    They're not leveraging any future they have for a rental.

    Mark words. If Kawhi is traded, it'll be to one of 3 teams:

    Philly
    Boston
    Washington for Wall.

    Cleveland's ineptitude keeps going unmentioned. Lebron left them high and dry in 2010, but they had ample opportunity to improve and didn't.

    After leaving in 2010, CLE had the following draft picks:
    2011: #1 (Irving), #4 (Thompson)
    2012: #4 (Waiters)
    2013: #1 (Bennett)
    2014: #1 (Wiggins).

    It's crazy they weren't much worse than they were when Lebron returned in 04. 2012 and 13 especially were colossal misses.

    Not to mention the disastrous Isaiah Thomas trade.

    They've reopened talks with LAL.

    I haven’t read the article, but...

    Ask yourself “Did they ask Lebron - if Kawhi was a Laker would you go there?”

    And was his answer “yes 100% if that happens I’m a laker”

    If that didn’t happen then this is BS.

    PS - This is BS

    No, LA is "making a push" for Kawhi.

    SAS didn't "reopen talks".

    @dviss1 is not wrong though. It was the Lakers that reopened talks with the Spurs and not the other way around. Spurs are just willing to listen.

    I doubt the Blazers are one of those teams. We wouldn't want to take any chances.

    I still don't get the appeal of the Lakers. LA the city, I absolutely understand. But that franchise? meh. They have so much inexperience in the front office and a perpetual drama with a shit roster that has missed the playoffs for five straight seasons. Why are they always in conversation for free agents?

    Chicago has cap space. NY can open up capspace. There are far better rosters that Lebron can just join without all this manipulation with PG/Kawhi/etc. I just don't get it.

    I like that the Celtics are involved. They have better assets and the Spurs would love to ship Kawhi East.

    Stephen A said LBJ texted KD telling him to come to LA with him. Lol the superstars of the NBA today are so WEAK. Anyone who think Lebron is better than Jordan is wrong, Id rather have Kobe over him too! Lebron has gotten to the finals every year playing in the weakest conference over the past 20 years. Honestly these Super Teams are disgusting, winning ONE on your own going through all the other stars is much tougher than winning 3 in a row on a team full of all stars imo.

    Don’t care where he goes as long as it’s out of earshot.
