Stephen A Smith: "From what my sources told me, Kawhi Leonard met with Gregg Popovich face-to-face, looked him dead in the face and told him 'I don't want to be here. I don't want to be in San Antonio any longer.'"

I hope Pop told him his agent better find a three way deal to get the Spurs something they really want if he wants to get his trade to the Lakers then. Because until then he is under contract to the Spurs.
I thought the latest news was that the meeting was “good” between Pop and Kawhi
This suggests the opposite
I hope hope HOPE the trade rumor about Kemba Walker and Kevin Love coming here aren’t true. Love is the white Aldridge and Kemba Walker is upper mid level talent
If so, make him play out his contract and let him walk. He's undermining his trade value and after last season it's apparent he had already quit on the team. If he doesn't show up to play, suspend without pay.
Stephen Smith is heavy on the dramatics. There’s still nothing new. I sincerely feel Kawhi wants out because his camp is not denying rumors, and they’re working on agreeable trade. I am disappointed but still hoping for the best. I can’t wait for the draft and what Spurs can do to swing their way. Spurs need a lockdown defender to slow down Durant. And better shooters to surround LMA.
based on the offers we're supposedly getting, absolutely.
For what? They'll only face him 3-4 times a year and all in the regular season.
Yeah, we're not going to participate in any sign and trade/extension then trade scenario unless we get a good return. It will cost you to leave.
Things that seem apparent and not necessarily mutually exclusive:
1. Leonard wants to go to LA.
2. Spurs never wanted to supermax Leonard.
He will be traded by tomorrow night imo
I think Spurs will make the playoffs. And eventually will face Dubs. We need a prototype Kawhi to defend Durant and knock down 3’s. I’m not sure what Spurs are trying to get back for Leonard but Spurs are thin on offense, barely scoring 90’s with its current roster. That’s too much load on LMA and hard to trade baskets with Dubs/Houston.
Like the spurs (or anyone) is gonna even competr with GS for the next couple years
With Kawhi wanting to get traded I have accepted the Spurs are out of contention for now. Spurs need a superstar level SF or SG to be able to compete with the Warriors which they won't have once they get rid of Kawhi.
If Kawhis group was expecting the Spurs to give them the Super Max last year that would be a little odd unless it was discussed a while ago. Second, if the Spurs believe Kawhis group is just wanting the max only to force a trade down the road, if course the Spurs wouldn't do that. I dont think there will ever be any clear story on what really happened because it's obvious the Spurs believe Kawhi and his uncle orchestrated all this and Kawhi is blaming Spurs for not trusting him. How can we know exactly what Kawhi was thinking or feeling. He is not going to rat on himself.
If it is inevitable that Leonard will end up in LA, I would put him with the Clippers before Lakers. Take both Clippers first round picks, Tobias Harris, and sign and trade Harrell.
Absolutely, and let Magic do a bidding war. It’s a good strategy, he said he wants to be in LA, meaning he would likely sign a extension with Clippers and leave Magic scrambling, especially if Houston gets LeBron and Lakers only end up with PG. It’s good leverage for a lot of other offers. LeBron could even consider the Clippers if they build it well.
If Kawhi really did that, then that's good news going forward. The meeting itself is good news as Pop will have clarity on how move forward on this thing.
agree and draft night will shed some light on what direction Pop will go
Clippers, Cavs, Celtics, and Sixers are the teams to see if any will come with an offer that will jump start a rebuild.
The Spurs have the leverage of time and Bird Rights.
This draft is deep. A couple of lottery picks plus Spurs own picks can get Spurs on track quick. Sign and trade to Clippers so Magic continues salivating for him for years. By 2-3 years Spurs should be in contention.
Oh and sign Zaza in case we meet Kawhi next season
Well I guess Boston is a better organization than us if that’s the case.
