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.

Rather see Kawhi in NY than in LA. Fuck the Lakers.

[Primer]

I don’t think LA has their first next year, it goes to Boston. So it would have to be 2021.

That's why we don't take both of their 1sts this year, so we can get next years. I think next years draft will be better and I don't see Derozan greatly improving the Clips if we take Harris, so I'd rather spread the picks out a bit.

Dang it, if the Lakers get Kawhi that kills some really nice DeRozan to LA trades.

imagine feeling betrayed by the team that invested years into developing you into a superstar, put you up on the pedestal previously occupied by the greatest player of his generation, and still wanted to pay you $220M even after you sat out an entire year. That's some serious Wormtongue shit from Uncle Grima.

I agree, not worried about the knicks, they will find a way to fail anyway

[rocwell]

Sources: So far, Leonard has expressed nothing directly to Spurs about future. Lakers and Clippers interest Leonard -- and both teams would move quickly to assemble packages to acquire Leonard. Spurs won't rush. Leonard and his camp had shown interest in $219M super max deal.

The Knicks also don't have any assets to trade for Kawhi other than the Zinger. The Spurs are not trading Kawhi for the #9 overall pick.

Would the Knicks trade the Zinger for Kawhi tho?

It's too bad Wiggins is a dud.. Can't wait for a Canadian super star that wants to go "home" in free agency. Hopefully that'll be RJ.

Knicks have better assets to make a deal because they have Porzingis. That's at least some good value for Kawhi and someone the Spurs can build around.

I mean if Bargnani is worth the Number 9 pick, then Kawhi has to be, right?

The trade talk would start and end there, he's the only player on all 3 teams mentioned (LAL, LAC, NYK) that is remotely worth trading Kawhi for.

So that means the "sources" saying Kawhi wants out have to be directly from Kawhi's camp to be meaningful.

Or there's some major tampering going on.

Is Zinger able to play at all next year? Saw a report saying he might miss the entire year. I know it's Zinger but by the end of the year his contract ends. So not sure a team like SA would want that. I mean what if he doesn't heal right and isn't the same guy he used to be?
