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

BTW, what's the fascination with Kemba Walker? I don't quite see the appeal.

When you figure it out, let me know.

Ap, you hearing anything interesting tonight?

He's just the lowest-hanging fruit on a tree the Spurs desperately need to shake. Despite sinking three straight first-round picks and multiple eight-figure deals into the position, guard remains the team's weak point. With Kawhi in the fold, getting an offensive guard who can score 20-plus PPG on decent efficiency would be worth a lot. Without him, it wouldn't be worth quite as much, and the expiring status and flight risk makes it to where SA might not be able to get a deal done. The team didn't need much to be a true contender: A reliable third option who could compliment SA's front court would get them there. Best thing they could do is throw Tony into a machine that could make him eight years younger. Prime Parker would be a great fit with the roster and would likely bring back some semblance of old Danny again. But failing that, they need to get the next-best thing.

Possible availability.

I mean sure we'd love Curry but he ain't moving.

I see...thank you for that explanation...so it'd be a half-hearted desperation (yeah, a bit of oxymoron) move because our guards are either too old or the young ones have not yet progressed enough?

I wouldn't frame it like that. Kemba would be a strong third option. If SA could keep Green or Murray or lose both but have Lonnie develop into three-and-D really quickly, then they could have a really good roster. As I said, they don't need much.

Got it...thank you again for the explanation.

– Teams concerned about Kawhi’s representation. It’s an uncle and a football guy but no one with an NBA track record GMs can trust. GMs cannot go to ownership with confidence Kawhi will or won’t re-sign because there is no relationship or history with his reps.

Well finally someone daring to mention how his group's amateurish tactics are hurting Kawhi's future. GMs certainly know all about this drama, more than journos do, they know Pop and respect him, they know how the Spurs operate. You think Brett Brown doesn't know all about this directly from Pop (and/or from their own doctor who has treated Kawhi) and they're playing cat and mouse with trade offers? It's naive. LeBron too, he's close to Pop, you think he hasn't reached out and asked about what's going on? I don't see LeBron looking to do the dirty on Pop trying to steal Kawhi.

They'd all know if Kawhi's injury is worse than presented, or whether he has simply chosen to quit on his team, or whether he's a victim of a vulture group trying to squeeze every cent from him. Neither alternative works in his favour and the more they're pressing their hard stance on wanting to go the less anyone would actually want him. The best case scenario for both parties seems to be that he stays with the Spurs for this season and proves himself, then see what happens.

David Aldridge on NBA TV. "The sense around the league is that Kawhi will end up in Philly unless the Lakers are willing to include Ingram or Kuzma in a trade."

I just don't get how you can publicly release that you will only resign with a team while on contract. How is that not borderline Tampering?

I know this might sound like a roll of the dice, but if I’m the Raptors, I would pick up the phone and tell Spurs GM R.C. Buford that he can choose a package featuring DeMar DeRozan. Yes, I get that you’d be giving up three years of DeRozan for Leonard’s expiring contract. But let’s face it: Toronto is third in the East pecking order behind Boston and Philadelphia. With LeBron out West, I would take a chance on Leonard if he looks healthy. Add Danny Green’s $10 million contract to Leonard, and a deal for DeRozan works

hey bruh, that’s not cool.

Reklamo ka sa city hall. Also yung Lakers mo feeling mo relevant na naman kayo. Must be difficult to backpedal when a fan base kept feeling like Kobe’s legacy was threatened by LeBron and now it has to love LeBron. Weirdest, most laughable dissonance ever.

Every place is a problem ... does he actually want to be traded?

the lakers are going to make the same mistake as they did with paul george, they don't want to give what RC and Pop want and they will lose kiwi, he will realize that they don't do everything possible to make a trade and surely sign the extension with the spurs.
