Young: sources tell @ExpressNews that Kawhi Leonard wants to be traded from Spurs

[FkLA]

That's even more true after hearing his group pulled some DeAndre Jordan .

Can you elaborate?

[ernest787]

yeah. what is Kawhi going to do if he gets traded to Sacto? Sit out another year

[palangi]

true but trumpards are running out of excuses for Kawhi behavior tbh... so even if he stays a Spurs.. no laughing their ass off

Ha... this is trump fault now?
Someone has major trumpsyndrome

[offset formation]

all those kawhi s and their..."I'm going to laugh my ass off when the posters who called out Kawhi will root for him next year"

And this board is nothing compared to r/NBA/Spurs.

So many pathetic folks over there. I think for many, it's their first real disappointment in life. I got destroyed in there for having the temerity to question Kawhi or his actions. And I was very tame over there by comparison.

[BillMc]

While I don't doubt he wants out, do we know they actually had the meeting?

[Mugen]

Even if this is a power play by the posse, what a ing stupid power play.

If their main goal is the 219mil, there's no better way to sabotage that than to piss the Spurs organization off enough to just get rid of this idiot and his got ass group.

They've likely cost their client 80+ mil and he's going to have to play on some ty team next season because the Spurs sure as aint trading him to the Lakers

[picnroll]

What ing betrayal? Dip is a first class . Spurs should sue his ass for breach of contract and get their $19 million back.

To what purpose? His Laker window would be closed. They'll be capped out after their signings this summer. He'd better play his ass off, wherever he goes. He's playing for his next contract.

[FkLA]

They haven't spoken in person per reports, which is odd.

So either he's a snake of epic proportions that had Pop and Timmy fly up there only to release his trade demand via the media prior to the meeting. Or it's a power move to say supermax or GTFO.

I just read they’ve yet to meet in person. So I’m not exactly sure if Kawhi texted, Skyped, or what. Kinda stupid.

nah. I'm agreeing. I'm on a work computer and the laughing emoji didn't post

The used their weasel, Jabari, to leak it.

[BillMc]

Such a healthy dynamic

Won't even have the sit down. I don't care what the Spurs "did" to him, this is worse than LeBron playing video games while Riley was talking to him summer of 2014. A least LBJ met with him and at least he was a bleeping FA.

It will be interesting to get the details. (Was the Super Max offered, etc. It'll take months to get all the details.)

Very depressing. Don't want Ball and his dad. Ugh.

[exstatic]

nah. I'm agreeing. I'm on a work computer and the laughing emoji didn't post

Gotcha. I'll post one for you.

[FkLA]

I mean it is kinda odd that Jabari Windhorst tweeted that the Kawhi James-Spurs tensions had cooled and all signs pointed to an extension. Then, Spurs tell Woj that they aren't going in there to instantly offer the supermax. Then this comes out. Could certainly be a power move.

[Gino20]

Jabari is such a damn tool! Earlier in the morning he was sending cryptic Tweets about how Spurs fans are so spoiled and how there was going to be some excitement, or something along those lines.

Cheers guys.

Not happy about this at all.

[spurraider21]

the "betrayal" is the spurs not having his back throughout the season, deserved or not. Pop constantly saying "i dont know, ask his camp" instead of saying "he's not ready to come back, we support his rehab" etc. like "dnp - injury return management" instead of "dnp-quad"

saying "he's been cleared since february, its up to him"... manu/tony making comments that were clearly directed at him

you could certainly say kawhi didnt deserve to have that support, given his actions. but that's probably what he's referring to, generally. i brought these up as bad signs when they were going on. there's also a lot of blame on kawhi for not really being part of the team, completely hiding from the media all season to help clear the air. but if you're looking from his perspective, you have a team that was publicly questioning his injury and commitment

Agreed!

Go Vegas Spurs Go!!!

TRUTH FUKIN BOMB. Was about to post the same thing. Pop ed up sending his weasel Parker to throw kawhi under the bus. It was cheap and unnecessary.

[HarlemHeat37]

I'd rather take the 2 Clippers picks and Harris than the Lakers deal, sadly..

All of that is just so he can save face. Otherwise, the truth is pretty damning of him, how he essentially held out the entire season, quit on his team and is now demanding a trade out. This and his group are amateur hour tbh.

everyone here is ting on parker's comments... but none of you spanish speakers are throwing shade at manu for doing the same
