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

this is the best possible scenario for the lakers

when PG was dealt to OKC he never stated he didn't want to be there. the fact that kawhi is unhappy about being dealt makes me feel a little better about this not turning into PG 2.0 where kawhi stays in toronto

but damn, its hard not to feel terrible for derozan. face of the franchise for years now, just gets told he won't be traded, and now this. although i think he'll be great playing for pop. lowry+healthy kawhi will make noise in a lebron-less east and the spurs will still be a bubble playoff team. good trade for both


also, it's wrong to compare kawhi and PG. when PG was dealt from indy to OKC there were never any reports stating he was unwilling to commit there or that he was unhappy to be dealt there. just that "LA was his preference."

if these reports of kawhi being unhappy about being dealt to TOR are true then things are very much still in our favour. my only fears are he starts a bromance with lowry or that he's dealt to the clips at the deadline. but like others have said, its very simple. if kawhi wants to be a laker he will. if not, oh well

 

I think that's what Magic and even LeBron will pitch to him. I gotta think LeBron learned a bit from his relationship with Kyrie.

 

Both of you overlooking the large animal in the room ....



NO ... Sillies .... what does OX want?

 

What if kawhi dont show up

kawhi came up with pop and duncan

there's no way he'll fail to report to TOR. he knows that'll completely destroy his rep and what he'll lose because of it

i still have a hard time believing he'd up and leave TOR if they make a deep playoff run but like i said, if he wants to be a laker he will

DeMar pissed. Whatever. Have enough on my hands worrying about the Lakers. But very happy we wanted no part of being bent over by San Antonio.

 

He should be more pissed getting bounced every year in the PO's...

 

We can discuss a deal with Kawhi and the Raps. The Spurs weren't going to deal him to us and never intended to, IMO.

That chapter is over now. If Leonard wants to be a Laker, make it happen. We can discuss a deal by this February or work an S&T next summer if that is an advantageous route both parties want to pursue.

This gives us much more flexibility for now, but again, let's see....

 

or if any of them stagnates in any way. what if ingram shows up and is just last year's ingram? hurts our position. very important that the team performs well this year, imo. it's why the post-lebron signings made me a bit nervous. we need ingram, kuz, or lonzo to have a bynum-like breakout.

wonder what he means by "...for a bit of nothing". is he saying that kawhi is damaged goods or that there's no chance he re-signs there? or something else?

Guess you haven't seen the revisionist history going on currently in the resurrected Alleyhoops thread on Bynum. Bad attitude and one dimensional.
