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

**Harry Callahan** · 07-04-2018

September and October can't get here soon enough. I want to see the newly 100% KL honor the contract he (with complete freewill) signed his name to. Then the future can be discussed and determined.

Boban for Kawhi. Do it PATFO.

A local radio guy in LA put it best.

First, San Antonio is boring . . .

Second, Kawhi is boring . . .

Third, Kawhi doesn't get endorsements because he's boring . . .

(Boston owns it if they make the playoffs but it could be written that If they miss the playoffs then the Spurs get their lottery pick -which is likely)

That's probably about the best that they could do, they'd be mortgaging their future but they'd be nabbing a super star this likely to re-sign.

That's not enough, more than likely for PATFO though

Harris, Boban, Shai '21, '23, '25 1sts, '21 2nd for Kawhi & Patty.

Without Kawhi on the team or any other player who could overshadow him, LMA is the happiest man in the world.

Get bent. You know you've lost the debate when you pointlessly come here to tarnish LMA to prop up your boy.

Ok, thanks for the update. KL is a better player. But you just sullied LMA, a future HOF, because why?

I have misread you this whole time. I thought you were still a Spurfan at the end of the day, but I was wrong. You're just a water-carrying asshat.

Guys like that generally don't hit the FA market, and don't go to SA if they do...

I didn't hear anything about "they don't go to SA..." but the list is better than I though. Thanks for posting it!

The longer this drag out, the more stuff will come and confirm that this whole saga wasn't really about an injury or any other bull excuse; it is an economic power move by a desperate and amateur bunch.

( might have been concocted during that China trip, right around when Kyrie asked out of Cleveland and got his wish)..

Uncle D and his minions have basically stumbled upon Derrick Rose 2.0 and will bleed his dumb ass dry before he turns 30. They are going all in with Kawhi; he is their golden goose or so they think.

Excellent summation. Of course, boring yet great could make for a great advertisement...

What do they have to give to SA? Not sure they can make a trade that works. They just finished running off the three quality players they had in the last 12 months. Total rebuild.

I haven't really paid any attention to the Clippers. What did they get for Blake and where did those players go?

I just replied to a guy who said LMA being the man, being the first option last season could have bothered Kawhi...He said "Yeah, and that's probably not a good thing in Kiwhi's mind"

Thinking that's true it's just hilarious. There is nothing Kawhi or any superstar couldn't care less than LMA's touches or LMA's presence.

Everyone should keep in mind that there’s a good chance YGWHI actually has ties to Kawhi or his group, and has a vested interest in getting their spin out. You aren’t going to pin YGWHI down... he/she has an agenda.

Someone please remind me.

Back when Manu4Tres (and others) first started saying Kawhi was gonna push to play in L.A. there was a poster who was adamant that Kawhi absolutely DOES NOT want to go back to L.A. Who was that?

This.

Not sure the need to degenerate LMA. He's been All-NBA 2 of the 3 years here and definitely was the reason we made the playoffs at all this year. Seems to me a good get in essence for Tiago.
