Done deal he's staying or done deal he's going????????
Leonards camp would have to be incredibly stupid not to. He would be stupid not to sign for 200M.
Seriously, I have yet to see just how much more money he can make in endorsements in LA and just how guaranteed that is.
I definitely believe, and have said so since the very beginning, that the injury is at the forefront in this. Had he not gotten injured and he played at an MVP level, things would have been a lot easier. He would be worth a huge deal and the Spurs had to pay it or trade him. His trade market would have been strong. But just look at the season he had. He missed 73 games, missed the playoffs, missed training camp. disagreements over a mystery injury.
At one point, he got upset that he was even questioned about his injury. He asked: why else would he not play if it wasn't for the injury? The assumption that he was malingering upset him.

On the night of March 21, as Leonard walked through the corridors of the AT&T Center after the Spurs beat the Washington Wizards, ESPN asked him if the simplest explanation to this situation -- that he was hurt and genuinely didn't feel like he could play yet -- was actually the truest answer.
Leonard nodded, then said, "I mean, why else would I not be playing?" "People are just looking for spin," Leonard continued. "I haven't been here long. I've been here six years. The Spurs have been here way longer than that. People are gonna go with that take first."
Finally, a small peek into the window of his thoughts. But before Leonard could expound on it, a Spurs communications staffer -- who ostensibly could not hear what Leonard was saying but saw he was talking to a reporter -- abruptly ended the conversation.
He's entertaining tho.
There's no filter. You have to assume that these 'journalists' are merely parroting whatever they're told. What Smith passed along about Leonard threatening to hold out next year was provided to him at the moment when the Lakers thought they could force the Spurs into a trade. The Spurs passed and now what? Oh, he holds out? They were already being offered dog . Oh wait, now the latest seems to be hints that the group is open to talking with the Spurs... Can't wait to see GM Bron do another midseason line change.
Lies. Show proof. Never did this.
When is the deadline for signing the supermax deal? I imagine the Spurs only need to talk with him and he complete workout/exams to get the supermax offer. I still believe Kawhi just wants out and his amateur management has made the situation worse. They underestimated the Spurs front office stubbornness
So what's the done deal?
exactly
anyone thinking he actually knew what he was talking about
I contend he stands to make more dough in SA. In LA, he would not have an organization in cahoots with the media to shield him from exposure that he obviously loathes.
Greta Garbo of the NBA.
If we believe Jabari is a mouthpiece for Kawhi then Jabari said Kawhi wood resign with PHI. So how does PHI not jump?!!
Family is good but when your uncle is dabbling in real estate ventures making millions in one year then hires a sketchy immature young agent whose father is a real estate mogul and communication starts to break down because of a super max contract 2 years before his free agency... something smells fishy.
They don't want to give up Fultz, and Fultz is the absolutely least Spurs would ask for.
The done deal is that he's going to post every other day about a deal (clippers) and one day he'll be right.
What's stupid is that Leonard's reps are simply reactionary. I'm sure the Spurs' position is that we need to see him back on the court, recovered and committed before we make that kind of financial commitment.
'Well you, we want a trade, we will only sign with the Lakers in '19, we'll holdout.' So instead of negotiating and working towards $220 mil it's an immediate reaction of 'we're so mad you insulted his family that we're going to force you into a trade for nothing and we are going to leave $100 mil on the table.'
I know I’m asking wtf are they doing? If Kawhi will just entertain signing then how can you not offer Fultz?
People have better things to do then go scouring ST for examples of your BS. General consensus here speaks for itself, you're full of .
Maybe a combination of not trully believing that and questions about his health. No matter what happened with Fultz last season, we still have to remember that he's a year removed from being the 1st overall pick.
Lol... true.
the sixers have no chance against the celtics, it's ridiculous not to try trade when you already have simmons..... and fultz comes from the bench.
I don't understand how the celtics don't intend a trade with Kirye Irving when next year he is a free agent and he is likely to go to the knicks
Well their doc would have lots of info on his health seeing as he was being treated by a doc who is connected with Philly.
Winner. Both want to build an agency, Leonard is their major client. The timeline starts to make a lot of sense when you look at when they declined the Jordan shoe deal. The Spurs also probably started off with an offer for some portion of the supermax. Was it $175 mil? Understanding the injury dispute in this context is the way to look at it. Maybe there's something more there, but it looks like that's what it is, a ruse used to obscure the underlying conflict.
Amazing.
