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?

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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. 😂😊😂😊😅

  8. 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.
