And has been in his ear all year about it.
Spurs have been pretty irritated since he took over as his manager, and the friction has to do with him sitting.
Was told this today from a pretty reliable source.
If nothing can be fixed, and if Kawhi is on his way to LA this summer, blame his uncle.
...
only one sauce? not multiple?
It's been rumors on top of rumors... river has pebbles in it.
Maybe Green knows about it and hired his new manager to get him the heck out of dodge too?
Frankly Magic Johnson has been tampering with superstars left and right.. up and down.
Kawhi is a cancer.
more a thread with the spurstalk stamp
If he's predetermined that he's going to L.A., why would either be willing to give up the requisite assets (which Clippers don't even have)? Maybe if James were willing to sign with Lakers, on the condition that they trade for Leonard, but James isn't stupid. A team of them, Ball and spare parts isn't a contender.
Outside of that scenario, neither L.A. team has the makings of a championship core and though Lakers obviously have better young talent, it's difficult to envision him wanting the spotlight that would come with being known as Lakers savior or waiting on their kids to develop.
Still say if he wants out, he's traded to Celtics. They can offer the best package and like Thunder with George, they'd likely take the risk.
Kuzma, Ingram and the like would be nice next to Dijon, White, Blossomgame even Rudy moving forward.
Just one. Ruined my day.
His uncle said something quite different to the press and if this is true the FO will be able to sue the family for every penny they have. He is being paid almost $40 million for this season and next to play and can’t sit out legally unless injured. He’s free to leave in 19/20.
It's pretty simple: if he signs the the SuperMax this summer, we have nothing to worry about. If he declines, he's being traded.
I didnt make this thread to convince anyone of anything.
Im just sharing information I was told.
OKC gave up crap they didn't want to pay any more. No way the Spurs would get anything decent out of Boston if Kawhi says he's going to LA.
Basically this.
That's assuming the Spurs offer it. I think with a player like Kawhi, you almost HAVE to....But there have to be some concerns if he misses the entire season with a possibly degenerative knee condition.
They likely didn't mind getting out of Oladipo's contract, but still viewed him as an asset at the same time, as well as Sabonis.
The only other chance Celtics might have at the type of player who could conceivably put them over the top anytime soon, is Davis. If they can get Leonard first, there's no sense of waiting. They'd be prohibitive favorites to get to the Finals and capable of beating Warriors. You dare a player to walk away from that.
mormon hayward tbh
I don't see the attraction of LA ...
1) Taxes
2) Cost of Living
3) no where close to a play off team
4) advertising dollars doesn't exactly flow to LA/NY markets exclusively anymore. Plus, he's not one for the big spot light as it is ...
He loses the super max contract unless Spurs deal him to the lakers? And then that would strip the lakers of any assets going forward ...
I just will not accept that he doesn't want to play bc he wants out. No way. That is the worst move I have seen in ANY NBA player. Heck Paul George wanted to be traded and was open about it and was still playing...
It does remind me of Kyrie Irving though. The rumors that came out of that situation were the Kyrie has a minor knee surgery will get done in the offseason, but if he wasn't traded he was going to have it done mid season and thus not be available to play for the Cavs. https://www.boston.com/sports/boston...g-knee-surgery
I have been worried Kawhi has necrosis in that quad tendon. It will suck if he comes out with something like that. ^ If he wanted to push himself out, he would be making more noise about it...Vardon reports that after Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert refused to honor Irving’s trade request, the All-Star guard threatened to sit out the season to have surgery on his knee, “convincing Gilbert and Cleveland’s front office that the relationship was not salvageable,” according to multiple unnamed sources.
The procedure, which Vardon described as “a follow” to the surgery Irving had in 2015 to fix his broken left kneecap, is typically done in the offseason. However, Irving reportedly threatened to not come to training camp and schedule the operation during the regular season.
- endorsement money would outweigh taxes
- cost of living is pretty lol-worthy if you're making NBA max dollars
- a lot more things to do than san antonio
- great weather, location, oceans, etc
- different political leaning...
His family is closer too. He's local basically...
Yep, this. Spurs will trade him if he declines the max.
Get in his ear all you want.
We just took him to a couple of 60+ win seasons, WCF in position to steal home court, we can offer the supermax, we brought him up, and made him the Man...with an All-Star 2nd option that follows his lead.
Unless he's really disgruntled with the Spurs, they've got arguably the best offer on the market - no matter how egregiously PATFO handled the offseason.
Do you guys seriously think Kawhi ing Leonard is starry-eyed for that LA lifestyle? really?
See this sucks because Spurs could have easily gotten Kyrie for Leonard from Cavs. Irving wanted to play for this team. Now Boston would probably not let Irving go even for Leonard.
