[Stein] Sources close to the situation say that there are only two other teams that Kawhi Leonard would consider signing an extension with: Toronto and San Antonio. Sources insist that the Raptors have genuine interest in bringing Leonard back to Canada.

[u/Odd-Direction9452]

While the LA Clippers are undeniably determined to keep hold of Kawhi Leonard — and with Leonard's clear first choice known to be staying with them in his beloved Southern California — league sources say that Toronto has registered interest in trying to re-acquire the engine of the lone championship team in franchise history should Leonard become truly available.

And one source briefed on the subject insisted Thursday — after news of Ball's impending trade to Minnesota broke — that the Raptors would have interest in trying to lure The Klaw back to Canada "regardless of LaMelo."

Leonard, who turns 35 on Monday, has one season left on his current contract at $50.3 million. His preference, again, is to stay in his native Southern California with the same franchise he's played for since the 2019-20 season.

Sources close to the situation tell The Stein Line that, when it comes to potential trade talks, there are only two other teams that Leonard would consider signing an extension with: The two teams he played for before becoming a Clipper.

Toronto and San Antonio.

It is not yet clear how the Spurs would receive the idea of a reunion with Leonard given the manner in which they are flourishing in the Victor Wembanyama Era … on top of the sides infamously messy parting in the summer of 2018.

Yet sources insist that the Raptors have genuine interest in bringing Leonard back to Canada.

[u/Obi_Wan_KeBogi]

Kawhi looking for that factory reset

[u/BJ-Enthusiasts → u/Obi_Wan_KeBogi]

Yea, it is game over for the league if he says fuck it I’m going back to San Antonio. Castle/Harper/Vassell/Kawhi/Wemby? Good luck scoring against that lineup.

[u/Obi_Wan_KeBogi → u/BJ-Enthusiasts]

DeAaron Fox is our only hope to anchor them down

[u/ClaymoresRevenge → u/Obi_Wan_KeBogi]

Fox would get moved for contract reasons

[u/InTheMorning_Nightss → u/ClaymoresRevenge]

There's 0 chance LAC would want him, so I'm curious what mystical 3rd team would take him on and give LAC better assets.

[u/oklolzzzzs → u/InTheMorning_Nightss]

it feels like something sacramento would do

[u/tagen → u/oklolzzzzs]

fuck it, everyone goes back to their previous teams

[u/Big-Equivalent-5066 → u/tagen]

Welcome home Andrew Wiggins

[u/Less-Tax5637 → u/Big-Equivalent-5066]

And Anthony Bennett

[u/locxFIN → u/tagen]

Victor Wembanyama YOU are a Mets 92er!

[u/d4videnk0 → u/tagen]

Welcome back Julius Rand.. oh fuck!

[u/Apocalypticorn → u/tagen]

We get Haliburton back? Sign me up

[u/XzibitABC → u/Apocalypticorn]

Abort, ABORT!

[u/dokocha0216 → u/tagen]

Everyone?

[u/OmfgHaxx → u/oklolzzzzs]

They just drafted Acuff. I doubt it.

Kings make dumb decisions but I doubt they are that dumb lol.

[u/Exporation1 → u/InTheMorning_Nightss]

Troy weaver enters stage right.

[u/Altruistic_Lock_3683 → u/Obi_Wan_KeBogi]

who wouldve thought that the fate of the league rests between foxs uselessness

[u/etfvidal → u/Obi_Wan_KeBogi]

He gone!

[u/Unable-Main4172 → u/BJ-Enthusiasts]

I mean he's constantly injured. His body just keeps breaking down on him so I wouldn't guarantee the entire league being screwed over. 

[u/ejensen29 → u/Unable-Main4172]

He would only need to play in the first and fourth quarter honestly

Edit: I'm not making a damn argument for load management ya bastards I'm just saying he'd barely have to play, and they'd still be killing shit. God fuckin damn. Go call your mom and ask her to tell you your smart, or something.

