Can they do a sign and trade with him? sign him to the max to maximize the spurs leverage? i guess there is no reason for Kawhi to do it unless it was all but guaranteed we were sending him to LA.

Pretty sure you can't sign and trade on a supermax deal. Otherwise, there wouldn't be the arguments about how much money he'd be leaving by not signing with San Antonio.

Pretty Sure the Clips traded Blake after he signed a supermax

Kawhi can't be traded for a year if he signs supermax

Leonard's team of advisers including his agent, Mitch Frankel, and his uncle and business manager, Dennis Robertson reportedly believes the league's most low-key superstar can over time make up the financial difference in endorsement money and a new shoe deal if he moves to a higher-profile market.
There is growing suspicion among a collection of NBA agents a naturally suspicious group that Robertson is aiming to build his own marketing company with his nephew as its signature client, and would like to position Leonard in a glamour market to do so.
Multiple agents say Robertson a former banking executive has approached other players about wanting to be their manager.

I'm not fully up on Dennis the Menace's resume, but shouldn't "banking executive" say "branch manager"?

"I think they're in the driver's seat for Kawhi because I think the Lakers have given up. The Sixers have given up and with the Nets, Bulls and Hawks spending their cap space, it makes it harder to assemble a multi-team trade. I think the Raptors are in the driver's seat."

If guitarsoup is right that it's about a $70 million difference, no way in hell hes making that up in endorsements AND reaching far beyond his salary plus lower endorsements in San Antonio.
He might very well out earn that over, say 7-8 years, but it's not a given, and it won't be by leaps and bounds. Figure in state income taxes and it's probably a push.
But maybe this banker dude knows something more than my simple mind.
Endorsements are actually work too. It's not like they just pay you to stuff your closet and dresser with their crap.

Will end up a net loss if he sits out another year. Who gives him a big contract then?

Hopefully it's nothing like the "godfather" offer the lakers made us.
I have as much contempt for POTUS as the next guy but take this **** to the politics board.flashplayer said:

I want to see Pop offer Kawhi in a trade to the Russian national team in exchange for Putin's dirt on Trump.
Who was the "primary alpha" on the 2014 Championship Team?Guitarsoup said:
DeRozan could be a good #2 guy. Same as LMA.
Pair him with LMA and all we need to do is find our primary alpha player and we are set. Sounds easy!
Ideally sure. Thats why I said having Kawhi stay is option ONE.Guitarsoup said:
The GOAT PF.
That team was out of the ordinary from most championship teams because it was so well balanced without anyone that was just a head and shoulders greater player, unlike what you have seen with Durant, LeBron, Curry, Kobe, etc. Putting together a team like that isn't exactly easy, but I would love to have some great veterans and a half dozen guys that can shoot threes at an elite level and defend around the smartest post player ever. Not sure LaMarcus and DeRozan is a good start on that type of build.
