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

[baseline bum]

Would Kawhi want to play on a team with Stephenson, McGee, Rondo, Kuzma who seems like a , and as of right now Ball?

Um yeah, it's Los Angeles and they'd be right there to beat the Warriors with that team.

[Spurs da champs]

yeah irving demanded out with james

Yup, not sure how LeBron's leadership of putting people on blast in games is gonna fly with this crew.

[Dex]

It’s like a team of Lebron’s enemies. They going to talk KG out of retirement

HERE COMES DELONTE WEST!

[Pavlov]

Did Eric cisneros disappear?

It's Eric Cisenrios. Get it right.

[ducks]

if leonard goes to la now there is more pressure now with the le
rumor was leonard did not want to play with james

[Dex]

yeah irving demanded out with james

In retrospect, Irving saw the writing on the wall. He knew LeBron was going to be LeGone, and now he's on the most talent/asset-laden team in the East with a clear path to the Finals.

Can the Lakers go over the cap to sign brook Lopez? I think they have his bird rights but not sure?

[baseline bum]

Right. Still no offer that appealing dating back to the draft. Making a move this second is just negotiating against yourself. Wait for free agency to play out and another team willing to take a shot at Leonard will emerge. Philly + Leonard puts them in a good spot to win the East.

The Spurs are 100% getting pennies on the dollar back now. This is the only scenario where the Spurs would have lost leverage (eg LeBron signing and being ok with a longer term rebuild) but it's the one that happened.

[baseline bum]

What's funny for months is everyone insisted to me that the Spurs would get great offers for Kawhi. I kept telling everyone that ing mute would torpedo his trade value by saying he'd only go to the Lakers.

But they get leverage with Kawhi's group about him willing to resign with another team

[raybies]

Where the laker fans at right now?? LoL this team an 8 seed and very combustible. Magic trying to finesse us... What was clippers offer again???

[MoSpur02]

All the Lakers need is Michael Beasley

[Marcus Bryant]

Then take someone else's crap and dump him. If he wants LA that badly then he can figure it out.

[007nites]

All the Lakers need is Michael Beasley

And Paul Pierce

How is singing Rondo and Lance signs of a longer term rebuild?

I get that they are 1 year deals but they're clearly trying to make a run this upcoming season

[Mr. Body]

All the Lakers need is Michael Beasley

And J.R. Rider and Vernon Maxwell.

at the moment, these signing have the fingerprints of GM lebron all over them.

If the 76ers and Spurs can't come to terms either because of the 76ers unwillingness to include Fultz or the Spurs unwillingness to accept him (especially if it's because of the notion of them being set at PG with Murray) or at least reroute him to the Magic or Suns, what a colossal failure it'll be on both ends.

The 76ers desperately need not only a 3rd star, but go-to scorer if they're going to be championship contenders. Unless they're confident in Fultz' becoming that, they need to take the plunge.

The Spurs should be immensely motivated to not appease Leonard and help the Lakers build a superteam, as well as avoid the treadmill of mediocrity that an Ingram and picks package would inevitably mean.

[ducks]

leonard would be dumb not want to go east he could get to finals


169 allstar appearances in west
69 allstar appearances in east


top 10 in nba 9 in west one in east

all nba teams west so much more

[SAGirl]

Lebron stepped in and the Lakers pulled that offer and are back to hard ball, which has been reinforced in leaks that the Spurs are receiving offers that are worse than b4.

if healthy, leonard becomes the best player in the east. surely, philly has to relish that possibility.

Well said..

Saw the same things when Durant went to GS from Spur fans.

[rjv]

they may have "considered" it but the impression i get is that it was never offered.