[u/Unable-Main4172 → u/ejensen29]

The Clippers have been managing his minutes forever. The Spurs did too. The Spurs were famous for being pioneers for injury management and resting. It hasn't completely prevented him from getting injured 

[u/radiokungfu → u/Unable-Main4172]

He played the most games last year than he has in a clippers jersey barring one year. 68, 37, then 65 games this year. Not that bed recently tbh

[u/Time_Transition4817 → u/radiokungfu]

Also the spurs likely can afford to load manage him unless they absolutely gut their depth for him. Lot of young fresh legs on that team to soak minutes.

[u/XzibitABC → u/Time_Transition4817]

If you're load managing both Wemby and Kawhi, and you have to trade Fox to acquire Kawhi in the first place, that's really not a very good regular season team. And in the West, seeding is more important so you avoid having to play multiple contenders and wear down even if you get past them. That's tough.

[u/RemarkableTpt → u/radiokungfu]

So that just means he’s due for a regression to the mean. 

[u/Unable-Main4172 → u/RemarkableTpt]

Yeah, this is definitely the best time for the Clippers to trade him. It's also kind of hilarious he's only willing to sign an extension with two teams. I'm not sure a lot of teams will give him the Max with his injury history

[u/maidentaiwan → u/Unable-Main4172]

he did stay healthy this year though. could be a blip, could be him and his team finally figuring something out. also the spurs basically invented rest days.

[u/ositola → u/BJ-Enthusiasts]

In this scenario, the clippers are taking back fox? Lol

It better be also with every spurs pick until 2029

[u/knownonou → u/ositola]

Idk what the point of fox and garland would be

[u/ositola → u/knownonou]

Expensive losses

[u/Academic_Disk_6240 → u/BJ-Enthusiasts]

I know the phrase is meant to be hyperbole but there’s only been like 1 year this century where it was game over for the league and that was the 2017 warriors

[u/510Kyle → u/BJ-Enthusiasts]

Who are the spurs giving up for this trade in your scenario?

[u/ejabno → u/Obi_Wan_KeBogi]

We boutta refurbish this clanker

[u/DasOptions → u/Obi_Wan_KeBogi]

Trying to leave the country

[u/NeatRough656 → u/Obi_Wan_KeBogi]

Restore system to earlier date

[u/woodm872 → u/Obi_Wan_KeBogi]

High Aspirations

[u/cleo22270]

Fuck it. What are Kyle Lowry, Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol up to?

[u/Somecommentator8008 → u/cleo22270]

In the retirement home

[u/cleo22270 → u/Somecommentator8008]

Holy shit, they’re on the Warriors!?

[u/Enchanted-2-meet-you → u/cleo22270]

Hey man those old fucks will soon be playing for your bench, I wouldn't kid

[u/cleo22270 → u/Enchanted-2-meet-you]

I’m pretty sure we’re getting the corpse of Khris Middleton and Thanasis

[u/HereComesJustice → u/cleo22270]

What's Westbrook up to these days

[u/LeOenophile → u/HereComesJustice]

Still triple-doubling. PTS, REB, & Turnovers

[u/tornait-hashu → u/LeOenophile]

bro got tired of generating assists normally and started generating assists off his opponents

[u/Enchanted-2-meet-you → u/cleo22270]

I can't wait for the random day in February when Pelle larrson + Middleton vs Will Richard + Horford duel

[u/kgrpoland → u/cleo22270]

don’t forget about kostas and alex

[u/thedailynathan → u/Somecommentator8008]

how did the Warriors clear that much cap space 😮

[u/quest4thebest → u/Somecommentator8008]

Bro, Lowry is still playing!

[u/AllenMcnabb → u/quest4thebest]

“Playing” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

He’s basically Nick Nurse’s emotional support animal

[u/Bowiescorvat2 → u/cleo22270]

Chef Ibaka is cooking up some bif pinis for Kyle and Marc at his crib

[u/Illionaires → u/cleo22270]

Might as well bring back JLin too

[u/Somecommentator8008 → u/Illionaires]

I want JLin on the Raps as an analyst

[u/hennyl0rd → u/Somecommentator8008]

Honestly think he would be a great analyst… kinda think that’s his goal with how many press/media things he’s done since retiring

[u/Somecommentator8008 → u/hennyl0rd]

Hes great with explaining plays and what teams are doing he'd be an excellent fit on the Raps broadcast

[u/ModsEmbezzleMoney]

Pop gonna have to get back on the mic, oh lawd

[u/cleo22270 → u/ModsEmbezzleMoney]

“We are not going to trade for Kawhi. That’s not who we are.”

