Kawhi Leonard Doesn't Expect To Pursue Offer Sheet Beyond Spurs

[RealGM Wiretap]

The San Antonio Spurs will be eligible to sign Kawhi Leonard to a maximum contract on July 1 in free agency.

For now, there's no scenario where Leonard plans to pursue offer sheets on the market, according to sources.

Leonard scored 32 points in the Spurs' Game 3 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday.

Leonard isn't leaving SA, M.Gasol isn't leaving Memphis, and I don't see Butler leaving Chi town.
And chances are, GS will find a way to retain Draymond Green

The only free agents that I think may leave their respective teams are:
Aldridge
D.Jordan
Monroe


Rondo is probably either going to go to the Lakers or the Knicks

Of course you do but No one who is good wants to play with Kobe Bryant.

I don't think any teams would've screwed up their cap for him knowing SA is going to match. While many teams could use him, they'd just be wasting time that could be used for more reachable targets.

Rondo isn't good.

That's the point. Only bad players (ie. Rondo) want to play with Kobe.
Everyone else will wait for the Black Ego to call it a career before they go to LA.

Hey kind sir,

The Knicks need all the help the could get. Phil Jackson will try the triangle offense again next season, the will need a guy like Rondo who court vision is what the triangle needs. Getting Monroe will solve probably around 10% of the Knicks woes (please don't get it confused with Drake song). The Knicks may have to part ways with Melo.

[MitchB3]

Both Kawhi and Jimmy are showing their respective teams that they aren't just a one trick pony; they aren't just defensive stoppers, they can actually score the ball. They make not average 25 ppg but the can get you 20 points, 7 rebounds 3-5 assists, with like 2 steals, and maybe a block per game. Personally for me I rather play two way players more money then players who can just score the ball. I only know a couple of players who could guard the one, the two, and the three, (LeBron is the exception, who could also guard some 4's and maybe one or two 5's)

[Pukovnik]

I would just love after the Spurs sign Leonard to a max deal, if they offered another one to Jimmy Butler. Somehow, I still don't think the Bulls are valuing Butler as a max contract guy.

Why would they need to part with Melo?
I don't think you know much about the triangle you don't need an all star pg to run it you need someone who can move the ball and hit open 3s and jump shots which rondo cannot he is a horrible fit for the triangle

I would rather draft mudiay or Russell then sign rondo

You forgot about Kevin Love. Logically, he would stay in Cleveland, over there he would play for a contender for the rest of his career, but somehow, I have a feeling, if the Cavs win it all this year, Love could leave. He would have a ring, a championship and he would be more relaxed, ready to start over somewhere else as a go to guy.

Why would you leave a girl who makes you happy?

Just because they win doesn't mean Love is happy. He might not get along with some teammates or like his role on the team. Winning isnt the most important thing to everyone

Dammit. The guy is a perfect fit on 28 of the teams in the league.

Sad to see my Raptors won't get a shot at him. Happy to see my second fav team will keep him. I just hope they find a way to reload around him quickly.

Then you sir is a crack head. I agree you don't an all-star point guard but to have a guy like Rondo who could probably learn the triangle can make the game more simpler for other players.

Really he didn't make the game more simpler for the mavs who have good players because he wanted to do things his way and not the coaches and they butted heads what make you think he will come into ny and run the triangle

He needs the ball in his hands to be good and that's not what the triangle is its aboit ball movement and player movement

Yes, because Kobe and MJ didn't butt heads with Phil?

Anyways, you are making it seem like he isn't someone who isn't passionate about the game; everyone is different, I mean look at CP3, who is someone who hates to lose.

I'll end it with this; Phil has some tough decisions to make this off-season on whether or not he wants a PG or he wants a big-man in the post. I believe if he goes for Oakfor this is no reason to go after a Marc Gasol or LaMarcus Aldridge.
