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

[spurs10]

It sounds like the best move for the Spurs.

Pop is not going to hurt the Spurs by trading him for nothing. As someone noted, didn't Carter leak 'he might not even show up in Philly.' Kawhi's camp are doing themselves no favors with the LA or bust talk. LA can get him for free next year, so why gut the team. Still can't imagine losing the supermax is something they are too thrilled about. Also we have a lot of good reasons to keep him out of LA. Why would the Spurs hurt themselves to help him. No on his offering an all-star so that's that.

The truth is in the shoe. KL has been offered $5mil per year for a shoe deal. He wants $10mil like the other great players. The truth is his personality and online presence keeps him from being worth more. SO, enter uncle Fester who blames the market. BUT, even if traded there is no indication that KL will get a better shoe deal. Enter, USA basketball. Pop chooses who makes the team. KL needs to be on that team to sell his sneakers while playing in China, a huge market. Shoulda- coulda - woulda- but KLs problems would have best been solved by a PR director.

In fact, it has been said that Nick Young will sell more shoes than KL because of his personality and online presence.

Uncle bag and his minions are in a pickle. They have more or less played all their cards. Only two remain: (a) the race card; (b) another rehab holdout or what is essentially career suicide.

That Cris Carter segment was the first sign of them bending the knee to Pop and "begging" to get traded.

The Spurs are in no rush, and thankfully, Pop/RC have shown the stomach to let this one play out until they get what they want in trade package return or on the off chance the nephew straightens his act and come back to the fold..

This statement is Bobo approved!

The most frustrating part of this whole ing saga isn't even that Kawhi wants out. It's literally how ing stupid Uncle Dennis & Co. are, like you couldn't actively be this ing stupid if you tried.

Leaking "family stuff". These guys are ting all over the Spurs leverage they really don't deserve to get a trade. Kawhi better commit to Philly or whoever so that they get real value. Can't be a one way street, either they do a favor back by committing to a team with assets or they get stuck for the season.

Bring us Fultz or Ingram or enjoy another year of vacation during your prime. It's simple.

I wonder if Kawhi even knows how big of a mess things have gotten. He doesn't watch ESPN or any of that stuff, safe to assume he also avoids sports websites/articles, doesn't use social media etc.

Uncle Dennis and his team is a bunch of amateurs. They remind me of Mark Wahlberg's character from the movie Pain and Gain.

Im at least glad Carter mentioned that Pop was very honest with Kawhi that he will try to accommodate him but it can’t be at the expense of SA. So if Kawhi is not going to put pressure on LA to make a compe ive offer then it’s on LA for not stepping up knowing they would trade him there for something solid.

this is the important part. accommodate if possible? i mean it sucks, but fine.

but they're not going to bend over and take a ty deal just to make him happy. as long as they hold firm on that, i'm good. and as much as people think the lakers are going to take their time and wait till free agency, lebron will be turning 34 in december. he's not going to want to chill in mediocrity, i would think. could be a lot of pressure on them to make a splash during the season if they're not near the top of the west

Per Shams, Forbes is coming back

And not only that, I really dont think Kawhi wants to give up money if he doesn’t have to. One would think Kawhi would be not so thrilled with LA if they are really playing the “we will make you stay where you don’t want to be” game with Kawhi as leverage. That doesn’t help or matter to Kawhi. That only helps LA.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

[Ron Swanson]

RIP SpursTalk

[MoSpur02]

Why the heck are the Spurs wasting money on Forbes??? He sucks.

[bklynspursfan]

[DPG21920]

Ugh, why are we bringing back ANOTHER guard who isn’t very good and doesn’t deserve a pay raise. If it’s because Mills is being moved then ok.

But SA has Beli/Danny/Manu/Lonnie/White/Murray already along with Mills.

[monkeypunk]

Per Shams, Forbes is coming back

What in the are PATFO smoking? Bryn seems like a good kid but he has one ability and if he can only do it in practice then wtf is he back?

[Mugen]

God ingdamnit if Forbes is getting a cent more than the minimum he could make

[RD2191]

yeah Kawhi, come back to play for us. We have Mills, Forbes, and Pau.

My guess is some top shelf wax. These guys really are high. No doubt in my mind now

Yes the 'why trade away anything when you're coming next year' is a stupid card to play. The idea of Spurs being a better organization that can pay him $80 million more, might begin to dawn on them. One would think.

[bklynspursfan]

yeah Kawhi, come back to play for us. We have Mills, Forbes, and Pau.

people still think that's an actual thing eh? Uncle Dennis doesn't care who we have.
