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

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Love how people on other forums are asking if Kawhi has joined the church of Scientology

Spurs had more fake injuries (Kawhi) than anyone else.

This could all be cleared up if Kawhi would just go and either agree with rumors or say no truth to the rumors. People like Jabari say he’s running the ship and yet we have yet to hear anything from him since around March-April. The hate for him will be Durant level when it comes to SA fans next year if he gets shipped.

Spurs had more injuries (Kawhi, Rudy) than anyone else.

Obviously with Kawhi they're top 3 or so, but with him on his way out they won't be there unless key injuries happen. This team simply lacks the talent.

Hah! That's kind of random line of question.

crazy cause the spurs have taken care of him every step of the way tbh. traded to acquire him during the draft. didnt force him into a role he wasn't ready for. when he earned his way past RJ, they plugged him in as starter and traded jefferson. his role expanded with time. pop called him the future of the franchise after his rookie year, but even then never pressured him with a role he wasn't ready for. pop had to push him to be assertive on route to him getting a finals mvp. when he became lead dog, they went and got an elite second option. still kept his minutes in check. and they maxed him out along the way, too.

undeserved tbh

What is so frustrating is this a guy the Spurs identified in the draft. Who's radar was he really on other than the Spurs? Leonard is not someone anyone thought projected to be some future franchise player in the NBA. The Spurs have put in years, molding, mentoring and developing him. I go back to Pop pushing him to be more aggressive in the 2014 finals, and Leonard telling him "Thanks for pushing me" as they hugged during the celebration. Duncan mentoring this guy his last few years with the team, letting him know, "This is going to be your team". The whole coaching staff putting so much time in with him. And now in the prime of his career age 27 when it can all really pay off, everything goes south and he wants out of here. So someone else could possibly benefit from all the hard work the Spurs put in with this player. Makes me sick..

From the House of Strauss podcast:

Highly unlikely Spurs trade Kawhi Leonard before July 1

“Very unlikely…. Not gonna happen…. Unless there’s some ‘knock your socks off’ offer on draft night that we don’t see coming. At this point I really don’t think the Spurs are even entertaining it…”

Not to mention when he got "zaza-ed", Pop took the long view and didn't push him back in on a bad ankle later in the series. (Reports are he could have played in Game 3 or Game 4 if needed.) Yet he doesn't trust this coach. Imagine Kawhi playing for Tibbs? "You're okay, Kawhi, just a hemorrhage, get back in there."

that's what I heard as well. Spurs aren't even treating this like a trade request unless they hear it from Kwahi himself.

"Kawhi, would you like to be traded?"

"Yeah, for sure."

[kjhip1]

Bout damn time, so there’s gotta be serious smoke to trading him for draft picks if this is happening before draft

[Leetonidas]

Old man's gonna try one last time eh? Admirable but this traitor tbh. Can't wait for this bum to be traded

[LakerHater]

If Coach Pop pulls this off.....

[Hoops Czar]

"Kawhi, would you like to be traded?"

"Yeah, for sure."

" Let me ask my uncle."

[BackHome]

Gotta give Pop some props for not letting his pride take over cause if it was me I would tell Kawhi to clean his own ass. No way in would I fly out all the way to La La land to have a two minute conversation with this fool.

[kjhip1]

" Let me ask my uncle."

[K...]

pop goes to leornards place, it's dark, he sees kawhi and walks in...BLAM uncle dennis with the bat knocks him out..."well that's that kawhi, i'm the coach now" "that's cool uncle, just call the iso over and over"

[ducks]

David Robinson should go

[Ron Swanson]

Shams one-upping Woj?

[Gino20]

I wonder if Pop thinks this can be salvaged? He must to be flying out to Cali on the eve of the draft. I don’t think Pop would do this if he thought it was unlikely. If the meeting was needed, just wait till after the draft and he patient.

[TheRemix]

Apparently they already met
