Lakers Laughed At Kawhi Leonard’s Outrageous Demands
The Lakers had a chance to sign Kawhi Leonard in 2019, when Leonard, through his uncle Dennis Robertson, reportedly asked for some outrageous things that fell well outside NBA rules. Should LA be relieved they didn’t land him?

Uncle dennis also wanted a piece of Taco Tuesday back in the day
I think every team does this including the lakers. But this goes too far and they got caught. I hope it tightens everyone up around the league.
NBA should make it so the representation of a talent has to be represented by someone with a legit agency card. No more papa Brunson or Uncle Dennis. Agents know rules and aren't going to be as willing to skirt rules.
Dodged a bullet with Kahwi….right into another line of fire with the Russ trade
Idk if its a blessing man. Sign Kahwi and you probably can't make a Russ trade. Trading for Russ was just as detrimental IMO
i can no longer look at uncle dennis and kawhi as humans. i see them as dollar signs and i cant unsee it
There was NO Faker laughing when he decided to sign with the Clippers…ONLY TEARS!!! And obvious tears ever since!!!
I don't think kawhi is playing next year out of sheer embarrassment
NBA should fine this dude man…
Clippers Cry 😭 over Kerrwhy?!?!
Clippers did have a long regular season win 🏅 on the Lakers 😊
this is garbage as usual. the writing shown and quoted says it was robertson, not kawai
🏈951
They also laughed at LeBron’s request for an extension
Kawhi is a joke 😂
If the addition of Kawhi would have guaranteed several chips — I think he would have — I would have gone all in, doing it legally though. Would I have liked it? No way. But, sometimes, talent wins the day.
Probably why they suck
That ain't Lakers business ✌🏿
What if Adam silver voids the contract and makes kawhi sit the whole season, I think that would be the most fair consequence
kawhi seems like a bad person…
Can you imagine asking for no-show sponsorship money?! How lazy and greedy can you be? You're already getting money to play a game and you're not even playing the entire season. Give me a break!
It's like a company having Kawhi is a good employee however, he is also a TOXIC employee.. We're not interested anyway. Next Please….
Exile them from LA and Lakers get their stadium for South bay
Kawhi needs to be banned! This guy has gotten over on the fans. Ultimately the money comes from the fans. So much greed will cause fans to stop watching.
If Adam Silver does nothing, he has got to go! Kawhi has got over on the Spurs, NBA and now this. Mr. Silver kick him out of the league, he doesnt play anyway.
We dodged a nuclear bomb lmao
Your dedication is inspiring.
Laughs in Luka*
Kawhi didn't even play a full season, always on load management. Paying a Max contract for him now to be a bench warmer is laughable
FINALLY, everyone else can see what the Spurs had to deal with. So glad we let him go when we did.
Void rest of leonard contract, clippers cannot sign him again, he must be free agent
What's funny to me is how all the concentration seems to be directed towards Kawhi Leonard, when Kawhi is just doing what you would expect him to do. The concentration really should be more on Steve Ballmer for being sloppy. I am sure many side deals, endorsements, and connections are made on the side to supplement the athletes' salaries in EVERY sport. It was Ballmer, who was sloppy enough to set this one up in a manner where Kawhi didn't even have to show up. There are so many businesses, investment groups, and even just basic business connections that can be made on the side, just through association. For him to do it this way, was just incredibly stupid and sloppy.
Magic should've cussed him out then put him on blast but he too classy for that lol
No wonder ratings of the NBA are tanking. We have Prima-Donna’s, pampered self-absorbed elements that only think about their bags, who care very little about the fans.
Uncle Debbie is pathetic.. you got the wrong report. That’s his demands to the raptors
Meh who cares ? Billionaires & millionaires menstruating over $ – Lakers would of been even better if they had LBJ & KL on the same squad
Kawhi and his uncle are both sneaky snakes 🐍
If they didn't have LeBron they would have did it
It's hilarious to me that everybody in the NBA is reeling with this kawhi drama. Spurs fans told you this dude was a drama queen while everybody was ridiculing the Spurs didn't coddle kawhi. 😂😊😂😊😅
Pop and Spurs got sick of him and said good riddance
12:31 Gee, did the Lakers dodge a bullet by not signing a toxic parasite who wanted to own the team along with asking for half the world and other illegal perks, while never playing, and with the personality of a cardboard box living off of an overvalued reputation of being a champion because he was carried by the Tim Duncan Spurs in his first Finals win and was lucky he didn't get swept because Durant and Klay were injured during his second Finals win . . . did the Lakers dodge a bullet? Tough call on this one.
Kawhi is the least likeable player in the NBA. No charisma before, now plainly a greedy fool.
Uncle Dennis acting like Bron is his nephew 😂
He hardly played 😂