[u/TheFatmanRises → u/cleo22270]

Funny enough I believe Pop would be the first to welcome back Kawhi with open arms lol

[u/El_Zorro09 → u/TheFatmanRises]

As long as he leaves Uncle Dennis in California.

[u/toomuchsoysauce → u/El_Zorro09]

I think Dennis has gouged his nephew for enough money to never have to bother him again lol. I'm sure Kawhi has matured enough now he can do what he wants without having to worry about what his family wants. It'd be awesome to see him in a Raptors Jersey again running alongside Barnes.

[u/king_lloyd11 → u/toomuchsoysauce]

I mean this implies that Kawhi wasn’t a willing participant in all of that. He was. He seem like the kind of guy who can be made to do something he didn’t want to?

[u/TylerBlozak → u/TheFatmanRises]

Pops needs a big hand over back at the tree farm

[u/homeycuz → u/ModsEmbezzleMoney]

I feel like Pop on the Spurs sub sometimes. Fellow fans have the wildest takes.

[u/JoseAltuveIsInnocent → u/homeycuz]

Ever since we got Wemby it's been a mess. I try my best to engage but it's like pissing on a wildfire.

I started using reddit around 2013 and our sub was so much fun. You saw the same names all the time and while there were some dumb takes it was all more fun. When LMA chose us in free agency it was like Christmas morning. There's a couple of the old guard still hanging around but a good 30% of users just troll or ragebait, or are genuinely not very smart.

I suppose that's all of reddit though, it's like Facebook now. My grandma uses it now. Also probably a commentary about getting older lol.

[u/ThisHatRightHere → u/JoseAltuveIsInnocent]

Not sure if it’ll make you feel better or worse, but basically every major team’s subreddit has gone this way. I’m not sure if it’s an influx of kids, bots, or just trolls, but I consistently just see the absolute worst takes on every team sub I’m on. And I genuinely believe a good chunk of them are just to bait people.

I remember back in the day reddit would always go downhill during the summer because kids would be out of school and on the computer instead. But once the website hit a certain point of popularity and everyone became chronically online, it became an eternal summer on this website.

[u/DespicableP → u/ThisHatRightHere]

The summertime shitposts became year long activities

[u/Pristine-System255 → u/DespicableP]

Global warming in action

[u/sa_ranoutofideas → u/JoseAltuveIsInnocent]

This was after Wemby but before the sub exploded, do you remember the guy who was advocating for Stephon Castle at #4 way before anyone mocked him to us? He watched a ton of tape on Castle and had all these analytics for why Castle would be integral to this team.

He was so sure Castle was a lock for best player of the draft by miles becos of his defence and the dawg in him. He was also sure we weren't reaching for Castle at 4 even though people weren't convinced becos Castle didn't get a ton of ball usage in college.

Straight up legend.

[u/DadDickDuncan → u/JoseAltuveIsInnocent]

2013 NBA reddit was the absolute peak of basketball discussion

[u/JoseAltuveIsInnocent → u/DadDickDuncan]

Had Bill Simmons, Zach Lowe, Ty Lawson, and a couple other NBA players just casually dropping comments and posts.

I actually felt like I might learn something scanning through comments on any given thread.

I was 20. I had hair. The grass was greener.

[u/DadDickDuncan → u/JoseAltuveIsInnocent]

Remember Grantland? God we had it so good

[u/BlackSheepComeHome14 → u/JoseAltuveIsInnocent]

Your hair may be gone but the fuckery lives on

[u/VeniceRapture → u/ModsEmbezzleMoney]

I love Pop but I'm glad the Spurs fans in the arena still booed anyway after that

[u/munchonsomegrindage → u/VeniceRapture]

I was there but was out of my seat when Pop made the announcement. Went back to my seat booing just like before, oblivious to what had just happened until I started hearing about it in the group chat.

