Meanwhile, Woj and ESPN are reporting that Kawhi has been intentionally avoiding Pop and wants the trade. Really bizarre situation.

Woj has been behind. Said Pop is heading to Cali to meet with Kawhi when the report came out that the 2 already met. Espn of course rushing and speculating before accurate news.

I wonder what Jonathan Simmons thinks about all this. He left for Orlando because he thought he'd be Kawhi's backup forever here. Turns out, he would have been a starter on a playoff team.

Leonard had told confidants that he did not want to sit down with Popovich and has been purposely difficult for the Spurs to reach recently. Among the issues, Leonard is angry over what he believes was the Spurs' mishandling of his quad injury, and he remains irate with public comments from teammate Tony Parker and Popovich that he felt were not supportive of him, league sources said.
Quote:
The Spurs' official priority has been to try to talk with Leonard to work through the issues, league sources said. That has been communicated to those teams seeking trade talks, although the Spurs have encouraged some rival team executives calling about Leonard to present an offer if they so choose, league sources said.
Quote:
So far, the Spurs have been largely reluctant to give teams guidance on the players, or packages, that would interest them in trades, sources said.
These two have been a step behind in covering this situation, so I'm not sure how much stock to put into what their sources have to say.Pumpkinhead said:

Nailed it. At this point, I'm not sure I want him to stay. Of course, that's based on everything I've read, so who knows how accurate it is... Just feels like he quit on the team and is listening to morons in his corner. The Spurs/Pop made Kawhi. If he gets his panties in a wad over the organization being frustrated this past season, adios.AG 2000' said:
This whole thing is bizarre and un-Spurs like.
Just ready for it to end.

Kawhi Leonard told head coach Gregg Popovich that wants to leave the San Antonio Spurs, according to ESPN's Stephen A. Smith.
"The Spurs are wasting their time here," Smith said Wednesday on First Take. "... From what my sources tell me, Kawhi Leonard met with Gregg Popovich face-to-face, looked him dead in his face and said: 'I don't want to be here. I don't want to be in San Antonio any longer.'"
"... He wants to be in L.A," Smith added.
Maybe. He's also about two years away from being the oldest head coach in NBA history.flashplayer said:
I'm not 100% convinced Pop is that close to retirement. I doubt even he knows or has made up his mind.

If Kawhi just want to play at home, fine. If it's because of the injury and what not, he's a little baby *****
