    Was just thinking about it. I mean, sure the Spurs can offer good money, but career-wise, he's not the focal point of anything right now, and the promise that he will be can be made by any other team (and likely much more convincingly).

    Plus it's well known San Antonio always had problems attracting top notch talent, due to, among other things, being a small market, something that's crucial since the team would need to basically rebuild the core.

    If you were in his shoes, looking at the future of this team, what would be the arguments that would make you stay? I can think of: Pop is a proven coach and this is a stable franchise (although truthfully Tim was a big part of that).

    he has two promising point guards in Mills and Cojo, synergizes well with Green on both ends, his role on the offense has grown every year, and we can offer him the most $

    plus this...

    Parker not knowing his role will ultimately lead to Kawhi leaving the team...

    the spurs would match anything anyway. the only way he's leaving is if he signs a short term deal like Parsons or the QO

    If he signs the QO, that means that either the Spurs didn't offer an extension or he didn't agree to it, which I guess it means he's as good as gone.

    I think he enjoys the HEB products and commercials too much to leave.

    Why would Tim and Manu staying one more year matter on a four or five year deal? Either way, Kawhi knows they're not gonna be around for long.

    I've made a thread about this last year and this year..

    I have said numerous times, Kawhi doesn't really have a good reason to stay..

    He is a kid even TD, Manu, Tony wanted touches and minutes when they were young...He's barely averaging over 30 and shots a little bit over 12 shots a game. He's not going to stay in San Antonio..He's not going to get his Glory if he stays here

    Cause they keep promising him he's the future of the franchise? I don't know. I got nothing.

    Doesn't matter though. Spurs match whatever other teams throw at him. It's really up to Leonard what kind of deal he signs now.

    He can trust...? No-extension, no bigger role this season, and maybe no-max contract next summer. A rare interpretation of "face of the franchise" for the Spurs...

    Agree, he won't sign the QO if another team offer him a short-term max contract, then the Spurs will match...and he will leave the team in 2017.

    I've said before, there is not incentive for Leonard to stay in SA after 2017.
    No Tim/Pop/Manu, a small market/rebuilding team, and he'll have the opportunity to play for a real contender in a big market (which is supposedly his agent wants)

    Because like it or not, it's going to be a turning point for the franchise. If they stay, he knows that he has at least one year where the team will still likely contend. He won't get that in a lot of places. Now if you remove that, there's less of a reason to stick around due to the stuff I mentioned in the OP.

    Yup..

    Plus, the Parker factor is going to ruin everything..

    That contract is awful. Plus I wouldn't want to play with a PG that Ignores me for stretches when I just had 16 freaking points in the first half..

    He will stay simply because he's a restricted FA and the spurs will match whatever offer he gets. Pretty stupid thread this is considering this is the type of thread that should come up in 2019 when he will be an unrestricted FA.

    Pop would be the main reason, I think Kawhi holds quite a bit of loyalty to Pop and as long as Pop is around Kawhi would stay. After that who knows, hopefully the team would have either still been successful or have rebuilt a new core.

    Sadly Tony's contract will become toxic next seasons

    He will stay simply because he knows he will be exposed as an overrated scrub outside of Pop's system a la Jim Duncan circa 2004.

    If he sign a short-term offer like Parsons, two years and one more player option, and the Spurs match, we're talking about the 2017-18 season not 2019.
