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

[RD2191]

people still think that's an actual thing eh? Uncle Dennis doesn't care who we have.

The roster sure as doesn't help, that's for sure.

[Mugen]

And not only that, I really dont think Kawhi wants to give up money if he doesn’t have to. One would think Kawhi would be not so thrilled with LA if they are really playing the “we will make you stay where you don’t want to be” game with Kawhi as leverage. That doesn’t help or matter to Kawhi. That only helps LA.

Everything that you've said about the whole Kawhi saga is assuming that Uncle Dennis & the group are reasonable, rational, competent human beings....

But they're not. They're ing re ed.

They'll turn down a supermax because they think he can make it up in endorsements. They'll let him risk a year without a long term deal. They'll let the Lakers call their client dog and not take offense, etc.

They are ing clowns.

[coachmac87]

Can we let the dust settle before 90% of the forum jumps off the cliff?

Lmao

[DPG21920]

If you were going to bring back Forbes, why pay Beli? Maybe Mills is gone.

If we fast forward to next year I know TP/Danny/Manu is gone that would mean it is Beli/Lonnie/Forbes to fill that void but still.

[MoSpur02]

I hope this is a sign of Mills being moved. I don't wanna see Forbes getting anything but garbage time.

Agreed the Spurs are basically dealing with a bunch of crazy terrorists. There's that rule the US has when dealing with terrorists which is you don't negotiate with them and the same applies to Uncle Dennis' group.

[Mugen]

I'd rather pay Patty 20mil than pay Forbes $14.00 an hour tbh. Probably my most hated Spur in the last 5 years.

[Ice009]

Why the heck are the Spurs wasting money on Forbes??? He sucks.

What a ing joke. This ing one signing is about to make me do a 180, and that is, maybe Kawhi is right to want out. The Spurs seem freaking clueless right about now.

[SpursDynasty85]

If we are paying him around $1.5/2M/yr what is the big deal? If people get injured or the Spurs desperately need a sub with a good stroke he can score in bunches in certain situations.

I too would like this to signify moving on from Mills but I doubt Spurs do that unless a team desperately wants him as a package for Kawhi. Mills is part of the Spurs fabric and how they operate. Our new Ginobili, Parker, and Duncan rep.

Let's hope the deal is not large.

[BatManu20]

In other news, Ronaldo's new contract making Lebron's look like child's play

[ducks]

leonard deal could be more then james is he is not traded

Lol cliff jumping for Forbes. Justifying Kawhi's action with a 2 yr deal for Forbes. Lol wow.

[bklynspursfan]

I'm so fed up with this tripe. Mills is signed for 3 and 37.5M more. He had a relatively bad year by his efficiency standards last year, yet still managed to be the second leading scorer on the team. And he only takes 11% of the cap.

And, his contract is easily tradable if it comes to that. Don't believe that? See every Patty hater on this board just randomly throwing him into every trade as though it's no problem, so even they know.

The Pau deal was bad but he had done the team a solid and was rewarded. And guess what you steaming pile of pus, we are merely one year removed from being past that one for all intents and purposes. He is only guaranteed $6M after next year, which is again, a very easy contract to trade. In the interim, he will still occasionally provide solid back up minutes.

Lol @ you fools, especially the Spurhaters amongst us, thinking you know , let alone more than the best GM in the bidness. You know squat. Now get bent you loathsome waste of Earth space.

I agree on Mills. He signed for paltry money even after 2014 where he had tons of back-breaking three's in that Finals.
He's also easily the best locker-room guy maybe in the entire league, just an absolute character guy. He's easy to root for.

Gasol is a different figure to me. If he signed here at an earlier part of his career like Robert Horry it would be one thing.
But not only is this a guy who beat you in 2008, he went on to snub the Spurs in 2014 to chase money in Chicago. Who knows maybe he would've been a guy that put those 2015 and 2016 Spurs teams over the top.

I totally get the 3/48m contract was rewarding him for opting out last July for the Chris Paul sweepstakes. But even with that he's grossly over-paid for both his worth, contribution, and history with the Spurs.

And yes.. Agreed 100%

I'd much rather Pau be moved.. I get why he got what he did, but agreed. It was an overpay, especially with the style of play the league has transitioned to.

[monkeypunk]

It's a big deal if that certain situation is practice. He can't hit in games against other teams.

[BackHome]

If we bring Forbes back I am going to have to get back on the sauce. Man he sucks so. Damn he sucks so bad on defense and he is shorter then Mills why??? Why???

[SpursDynasty85]

It's a big deal if that certain situation is practice. He can't hit in games against other teams.

Based on what? He had the highest 3 pt % on our team last year. He has more upside than what he has shown for us so far, mainly because of our dysfunctional pg play and SF play last year. Just saying for the money, corporate knowledge, and shooting ability Spurs could do far worse right now.

[BackHome]

What upside he is not going to get taller or faster??

[SpursDynasty85]

What upside he is not going to get taller or faster??

The upside is that the team chemistry will give more open shots to Bryn. When open he is a knockdown shooter. Not a bad thing to have on the bench. He is one guy on a 15 man roster and going to make less than most.

Since the fat lady hasn't sung yet, it's hard to tell how much grease paint they're wearing.

Hard to imagine they are $80MM clowns, though.

No he isn't. That's why he ing sucks.

Carmelo is worse than anderson. Always has been. Media hyped and you all fell for it

[Mugen]

Uncle Dennis could get hit by a ice cream truck and Kawhi could sign an extension for the minimum and the offseason would still be a loss because of ing Bryn come back.
