Kori Ellis what’s your personal take on Leonard? I mean I figure you’re agnostic since you’ve reported on the team for years but really would be interested to know whose side, if any, are you taking.
Just don't give up Dejounte... Don't do it.

So nothing has really happened in the last day or two other than the ship sailing on any chance to repair the relationship. Awesome
Pop was asleep 4 hours ago.
Barry Mc iner is one of the best follows on Twitter..his anti-Kobe and anti-Jordan isbeen following him for about 3 months now.. his KD and Steph slander is underrated too
I'd rather not trade him at all. All these rumoured offers are total ing garbage. I'd rather let him go for nothing at the end of a very deep playoff run.
Miami suddenly rumored to be in the mix. I doubt it, but never count Pat Riley out. Wonder what a package from their side would look like though.. probably something like:
-Dragic
-Winslow
-Adebayo
-Future 1st Round picks
-Take on Patty’s contract
Spurs get a good (albeit aging — turned 32 last month) PG in Dragic who Pop has always liked, a young developmental SF in Winslow (just turned 22), a young/athletic big in Adebayo on a cheap Rookie contract, future draft picks, rid themselves of Patty’s deal, and they don’t help the Lakers create the next superteam.
Just talking out of my ass here, but you never know. Maybe Lebron considers going back to Miami then to play with Kawhi and D-Wade, ing over the Lakers in the process. If only..

I feel the same. As soon as the Spurs accept a weak ass offer from the lakers every mother er from ESPN to magic Johnson will be laughing it up and throwing a damn parade. THAT!
The situation is baffling. It's hard for me to imagine what happened between the Spurs and Kawhi that could have caused him to be "irate" and wanting to never step foot in the Spurs' locker room again. To cause such a rift, it has to be something much more than the Spurs questioning his injury, Parker's comment (which wasn't a slight to Kawhi) or Pop using the word 'group.' So maybe something happened that has not been reported.
Or, maybe it's just that Kawhi is so mentally fragile that he's been heavily manipulated by his handlers into thinking he should be irate and want out.
I always thought Kawhi was a guy who just wanted to play basketball. I never thought he'd end up being a primadonna or a whiner. And now, somehow (if you believe all media reports), he's both.
One thing about Kawhi though is that he has never demonstrated any leadership skills in San Antonio. Duncan was a leader. Kawhi is not. So maybe he does really just need to be somewhere else where he can be #2 to someone like LeBron, and just play basketball. Maybe he can't handle being the face of a franchise.
The thing that I'm really questioning today is... Stephen A Smith says Pop-Kawhi met again last night. If Kawhi is dead-set on never suiting up for the Spurs again. What was the point? Why did he meet with Pop again? Like, I said.. it's just a baffling situation. I've never seen/heard anything like it.
Problem with that is the locker room would be toxic and the media storm would be never-ending (by SA’s standards). I just don’t see any way the Spurs do that at this point. I think he’s traded within the week, and the more the Lakers around, the more I think it’ll be to an EC team.
The Spurs finally get Dragic, 10 years too late tbh.
Oh and I think that if I were the Spurs, and the offers weren't getting any better than we heard today, that I would just call Kawhi's bluff and say, "OK, well you are under contract, see you in training camp."
I'm not sure how much DRob is around the team, but he kinda alluded to Kwahi learning to speak for himself and control his own destiny. Sounded like Kwahi has other people driving his "car"/career/life.
No thank you. They already traded their 2021 pick to the Sixers so only can trade their 2019 (no consecutive picks). Winslow has shown nothing. Dragic is expensive and they already have PGs. The Lakers’ package is way better than that crap unless Bridges were included too.
I think Kawhi's camp sniffed out that the Spurs were not going to offer the Supermax and were going to try to lowball him. It's what the Spurs do. (They make this up for their loyal players later.) So Uncle and crew try to hold Kawhi out and play hardball, but since then it's blown up in their faces. Sure, it'd be nice to play in LA or whatever, but that's not actually what Kawhi wants to do.
I still believe there's a solid chance, maybe even a significant chance, he resigns with San Antonio and this is all over.
They met last night!? I feel like this would have been way bigger news unless I missed something? Did Stephen A say this on his show today?
Why would you listen to what that pompous windbag bloviator has to say?
I am on board with you. I wouldn't give him up either.
He says they "talked" again last night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TAmPrk1-Vo
I never do, hence why I'm out of the loop
You're better off than most basketball fans.I never do, hence why I'm out of the loop
Thanks Kori! Hope you're doing well by the way
I honestly don't care. That kind of situation is OK by me. If someone wants to act the way Kawhi and his group has, I'd have no problem putting them in that situation. Let them self destruct if they can't or won't be professional about it.
He's under contract. End of story. Be professional and honour your contract. Turn up and play hard.
The seems like the best move. When the season is over and KL moves on, if he moves on, the Spurs could always go after other free agents that are better than what is being offered right now.
