yeah if kawhi is like "i will re-sign with only the clippers or lakers" then.........

When the Spurs trade Kawhi for the #2 pick, the Kings lose Kawhi a year later, and Spurs draft Doncic as franchise cornerstone for the next 15 years <<<— Anthony Nash (@_anthonynash) June 15, 2018

im cool w doncic to spurs, everyone thinks phx is gonna take him tho
― sprout god (lag∞n), Friday, 15 June 2018 18:09 (five years ago) link
but i kinda like sending him someplace else and denying the lakers a chance to make a superteam bc fuck that shit, watching the nba would be fucking torture

it wld be kinda funny if the lakers put together a superteam but still got smoked by the celtics who have more than 3 good players

Kawhi Leonard isn't concerned about missing out on the supermax, sources tell ESPN. There's a feeling of betrayal that at this juncture, appears irreparable.— Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) June 15, 2018

If Kawhi Leonard does become available in trade talks, the Boston Celtics will be interested in probing the Spurs about a deal, league sources tell ESPN. Boston inquired about a trade prior to the February deadline, sources said.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 15, 2018

honestly...if the spurs weren't going to get lebron (narrator: they werent), their title hopes were pretty dim anyway...not paying someone a supermax and possibly getting some young stars in return could be a good setup but idk man
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Friday, 15 June 2018 18:19 (five years ago) link
i feel like u want to keep yr superstar players at all costs but also im not seeing a title path there for them either
― sprout god (lag∞n), Friday, 15 June 2018 18:21 (five years ago) link
also the kawhi injury situation is..........weird
like everyones gonna be lining up to trade for him but the weird injury sitch has got to at least give pause
― sprout god (lag∞n), Friday, 15 June 2018 18:22 (five years ago) link
Talked to a high-ranking Spurs official, who said the organization hasn’t been told that (yet, apparently). But that could be coming. https://t.co/cIAa3Q6AWv— Michael C. Wright (@mikecwright) June 15, 2018

guys, kawhi is not hurt. he wanted out plain n simple.

if he wasnt injured and just wanted out he maybe shdve told the spurs that idk (maybe he did)

No, it's not a typo: The Los Angeles Lakers are now 6-1 to win the 2018-19 NBA title at Westgate. They opened 20-1. https://t.co/0dhRXRrgp5— Ben Fawkes (@BFawkesESPN) June 15, 2018

Everything about the situation is weird. It should give the Celtics pause, but LA or Sacramento should obviously do it.
I feel like we’re simultaneously underrating him as a player and the weirdness of last season.
― Allen (etaeoe), Friday, 15 June 2018 18:32 (five years ago) link
We’re also underestimating the strength of that LMA and Kawhi team.
― Allen (etaeoe), Friday, 15 June 2018 18:33 (five years ago) link
they were good but not good enough
― sprout god (lag∞n), Friday, 15 June 2018 18:34 (five years ago) link
Feel like the Spurs are a sharp enough organization and the players are onboard enough with everything that there must be a lot more we don’t know. So many shots were being taken at him. That doesn’t seem like the usual “Spurs way.”

wonder if the whole culture thing just kinda crumbled w/o duncan
― sprout god (lag∞n), Friday, 15 June 2018 18:36 (five years ago) link
Kawhi is great but the injury is 10 on a 1-10 scale weird, and considering how many players Pop has handled over the past couple decades without drama* it’s a red flag. Not enough to not want him maybe but still...
*there was Rodman drama I guess
― omar little, Friday, 15 June 2018 18:38 (five years ago) link
Also hearing the Spurs have not received this memo from Kawhi. A sign of the divide that his camp chose to take it to the social media streets first via the media... https://t.co/B9yYN6uAan— Sam Amick (@sam_amick) June 15, 2018

Not sure it’s a culture thing as much as it is a Kawhi thing. Though I agree on the overall point.

the only hitch w a celtics deal is they have to include an actually good player to match salaries so are unlikely to also put one of their youngus in the deal, cld see kyrie + one of their good draft picks tho

someone on twitter pointed out to me that they cld just sign n trade smart, obvs youd have to do it for way over his market value but if the contract was short and made the deal work i cld see it
― sprout god (lag∞n), Saturday, 16 June 2018 00:07 (five years ago) link
i didnt think sign and trades still existed in the new cba
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Saturday, 16 June 2018 00:10 (five years ago) link
plus marcus smart might hasten pop's death so no
i think u cn still sign n trade but yeah i am recalling something about it being weird now or something
― sprout god (lag∞n), Saturday, 16 June 2018 00:12 (five years ago) link
pop n marcus wld be a funny combo true, but i bet in the end they wld become best friends
