Leonard's sacrifice to a wait is what made this LA trade possible.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

He makes more money by waiting.

Let's not confuse the issue with meaningless facts, Chump. You're attempting the pull this thread in a completely different direction than its intended purpose.

[Aztecfan03]

the spurs didnt offer him a contract, he didnt have a say in it

Exactly.

[K...]

Great point, OP, as usual..

Harlem, you know basketball, where did kawhi "sacrifice" it looks like he just played his contract. Of course he's massively underpaid, like green and Duncan. This is a weird team. But op is fundamentally wrong to say Leonard chose anything. He chose to keep his mouth shut about wanting the extension. Anyway, good for kawhi. Bad for op and Harlem to stoop to this level of trolling.....

Exactly. Sacrifice requires a choice.

Damn knowing the risk of Injury, he went ahead and just waited to give the spurs a better shot.

Danny-LA..all these players are possible because of Kawhi willingness to wait for the benefit of his team.

As annoying as a lot of your posts can be, this is actually spot on. Kawhi deserved a max deal at the begining of last year. I am glad he waited to give SA at least a shot at a LMA.

[Dre_7]

what alternative did he have? he didn't have a contract offer

He could have made a stink about it and threatened to sign elsewhere, thus forcing the Spurs hand. Instead, he said he talked to the Spurs and they made it clear what they wanted to do and he was on board with it.

That's not his personality type. That's just how he is, it's not a sacrifice

One could say the same for Duncan back in 2001.

I have numerous times stated that Kawhi will return after the LA series...

You also said Kawhi will leave the Spurs

carry on tho

another day same old stuff

You also said Manu was done a while back then he came back and carried for a ship in 2014.

He also said the mods threatened him (cuz chump) when there are no mods, lol.

There are mods actually. Some gets deleted or reworded. Normal talk isn't though. Chump does call the mods though when he gets picked on.

proof he calls the mods?

You people are so had. you get hardons from people lying to you for entertainment purposes. It's sad to watch you smiley your way out of grown up conversations. How do you do that in real life BTW?

[TXstbobcat]

How was it making a sacrifice when there wasn't an offer made by the Spurs at that time????????

[daslicer]

at the ridiculousness of this thread. I don't see how its a sacrifice when you are basically waiting a week or two versus a day to sign the max.

[DMC]

So the report goes.

[Mr Bones]

Yeah, but you guaranteed earlier in the year that Leonard was leaving in free agency, and you had a "source." What happened to that line of thinking?

I have numerous times stated that Kawhi will return after the LA series...

You also stated you would never post again.

That's why you don't "guarantee" things so early, and claim absolute certainty because you have a "source." But clearly, you have problems honoring the claims and guarantees you make.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

If you go back to last year, many of us, myself included wanted glad Kawhi waited b/c it put the Spurs in a spot to nab Gasol or LMA this offseason. Just might happen, but I was never in doubt he was going to get the Max. It was just all about the timing of things.
