Shams must be doing coke heavy rn, why is he posting this shit at 2 AM

[Jordan]

This is old. Didn’t Windhorst already say there was serious talks this morning?

He reported the talks were real. He didn't name players. Obviously something is happening here. Could be getting close.

[szkorhetz]

Mills+Pau+Green+Leo for OG+Demar+Jonas+2FRP, TBH. Swap some bad contracts.

[NASpurs]

Is Ibaka going to get shoved down our throats?

[Kuestmaster]

Let’s freeze uncle dennis and mute ass to death in Canada. Do it RC.

[slick'81]

Well atleast we know theyre talking

[NASpurs]

Some real shit is going down if Shams is reporting that they're talking. Wouldn't be surprised if it goes down soon.

[FireMicoHalili]

I hope Jabari and Uncle Dennis both enjoy long ass winters :lol

[99 Problems]

Yer baby yer. :flag:

[lefty20]

Good fucking riddance, tbh

[DJR210]

Is Ibaka going to get shoved down our throats?

:lol 6 years ago we would have been pumped

[DJR210]

Mills, Kawhi, Bertans, Paul, Pau, Green for Derozan.. get it done

*edit - take cunningham too

[cutewizard]

Its happening.

Happy New Year for the Spurs......

[NASpurs]

:lol 6 years ago we would have been pumped

Yeah same but six years ago the guy was in his mid 30s. Now the dude looks like he should be playing in the Big 3.

One Reddit poster thinks Ibaka is 31-34 years old :lol https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/49p2zw/is_serge_ibaka_actually_way_older_than_his_listed/
Ibaka downplayed it and essentially called everyone doubting his age as racists.

[NASpurs]

How the fuck do you take a screenshot of a story on Instagram? DeRozan is feeling slighted :lmao

The San Antonio Spurs and Toronto Raptors are engaged in serious talks on a trade centered around Kawhi Leonard and DeMar DeRozan, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Talks between the Spurs and Raptors have intensified in recent days, league sources said. The potential deal would bring Leonard, one of the NBA’s top players when healthy, to Toronto and send an All-NBA and All-Star caliber player in DeRozan to the Spurs. For key figures involved in the deal, it is believed only a snag in final discussions could slow the traction on completion, league sources said.

From the moment Leonard made clear his desire for a trade out of San Antonio, the Spurs have taken a patient, deliberate approach to finding a resolution. Several teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers (https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/lal), Los Angeles Clippers (https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/lac), Boston Celtics (https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/bos) and Philadelphia 76ers (https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/phi), emerged as suitors, but most NBA executives believed the Raptors presented the best potential current and future package.

Leonard is scheduled to enter free agency in 2019 and has no intention to commit to Toronto long-term, league sources said. DeRozan also has expressed displeasure toward a possible move, becoming aware of the possibility late Tuesday night, league sources said. (:lol )

[TimDunkem]

Seriously. That's all I really care about tbh. Moreso than a draft pick or Siakam.

[BillMc]

Does Uncle Dennis have a passport?

[Robz4000]

Real talk, send off DeRozan to another team tonight if he has that much "displeasure". Already want nothing to do with him as it is.

[BillMc]

Agree to a certain extent. Why is he so pissed? Better organization, better coach, better weather, better taxes. Toronto does have some fine women though.

[BatManu20]

1019500317958950912

[testies]

This. Why is he mad?

These mouthbreather players of today all they care about is their 'brand'

It's not a good look for his 'brand' or his ego that he's essentially getting traded for a 1 year rental :lol...

Although he also must be mad he's going into a very disfunctional sinking ship like the spurs

[BillMc]

DeRozan will come down with a mysterious thigh injury now....

[NASpurs]

:lol suck our collective dick faggot. Enjoy below zero weather.

1019500916880240640

[BatManu20]

Or Kawhi will fail or not show up to his physical tbh :lol

1019500977722920961

As opposed to the stable, successful team that is the Raptors???

[BatManu20]

:lol suck our collective dick faggot

Sorry faggot. You don't have a choice :lol

[BatManu20]

1019500977722920961

Damn. Sounds like there's a good chance we don't get him. That'll suck. Might be DeMar + Siakam instead

[BillMc]

Or Kawhi will fail or not show up to his physical tbh :lol


All he has to do is shout that the pain has returned. Since no one can find physical evidence in the first place, who can dispute it? :lol

[Robz4000]

Damn. Sounds like there's a good chance we don't get him. That'll suck. Might be DeMar + Siakam instead

Fuck that. Would much rather just let Kawhi go for nothing after sitting him another year.

[NASpurs]

DeRozan for Jimmy Butler. Do it RC!

[BillMc]

Sorry faggot. You don't have a choice :lol
:lol

Could have had the supermax in a no state-income state. Instead, regular max with Canadian taxes. How's that Uncle D advice suiting you now, Klaw?