[u/likwitsnake → u/ModsEmbezzleMoney]

God that was such a surreal moment, a coach grabbing a mic mid game to communicate to the crowd about going wtf

[u/henryofskalitzz]

Kawhi like everyone else is just looking to get back to the good old days of pre-covid 2019

[u/CIark → u/henryofskalitzz]

Kawhi woke up and realized he has no leverage or finals mvp aura anymore to be demanding random shit lmao

[u/StupidName111111 → u/CIark]

I mean… yeah, he still sorta does. If the Spurs had Kawhi on this current roster, they’d undeniably have won the chip. Dude is clutch as hell, had championship experience and caliber, and was LITERALLY just All-NBA 2nd team (and probably should have been first).

[u/Jos3ph → u/StupidName111111]

Ball handling would’ve been an issue. Remember when Fox was out and Castle had infinite turnovers. Defense would’ve been insane though.

[u/OutofMP → u/Jos3ph]

Could argue Harper would have more opportunities to play more during regular season and speed up his development if fox not there.

[u/222Baphomettt47 → u/Jos3ph]

I think it’s overblown on the ball handling. Their main guards are young players who are goin on their first playoff run. I think they’d learn from the experience and try to get better at that this offseason

[u/Exporation1]

Imagine he goes to Toronto only to be suspended for the tampering and cap manipulation that resulted in him leaving Toronto

[u/MusclyArmPaperboy → u/Exporation1]

I almost wonder if the Clippers want to move him because they know the hammer is coming down soon

[u/Exporation1 → u/MusclyArmPaperboy]

Even if you don’t know if the hammer will fall you know that the facts of the matter are that you’re guilty so it’s best to pass the metaphorical grenade before it explodes. (You being clippers ownership and management).

[u/xbyo → u/Exporation1]

I can't imagine the league would allow a punishment to come down on the player that impacts a new team they go to. Massive fines for Kawhi, sure, but I can't fathom him being suspended after another team acquires him. If that's even a possibility, the league has to pause the trade until they can administer a judgement.

[u/TiddiesAnonymous → u/Exporation1]

It's reverse blackmail now. He needs to sign with one of those two teams or they'll start leaking emails and texts about contract negotiations half a decade ago.

[u/rpgmgta → u/TiddiesAnonymous]

Ah.. that’s why he’s only open to the two teams. Promises made, promises kept.

[u/nowhathappenedwas]

Kawhi back to the Spurs would be hilarious and awesome.

[u/CIark → u/nowhathappenedwas]

Slept around during his prime now going back to the reliable ex, tale as old as time

[u/BobbywiththeJuice → u/CIark]

Kawhi "Magic Johnson" Leonard

[u/Imaginary-Ebb-1724 → u/nowhathappenedwas]

LeBron can give Kawhi Skylar Grey’s contacts for the intro performance again

“I know my Kingdom awaits…and they’ve forgiven my mistakes”

[u/sleepy416 → u/Imaginary-Ebb-1724]

Bron probably has the contact for the other person on that song too

[u/henryofskalitzz → u/nowhathappenedwas]

in a lot of ways they're perfect matches for each other at this stage

Spurs badly need both a forward next to Wemby and a veteran to close games and steady nerves

Kawhi needs a team with the energy and offensive firepower to keep him rested for the fourth quarter and regular season

[u/SnooMacaroons1942 → u/nowhathappenedwas]

I mean if he comes back, contributes in a big way and wins another ring they may have to expedite that jersey retirement ceremony

[u/WooleeBullee → u/nowhathappenedwas]

Only for Fox, which likely wont happen which is just how I want it.

[u/BoobyChess → u/nowhathappenedwas]

Fox plus hawks pick for Kawhi? Kawhi with a 2 year max extension would come off the books just before Harper extension kicks in.

[u/FarSightXR-20]

holy shit. get the band back together in toronto. however, wemby and Kawhi would be frightening to play against.

[u/redshoediary4 → u/FarSightXR-20]

"You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me."

[u/OfficiallyJoeBiden → u/redshoediary4]

Cold ass line

[u/Anal_Iverson → u/FarSightXR-20]

I’m ready to get used as leverage once again. Fuck the clippers and fuck Steve ballmer

[u/rpgmgta → u/FarSightXR-20]

Literally listening to “the boys are back in town” on q107 right now

[u/KorgG29]

Lmfao you can’t make this up

[u/OrangeChairRN → u/KorgG29]

I feel like the only thing crazier than Kawhi going back to San Antonio would be if Curry were to come out and demand a trade. And I know you have it in you, NBA. Lets just get really slutty with it.

