This is the part that annoys me.
Reports that Kawhi doesn't even want to meet with Pop. I hate this cowardly shyt -- IF TRUE.

Be a fukking man.
ESPN is reporting fake news

Shams and the Spurs beat guys are more reliable

I don't understand what makes Lakers fans think they can offer the best package for Kawhi.
Just because Kawhi wants to go there doesn't mean San Antonio will do it. And the argument that Kawhi has the leverage doesn't really make sense -- at least not enough sense for the Spurs to trade him to a conference rival.

I would think that hypothetically the Spurs would take a lesser package to move him anywhere but LA. And even if Kawhi threatened not to re-sign with that team, the Lakers would be hurt by having their roster held hostage for 2018-2019 in the hopes that they can fit Kawhi in next summer.

So you think they would take a lesser package to be spiteful?

It's not about spite. If the Lakers were going to suck and Kawhi's on his own out there, the Spurs couldn't give a shyt. But creating another superteam? That ain't no better package. Getting some third-rate assets doesn't make up for them not being able to be competitive for years to come. Yes, I'd rather trade Kawhi to some random East team and let fate or luck or cap space problems prevent the Lakers from putting up another roadblock in the West.
