Where is Kawhi Leonard going to end up?

[Spoiled Bratt]

I don't know what's going on with KL and my Spurs but I don't see how he stays on our team past the draft. Apparently, he's pissed off at our medical crew and his uncle has been badmouthing the organisation since day #1. We had veterans like Tony Parker go public about the situation and it just seems as if there's no way back.

With that said, who would be possible fits and what would the return look like? I can see Boston and Philly going hard after him and they have several assets they can move to make it work.

Does Boston really need him though? They got a lot of players that play the same position that are really good.

Kawhi was in town with the Sixers doctors. I'm sure there is as much to that story as when LeBron was in town looking at schools on the main line.

Although I do think the Sixers are going to make a big move here.

Trade ya Lowry for him.

I'll throw in DeFrozen for free.

Kawhi would be an amazing fit on the Sixers but I’m not sure they would be willing to give up what it would cost.

Boston doesn't have the cap space. Horford, Hayward & Kyrie are all already making top salaries.

Philly could but I highly doubt they will give up serious assets for a guy who will be a free agent next summer.

Lakers is my guess if they don't land two stars in free agency. if they can get him to sign his max w/ the Spurs, I'm positive they'd move Ingram for him. Would be a good deal for the Spurs, providing he has no intentions of staying.

But people need to remember that Duncan was pretty much out the door in 2000. (to Orlando) & Pop convinced him to stick around. Kawhi is arguably at the same point in his career, already won a ring, finals MVP, top player in the league. Pop is staying until at least 2020/2021.

That was proven to be wrong.

Philly would be a good place for Leonard IMO. I think they go after him or Lebron this summer.

Paul George is another possibility.

My selfish hope is the Lakers, but I think Philadelphia will make a major run for him. I don't think they'd hesitate to give up Fultz in a package if they can land Kawhi, with more of course going to San Antonio along with him.

I've been of the opinion since they drafted him that the 76ers made the Fultz selection in order to use him as a major trade asset. It never made any sense to me drafting a ball dominant point guard when you have Ben Simmons already on your team.

Simmons hadn’t played a game and never played point guard before. So there was no guarantee that it would work. It wasn’t clear whether he would be a point guard or a point forward. Fultz was an excellent shooter and had shown that he could play off the ball, so he looked like the perfect fit. And he still may be. But I agree, he could be a player the Sixers might be willing to part with for Kawhi. But the Sixers would have to be sure that he would be signed long term.

I would love it if the Lakers signed him next year in free agency, but I wouldn't want to put together a big package in a trade for him.

 

[Terry Yake]

lakers trading one of their young pieces for kawhi would be really dumb

If they had assurances from Kawhi that he'd re-sign, then I don't see why it'd be dumb. He's better than anyone they have by an extremely large margin.

Fultz wont get them Leonard.

Kawhi is eligible for a 5 year, $219 million super max. If he commits to a sign & trade, why not? He wants to play in his hometown so I'm sure he'd for go for it.

As much as I would love Kawhi on the Celtics Hayward, Brown, Tatum, Smart etc. The 2 and 3 spots aren't a big need.

Would you trade leonard for wiggins if you were the spurs? Jimmy butler+ kawhi on the same team would be cool. Wiggins would be the #1 (#2 behind aldridge maybe?) Scorinf option.
Kawhi is probably worth a lot more but idk .Just throwing stuff to a wall ykno .

If he wants out and that's the best deal they can get, Pop could possibly help Wiggins become a better defensive player.

Wiggins isn’t that good, and he doesn’t have that type of value.

All signs point to the Lakers - Kawhi Leonard to the Lakers

 

[Morozov]

Would love to see him end up with Boogie somewhere.

Just a reminder: Spurs hope to repair relationship with Kawhi Leonard, offer-him $219 million

Looks like the Spurs would like to keep him.