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

DeRozan for Jimmy Butler. Do it RC!

Unfortunarely the last thing Minnesota need is DeRozan's albatross of a contract, they're already in cap hell. I'd much rather have Butler too.

Please get og

It obvious Spurs FO is sick of all this drama from Kawhi's camp and wants it over so they can focus on this upcoming season.

:lol bulshit. What respected analyst would expect an unprotected pick to swap hands in 2018. Especially since the snake might fake another injury.

[From Downtown]

I don't think Demar doesn't want to be a Spir, I guess he's just pissed at the Raptors FO because they probably told him he was a focal point for the team and now are lookjng to trade him, it's understandable
I'm not a fan of his game, but at this point I just want Kawhi away from here

[NASpurs]

http://thecomeback.com/crossoverchronicles/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2012/05/Gregg-popovich-thumbs-up.png

Pop at next week's training camp when he sees Kawhi for the first time.

Oh, you bet your ass RC is about to get taken out back

[BillMc]

Yes, in the sense we're giving up the better player. But RC is savvy.

The best way to think of it is in effect we're trading George Hill for DeRozen+assets and we got a ring out of it in 2014.

[TimDunkem]

Oh, you bet your ass RC is about to get taken out back

If Ol' RV Drunkford gives up Kawhi for DeRozan with only a guy named Yakob to show for it I will lose it.

FFS announce the deal already, some of us are on the EST.

[Robz4000]

Absolutely.

[SpurPadre]

Just trade trade his bitch ass before he breaks a leg, PG-13 style for Team USA, tbh.

This might be good for Kawhi, I hear Canada has more liberal treatment for mental disease, with cannabis oil and such

[TheGreatYacht]

RV Drunkford traded Diaw for a summer league scrub named Olivier :lmao and to top it off, it was to make room for the Spanish ostrich

Fluffers better get ready to polish the next pile of shit Buford is about throw at us....

[BillMc]

I wonder if Kawhi is beginning to doubt the wisdom of Uncle Dennis's advice yet?

[joeyjfive]

Well this is it folks.

[BatManu20]

Apparently, according to that Woj report, Toronto brass told DeMar just last week during Summer League that he wouldn't be traded... that's why he's so pissed. Understandable tbh.

[Uriel]

From a purely basketball perspective, this is a bad deal for the Spurs. DeRozan is a downgrade from Leonard. We would go from being the 2nd best team in the NBA to the 3rd best team in the West (and that's being optimistic).

[slick'81]

Come on og and derozan

[TheGreatYacht]

Toronto will be a good place for Kawhi, tbh. Great city (1Mx better than the creek), white women, a Jordan ambassador sitting court side every game that can help seal a new shoe deal, has a better chance of making the finals than he would out West, etc

Id love nothing more than for him to stay there and pull a PG13. Lakers were hesitant to even throw in Josh Hart for you, and gave up chasing you the minute LeGM got in town. Those cholos don't deserve you bruh.

[NASpurs]

The sky is blue. Water is wet. What is your point? Kawhi isn't going to step on the court for the Spurs again, and the deals available are just going to get worse. We all know Pop will not commit to the tank. This wasn't the best outcome by far, but it's likely as good as it's going to get.

[SpurPadre]

Yeah, we are 7th in the west with Leonard, so any player is an upgrade compared to this quitter.

[SpurPadre]

And for all we know, Kabitch has reached his peak and will go the way of Grant Hill, who at least had more balls than him, tbh. Good riddance.

[NASpurs]

Let’s be real, the Spurs were going to get fucked either way but at least Toronto bought us dinner first I guess.

[duncan2150]

We should be happy to have derozan, we could have lost leonard for nothing next year or have a bad packages from phila, LA or Boston.

Best deal for us, we'll see what are the other parts of the deal but a first is not bad , OG will be good.... we'll see.

[TheGreatYacht]

Obviously we lose the deal but lets hope we get some assets

[Uriel]

I don't understand why the Spurs don't just play out the season and try to keep him. If the Spurs win 60 games and make the WCF, then offer the supermax next summer, why would Kawhi want to walk away from that? It's a win-win.

KAWHI WILL NOT PLAY ANOTHER GAME FOR THE SPURS.

What don't you understand?

[duncan2150]

Yes that's what i want say, OG will be a good asset if he's in the deal.

we'll see

imo they know that now or in february they will not have a better offer than the toronto one.

[TheGreatYacht]

From the toilet? I hardly see it.
He's leaving San Antonio, buddy.

[Uriel]

Because that's the situation he wanted out of last Summer?
Reports say he wanted out due to how the Spurs mismanaged his injury. If those reports are true, he didn't want out last summer. Besides, we couldn't offer him the supermax back then. Now we can.


KAWHI WILL NOT PLAY ANOTHER GAME FOR THE SPURS.

