With people like Gordon Hayward getting max contracts and also the new TV deal. Nobody can say that a player like Kawhi Leonard doesn’t deserve max.
Rightly so. According to Yahoo! Sports. Kawhi Leonard is holding out for a max contract.
As Kawhi Leonard holds firm on his desire for a maximum contract, extension talks with the San Antonio Spurs have failed to gather traction despite a looming Friday deadline, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Spurs president and general manager R.C. Buford and agent Brian Elfus have had several discussions in recent weeks, but no progress has been made, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
San Antonio could sign Leonard to a five-year, $90 million-plus extension now, if the Spurs were willing to make him their designated player. San Antonio could also negotiate a four-year deal at the maximum contract level – or below – before the Friday deadline. As a restricted free agent next summer, the Spurs could also sign Leonard to a five-year extension at or below the maximum contract level.
I know he deserves max. With the TV deal and all. What can I say. He doesn’t deserve it? If Chandler Parsons and Gordon Hayward can pocket max, them Kawhi Leonard. The second youngest to ever get a Finals MVP. I say this.
Get your money young blood.
