This is just like the Marc Gasol rumor with the Spurs. It isn't really news; it's just the obvious move to make for anyone with half a brain.
I was thinking he makes around the MLE but not ridiculous money. Given he was a second rounder, he hasn't made a TON of money and may look for years instead of a prove-it deal. He's young, which helps, but there is still some massive declines among players who've suffered the injury: http://regressing.deadspin.com/how-a...kobe-472944871
Much worse than an ACL but probably not as bad as the injury was in the 90's.

This especially is the thing that makes me not lose any sleep at night. Good point.
Notice how lukewarm RFA has been for guys not shoe-ins to get the max. Though, I guess Hayward got a max offer (matched) this past season and Parsons got that funky offer sheet.
Dude, Kawhi already has the contract. Spurs just waiting until this offseason so they'll have more money to sign another star player. Everyone knows he's resigning with the Spurs.
Thanks for the inside scoop tspense tbh
Kawhi isn't going anywhere. He's a Spur for the foreseeable future.
Like itzsoweezee and ElNono said, if Kawhi signs max/2y offer, the last year player option that allows him to hit the market in 2016/17, the Spurs will match that offer?
Spend that money for only one year?
The team can't sign a top-bigman +Kawhi+Danny, but if they will lose Kawhi after a year and they can have Danny or a really good offensive SG for less money and more years than Leonard, they will still match a short term offer?

IF kawhi signs max money this year, he is basically doing the spurs a favor.
Many players that had the opportuniy opted to wait 2 years..Like lebron to get the max when the NEW CBA kicks in.
The Clips seem the perfect fit for him.

And he's exactly what they need in the perimeter to become contenders. All of them had nothing but kind words for him this season and he could be part of the next Big 3 in the West.
Fortunately the Clips don't have the money to get him.
But they will have it in 2016...

except it does
Leonard is a 50/50 situation..All depending on Leonard's trust level.nice
i think every player in the league might go to any team this offseason
50/50 for each tho
Nets wanted to trade him but no one wanted Brook. I said a few weeks before the news that BKY is looking to trade Brook..I was 100% right.except it does

So there is 50% chance Parker might leave the spurs? interesting.
Philo-ing again, I see. You seem to be jealous that you don't have any sources, tbh.except it does

Worst case scenario is Kawhi signs a 2+1 to allow himself to become a free agent in 2017, but the injury risk associated with that is big. I expect he's more likely to take the $85m guaranteed.
My ¨sorcerers¨ tell me he will stay with the Spurs.
The only way Kawhi leaves is if he just doesn't want to be here or in the unlikely event someone throws the kitchen sink at the Spurs in a sign & trade. It won't be about contract money. Kawhi will get whatever deal he wants from the Spurs, structured however he wants it.
My hope is Kawhi remains a Spur, and by the time his next next contract is up, he's already rooted here in San Antonio, just like David, Tim, Manu and Tony, and becomes a "Spur for Life".
Not really true. The Spurs can only offer him what the max for 2015 is. Which in total could be worth around $50mil less than the max in 2016. That's a lot of money.
The only players id accept for him is Anthony Davis, Harden and LBJ
In retrospect, I'm glad we traded Paul George for him.
Much more worried about losing Danny, tbh.
Like you mention, he can't sign right now for 2016 money. Under the rules and the cap that exist today, you don't believe Kawhi will get whatever deal he wants from the Spurs? I'm not saying the Spurs won't try to negotiate terms that are "in the best interest of the team", but when it gets right down to it, it will be up to Kawhi to choose the type of deal he wants.
I think he'll get whatever deal he wants indeed, which might not be the deal the Spurs want ideally.
That's not possible. Any offer sheet must contain at least two fully guaranteed years and at least three years in total. The Parsons deal is the shortest offer sheet that any RFA can sign.
The only way for Kawhi to be a free agent in 2016 is by signing his Qualifying Offer.
A Parsons-type deal would suck for the Spurs, but they would most certainly match it.
It's also a misleading thread le. Sure the Celtics would love to have Leonard, but so would 28 other teams.
