Kawhi wants to play with LeBron either in SA or LA- Cris Carter

[coachmac87]

This is a pretty big stretch. Carter has already admitted that he knows Kawhi's group, so that's obviously where this is coming from. This story is all about fixing Kawhi's reputation, not his trade value. Look at how the media and casual fans finally turned on him this weekend. And now look at how quickly Spurfan got back on Kawhi's side at the mere mention of LeBron. The Spurs just got outsmarted here. Kawhi wins either way now.

This is a pretty big stretch...

I don't believe in this rumor but I do find it funny that if it's true the Spurs end up with Lebron right as his prime is ending. It seems like the normal trajectory which is the Spurs always end up with guys who are past their primes.

Could always be worse, i rather get a star as it fades away them never to have had them at all...

[HarlemHeat37]

LeBron always does this, it's nothing new..he leaks rumors of a batch of teams he's "considering" joining, but never actually considers them..last time it was the Knicks, Bulls, Clippers/Lakers, Cavs and Heat..

This time, we've already heard Lakers, Warriors, Rockets, Spurs, Sixers and going back to Miami

[spurs50_]

I don't think LeBron has gotten over himself...

[coachmac87]

I feel bad for posters here, tbh..first they thought Lebron was coming, then they believed Durant was coming, then it was Chris Paul, now it's LeBron again..none of them have even actually considered the Spurs in the past..Jesus..

Other than Aldridge, their biggest off-season moves the past 20 years have been re-signing Mills and Gasol

Well getting the Top FA in LMA when it was speculated will do that to you...

I do find the hypocrisy in this forum on both sides tho..so many bags in here

[DeRozan m8]

Called it earlier


LeBron has already made the call to Kawhi.

Like wade and bosh that time.

[UZER]

This is more of a LeBron leak than Kawhi. HE wants to play with Kawhi.

[Chillen]

I have to admit it would be interesting to see how far a Pop coached team with a big 3 of Leonard/James/Aldridge would go. Leonard/James as a dynamic duo is scary good though.

[HarlemHeat37]

I could buy LeBron wanting to play with Kawhi..

LeBron is very manipulative and calculated, every move he makes has a purpose..Kawhi is weak and easily manipulated, along with being shy and socially awkward, it's a perfect fit..he's an easy target..

remember when you thought he was staying in miami

[BackHome]

This is just a big smoke screen to take heat off Kawisha.

[HarlemHeat37]

He gave them the impression that he was staying, which has been confirmed by Pat Riley, LeBa and other Heat insiders..

But why can’t it be true?? Doesn’t have to be in SA...


But as CC said in the video the easiest place for it to happen is SA..

I obviously hope it's true..I'm just saying, we literally do this on this forum every off-season and none of these guys ever actually consider the Spurs

this big three would be literally unbeatable, whether in SA or anywhere else, it would be impossible for any current team to face this team

[TheGreatYacht]

I truly believe Kawhi will be traded to Philly and then Lebron will sign there. Either that or Kawhi gets traded to LA and Lebron signs with Houston.

King ain't coming to the creek folks.

Aldridge is going to be content with being a 3rd option after asking for a trade a year ago because he didn't want to be a 2nd option?

Agreed Lebron is an attention .

[Pauleta14]

Tony's expiring 15 millions, Danny expiring 10 millions and if Lebron really wants to come you just cut Gasol's 17 millions. that should make enough room, doesn't it?

Either way, pipe dream.

Definitely...

And if Lebron comes, Green would propably wanna stay, they are buddies and he has a player option.

So definitely impossible

good question, but playing with Kawhi and Lebron would be something that even he could not refuse would be the closest thing to pippen / jordan we would watch

[HarlemHeat37]

This attention Great Yacht needs to stop quoting himself...

Get a life got

[Ice009]

Pop is the goat

Look at the stark contrast in both Carter & especailly Jax in talking about Pop and the Spurs and Kawhi. If they are connected (as people said before) then this has to go a LONG way to putting people at ease.

You know what I believe started it? When Pop made that joke about Coach Brown keeping Jax from beating him up and then said just kidding, love you Jax.

I honestly think that softened Jax up made him think about things and maybe even did some calling/research about the situation.

When was this?

[HarlemHeat37]

In this hypothetical fairy tale world, I'd rather use him as a trade piece to free salary, he's one of the Spurs' few assets..LeBron/Kawhi would just need shooters around them and a big that does the dirty work(and 1 guard who can create at an above average level, doesn't have to be a star)..

[lmbebo]

Pop's politics tbh

Pop's politics - prob has more players behind him than not. It prob endears more players to him because of his politics if you think about it.

Fans are all over the place. I'm guessing you aligned yourself with that washington post article yesterday?

[coachmac87]

I obviously hope it's true..I'm just saying, we literally do this on this forum every off-season and none of these guys ever actually consider the Spurs

I dunno if I can agree with the last part..,Spurs being considered or being the favorite are different..

CP3 and KD both publicly stated Spurs were considered and tbh were “Plan B”
