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

[DPG21920]

But yeah, LA will likely be mediocre and he will be done getting to the finals if he goes and they whiff on getting two other legit stars.

LA has done nothing to deserve stars going there other than finally making sure they aren’t in cap Literally nothing else than having money. They have sucked for a long time, drafted medicore for their high picks and have in-house fighting with their ownership group and got fined for tampering twice.

[baseline bum]

It really seems like he's going there, but I still don't understand why

I keep hearing lifestyle, but it's ing LeBron, he's one of the 3 biggest stars in NBA history..

You'd take Kevin Love as your best teammate over Paul George? I don't think much of the Lakers young guys but they're better than George Hill, JR Smith, Clarkson, etc. Though for the life of me I don't get why he'd consider anyone but Philly. Stacked young roster that already won 52 games, big market, and he gets to stay in the East.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

mavs should trade wesley matthews for deandre. it works straight up.

luka could get him easy buckets.

Amazing sig

For people that read tea leaves:

Good to hear

I think Kevin Love is probably overall just as good as PG, yeah. But yeah, LA’s young core is more talented than CLE for sure. But the West is tough as , PG would have to play like a true star and they would have to develop to make a deep run (which is possible). But getting a third star would be huge.

He'd have a much better roster, but still not good enough to beat GS..more importantly, the narrative would change..other than die-hard haters, everybody knows his team sucks right now..

LeBron cares about what others think, can you imagine what it will be like when he loses with expectations in Kobe's home?

If he wins in LA, then sure, it would be a huge legacy boost, as just playing for the Lakers gives you even more credit than ever deserved..Kobe's legacy wouldn't be anywhere near what it is if he played for Charlotte

Ok I've seemed to touch a soft spot and didn't mean to. But nobodies going to get much on the job training in less than a year. These are kids playing the hands that are delt. Cal isn't making them much better I'd agree. But I'm not going to label athlete based on their school. Booker is better than most players drafted ahead of #13 the last few years. Even if flawed.

I've said it before. It's not a big deal. I just find Kentucky players never acquire the skills to really know how to win in the NBA. I think Cal pulls so many five stars that they win easily in the NCAA but kind of randomly, and then he spits them into the league after a year and they just kind of do pretty good. They're talented but I wouldn't want them on my team generally. It's what you see from other players who do extremely well in college, like Melo, but never learn how to play with other people. I haven't seen a Coach Cal player who has really impressed me beyond their natural talents. Davis comes the closest.

[MoSpur02]

You want Orlando's core? Why?

I think Gordon is a solid pickup if you have to move Kawhi. He's only 22. He has improved in scoring, rebounding, 3pt shooting, steals, and blocks just about every season. Plus I think he will continue to improve. He doesn't get much hype because he plays in Orlando. Fournier in my opinion is better than Mills and a solid 3pt shooter. I don't like his contract that much, but it's not that bad considering the player he is. He is younger than Mills and has improved as far as scoring just about every year.

Plus after what Kawhi has pulled he deserves to go to Orlando for a year.

[DPG21920]

I will divorce my wife and go into a downward spiral if SA trades Kawhi to ORL for Gordon

I think Kawhi would enjoy Disney World.

Cool... we're both spurs fans id hope. Looking around I don't see many Kentucky players on the roster. So I think your good. And this is probably the wrong thread to even discuss this in. I'm tied of talking about kawhi to people at work/ internet/ espn. It's like the election all over again. I just saw your Kentucky post and I thought it's not thats schools problem if players 3 years removed don't develop. It's the NBA team that drafted them.

[coachmac87]

Am I the only one that believes LBJ to the Lakers isn't happening?

Why do you think that’s the case?

Lol you will just blowing smoke

DPG not from California DUCKS, DPG follow up on message board promises

If Paul George does not go to lakers why would James
Unless he just wants to watch his son play ball but half the time he will be playing in la or on the road the same time

Maybe LA makes a deal with SA and then Lebron goes?

[Spurs9]

I was reading that Boogie is intrested in LA too. So if LA gets PG/Lebron/Boogie, that pretty much instantly elevates Kawhis trade value since they can't sign him next season there. And if Lebron/PG don't go there, trade value for Kawhi from the Lakers goes up, and the Spurs would probably be more willing to trade him there.

Ok I hope they do not either

[ducks]

Lakers have no trade assets close to Leonard

[cd021]

Pretty sure PG is going to LA from Magic's comments. Lebron and Kawhi I think are somewhat tied. They're not set on playing together but would work towards it if it makes sense. Spurs holding out was the right thing to do. Hopefully Kawhi and his camp play ball and/or make amends. I would hate to see Kawhi get booed at the AT&T Center after having such a great first half of his career here so far.

OKC, for better or worse, has Westbrook. He is a legit prime superstar. L.A is selling P.G on what they could be, Westbrook is selling him on building on what they were.

I don't think PG to L.A is a done deal.

It's something to talk about that's not Kawhi.

Prob with gordon is I think he is up for an extension and heard he wants max money (on nba radio earlier this week). Question is, is he worth the max?

Will there be an idiot GM out there who gives it to him?

Apparently Lebron's wife doesn't like Philly.

Part of the cleveland team was LA too ... Don't see the lakers team being that much better than the cavs roster.

Only way I’d even consider Kawhi to Orlando is if the package included Gordon, Bamba, & multiple 1st’s. They won’t offer that though so it’s a moot point.

[offset formation]

For people that read tea leaves:

Wtf are the Lakers still hovering around the top of the list each time? Do these fools not know there's slim to no chance PATFO sends him West, let alone to the Spurs mortal enemy??? Gmafb.
