A source close to #LeBron tells me that #Kawhi Leonard reached out to James, telling him he very much wanted to play together. They spoke about Kawhi's lockdown defensive ability, which would alleviate pressure off of LeBron.

Above the rim now reports a combo of smart, rozier, brown, morris, and two firsts.  Any combination that works.  Waiting for a long term commit from Leonard.

Love it, King of fake news tells others they are fake news bahahaha!!

Anyway who would be our back up PG when KI goes down for 20 games Larkin?

No, we just add one of those dime-a-dozen players I keep hearing about that can do everything Smart does

Kuzma doesn’t sound like a very intelligent person

Good. Hope Spurs take every young player they have and future assets that way the Lakers can finish third in the west for the next 3 years followed by Lebron being to old and falling off the map talent wise!

Any possibility Leonard just wants out of Spurs but he doesn't want the team he goes to to be gutted trading for him so he makes up the only to LA stuff?

Per SI:

San Antonio has informed teams its preferred target in any Leonard trade is the Celtics' Jayson Tatum, sources say. Teams have noted this is likely a negotiating tactic, and it’s widely believed in league circles Boston is more likely to propose a deal centered around Kyrie Irving and future picks. But based on previous behavior, the Celtics are unlikely to overpay for Leonard.

per SI

Philadelphia’s internal discussions have focused on potential trade packages offering various young players and future draft selections. One team source says preliminary discussions with San Antonio revealed the Spurs have strong interest in a package involving burgeoning forwards Dario Saric and Robert Covington as well as a future first-round pick. A potential, more serious offer that Philadelphia is weighing internally includes Saric and Covington and the 2021 Miami Heat unprotected first-round pick the Sixers obtained in their draft-night deal with the Phoenix Suns.

Saric + Covington + #1?

Philly would take that in a second.

Yeah...that is a pretty weak trade. Spurs would get more from the Lakers IMO. Covington is an overpaid disappearing act.

Saric is a nice piece but that is awful return for KL, Fakers can beat that!

Reports saying lakers are off the table for SA.  Likely philly or Boston

[johnnygreen]

So according to SI, they want either a blue chip player in Tatum, or 2 fringe starters and an unprotected pick in 50 years?

Where do you see this?

I do not want Kawhi in Boston. I do not want Aing to trade Tatum for a one year rental.

He won’t.

He might trade Brown for Kawhi’s verbal commitment.
