I don't se why he wouldn't but yes, tonight, Green & Leonard needed to be in that game far more than ginobili. I don't get why the black hole of basketball even saw any fucking minutes tonight. Anytime he steps onto the court, it's a guarantee loss and tonight proved it. So for everyone, be aware, the moment Ayres steps onto the court, Spurs are done.
I'm apathetic. He giveth, but he also taketh away. If we could deal him for a piece that is a better fit for the system, I'd be cool with it.
Impossible to find..Leonard is a dime a dozen tbh.Quote:

not that I agree with Barkley, but he thinks he's a top 15 player in the league and a huge load of analyst thinks he's a 20-10 kind of guy..Quote:

What's the point in staying with a team that plays you 29 minutes when you're 22?
This is like the tenth time this lame thread's been made. He's not going anywhere unless the Spurs let him go. The extension negotiations are going to be interesting, though.
Leonard spends almost no time in front of cameras. Do you think he would want go to
a big media center like NY or LA. and hounded for a quote. He looks like Pop is
training him for interviews.
The spurs doesn't strike me as a team that will forcefully keep a player that wants to move...Quote:

No. They'll match whatever Leonard gets unless someone blows them away with a S&T offer. They may trade Leonard, but they won't let him walk.Quote:

I can see some stupid GMs making that offer, tbh.
Exactly this. He's essentially in the team's control for the next 6 or so years unless they decide to trade him away. And he's certainly NOT a dime a dozen. He has his flaws but is one of the most unique players in the league.Quote:

I guess he could always just take a qualifying offer for a year and avoid signing an offer sheet in RFA to be a free agent a couple of years from now... Much more likely the team gives him a 5 year extension (only one allowed per team under CBA).Quote:

Only a few teams will have the money and the patience to extend a $10+ million offer that the Spurs would almost certainly match. Offers that the Spurs might not match would be well above that and even fewer teams are in that boat. More than likely, he's extended before next season's deadline.
Remember Batum?Quote:

85 in 5..You think the spurs would even match?
I can totally see some dumbass team making this mistake
Not a crazy question. Why would Leonard stay in SA? He is part of the big four, everyone realizes there is a big four except Pop. I am thankful for what Pop has done, but right now he's driving this team and franchise into the ground with his arrogance.

Not to mention the fact that his role will increase significantly post-Duncan&Manu tbh.Quote:

I definitely agree that it's silly that people think Leonard's in a position to make all these demands and that the team could be desperate to cater to them.Quote:

OP is definitely retarded. Whether Leonard stays or leaves is ultimately up to the spurs since he will be a restricted FA in the summer of '15. It seems like you are hoping he does leave and become a 20 pt scorer on another team so you can scream and say " I told you so Pop is stupid look at how great Leonard is now." Leonard has a solid post up move he uses a lot now and his jump shot is decent along with his slashing skills but he still has a long way to go before he can become a 20 pt scorer in this league. I will say go get some tampons and stuff them up your ass since you are suffering from a severe case of PMS after this game 6 loss.
