laker fan better hope he does not choice clippers..
rember reports he does not want to play with james
Because they were never going to trade to the Lakers. They didn't want him in the West, specifically team up with Lebron in LA to form another superteam.
Sure, it may still happen next season, but it wasn't going to be by their hands. A lot can happen between then and now.
The Spurs were making requests from the Lakers that they knew they would refuse.

another reason the lakers should be commended for not trading anything of significant value for leonard.
Spurs win 50+ easily.
Funny how Kawhi was a "system player" according to the national media when he was a Spur, but now that he was traded, he is going to account for so much insofar as losses and wins.
Had he gone to LA today we would have to listen to this 10x from the national media.
The theme from this past year: All is Kawhiet on the Western Front.
Glad this finally came to an end. Don't wish anything bad for Kawhi, but I certainly won't root for him.
Derozan will play better defense than he has before...it is the Spursame way. He and LA will work together as well.
Wait you mean he did not socialize and kept to himself. Well Me I am shocked. Stunned by this breaking news..
I'm pretty sure a lot of posters here actually like you and most treat you with respect as far as a Lakers fan goes, don't they? Out of all the Lakers fans here, I'd say most like you, so that is interesting if you don't like most people here. Unless I've missed it (I don't go to the NBA forum much) and you get treated like there? Why are you posting here if you don't like most of the people here? You're not a troll like most Lakers fans here.
definatly gotta find one now!Gotta go find one of these shirts on millitary now
spurstalk.net is back es
oh yeah it’s back, time for some more ing.
Bump. Can we really let this slide to page 2 already?
True. Reasonable assumptions are he wanted out of SA and to be in LA. The idea that his agent and uncle were not seeking what he wanted is a less realistic scenario. Not to mention the idea that somehow he didn't realize that he was holding out and instead was working diligently and was ready to play.
Can we change this thread to ..."wants to be traded from the raptors?" You know it's coming....
good point. although it is colder in toronto than in NY. pretty significantly too. and i didn't even know bucher was still around. i'd forgotten all about him!
I know I've seen it before with other transactions but what is the legality behind waiving the physical to obtain a player?
Don’t know if nba has any rule about physicals, but with $20mm on the line, Toronto won’t be able to buy insurance on him.
He is literally either going to be great and lead them to 60 plus wins. Or be hiding in NY with his Uncle. It is 50/50..
Maybe I need to re-word my question can an NBA trade go through with a player failing a physical and/or can the physical be waived so the trade goes through?
I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, its all just contract law
You don't have anything anywhere saying Simmons talked to anybody or was a bad teammate to anyone but a trolls post in JSimms Twitter account. Sauces...?Kawhi is rotten, Jon is clearly close with him, and clearly on his side. These rumors obviously have no weight, right? Because of emojis and because you never heard anything until now right? They totally make no sense!
If simmons and dedmon formed a cliche with KAwhi its the same as PArker and Manu wanting kawhii to carry them to a ring. They all wanted to be carried. Both simmons and dedmon left in part because the spurs would not push out manu and gasol and give the minutes away. It would not surprise me if kawhi took a side. But any wise person would see they are all blood suckers but at least, parker, manu and gasol paid their ing dues.
Teams can waive the physical requirement in order to push trades through (Funnily enough, Raptors did it with Mourning trade), but I don't know if a team has ever waived the physical after a player has failed a physical. I think the Thomas/Irving trade last year was temporarily held up because the Cavs supposedly thought about voiding the trade due to failed physical on Thomas's part, but I don't think anyone confirmed that Thomas had indeed failed his physical. Subsequently it was seen as the Cavs trying to improve the terms of trade ex post facto.
Also, I don't think failing a physical in this sense is exactly like how a normal person would fail a physical. I think even if something comes up as a concern, if the team decides it was within the bounds of a trade (such as a disclosed issue when trading an injured player, etc.) the player doesn't fail a physical. Practically speaking, I think players officially fail a physical only if the team wants to void a trade and found something.

So im reading, reason there was no deal with sixers was because spurs demanded min Ben or Joel.

I wonder if there wasn't any more to that...maybe Pop and RC actually did not want to trade Kawhi to Brett so they made outrageous demands that the Sixers fanbase would be upset about...that is, give Brett a cover for not getting Kawhi...after what they went through (and know about Kawhi and his uncle), I can't imagine Pop and RC would have wanted someone like Brett to deal with that headache, particularly given the turmoil and expectations with the Sixers...
Could be, makes sense. Could also be spurs wanted a legit star/difference maker as part of the deal. Potential & upside wasn't good enough which would of been the case with Fultz. Another angle by keeping the demands high, Kawhi wouldn't get one of his preferances. It was reported he would consider the sixers maybe longterm aside from LA.
look what jabari just retweeted...
