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

[RD2191]

I want Tyreke Evans

Ha. Gay.

[DPG21920]

Kawhi can help the Spurs help him. Put pressure on La

[Ocotillo]

Good thing Lakers threw all that money at one year placeholders waiting for Leonard, with Butler saying he wants out they could have gone after him instead of KL.

Scared GMs don’t make good GMs

[pad300]

And a first, btw am i reading that right? Butler gives us alot more wins but Leonard gives them alot more losses

The calculation is weighted with minutes played last season...

[Baam]

So. Even if he reached his potential he would not be as good as Kawhi

Hm if he fullfills his potential that means he's Harden so that's a MVP level player.

I don't see that with Brown and Tatum, only Ingram and Fultz can get to that level imo.

[Extra Stout]

This is huge. Carter is basically Kawhi's camp spokesman.

So amateurish, though. It’s as though they think R.C. Buford doesn’t get ESPN.
To the Spurs: Trade me now to the Lakers, or I’ll sign in L.A. as a FA in 2019 anyway!
To the Lakers: Trade for me now from the Spurs, or I might re-sign in S.A. in 2019 like PG13 in OKC!

Can’t Uncle Dennis find a better agent for Kawhi? Such as any random third-grader?

[SAGirl]

Call their bluff. You can't expect one of the best players in the league on both sides of the city and not give up Tatum, Brown, or at least one of them.

He's just at his absolute lowest value of his career because he was injury riddled last season and couldn't do anything to dispel that... Remember his urge to try to come back and play in March? He backed off after his own push to return to play bc he couldn't endure it physically. Why else would he hold out back then, he said it himself in that March 21 statement I quoted.

There's a lot of pressure already. That's why they're not going to be able to maintain that cap flexibility in '19. Plus now, with no Kawhi and with the perception they ed up with Cousins, we're starting to see...

Surprised Bucks have no interest. They got Coach Bud, East is wide open....Middleton, Brogden, and a 1st round pick seems better than other trade offers I’ve seen out there.

[FkLA]

What's the story on this anyways? What's his issue with KAT?

The whole damn 'B' Conference, now with LeBron gone. A case can be made that landing Kawhi makes any of these teams the favorite to win it or vaults them into serious contender status.

Boston
Philly
Washington
Toronto
Milwaukee

Hates both Towns and Wiggins due to their poor work ethic and lack of defense, reportedly..

I could definitely see that, I wouldn't want either on my team, but Butler does seem like kind of a cancerous personality

Milwaukee and Minnesota (Minneapolis) are two of the few places that are less of a destination for stars than SA. It's a guaranteed 1 year rental for them.

It's political to some degree. Butler and Thibs are close while KAT hates Thibs. So Butler is pretty much backing his coach a guy who he feels he has loyalty towards since Thibs helped develop him in Chicago. I have also heard Butler hates how KAT is lazy on defense.

[BatManu20]

Jimmy to LA or BOS trade rumors heating up. That wouldn't move the needle though. Good luck with that.

[SAGirl]

don't tell me. He all of a sudden wants the Lakers too?
Should that rumor come to pass one has to question Magic's tampering big time tbh

What'll be amusing is when the Lakers offer Ingram and RC still says no.

Pop, RC, the Holts better be ready though, in this day and age, when all else fails, it gets personal...

Maybe not but the Lakers need names now. Looking at the pile of odds and ends they've picked up after LeBron in free agency, that's what they're going for.

I'm not. Pop probably spits the troof to him and he no want.

[lmbebo]

I see Danny Ainge or Jerry West being the ones more likely to make a trade if one is made.

Danny Ainge has a history of being a dealer... but guy's cheap. He'll show interest, kick the tires, etc He'll make crap offers to see if people bite. He doesn't make great trades if you want real value back. he had no problems trading Jae Crowder and IT. Another young pick doesn't help him as much these days now that he has a core of players to build around (Tatum, Brown, Rozier, Smart? (TBD), Kyrie? Horford, Hayward, etc).

He's right tbf but yeah you're not attracting anything better to Minny. Shouldve probably just bit his lip or went about a different way, tbh.

[Baam]

Need to wait I guess. If Kawhi gets restless then he has to commit to Philly so they're comfy enough to trade Fultz.

[Spurs da champs]

Fultz sucks.

Somebody needs to tamper w/ Magic's AIDS pills
