Who says he wants out? Did a new article come out or something? Did he speak to the media? Or lemme guess... More assumptions?
We know this is headed to a Paul George situation since Leonard wants out and only has one year on his contract, giving him an effective veto power over any trade. So that's going to severely limit his value on the trade market if his uncle wants him in LA the same way George wanted. I don't see the point in just giving him away for scraps another team doesn't want like Indiana did with the Thunder. I say sit him and suspend him and force him to either broaden his range of teams he'll extend with or force the team his uncle wants him on to go and make moves to land the Spurs worthwhile assets for rebuilding with if they want a Leonard who hasn't been inactive for two years. He can spend all of next season rehabbing in New York again if he sabotages the trade value the Spurs could get for him.

Him being AWOL from the team speaks louder than any quote.
We should do anything to sabotage his value further imo fwiw
The guy is with team doctors... He isn't in Hawaii sipping coladas
It's not really about that IMO. It's about forcing his uncles' desired trade partner into finding worthwhile assets for the Spurs if they want their guy's skills to not atrophy with another year away from a team.
They need to end the relationship. The players are upset with him and how he's handled this. I have been told a couple of things, which is why back at the trade deadline the Spurs got the approval to trade him.
I haven't seen the relationship improve since so I'm sure the Spurs trade him.
They need to not get completely hosed with nothing of value to build around. The Spurs can't get equal value so I'm not saying they need to hold out for that, but an offer of Ingram + Kuzma sounds like , especially when the Lakers probably won't be in the lottery after trading for Leonard. What the Clippers can offer is even worse.
I have been told that Boston is seriously interested. From what I understood the Spurs will consider Boston's proposed deal.
First part is true... Not the second... From what I understand, spurs will offer Kawhi a contract
If Leonard says he isn't signing in Boston then Ainge's offer will dry up just like with PG13.
So his injury is so bad he can't sit for a few hours with his teammates during the playoffs?
Kawhi will be the MVP next year.
Why are you in such denial bro? Kawhi is a top 5 player when healthy and it sucks that this season has turned out the way it has, but the Spurs brass will strongly consider trading him. They will also consider offering a contract to him and see how that goes, but there is no denying the Spurs are really upset with Kawhi and if a team offers them something that they think will help the team then they might just trade him.
Assumptions obviously. Speculation too.
As for me, until there are real rumors about him being involved in trades like there were last summer with Danny and LMA, I don't believe he wants out. We shall see what happens.
Him being injured an entire season and not playing bc of it though, makes me very uncertain about his overall career future anyways. I don't think the Spurs offer him a supermax considering how this season went and how he's still not ready to go. And that may eventually sour the relationship beyond repair. We shall see what happens.
Lol...were not getting Ingram or kuzma my dude
The poor bas cannot even wipe how own ass much less risk being suspended
Lol Kawhi is so gone I don’t even think the door will hit his ass on the way out as fast as he is going.
If the relationship is beyond repair the Spurs are not going to hold on to him and have another year of drama. They’ll get the best deal they can and move on.
Kawhi is going to sign the supermax this offseason and win MVP the next. Watch.
Suspend? How's that going to help next Spurs next season? The following year he will become UFA, then Spurs will lose him for nothing. I say trade him, get quality players in return.
Lol I hope you're joking. The best players in the NBA are clearly LeBron, Durant, Harden, Westbrook, AD, Giannis in that order. They will dominate MVP voting the next few years
Edit: forgot Curry

If he vetoes trades to anywhere but LA they're not going to get quality players in return. That's my whole point of suspending him, to make him choose between another wasted season, signing an extension elsewhere with a team that might make a better offer, or forcing his desired destination to make moves to acquire assets useful to the Spurs if they don't want him sitting on his ass for another year. That's how it helps the Spurs, it lets them gain back a little leverage. And I'd rather get nothing in return than get crap. Suspending him keeps him away from the team so he's not as huge a distraction.
his leg has bothered him for years. I bet that chronic problem will continue. The NY docs can't work magic on a chronically injured leg. It will be back. a tragedy.