What don't you understand?
Says who? He's under contract. He has no choice but to play.

[SpurPadre]

Still sucks to have Bertans and Forbes on the roster but I'm excited about this deal...

[TheGreatYacht]

Yeah, Most Valuable Pussy, tbh.
You'll wish you had that pussy when you see the mid range barrage that awaits you next season :lol

[Uriel]

I continue to believe this whole situation is a product of the Spurs not wanting to offer Kawhi the supermax. Uncle Dennis threatened to have him walk after reports surfaced the Spurs wouldn't give it to him just like that, and the whole thing spiraled out of control from there.

Sadly you right because the Kawhi who we all loved and who loved us, left us for wotever reason and has not told us why at this stage.

God no

[SpurPadre]

That stiff Toronto cold can't be easy on the quad...

[L.I.T]

Fuck Kawhi. If Spurs get OG + Derozan they've done well for themselves. An All Star to pair with LMA during the transition period and a young wing talent to develop alongside Murray/White/Walker. Judging that Kawhi did everything he could to sabotage the franchise, this would be a solid haul.

That's how I see it and best of all, we're getting rid of a locker room cancer. Great news.

[BatManu20]

Woj probably already has the deal info. Just making us wait cause he's a dick tbh

[BatManu20]

Kawhi could still technically torpedo this whole thing by failing his physical, purposely or naturally. Wouldn't put it past him at this point.

[BillMc]

Raptors' "Kawhi introduction" press conference ought to be, um, interesting.

[Uriel]

What part of, he’s a toxic waste dump that the team no longer wants around do people not understand?

It’s not.

They don’t want him around. Have you not paid attention at all to what’s gone on lately? He’s toxic waste. He won’t sign the supermax.

He wants to leave. They want him gone. This isn’t hard.

There’s still a chance The Group can nix this. Fake injury information, refuse to suit up for press engagements, actually ask Pop they’re willing to stay this season, etc. Situation is already hilarious as is.

Prayers up for Pinoy Marauder.

You know, this is a common error in reasoning many people make. Kawhi and the Spurs are mad at each other today, which means they will be mad at each other forever.

Things look bad now, but we don't know how things will look in a year. Maybe they'll still be bad, but maybe they won't. Who knows?

[slick'81]

Are we there yet? Done deal?

Nope shit got real quiet:wow

Spurs have probably given Toronto permission to talk to Kawhi but no one can get him on the horn.

Kawhi or Kawhi's camp are asshole. They already fucked their employer for a year by not playing and being such a diva then requested a trade. Now they're about to trade him, still bitching about it.

Sigh!guess this is how the kawahi saga ends

Hard to believe isn't? We hoped that Kawhi will be leading the new era after Spurs' Big Three (Duncan, Parker, Ginobili) era legacy then turned like this.

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm one of the biggest DeRozan haters you'll find, but this would be a decent deal for what the Spurs are trying to accomplish right now..

Pop is going to retire in 2 years, he doesn't want to rebuild, they want to stay competitive, it's just reality, despite what the fans want..DeRozan makes the Spurs a probable 3 seed, maybe as high as 2, 4 at the lowest IMO..he'll choke in the playoffs as he always does, but the Spurs will remain competitive, at least..

[Kermit]

So who do we really want guys? og or siakam ? I dont watch much raptor basketball :lol both are similar in age,height,stats and where they were drafted

No news of him reaching out to the front office and his teammates telling them he’ll stay. On the other hand, lots of news coming from his camp saying he wants out and prefers Los Angeles. So which is it? Are you saying the Spurs lacked the diligence in fixing the relationship?

[NickiRasgo]

In before cutewizard spamming YouTube videos of Derozan...

[AFBlue]

Great deal if it happens. DeRozan keeps the Spurs competitive, Kawhi gets shipped to an Eastern Conference team, and as a bonus he'd have to "settle" for a max deal that's $80M least than the SuperMax if he chooses to leave next summer.

[Killakobe81]

I don't like DD but some positives spin...
SPURS will make him play defense and Chip can refine his 3 ball and though his contract is awful you have him for 2 years then he is a valuable expiring in year 3...
Other than that LOL :lmao
Yall turned Kawhi, Kyle Anderson and Parker in to DD, Beli and Dante Cunningham...

No, I'm saying the way things stand today could be different from the way things will stand tomorrow.

[Uriel]

I just feel like Spurs fans are so blinded by their anger towards Kawhi that they can't assess this situation rationally. They'd rather settle for a less than optimal scenario if it ensures that Kawhi will suffer than gamble for the optimal scenario, which involves having to mend the fences with Kawhi.

Look. I like this deal. It's a lot better than any other offer out there on the table. But if I had my way, I'd rather play the season out, get 60 wins and make the WCF, then offer Leonard the supermax the following year. I guarantee you he won't walk away from that.

