Maybe because he's getting paid millions to play a game...
That same welfare that flyover red states receive from blue states, amirite?

Truth bomb.
All this stuff is relative. Josh Jackson could be the next Kawhi but today it would be viewed as a loss. Only with time and hindsight do opinions change.
They could get the number one pick and it be viewed as a great move but the guy is a bust and looks awful.
I’m just tired of Kawhi already; f him.
Your post didn’t mention anything about limiting it only to this summer. If you’re saying you’d be patient and hold out until trade deadline to get the best deal then okay I’ll agree. But gotta get something in return if he’s gone.
I thought towards the end of the year last year Josh Jackson was starting to get it. I'm not saying I'd want him to be the main piece with a #16 pick bc I don't think that's enough return at all, but I do view Josh Jackson as a somewhat valuable piece. If anything I wouldn't view getting him as much different than getting Jaylen Brown. Brown's a little more proven, but Jackson might have the higher upside.
Those scenarios are ing trash tbh. Just sit KL2 the whole year.
This is exhausting, at this point even if he signed, it would be awkward. I’m sure FO will get the best deal they can, but still it’s like pinning the tail on the donkey as to where he’ll get traded.
I want him to go a full year without new endorsements, no more local endorsements, no new contract, and just enjoy all the vultures sucking him dry as he mopes around. They have no other clients and no other hope. A full extra year of them living off of Kawhi, eating away at his money.
Suspension makes it even better.
He could have done it the correct way. He might get what he wants later, but that's for later.
Jackson + Bender + 1 + filler (Chandler, Knight, or Dudley)

KL + 18 would be a decent haul all things considered.

LMA
Looks for opportunities to move LMA if he so desires by Feb deadline.
Phoenix only interests me if its with #1, otherwise, pass on it.
Same with Boston. Kyrie has a worse injury history than Kwahi, not as good, etc. Only take him if with Tatum.
I'm not giving him away to anyone. If the offers remain crap by the trade deadline he can miss the entire season. The main point of suspending him would be to light a fire under Uncle Dennis' ass to make a preferred team come correct with a legitimate trade proposal that's not a complete ing under the assumption Leonard will go nuts not getting onto a basketball court this year. Though it would be funny to him over the same way he did the Spurs. That would be so much better than selling your BMW for $100.
Look, as much as I want SA to make Kawhi suffer, that’s not how it works. If teams aren’t biting because Kawhi is being a Kawhi, then you have to take what you can and hope Jackson turns into a star.
Well one way or another this controversy will be over in a couple weeks or a couple months.
I'll be glad when this will stop being a topic of conversation here local an national
Phoenix's roster is so ing bad, especially considering they have a 4th pick, 8th pick, 5th pick and 10th pick in relatively recent lotteries in addition to Booker and Jackson..
Their young pieces outside of those 2 are either complete scrubs(Bender), headcases(Chriss) or zero impact players(Len, Payton)..
Agreed.
No you don't. There is no reason to take a horrible deal prematurely.
He's under contract to play. Make him play until trade deadline and then decide.
Sixers have to get a offer in
What if they have zero confidence the offers will get better? And Kawhi becomes even more disruptive? You could hold him to spite him, but SA loved Josh Jackson.
Put it this way, would you view SA getting the #4 pick + #16 pick for Kawhi this year as a win?
Wonder if Leonard agree with extension before trade
Deuche bag Leonard can’t pull another exaggerated injury with the Spurs or his next contract will be for vet minimum. him.
If the Suns had one more decent piece to add(just a playable young player, for instance) to Jackson + 16, I'd take it..even coming off a terrible season, I'd take Chriss if there was any chance that Pop would ever coach him(but in reality, he would probably never even consider it )
I wouldn't let him play or be affiliated with the team in any way, I'd do what Phoenix did when they told Bledsoe to go home. That defeats the whole purpose of keeping him, which is to try to make him anxious enough to agree to an extension elsewhere so the Spurs might get a better offer. And if he doesn't so what, the Spurs aren't getting anything of value in these offers Manu4tes posted. Leonard on a one year rental here actually playing has negative value since he'd be a cancerous piece of and his play would hurt the Spurs draft positioning.
