FMVP, spurs don’t win le without him.
Its still amazing Dallas was able to get Doncic.

I can't wait until 45 year old LeBron James decides he wants to play minor league baseball tbqh.
What a silly statement. That's like saying Iguodala can claim the 2015 le
They dont win with TP, Danny Green, Duncan, Splitter, Mills. Miami was the easiest series besides the first round.
there’s no point in trying to minimize kawhi’s role.
I think it's the Boogie Cousins scenario. Teams are extremely concerned about Kawhi's physical condition and do not want to break the bank and then find out the guy can't play.
IF he was coming off of a season where he played 70+ games and was All-NBA, the line of suitors would be out of the door. But no GM wants to trade a bunch of picks & top prospects for someone who may never play again. That's the quickest way to go from being an NBA GM to becoming a real estate agent.
It’d also be different if the Spurs offered him the super max and he declined. It’d show the Spurs believe in him that much but the Spurs did not, probably because he’d take it.
Facts, Spurs were becoming mediocre till they got him. No ring without him.
Get a mother ing rebound the year before, tbqh.
Of course they don't win it without him but that doesn't mean it's his le to claim. If Giannis brings a le to MIL he would be able to make that claim.
I honestly don't think Doncic will be franchise-guy level of good but if he is, then yeah super smart move by Cuban.
What does that have to do with it? As it stands now, I can’t see the Lakers beating GSW. Even if they get Kawhi this year, it’s still pretty slim.
He was ready to accept the extension just a few weeks ago, his camp leaked it to Jabari and Shams. Then the Spurs denied him the deal
With Kawhi in a long term contract, they would have many teams willing to give it all for him in 2021 FA. He plays this next and 2020 season in SA and then trade him for whatever Spurs want.
The Spurs would have looked elite for two seasons more and then get what they want in a trade.
It would have been way better than this zero-great offers/losing him for nothing.
The Boston Celtics aren't prepared to mortgage their future to acquire San Antonio Spurs star Kawhi Leonard.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported the Celtics consider their top five players "off limits" in any negotiations with the Spurs. Wojnarowski added Boston is prepared to make a "pick-heavy" offer but that San Antonio is looking to add players as well:

Holy . can't counter.
that's exactly why they'll never try that sort of thing, Pop is the most respected man in the league, no one would stand next to Kawhi and his groupMan, I really hope the group plays the race card, just for the sheer Civil War that would cause in the NBA.
You'd be playing the race card against the most outspoken liberal in all of american sports and the head coach of Team USA. Maybe they get some traction with the media and some players, but holy the wrath they would incur from the owners around the league. If Pop gets the race card pulled on him, what's to stop actual racist owners from getting it done to them. Even Uncle Tom MJ would put a hit on Dennis
God, the backlash from the owners around the league and subsequent bind that Silver would be in would absolutely be worth it tbh....
Common now. Not offering the super max is less about the injury concern and more about the fear of being in this exact situation a year from now once Uncle Dennis and Impact Sports can aggitate for a trade for the first time after inking the super max.
Spurs, who are known to historically be cautious with player health/ resting players etc., said he was cleared to play back in January; If you believe Bill Simmons at least 6-7 doctors also cleared him and Leonard was shopping for one that would side with him; And it is now Leonards camp that is saying, magically, that he is now 100%.
The health excuse is bull , and teams know it. They’re just trying to exert “leverage” over the Spurs. And, spurs are correctly concerned that Leonards camp is just going to put them through the same bull next summer.
ing joke ainge...
Does this have any dignity left in him? Teams are flat out disrespecting him by putting unproven mediocrities like Ingram/Fultz and scrubby role player like Rozier, Kuzma off the table..
That's how much they value his autistic ass.
I wouldn’t poopoo a Boston package built around picks. Probably the only team I’d say that about. Problem is how do they make the salaries work without key players (just on numbers).
Why would the Spurs trade him to Boston for less than one of Tatum/Brown? At least Philly offer was better even without Fultz.Unless the Spurs lower their asking price, though, the Celtics shouldn't take the risk.
Its bartering. Philly, like the Lakers, want to keep their young talent, while trying to get the Spurs to take their 2nd level talent and draft picks.
I didn’t speculate as to the reason why the Spurs didn’t offer him the super max. I simply stated they did not and if they did, I believe, he takes the extension.
The right here.