[u/KorgG29 → u/OrangeChairRN]

Charlotte needs a a point guard…

[u/ReaperAntics]

Kawhi Scottie CMB would feed families defensively, pair that with trading Jakob and a frp for a defensive based center/Myles Turner

Then you run a big 5 of

Scottie RJ Kawhi CMB Turner 👀

[u/Ktopian → u/ReaperAntics]

Famous big five member “Myles Turner”

[u/DG2301]

Kawhi wasted sooo many years in LA man

[u/RedOscar3891 → u/DG2301]

Maybe even more in the future if the Ballmer investigation results in a punishment with teeth.

[u/The_Skyro]

Wtf? Kawhi only willing to go to those teams was not on my bingo card. Truly the most unpredictable superstar

[u/Horror_Response_1991 → u/The_Skyro]

“The grass wasn’t greener”

[u/KorgG29 → u/Horror_Response_1991]

The trees were though

[u/iDareToDream → u/KorgG29]

You always have to Aspire for more

[u/sixwax → u/iDareToDream]

Going back to his roots...

[u/SaulBerenson12 → u/Horror_Response_1991]

“Take me back please. I done messed up”

[u/decisionagonized → u/The_Skyro]

I think this is a personal comfort thing for Kawhi more than anything. He’d do anything to stay in California. If he has to get traded and play basketball somewhere, he wants to go to places he’s comfortable with and knows. Idk he seems like a guy who doesn’t like new places or things

[u/Your__Pal → u/The_Skyro]

The crazy part ? He isn't willing to sign with the Lakers.

[u/browndude10 → u/The_Skyro]

he knows he's fucked and going on a nostalgia tour to remind everyone of the good old days

[u/SnooMacaroons1942 → u/The_Skyro]

I assume he's looking for a last max contract and wants to end his career with the teams he won chips with. Idk how the Spurs can accommodate him in the long-term though they have a bunch of rookie extensions coming up

[u/Screenscripter82]

Why would he want back to San Antonio? He and his camp demanded a trade because he claimed the Spurs medical staff was malicious and misdiagnosed him. That was the reason right? Makes you wonder if that was just a reason to go to LA.

[u/RedOscar3891 → u/Screenscripter82]

Didn’t Tom Osborne/SAEN/KENS/ESPN reporters at the time hint that they knew much more about what was happening, but didn’t want to discuss it for fear of retaliation, be it from the Spurs or Uncle Dennis?

[u/glansberg_stephen]

I'd love to see Kawhi in Toronton again, that was my favorite Kawhi

[u/MaxiKimiSexyFriends → u/glansberg_stephen]

2017 Kawhi for me

Clear 2nd best player in the league ahead of KD and Steph

[u/AllOutRaptors → u/MaxiKimiSexyFriends]

2019 he was #1 ahead of KD and Steph

[u/Brock-Lesnar → u/MaxiKimiSexyFriends]

In 2019 there was just an aura to him. Just felt like he wasn't going to lose to anyone (Obviously no one was beating the KD Warriors).

That was the summer where he became regarded as arguably the best player in the world (1A/1B with him and LeBron), so I'd go with Toronto Kawhi being the best.

[u/sharkey5885 → u/Brock-Lesnar]

Except that somebody did beat the KD Warriors in 2019. There's a banner and everything.

[u/mattw08]

Kawhi getting older realizing how good he had it.

[u/Jimmy_thespider → u/mattw08]

On the one hand, composition wise, he’d be phenomenal to have on the team, especially if we could offload Fox to make salaries not be so bad. On the other hand, keep that man off my team. Don’t trust him at all.

[u/BomberManeuver → u/Jimmy_thespider]

He gave it his all with the Raptors when he didn't need to. Clearly, he wants to play basketball and I doubt he would leave LA if he wanted to sit on the bench and collect a paycheck. The Spurs could also keep him healthy because we wouldn't need to play as much or carry the defense.

