the warriors have a 5 all-star lineup, kawhi is leaving, pop is almost 70, tony parker plays in another city, zach lavine and jabari parker are getting paid a small nation's gdp to be terrible, the celtics are about to create a team with the least amount of height variation in nba history, gambling is legal, adam silver called my mom a bitch on the elevator, and rajon rondo is a laker with lebron, lance, and lavar

Sources: Kawhi Leonard considers participating in USA Basketball camp

...

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich will lead the camp in his role as national team coach.

interesting

So far, the Sixers have held out three players -- Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz -- in talks. Boston hasn't included five players, including Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward and Al Horford. The Celtics and Sixers have offered pick-heavy packages that haven't moved the Spurs, league sources said.

lol what xp

just keeps getting weirder and weirder

Kawhi just wants to lay to rest the rumors that his injury wasn't faked.

windhorst and lowe saying today they think the raptors are the frontrunners now bcuz of what the celtics and sixers are apparently unwilling to trade

hmmm...makes a lot of sense to try to take advantage of the void lebron left. what are their offers?

windy said og had to be in the deal. so derozan, og, one other of their young guys, and a pick?

would be cool to see if pop could get anything more out of derozan

dang it's actually hard to make the salaries work on this

unless i'm missing something the spurs don't have good filler salaries to send out. they need about $10M on top of kawhi to take back derozan, og, and siakam.

the kings traded for ben mclemore lol... i wonder if he'll just abscond to europe

X-post

Send out Patty Mills

yeah...if i’m the raptors i’m not thrilled by that

if you're the spurs do you really want derozan back? i think you could make arguments for either side

if they got back derozan and OG and kept LMA they could prob fight for a 4th or 5th seed which is a pretty good option if you don't want to tear it down. but maybe you do wanna tear it down?

i am assuming they want to be respectable for pop’s last couple years.

the kings traded for ben mclemore lol... i wonder if he'll just abscond to europe

haha man poor guy

San Antonio and Toronto are engaged in serious talks on a trade centered on Kawhi Leonard and DeMar DeRozan, league sources tell Yahoo.

— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) July 18, 2018

hey now

Kawhi Leonard has no desire to play in Toronto, league source tells ESPN.

— Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) July 18, 2018

Me either

Well, what exactly does he want?

Cause not sure I entirely buy this Kawhi being meekly handled by overbearing family/agents sending out mixed messages to obscure their goals.

Leaking this Kawhi news at 3:00 AM eastern time is a fantastic troll move.

Raptors know the risks involved with potential Kawhi Leonard acquisition, given his preference for playing in L.A. But they have great faith in their young players going forward regardless of what Leonard decides to do in 2019.

Someone doesn't seem pleased

DeMar's IG story right now 👀 pic.twitter.com/RQit4AUYwQ

Toronto has reached agreement in principle to acquire San Antonio's Kawhi Leonard for package that includes DeMar DeRozan, league sources tell ESPN. Trade is larger on both sides, and players are still being informed of their inclusion in the deal. Trade call with league today.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 18, 2018

WOJBOMB

Wonder if it's Green on the Spurs side?

team USA camp gonna be fascinating

spurs bailing Toronto out of that DeRozan contract is weird

maybe they think they can make him into a more complete player

Spurs have agree to trade Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green to Toronto for DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl and a protected 2019 first-round pick, league sources tell ESPN. Trade call with league office is starting shortly.

We finally have a young, good centre!

kawhi waking up in the middle of the night and attempting to torpedo the trade is so beautiful and perfect

the kawhi mouthpieces in the media have been as blatant as anything i can remember

this deal seems to be a carbon copy of the PG trade where the raptors basically figure if kawhi walks they at worst are getting off the derozan contract... we’ll see if that thinking burns them the way it did OKC and oladipo (tho i guess OKC wouldn’t trade PG for oladipo so they’d prob disagree)

pretty interesting the spurs opted for this route. i think they’ll be pretty good and derozan will be placed in the best possible context there. don’t have much of an opinion about poertl. maybe it was the best offer out there.

i guess we don’t know what we’re getting out of kawhi but lowry-green-kawhi-OG-serge crunch time 5... not touching boston still but could easily be put no. 2 in the east over the sixers

kawhi cant risk missing any more games "injured" without seriously torpedoing his value

if he just wants to go to LA it still prob won’t matter. i don’t think the clippers are in a position to turn down kawhi cuz he sat out 2 years being a baby.
