Blood in the water.
Magic obviously got word that good chance Kiwi will be on the table to visit/negotiate at least...Supermax or bust tbh.
Or maybe LBJ will be available for PATFO instead
Blood in the water.
The Spurs better not even think of lowballing Kawhi. If they don't offer supermax they deserve to lose him to LA.
Told you guys that Kawhi is LA bound. Lakers will be nasty in a few years with their young players and Kawhi.
if he doesn't sign it he's good as gone tbh. would have to trade to LA over summer for Clarkson/Randle and a pick
ST logic: leonard is done and will never be the same player again; unless he goes to another team, then he becomes a hall of famer again.
Let's hope that PATFO can sell Kawhi on playing with 37 year old Parker, 40 year old Gasol, AARP member Manu, Ma Touches and 50 Mills in 2019.
Wait, that's next year, holy .
I love ST logic
Kawhi is unhappy with his roster and front office but wants to go to a front office with Magic Johnson and to a team that without Kawhi is worse than his current team without Kawhi
Magic doesn't give up on LeBron unless he's hearing things about 2019 and Kawhi, tbh
No way in I'd trade him. Even if Kawhi turns down the supermax extension and says he's walking the Spurs will still have a year to try to convince him to stay. Kobe demanded a trade but the Lakers went out and got Gasol and convinced him to stay when he looked gone. I mean how many times do you see a star player start trashing his team to random fans? If that situation was salvageable then the Spurs would still have a chance. There is absolutely nothing the Lakers could offer that would make me trade Leonard. Clarkson + Randle + a late first are all compete crap, I would rather lose Kawhi for nothing if he walks.
We're talking two seasons from now though. Murray doesn't look like such a great prospect while LA has some decent young talent in Ball, Kuzma, and Ingram plus they'll likely have capspace to go after Klay Thompson or Jimmy Butler too. Plus they're in Kawhi's hometown. Anyone who doesn't take them as a serious threat to poach Kawhi is nuts.I love ST logic

if he walks and spurs get nothing, lma is probably traded or let go, Poop retires, and spurs become a 18 win basement dweller for years. you think the franchise could survive that without being relocated?? Can't afford to bottom out in a small market for that long. you have to at least get a Paul George haul tbh

George is looking more likely staying in OKC...
Boogie just tore his Achilles....
LeBron ain’t coming to LA by himself...
The situations with LA back then and SA now are way different without even getting into the fact one is LA and the other is SA. The Lakers back then had a couple really nice youngish pieces in Bynum and Odom, and the Lakers FO had a viable way to acquire talent to contend. Spurs have neither of those things on top of being an undesireable place to play.
You don't have to trade him to LA tbh. Plenty of teams out there that would sell their present and futures for Kawhi like the Kings, Knicks, Nuggets, etc. If he doesn't sign the extension you have to see what you can get for him since, as others have alluded to, the Spurs can't afford to fade into irrelevance for long.
B-b-b-but Lakers, what about the "tendinopathy"? (nudge nudge, wink wink)
Stay away Laker s
Lol Magic Johnson you dumbass
New York is not giving Porzingod and that's the only asset from any of those teams I would trade even a 5% chance of re-signing Kawhi for.
You're not gonna get a superstar back in a trade for a superstar tbh. If you can get a Top 3-5 pick in this draft, another solid first round pick, and a great young piece or two you consider yourself lucky. Losing Kawhi for nothing would be the end of this franchise.
Pretty obvious now that teams around the league have managed to get reliable intelligence on this Kawhi situation..In one way or another, it appears that a serious breakdown in his relationship with the team/franchise has definitively occurred over the past six months or so..
They would be foolish if they don't open extension talks in the summer---even if he doesn't play another game for the rest of the season-- and any dithering on Kawhi's part, you would have to seriously start listening to trade overtures. At that point, the game would essentially be up.
This.
I don't know why you're in such a hurry to give Leonard away for crap. Denver, LA, and NYK aren't going to have top 3 picks to trade and LOL at the idea of Kawhi accepting a trade to Sacramento to go play cherry picker D. If they hold on to Kawhi there's a chance he walks and they team is forced into a long and painful rebuild, but it they trade him that long and painful rebuild happens with 100% odds.
1- pos Kobe, Lakers are completely IRRELEVANT to the league as anyone can see in the last refusals of free agents
2- players want to stack talents and win no matter if it's in toronto or oklahoma