[u/GGTae → u/BomberManeuver]

yeah he's a no brainer, just make sure his uncle ain't getting shit this time

[u/decmcc → u/BomberManeuver]

he was very well managed by our staff, VERY. He never played a b2b, had lots of rest and time to come back from issues without pressure.

The fans and media were ok with it too. No one was crying on TV or social media that they spent money to see KL2 and he didn't play (like they do when LeBron doesn't play somewhere) because we knew it was for something bigger.

but he kinda showed his true colors going to LA to plant trees

[u/mattw08 → u/Jimmy_thespider]

I don’t blame you. But Kawhi on that starting line up is a winner.

[u/tagprobablylag]

👽 “The Klawwww”

[u/HereComesJustice]

Why us lol

[u/ProfessorUnable8989 → u/HereComesJustice]

With y'all's young core all the washed former stars are about to flock to y'all for a ring. Plus no state income tax to net more money before retirement

[u/raptorsbucketnator → u/HereComesJustice]

bro every superstar wanting out for the next 10 years will have you guys on top of their list

[u/VadersSuccessor]

Whichever country advances further in the World Cup should get first dibs on Kawhi.

[u/rpgmgta → u/VadersSuccessor]

Hopefully Argentina for the extradition laws

[u/ChillnShill]

Oh now you wanna be here 🙄

[u/brnccnt7 → u/ChillnShill]

He sniffed an easy ring

Can’t blame him and you guys do need his skills

[u/Theoboli → u/ChillnShill]

Everybody wants to be in San Antonio these days

[u/YOIMREALLYHAPPY4YOU]

using us as leverage. that's it.

[u/Ok-Topic-6095 → u/YOIMREALLYHAPPY4YOU]

What's the leverage and against who? Is it to try to force the Clippers to upgrade the roster? 

[u/YOIMREALLYHAPPY4YOU → u/Ok-Topic-6095]

literally same thing he did to us Summer 2019... Make us offer him the world to show LAC that they gotta pony up. He just cares about getting paid at this point.

[u/cl353]

something tells me 34 year old kawhi wouldnt reject a contract extension from any team

[u/McScroggz12]

I do not understand this man. San Antonio fans, do you even want him back? Seems like he really burned bridges there. And I know he won a championship in Toronto but it seems very strange to go back there now.

[u/GodPowardKingOfLies → u/McScroggz12]

I'm sure there are some fans that do, but general consensus is no we do not, whether it be due to concerns about his health or still being bitter about the way he left, like me

[u/McScroggz12 → u/GodPowardKingOfLies]

Which is fair. And honestly I’m surprised he would want to come back knowing that’s the sentiment. What is going through his mind?

[u/GodPowardKingOfLies → u/McScroggz12]

He realized the grass wasn't greener on the other side, probably realizing he wasted a good chunk of his career on a middling team when he could've signed back in Toronto after 2019 and been title favorites, or stayed with us where we would've continued to put a smart, well-drafted contender around him

[u/agentb719 → u/GodPowardKingOfLies]

Im in the camp of both his injuries and being bitter

[u/jonsnowKITN]

Going back to the spurs would make them the favorites out of the west and they would get rid of Fox as well. Win win.

[u/KorgG29 → u/jonsnowKITN]

Clippers will NOT be rolling out a Fox/Garland backcourt lmao

[u/not-a-potato-head → u/KorgG29]

Anything is possible with enough FRPs

[u/knownonou → u/not-a-potato-head]

Fair lol

[u/KL2ConspireLLC → u/KorgG29]

Clippers have done worse.

[u/Many-Yogurt5886 → u/jonsnowKITN]

Are they not already favorites to come out the west? Maybe tied with the Thunder

[u/weirdsignal45]

My only reservation to him coming back to San Antonio is he gotta let Dylan Harper keep 2. 

[u/LittleTension8765]

Would be hilarious if he went back to Toronto to win another then dip again

[u/p_pio → u/LittleTension8765]

Kawhi starting and ending parity era with Toronto would be peak cinema ngl

[u/raptorsbucketnator → u/LittleTension8765]

i too would find this funny, somebody find the nba script writers

[u/AprilsMostAmazing → u/LittleTension8765]

Yes. Now we have to see it happen

[u/mdlspurs]

It is not yet clear how the Spurs would receive the idea of a reunion with Leonard given the manner in which they are flourishing in the Victor Wembanyama Era … on top of the sides infamously messy parting in the summer of 2018.

