    Right? How do you work with this for the next 4-5 years, particularly if he's your best player taking up the biggest chunk of your salary cap? It's way too much risk, I would think. In some ways this feels quite a bit like the Jonathan Simmons mess last summer--who also had an agent who had no idea what he was doing.
    Ha. I'd forgotten about that. Spot on. Buffoonery abounds.

    Vivek and Divac seems like the type of guys who'd trade the 2nd overall pick for 1 year superstar rental..

    What is the deal with the finger gesture? How does a middle-aged billionaire not know that he looks like a tool?

    So in retrospect, maybe Zsa Zsa is not so bad after all, exposing Leanord for the punk that he is.

    Hah! Of course. When you're a billionaire, you don't have to care.

    That'd be something. Waste away another year of your prime (after already sitting out one year) in NBA , and then end up losing $80MM of guaranteed money. It's as if his agent doesn't know how all this works at all...
    He doesn't because he's not a real agent. I bet there are actual agents out there just face-palming over this mess.

    I would love to hear Brian Elfus's take on all this...maybe Jabari can track him down for an interview?

    Force him to play his final year unhappy in San Antonio. Hopefully he pulls the same he did this year, then see how many teams will pay him max dollars after missing 2 straight seasons. Before free agency starts Kawhi gets Tonya Harding'd and destroys his career. No more money for poor Kawhi and entourage

    :, Jabari is such a tool.

    Unlike the other dolts in the local media, he's an aggressive tool.

    So the timeline the past couple days via sources was:

    Kawhi and Spurs mending relationship, expected to sign extension. Pop Kawhi to meet

    Spurs don’t plan on automatically offering supermax

    Kawhi wants out

    Kawhi wants trade to lakers

    Spurs not interested in laker assets, laker trade unlikely

    Kings and Suns rumored to offer/considering offers involving top 2 picks

    Maybe things can be worked out with pop/spurs

    It used to be that reporters verified with 2 to 3 other independent sources to verify what they've been "told"...that probably doesn't happen anymore...if you're only reporting what you've been told, then that's just being a human press release, isn't it?

    It's kind of awe inspiring to be honest. Successful autists are just some kind of unaware honeypot. Uncle Chuckle is gonna laughing all the way to the bank.

    I still think that the player he can't mention is just Danny Green

    That was probably it.

    The front office wouldn't tell him about a player they had colluded with to sign, not like there would be one.

    He doesn't have any connections other than Aldridge and he's not pulling anybody.

    He and the other media are clueless about overseas stash players and wouldn't consider any good enough to make Spurs fans spoiled but also wouldn't have to keep it secret.

    At least Jabari will be gone soon when this fiasco is over, leaving the local dullards who don't try to break stories or be a part of them

    I think Spurs will get a few quality players in exchange for Kawhi. I don't think he will give up a max 183M (If traded) for 140M max if he becomes free agent next year. Spurs will still be a legit contender as long as Spurs don't fold on Kawhi's demand.

    At this point, I wouldn't even bother trying to convince him to stay let alone consider offering the supermax. Kawhi and his camp's at ude isn't gonna change anytime soon.

    Trading him now is the best option imo. The Spurs don't necessarily have to give him what he wants and send him to LA. If he refuses to sign an extension with whichever team he gets traded to, he will lose a 30M more in guaranteed money on top of the 50M he's lost by not getting the supermax iirc. It wont be easy to make that money back in sponsorship deals even in a large market.

    The Celtics, Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and Sixers are all rumored to be interested. A lot of people are expecting the Spurs to get lowball offers but there are angles that could work in the Spurs favor. The Clippers, Lakers and Celtics hate each other, lowballing could send Kawhi to their rivals. The Celtics own the Kings 2019 pick (its protected iirc), but if the Kings get Kawhi, they could also get that pick back from Boston. The Celtics are already contenders but if the Sixers get Kawhi, that's another team theyd have to get past in the East.

    Bottom line, losing Kawhi sucks but we have options.
