Spurs are willing to do that...
Nothing that he's done indicate that level of smarts.
Spurs are willing to do that...
Leonard has been adamant that he doesn't want to step into the San Antonio locker room again, and the Spurs have been adamant that they won't be forced into a trade, or a timetable, prior to the February trading deadline, league sources said. No team talking with the Spurs about Leonard has found them to be in a rush to make a deal.
There's literally no point in reading too much into these leaks
They're going to come from everywhere now..Kawhi's people, the Spurs front office, the Lakers(Ramona Shelburne, etc), LeBron's team and even OKC is probably leaking right now in an attempt to keep George..
This is going to drag out forever, isn't it?
That's not what the post I am responding to said.
link the twitter account, DJ! It's from another no-name talking head at ESPN. The narrative is definitely being pushed now by BSPN.
Kawhi staying put would be an absolute disaster for the network
Cool with me. Give them anybody Pop wants. Just get er donePERIOD
It's from the Adrian Woj article
Kawhi staying put would be an absolute disaster for the network
The Spurs have to know that there is no need to rush. At All. Time is on their side. Just wait it out. They don't owe favors to anyone.
The league and its partners desperately want Kawhi to go to LA, or at the very least, Boston or Philly..Lakers would be more appealing for obvious reasons..
Their ratings held up surprisingly well after a predictable Finals, but still, they're going to need a team to eventually beat the Warriors..LeBron/Kawhi/George is probably the only chance and would be 10x bigger with the Lakers..
As objective said, the slandering is only going to get worse..
Just have to hold steady.
HIV's comments yesterday and the Woj reports this morning all indicate that Magic/Rob will go into panic mode like we've all been saying. You can wait these clowns out to get every possible asset they have to offer. Hopefully they can get some high lottery picks.
It's Kawhi and his idiot representatives that screwed it up
If he had a real agent who had a clue it would have been handled quietly and correctly and he'd be a Laker already.
Pop/RC has never kept a player from making more money somewhere else or from going home.
When Rodman was in debt and justifying a season long suspension with his antics, Pop sent him to Chicago where he'd win, make more in endorsements, and get everything he wanted. He shouldn't have, but Pop did that.
When Derek Anderson wanted more than the Spurs offered and couldn't get it from a capped out Portland in free agency, they did him the favor and took back a washed up Steve Smith so Anderson could get his money.
When Scola was desperate to play in the NBA with his prime slipping by, they traded him to a rival. They didn't have to. They could have kept him in Europe as punishment for badmouthing them and not taking their deal.
When they got Spanoulis back for Scola, and he cried about how he missed his mama and needed to go back to Greece, they let him go. They didn't have to, but they did.
When De Colo was the fourth string point and wanted a change, they moved him on.
When Finley was a washed up bum and losing minutes, he asked for release so he could join a 'contender'. They let him go.
When Corey Joseph was RFA and they could have forced him to play on the QO because other teams were scared off, they let him off the QO and he got himself a nice deal.
When Simmons was in the same situation, they let him go. They shouldn't have from an asset perspective. But he had never made real money at his age, and they did him the favor and let him go get money.
Spurs have ALWAYS helped players get more money or into a better situation, even when they shouldn't have, even when it hurt the team
If Kawhi wasn't a quitter who let his inexperienced vulture reps destroy the Spurs reputation and screw them preemptively, this would already be over
Trade that chicken already
Spurs going to get all they want and demand their punter like in Draft Day
Not sure if the League likes it actually. I didn't hear it directly, but I don't think Silver likes these super teams.... It diminishes the product. If you got great players spread out with multiple teams, increased parity. Right now parity is at an all time low. He basically said the league can only do so much to prevent it. They can't control players using free agency to create there own teams, to take less money or talk to each other.
Yes, I know.
thanksAmazing sig
Plot thickens after ESPN story. So Spurs fans would you take Ingram, Kuzma, Josh Hart, 2-1st rounders, J.Randle in a sign and trade for Kawhi and salary dump of a bad contract either Pau, Danny or Patty? Looks like Lakers upping the ante. Spurs won't take bad Deng deal.
i hate sending to Lakers, but this is not a bad deal at all. We get rid of Pau and not absorb Deng bad contract
Good. them. We’re not under any pressure to get a damn thing done right now.
My random opinion is that unless the Spurs get a great deal, he won't be dealt. I don't know what they consider a great deal, but it's not going to be a young player that looks iffy and hasn't panned out like Fultz.
I prefer that he stays but I don't know how he really feels. What he has said personally and it was little, was that he wanted to remain a Spur (in that interview in March).
At this point, there are many parties pushing agendas, Lebron's people, the Lakers, different "reporters" that have their own preferences, the Spurs, the Uncle, etc.
No.

no on Randle (don't wanna see the Spurs max him) and Hart; don't really want Kuzma or Ingram either. Those firsts better have a good chance of being top 10 picks or I hang up.

The only thing is once Lakers get Kawhi, they most likely get LeBron. !!!
Two high lottery picks, Ingram, Hart, and they take back a ty contract like Patty.
If they come to the table with that, then the Spurs should listen.
They'll have to dump Ball, Kuz, and Randle to get those picks so good luck to them. But you don't settle for anything less.
