    Makes sense . Kawhi will commit here long-term, we lost to BOS without Kyrie/Hayward 4-1 but because we didn’t land Lebron it’s not worth getting Kawhi

    Are you listening to yourself? If we can’t have Lebron AND KAWHI we would rather have neither!!
    "If we can't have LeBron we wouldn't give up the bank for Kawhi. He's amazing but the Spurs ask too much for him and we can't lose our young assets & picks and compromise our future for just one player. We would have done it for two players: LBJ and KL, not just for one"

    Also, I doubt Philly has enough cap to create three max slots..They already gave Embiid a max contract, would have to give Kawhi one next offseason, and Simmons other the next.

    That agency and their story reeks greed and selfishness. Smaller market teams and their stars are the prey.
    Manipulative ruthless billionaire New York Jews exploit black athlete and his family, tear apart model small-market franchise to prop up failing business venture.

    The race card can be played both ways, bloodsuckers.

    Under no cir stance is giving up Fultz while keeping Simmons/Embiid and adding Kawhi compromising your future.

    Man, I still hate him because he's a grown ass man, but it's hard to not feel sorry for the kid. It's pretty easy to connect the dots.

    Quiet, low-key guy from a close-knit family gets to the NBA. All of a sudden blows up and is one of the biggest names in the sport.

    The only family member with any business sense/interest is re Dennis and is trusted implicitly by Kawhi and his mom, etc.

    Dennis gets involved with a bunch of snake oil salesmen that promise him that he can have a Rich Paul type stake in the empire they're trying to build , without realizing that him and his nephew are just a means to an end for these ing leeches.

    Smh.
    It's insane somebody should make a movie based off of this.

    Lol you can’t invest in real estate in CA playing in SA?
    Connections with LA real estate guys, etc. There's some truth that proximity builds relationships with business guys that can move mountains tbh. You look at KD and his connections to Silicon Valley. Sure they're a conference call way from getting investments/deals finalized but running in the same circles, going to the same networking events regularly isn't something that can be completely ignored. Tougher to do all that when you're in SA and OKC for a good chunk of the year.

    I'm with you and it seems a little naive on Kawhi's part to believe that but him and Uncle Dennis are getting taken for a ride. If the son of a real estate mogul says you only get access to these deals by being in LA / NY, who are Kawhi and re Uncle Dennis to believe otherwise. Kawhi doesn't know about the business side of things and Dennis probably couldn't manage a Dairy Queen.

    I don't understand why they appear to have Fultz off limits. They barely played him last season and they would be adding Kawhi to Simmons/Embiid like you said. He has been working really hard and has alot of potential but why wouldn't Philly go at the chance right now? If he ends up in LA they probably won't be able to ever get him. And they have a good chance of making the finals with that team.

    Saw this on reddit.

    [Wojnarowski] On the Rondo deal: "This is a message to Lonzo Ball after his camp leaked news about his knee injury"
    He said that there's a general belief amongst the Lakers organisation that the leak came from the Ball camp.

    He also mentions that there were a lot of teams looking to make a deal with the Lakers, those teams are now having a lot of questions about this injury.

    So Lavar may have blocked a Lakers/Kawhi deal? It had been reported that they were trying to trade Lonzo for picks which would be included in a Kawhi deal. Right after that it got leaked that he had the injury.

    The only reason Philly hasn't said yes to a deal is that Pop probably told Brett that this guy and his group are bad ing news and I don't want to pawn this off on you.

    If you actually believe Markelle F'n Fultz is the hold up to this deal, then i have some beachfront property in Nevada to sell you

    Ya, I've been saying this for months..I was annoyed by Kawhi at first, but the more obvious it became that he's being taken advantage of, the less I've criticized him..I don't care at all anymore, tbh..

    He's just another name on the list of athletes and celebs that got eaten by this monster..

    I hope this is the case. Call me a sucker, but I keep praying that somehow both sides can still work things out.

    I hope the Spurs continue to make moves this summer because the roster still needs a ton of work.

    You mean giving up Fultz, Saric, Covington and picks...We already read many reports about what was Spurs' counter-offer.

    If they have to choose between two of Kawhi/Simmons/Embiid because can't have three max contracts in next season..after they lost their picks in this trade?

    I agree. I think PHI should stil take the chance because PHI seems like a place Kawhi’s group favors, but I’ve said all along Pop/Brown have a great relationship and won’t lie to each other.

    Lavar Ball has his scrub son Liangelo in commercials and getting tryouts with NBA teams..he's known across America, took over sports media for a few months and built a legit following..

    What do you estimate Big Baller Brand is worth now that Lebron joined and if he starts wearing BBB gear?

    He's not blocking a Kawhi deal, he's blocking his son from getting traded from LA. Guarantee they want him out, though.
