Would you give Kawhi Leonard the max?

[bdreason]

I need to see more.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Definitely, it will be a bargain in 2 years anyway so just go ahead and do it.

[LoneyROY7]

Absolutely. He couldn't be a more perfect fit on the Clippers.

[Leroy Jetson]

Considering that he is the difference between the spurs being a .500 team and a contender, yes he is worth it. A lot of his contributions don't show up in the box score.

If Parker is gonna be earning $15 million at age 36, then Leonard is definitely worth the max at age 23. He brings MUCH more to the table than Parker.

[InsanityKills]

not in a million years due to injury history and being a system player who wouldn't succeed any where else. I speak the truf.

What's Kawhi's max?

What's Kawhi's max?

A max extension now projects to be worth $89,138,886 over five years. If Leonard re-signs in 2016, a five-year max contract projects to pay $117,233,535.

If the Spurs give Leonard a max extension now, based on the NBA

Would you give Kawhi Leonard the max?

yes

Is he worth it?

no

[midatlantic09]

Undoubtedly if we're comparing him to the current climate (where Hayward, Irving and Parsons are max players).

No idea why you put Irving in the same category as those other two. Irving is undoubtedly a max player while the other two shouldn't be.

[tpols]

Anyone who says NO is a stat whore or just plain doesn't know basketball.

Leonard is the guy that EVERY team wants. He's the glue guy that is sometimes AS important to the team than the superstar.

He's like a super rich man version of Derek Fisher.

He makes the right plays. Always plays smart. Clutch as hell and pressure situations don't bother him.

That, along with elite defense and being a very good rebounder. Is not an elite scorer but can score from a variety of ways...from the 3, in transition, off the drive, pull up jumpers, etc.

Give the man his money.

Fisher lol.. He's like the black AK47..easy max

[Eric Cartman]

So much disrespect for the FMVP

Of course he is worth the max, owning Lebron and KD in consecutive rounds last year wasn't enough?

[dreamwarrior]

He's putting up career highs while having an off year. Once he's fully healthy he's going to be Scottie Pippen 2.0

Tbh Leonard didn't own lebron last year. SAS were way better than the Heat, the best team won and Leonard was great and deserving FMVP. But lbj had a nice series as well, it was the team as a whole that underachieved last year in the finals.
