this kid is not even close to Spurs material. No way Pop is spending
his last years coaching another K-Y god forbid we have him on our team. I still think Phillys an almost done deal I think the hold up might be where Fultz lands as far
as third team which probably involves draft picks

[spursistan]

Its happening boys!!!!!

Kawhi about to drop 50 in opening night against the Spurs

Which team? What "done deal" got done again?

[SixersFan]

He is trolling he is so bad they keeping him out of summer league.

Seen this said alot, he was kept out of the summer league to continue to repair his shot with his personal trainer, Brett said this was the likely outcome about a month ago. Has no impact on his future which will be in Philly. We've been very consistent Fultz won't be part of the trade alongside Embiid and Simmons.

[ace3g]

Spurs have to get a starting caliber SF back if they trade Kawhi - as simple as that.

It won't be Fultz he's not being traded so you don't have to worry. I think it'll be Covington/Saric/Filler+Miami Pick, Sixers 2019 pick, rights to Kings 1st 2019 protected pick.

Spurs need to heed their own advice and get over themselves with this Spurs material nonsense. That was fine when they had an all-time core and about as good a chance as any team to win the championship in a given season. Now, they're like most teams, who need to do whatever they can to acquire front line talent.

I could understand not wanting to touch a Cousins, but if they don't want Fultz just because he's not Robinson, Duncan, Ginobili or Parker (who is?) or because they think they have their PG of the future in Murray, that's insane.

No :lol

[gambit1990]

i think he's going to philly.

[MoSpur02]

I would rather have Brown, Morris, plus the Kings pick

[apalisoc_9]

No point in debates since its a done deal tbh.

Just tank next year

[tonight...you]

True... no point in debating anymore.

This is my first post. Checking to see if I have permissions to post.

Anyway, I can't wait for all of this Kawhi drama to be over with.

I am obviously new to this message boards.

Are there any legit, respected insiders on this board? If so, who are they?

Is there any truth to the Philadelphia rumor for Kawhi?

Hated to see TP leave. End of an era for sure.

Hope ya'll are good.

Go Spurs!

[Mugen]

Gonna flip flop again, they need to ink this POS to a supermax.

I'd give the farm to him, the only thing that would be a dealbreaker would be a no-trade clause. I'd even make Becky sit on Dennis' lap courtside if that's what it took tbh...

[HarlemHeat37]

Murray/White
Mills/Belinelli
Covington/Gay
Saric/Bertans
Aldridge/Gasol

Much better than last year's team, but limited upside..really need to include Fultz in this deal..

An article for those who think we'll trade Markelle, I'm so confident in his ability i'd be prepared to walk away from a deal and I think Brett Brown feels the same if it ever got to the point Fultz was needed to secure Kawhi which is why I know he won't be included if we get him which I'm growing in confidence we will.

[spursistan]

Last season was their best shot at a ring; I think this is gonna end ugly for Houston. Melo and MCW :lol..

Who do you plan to get him with, Saric and Covington on an awful contract?

Go Spurs! Welcome! You just have to judge for yourself about who knows what. There is a lot of trolling regarding player fans, but also a lot of good information. Obviously these are strange days with a lot of uncertainty. Interesting summer!

[Mugen]

:lol Fultz isn't even good, it's basically just a way for the franchise to save face...if they can't even pull his bust ass in a deal then they should just let Kawhi walk for nothing next season tbh

ah, didnt realize danny was part of that deal. backcourt did seem a bit thin on that depth chart

Honestly he’s done such a great troll job it’s admirable. How a Filipino who made it up to Canada and without any solid sources somehow gets quoted by Lakers Ground (granted it’s a pathetic fan base) is beyond me. Palisoc created a sense of community by making people hate him in unison. Troll master class :bobo
