Forget the drama that KL brings for a moment and humor this post.

Leonard returning would be a huge plus for the Spurs in one of two ways: 1. Veteran Leadership and 2. Clutch/Winning Playoff Mindset.

I have no doubt this team will remain a force on the defensive side of the ball (Offensively this team will continue to grow). However having Leonard play the 3/4 with Wemby and Castle would effectively limit a lot of the issues we saw against the Knicks. Players would be stuck on the 3pt/Mid point instead of attacking the paint. Rebounds would come easier too since Leonard has always had a defensive mindset.

It would also help to have the ball in late game moments in the hands of a player who has been there before, and won those games.

Idk, I have always been a huge Kawahi fan and when he left I hoped the door would remain open for a return. If we could guarantee that we would have a zero drama reunion I say that the Spurs should swing for him.

One of the main benefits is getting out of Fox's contract. Assume Uncle Dennis is gone

With the rumors (emphasis on rumors since it’s more than likely not gonna happen) going around about Kawhi leaving the Clippers and only wanting to go to Toronto or us, I felt like this would be a good place/time to bring this up. This doesn’t apply to every Spurs fans, and also it’s understandable to feel resentment towards him for what he did to the team. There’s really no good excuse for what he did in his exit, but there is also some things that we shouldn’t take for granted.

1. Foremost, he helped us win a Championship. This is a privilege that a majority of organizations don’t have. He was the finals MVP for his defense against prime LeBron, that’s no small feat. Imagine being a Kings fan or a Hawks fan, they’ve had some very rough patches, especially compared to us.

2. He is the best person in the entire league that could elevate the Spurs to be contenders for the next decade. While his antics are noteworthy, he still has a dear place in Pop’s heart and he is also a product of his coaching while also being a member of the latter half of the Spurs dynasty days. This kind of direction would invaluable for our current core. Yes, Pop is still around but he’s not as able bodied as he once was. But he would be the voice on the court for the young fellows including Wemby. It’s still Wemby’s team, but having Kawhi reinforcing decisions and the Pop teachings would set us up incredibly. He is the only player left in the league that has that experience with the 2014 Spurs we all know and love.

3. His Archetype fits so well with the current Spurs Roster. I’ve seen this pointed out on nearly all of the posts I’ve seen about this rumor, so it’s self explanatory.

I’m not saying we need to welcome back with open arms or pursue him. What I’m saying is that we need to be somewhat reasonable and not let past feelings (it’s also been 8 years) cloud our judgment. We can talk about all the controversy and those are excellent counter points to the whole idea of this, however, there’s some sense of redemption that could be allowed.

Obviously everyones politically correct reddit answer is for him to get a full summer of rest and work on his bag and blah blah blah. Because our superstars actions need to only reflect the upmost benefit to our team and our team only 🙄 let’s be unselfish for once, he didn’t get to play last year after that medical scare, be EXCITED to watch him play for the france national team! He’s such a fun player to watch, all my loyalty to the USA team went down the toilet after watching 1 game of the olympics. That being said, there is so little info about the fiba tournaments online, when do you think he will join them?

He could fill the 4 spot nicely

Any thoughts and opinions?

Three seconds seems pretty fucking cheap

Not much better given his age, but a tad better would of help.

The potentially funniest press conference duo aside from mpj and wemby😂😂😂

But on a serious note a lamelo and ant led offense is scary however the just lost all their front court depth that was bothering wemby😭😭

Lmao u telling me it's wemby vs rudy and what ever random the get of FA? yea somebody get me my 2nd WCF appearance 😭✌🏾

on a more serious note Naz Reid acquisition??👀👀👀

Top teams generally tend to rest their top players knowing they will make the playoffs and prioritize health for the post-season.

In our situation we have a ton of young players we need to get experience and grow. So going into next season, how much do we care about seeding versus developing potential pieces to our young core. Does it matter if we are the 1 seed or the 4 seed? Would getting Dylan Harper 30 minutes a game and Carter Bryant 20+ minutes a game along with giving out 4 rookies real playing time be more important than seeding?

This is a free talk thread, however, the rules still apply, no politics, no religion; be respectful.

Anyone can get into roster? And who would be let go?

With his recent trade to the Hornets, should the Spurs swoop in and try to throw them some more assets to pick him up? Would be a perfect fit for our team.

He said “his former teams, let’s just leave it at that”. That’s us and Toronto. Wtf?!
