Kawhi Leonard Discussion: “I’m A Snake Clipper Guy.”

Lol. Yup. I'm like that meme with Lakers fans coming out of the sewer.

 

I’m giving no more energy to this Kawhi stuff. In the immortal words of Hyman Roth:

“I’m going to take a nap. When I wake up, if the money is on the table, I’ll know I have a partner. If it isn’t, I’ll know I don’t.”

 

One thing I’m not completely sure about is what we have actually offered the Spurs so far. there’s conflicting reports on what the Lakers have actually offer the Spurs.

There’s been some reports that said we did not make Kuzma available, and then other reports (recently as 2 days ago) where we haven’t even offered Ingram.

So what did we actually offer? Hart, Zubac and a pick?

 

Spurs are at it again....

 

Do it Philly, we need someone in the East to stop the C Bags

 

Can someone confirm?
Apparently Ramona on ESPNLA710 said Lakers, Spurs and Hawks are working on a three team trade for Kawhi.

 

Would make all the sense in the world to do that!

Hope it's legit and we keep BI/Zo...

Spurs: Shroe, Kuz, Hart, Zu, draft compensation

ATL: Deng, Mills, draft compensation

LA: Kawhi, Pau

 

Believe no one

 

As we know, things can get done really fast. We don't want the cbags getting into serious talks with the Spurs over any players cause that can lead to something else.

 

coming in from the hot. as in it's still hotter than hades here in the valley.

Anyway... it's interesting that Tony Parker is gone. Going to bet Spurs FO told him privately that he was no longer welcome, he should make his own deal elsewhere and everyone would make nice about it in public. Real reason is that Spurs still hope for reconciliation with Leonard; hence they could not let Parker stick around after he poisoned the well with his ill-considered remarks.

Just thought I'd throw in one more variable here. It's clear Spurs are not going to get what they wanted out of any Leonard trade. But then again, they haven't given anyone permission to talk to Leonard or his representatives, let alone given any hint of Leonard's condition and the guy himself has always been pretty close mouthed to begin with. So we get nothing but leaks we can't trust the veracity of.

So think about this. It's back to square one for the Spurs FO. They know they screwed up this relationship bigly: now what could they do to signal to Leonard that would help him be open to staying? First thing they absolutely had to do was get rid of Parker. They did that. What other steps might they take along those lines. Who else said negative things about Leonard and is expendable? Expect that person gone as well. Expect that Popovich expressed his apologies in private when they met. Expect there will be public apologies if Leonard deems them necessary. Expect that Leonard will be given free reign to continue to engage his own medical team. Just please show up at training camp.

And back to hades ...