[Killakobe81]

Losing Parker was a win:lmao

MAYBE so but if you submitted a trade of those three Spurs for that return... Even 2K declines that deal...:lol

Rationally that all makes sense, but unfortunately Kawhi isn't rational...

[acoelho1]

If OG is not included, this would be a bad deal. I get that this is probably our best offer but I rather roll the dice with Kawhi this year instead of a package without any true prospect.

Kawhi and his group forced this. This is also overall a win for small market teams given the circumstance. If they would have traded him to LA it sets the precedent that superstars can force their way to large market before the end of their contract. PATFO showed Kawhi it wouldn’t work.

The fans aren't the ones refusing to play and demanding a trade. Your posts seem to imply that if this board had a more positive attitude about Kawhi everything would be ok.

[cd98]

If Spurs are this close to trading Kawhi, there is no repairing the relationship.

[Obi Juan Kenobi]

I'm sure they tried their best but its hard to reason with a malcontent...

[PuzzBeterson]

From 0% income tax to 13.6% income tax and no supermax.

[Chillen]

Pretty sure Spurs FO wanted Kawhi a Spur for his whole career but this hailstorm of BS just won't stop pouring down and they feel it can't be fixed.

[ezau]

Not blaming the Spurs for pulling the trigger and hats off once again to RC and Pop for making this happen. Although DD doesn't have the same caliber as Kawhi, he'll make the Spurs more competitive than last year. Regarding Kawhi, I wish him all the best and if he wants to play with the Lakers after the Raptors, that's beyond the FO's control right now.

The FO did an excellent job taking control of the situation and in return, will get a solid SF who is in his prime and who could still improve. Will we beat the Dubs with an LMA/Murray/DD lineup? Probably not, but by giving up the team cancer, the Spurs have given themselves a shot.

[tenbeersbold]

Good riddance,let his dumbass freeze in Toronto,Patfo fixed his ass good lol

Also lol at anyone who thought that Patfo was trying to repair any relationship with Leonard,they were waiting for the best player and worst destination to send mutessa,how many millions did these clowns cost themselves, I've lost count its gotten so outta hand lmfao

:flipoff to everyone who thought I was trolling or making all this up

:bobo to EVERYONE because hopefully this ends soon. I'm tired of this whole thing.

The Spurs tried to keep him. Pop tried and tried to convince Kawhi to stay. He didn't want to. At all. Not sure if supermax ever got offered to be completely honest. From what I was told Uncle Dennis didn't want to give the Spurs any medical information until after the max was offered. The Spurs didn't were willing to offer it, but not until they felt 100% confident in his health and his attitude toward playing here. The Spurs did not want to trade him at all. I also heard Kawhi was a jerk to some players here.
Anyways...good riddance. Hopefully this gets done soon.

We were not going to win a championship anyways. Kawhi fucked that up by going AWOL. I couldn't see a scenario where the Spurs could make a trade that would make them a title contender outside of getting a superstar like Davis,Giannis, etc.

“Coming home....to me”

He better watch out, gonna have competition for that aunt of his. Oh wait, we’re talking about Kawhi not Parker.

A third string point guard, a bench forward and a forward who has the mentality of a 6 year old out, in an all star shooting guard, Walker, Belinelli, Cunningham, possibly a couple others. Yeah, let’s reference 2k to back up that winning argument.

[TheDoctor]

“Coming home....to me”
:lol

[baseline bum]

I don't understand why the Spurs don't just play out the season and try to keep him. If the Spurs win 60 games and make the WCF, then offer the supermax next summer, why would Kawhi want to walk away from that? It's a win-win.

Because he's a cunt.

Good call. I’m not sure how Kawhi can withhold medical info from the Spurs when under contract. HIPAA could make possible I suppose.

[Keepin' it real]

He traded yet?

No

with OG it's a very good deal because of the situation, but without him it stills a good/correct deal.... Now Derozan is a way better add than OG, i like OG upside, size ..... but he stills has a lot to improve.

[baseline bum]

Kawhi could still technically torpedo this whole thing by failing his physical, purposely or naturally. Wouldn't put it past him at this point.

Hard for him to do after his 100% health claims.

[NameLess Scrub]

In before we get swept by the Lakers.

[baseline bum]

He's the 2nd best player in the NBA when healthy. Just because there's friction between him and the team today doesn't mean there will be next year when we're a 60-win team that makes the WCF. Reconciliation is possible.

Zilch. Have a feeling both sides went to bed after it leaked.

[barbacoataco]

If this happens it is good for Spurs. DeRozan is a true Allstar with s couple years left on his contract. Leonard is shipped out of the conference and punished by having to live in cold weather and pay high taxes.

I really think Kawhi has a chronic injury and the Spurs are lucky to get an Allstar player who is more of a sure thing in exchange for him.