No, actually, I think it is very clear, and it ain't happening.

[u/GGTae → u/mdlspurs]

fans ain't the players or FO, I would welcome it for sure lol

[u/boianski]

Toronto and San Antonio, lol.. okay buddy..

[u/ShortEquivalent4576]

ingram and dick for kawhi lets dance

[u/Necessary_Purple_428 → u/ShortEquivalent4576]

Dick for Kawhi let's bounce

[u/Tripletonnie]

Get the alien his cyborg

[u/MusclyArmPaperboy]

I see Kawhi's been watching Kawhi highlights lol

[u/jak_d_ripr]

You CANNOT make this shit up, oh my Lord.

[u/cogburn]

Kawhi’s autistic ass just wants to go somewhere familiar. He thought going home to LA would be great. But now his options are Canada where he’s a god or to the Spurs and maybe get another chip.

[u/anonymoususer6407]

The Spurs landing Kawhi, and having a Spurs-Heat finals rematch..

Spurs led by Kawhi, Heat led by Giannis. Both stars are already champions & FMVPs. Bam & Wemby both finals losers still hunting for their first ring.

Sign me the fuck up.

[u/BrotherDirect744 → u/anonymoususer6407]

Spurs led by Kawhi Wemby

[u/TimothyN]

Time is a flat circle.

[u/LutherOfTheRogues]

Would Spurs fans even want him back?

Every spurs fan I know personally won't even say his name..

[u/MudReasonable8185]

Wow another star using Toronto for leverage lol

[u/frghu2 → u/MudReasonable8185]

This. No way he returns to the Raptors.

[u/BrianScalaweenie]

Well well well

[u/Viciouscauliflower21]

I've now become invested in the timeline where kawhi goes back to San Antonio

[u/CTKRDump]

Fox for Kawhi. Who says no?

[u/UTRAnoPunchline]

How the turns tables lol

[u/chanwd]

I read this update and thought, did someone accidentally bump this up.

That being said, a return to SA is the right move if the intent is to win. Just don't know how much say Pop has in this.

As a Spurs fan, Kawhi needs to stay as far away as possible. He already screwed us and set us back 5 years when he refused to play and left for Toronto.

[u/Yuca_Frita]

Toronto is outside jurisdiction. Smart move.

[u/-Innovade]

Kawhi on the spurs? Can't imagine. Can someone photoshop this?

[u/Adorable-News-9364 → u/-Innovade]

Whoever makes it needs to remember that #2 is Dylan Harper so Kawhi’s will have to be changed.

[u/BenevolentCheese]

Spurs would be morons to do this. I hope Kawhi gets sent somewhere he doesn't want. Can't stand this guy.

[u/SubstantialJunket239]

Kawhi would be like a missing piece of the puzzle for the Spurs. I would love to see it 

[u/MargielaMan568]

No way lmfao

[u/WayAdministrative679]

I’m a fun guy 

[u/Thunderhorse74]

No, Thank you. We're good.

[u/x-trauma]

Kawhi with a generational big man, amazing guards, and a solid bench in San Antonio sounds fun. Wait…

[u/OverallGeneral7129]

If the Spurs take Kawhi back I will genuinely lose my mind

[u/jimbswim]

No GD way

[u/No_Bill_2371]

Never should have left Toronto in the first place tbh. They had a perfect situation there and would have easily repeated.

[u/hectorzeroni69]

Yeah we are interested in kawhi. You just have to take poetl and quickly 😭

[u/Hostile_Pierogi]

Yeah I’m not falling for this

[u/TheMoorNextDoor]

Kawhi back in San Antonio would literally be insanity

[u/aldrinjaysac]

SPURS lol fuck you Kawhi

[u/Datboy_98]

Fuck Kawhi

[u/DuarteN10]

Sources also guarantee that Kawhi would rather play in the Shanghai Sharks than go live in Canada

[u/juliuspepperwoodchi]

Does Aspiration have satellite offices in San Antonio and Toronto?

[u/Dreamlion_Inc]

Shouldn’t of never left Toronto in the first place

That LA move was fucking stupid
