Kawhi wants out of San Antonio

[flyerhawk]

All this just sounds like Spurs using Lakers to drive up the bids by BOS/PHI. No way they trade him to LA even if they offered a Billy King deal....

There is always a way but I agree that they are only going to trade him to the Lakers if it is highway robbery.

yeah, i'm sure Pop's thinking is if he's GOING to trade Kawhi it'll be a cold day in Hell if it's to the Lakers...

#Cavs are very close to a trade with the Phoenix #Suns



would not surprise me one bit if its Kevin Love.

The Suns could be pretty good if they get Love and grab a PG. no joke lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

Rumors are the Celtics are NOT willing to include Brown or Tatum in any trade.

REPORT: Kawhi Leonard's Shocking True Feelings About Playing With LeBron James, Revealed

Sounds like Stephen A is certain that Lebron is going to LA and that Kawhi isn't keen on playing with Lebron due to the circus he brings.

Stephen A is usually always wrong, so anything I hear from him I take with a grain of salt

Their offense would be potent, but good god would their defense be absolutely awful.

I mean what is being reported does on the face make sense. Kawhi is looking to make a real name for himself and get that "fuck you" endorsement money. If Lebron goes, he's second fiddle. That's the problem with anyone teaming up with Lebron. You're never going to get the real credit you deserve for playing with him.

It's like D-Wade went from a consensus top 5 player, to not being considered there after Lebron joined. It's not like he got any worse, he just sacrificed a bit for the good of the team. Same with people's view of Curry with Durant. Curry is not any worse than he was with his back to back MVP's. If anything he's better, but you don't see it because of a shadow.

Kawhi wants to go to LA, not only from a marketing standpoint, but to rebuild the team around himself. If anyone but Lebron or KD joins him, he's seen as the man. I can understand his hesitancy if there is any.

Rumor is Suns or Magic could be a 3rd team in Spurs Lakers deal.

Spurs don't want Lonzo, but Suns/Magic could provide a 1st round pick for him which would go to the Spurs.

 

[Shanemansj13]

The Spurs will be ready to win next year LOL.

Then the Spurs should hang up the phone.

 

[gordontrue]

I don't think Celtics are in any serious talks on Kawhi.

I think the Spurs want the Lakers to believe that they are.

Wojs tweets today read like Spurs leverage plays.

 

[Kold]

At this point, I have no clue what to believe anymore, as these reports seem to cone out by the hour

Getting Love would be a terrible, short sighted move for the Suns. Exactly the opppsite of what they need unless they get him in an exchange of salary dumps.

Wade was declining though, Kawhi is in his prime. While Lebron is the best right now, Kawhi could take over. If he is impatient like Kyrie was than it could cause problems. Kawhi doesn’t seem like that type of player but all this talk with him wanting out changes the mindset of the kind of player I think he was and now is. It depends on what he thinks is more important. The Spurs team was built around him and still think this Lakers team will be in time.

Mwh it’s for one year. He has an option next year. If tge dont give up mich it doesn’t hurt. They need a veteran to win, plain and simple

If I'm any type of team with an extremely young/promising core that can't compete, I'm trying to do everything to make this supposed Lakers/Spurs trade happen if it nets me Lonzo

now that actually makes some sense.

I think Pop would retire before dealing with LaVar.....although- how pissed would Lavar be if Lonzo was sent to exile in Orlando? lol....it would be almost worth it to watch that shit show.
