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

[offset formation]

The Lakers are the ones that wouldn't do it

Spurs fans lmao. Think they have any leverage here lol

You're a dolt. Every national media person worth their salt is characterizing the Lakers as in desperation mode and their offers as homerun, substantial, or Godfatherish.

Just quit the board already.

what is this? YMCA youth basketball? where the coach asks everyone if they're "having fun"? who would have thought that leonard would become the poster child for millennials?

"But but but the Warriors have fun when they play!"

Yeah, it's easy to have fun when the odds are ridiculously stacked in your favor.

[objective]

If the Lakers’ front office was as competent as Boston’s and drafted Jaylen Brown instead of Ingram and Tatum instead of Ball Kawhi trade would have been easy.

Damn, you're right!

That would be a good trade with LA

[Russ]

there he goes!

If Ingram is such a great virile healthy young cheap STUD why would the Lakers trade him for expensive, older, totally not faking an injury Kawhi?

Because they're incompetent.

They actually had to give up assets to trade the second pick in the entire NBA draft (D. Russell) because they didn't do enough due diligence to see he was a head case.

Now they need to get rid of another second overall pick because they failed to ascertain that his whole family is head cases.

Meanwhile, they treat a hard-working and very talented "in-the-paint guy (Julius Randle) like persona non grata.

It's a confederacy of dunces.

[Ron Swanson]

Huge, if true.

[BatManu20]

Wants to be Kawhi so bad.

What does this mean?

[Baam]

Woj talking about every team but Philly, wonder if they gave up or something. I still think they got the best stuff.

pop it is just basketball

And Nance. And Russell.

Don't forget Andrew Goudelocke aka GODlock

[monkeypunk]

What does this mean?

Probably thinks he'll get a call up if Kawhi exits stage left.

[Clipper Nation]

And Nance. And Russell.

And Kobe. And Shannon Brown. And Lonzo Bust. And Kendall Marshall. And Ramon Sessions.

Jabari has been very quiet for awhile now in regards to this whole Kawhi situation

I am starting to finally get persuaded this doesn't look good and that he will be dealt, if not now, in the coming weeks, maybe months... but probably "sooner".

I think I was one of the few still believing RC's company line.

Here's Jabari:

I see. Thanks.

Does he understand that a Kawhi trade would mean fewer open roster slots and not more?

Maybe it's just him getting ready for summer league to start

[picnroll]

Damn, you're right!

That would be a good trade with LA

Only problem is if the Lakers were that competent they may not have wanted/needed Leonard. They could have just signed Lebron and Paul outright. We owe this problem all to the Lakers ongoing incompetence.

[offset formation]

Wait, I thought Kawhi wanted out because the doctors mistreated him?

Or was it that Pop and Parker said meanie things?

Or was it that he couldn't get big endorsements?

Or it was LA was close to home?

Now it's about 'fun'?

Nice summary.

You forgot one though...bad roster construction.

[coachmac87]

What does this mean?

Uhh nothing much. Just shows he’s waiting to see what happens like the rest of us

pop it is just basketball

Thanks man.

[BatManu20]

Tell Magic to off if true.


Wojnarowski: The Lakers are willing to include former No. 2 overall pick Brandon Ingram and a future first-round pick in a package for Leonard, but the Spurs are seeking a far more complete haul of Lakers young players and future picks, league sources said.

[Birn]

I would do Kyrie Irving and Sacto pick plus Brown for Leonard and Mills. The only way I would take a deal from Lakers is if it includes Kuzma, Randle S&T, Wagner, Hart, Ingram and multiple picks. I would then dangle Ingram to a 3rd team for an established young rotation player or another pick.

[ducks]

sas is saying durant is thinking about leaving gs
not all is well there


brown has a relationship with leonard
