Three Lakers?

Ingram, Clarkson, and Nance Jr. ?

[Ice009]

For Jason Tatum, Marcus Morris and Aaron Baynes

Would you do it?

I don't think I'd even be interested if it was both Kyrie and Tatum. As for your proposal, no way at all.

[Seventyniner]

This is the Joffery Lauvergne of trade proposals.

It even has a poster option to bump and extend the thread.

Goddammit I just did it myself.

[duncan2k5]

Kawhi is untradeable...dude is the best player in the world...you guys are idiots...he singlehandedly was destroying the warriors like no one has ever done before zaza was sent to end it...smfh

[duncan2150]

no

I have a feeling all this trade Kawhi talk here is going to lead to something bad for the Spurs.

yeah, i mean, even if you dont give too much weight to the regular season when it comes to cleveland, right now boston is at least right there with the cavs and that's without Hayward. factor in tatum/brown developing and yeah, they're miles ahead of cleveland going forward

[.G.]

If the narrative that da kang needs to join a super team to beat gs is true then I wouldn’t be surprised to see Kawhi traded out east. Can’t see him going west but then again there’s only one Popovich to go around sooooo maybe. It’ll be interesting to see how this shit plays out come July if Kawhi doesn’t sign the Supermax and this thing drags out longer than it should. Kawhi needs serious talent around him. Niggz needs a few dolla bills to play with and not qtrs lmao oh Max k.

[Johnsyounger]

lecaca

[MannyIsGod]

What the fuck. Is this fucking serious? Never change, Spurstalk. Never change.

[K...]

which is the worst bit ? Lebomb "trade kawhi is good?" or Dabom "Patty is the 2nd best player"?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

oh. why not 6 firsts?

Don't be ridiculous.

[SilverSpur]

Remember Kawhi is really two players. He’s an offensive and defensive double threat.

The only trades I want to hear about are

Anthony Davis and two first round picks
The Unicorn and two first round picks
The Greek Freak and two first round picks
Blake Griffin two first round picks and Lou Williams
Anything else is garbage

[lebomb]

Giannis and 2 first rd picks :claw

Clearly you didn’t see him single handily whoop our Spurs ass at home.

He is avg 28 pts a game. Dude is like a tall Kawhi.

It would need to be those 3 players for me to do it. I wouldn't trade a top 3 player entering his prime for any less than that if he doesn't ask out.

If he asks out, then I guess it's a different story, but if not, it'd take a lot for me to want to trade him.

You love stat stuffers like Westbrook and Giannis, that are also likely to fizzle out in the playoffs as the leader of their teams because they can't shoot for shit.

Who gives a fuck about stats. Kawhi is an MVP level player on defense and also offense.

Bullshit!!!! I went to the Milwaukee vs Spurs game, and Giannis single handily killed the Spurs. He hit 3's, got rebounds, drove and scored, played defense and got blocks/steals. He was BY FAR the best player on the court that night.

Giannis line from last nights win over Philly.......31 pts/18 Reb/ 6 asst

I was at that game, too. Everything you said is true. The guy was a wrecking machine AND he got his in the flow of the game. However, his jumper is still a work in progress, as his stats show. He has shot over 52% of his shots at the rim where he is over 72%. Beyond the arc he is a hair over 30%, inside the paint - 35%, and inside the arc - 40%. In truth, Giannis' game is altogether different from Kawhi's.

Let's see how he does in the playoffs. I'm a shooter myself and am not impressed until I see him start hitting shots in the playoffs before I'll say he's legit. Let's see how he does when defenses focus in on him and how he performs in crunch time.

Basically, my opinion on him is that he's a very gifted person physically. I'm not impressed with his overall skills. Same goes for Westbrook. I'm not impressed with his skills at all.

Giannis had a 30-point game with an incredible 68% TS in Game 5 and a 34-point game with a 59% TS in Game 6 against Toronto last year. I think he can hit shots in the playoffs. The Giannis hate/jealousy on this site is just strange.

Giannis is an explosive young athlete who seems to be steadily improving as a basketball player. However, his game is a sharp contrast to Kawhi's. They really aren't very comparable at all.

What does that tell me? Where they jump shots? Contested jump shots? Wide open shots?

He's a great young player, but I don't believe he's an MVP level player just yet.

He is very young still, but if you cant see the talent I do not know what to say. Personally I think he is in the top 4-5 players in the league right now. :claw

More like the hype around Giannis is way too big for a guy that has yet to be able to raise the play of his team beyond mediocre ball, tbh.

he takes away attention from precious kawhi... same reason they hate draymond, and why kobestans hate lebron

[lebomb]

He is only 23 homie! Milwaukee is definitely better than they were the last couple of years. Hell, Giannis is better.

[DAF86]

He is only 23 homie! Milwaukee is definitely better than they were the last couple of years. Hell, Giannis is better.

Yeah well, that's exactly my point. When he gets older and starts making his team get double digits wins over 500 then we can start talking about him as a top 4/5 player. Until then slow down with the hype train.

[DAF86]

he takes away attention from precious kawhi... same reason they hate draymond, and why kobestans hate lebron

Yeah, there's no way that some people can honestly think that the hype he gets is way too exaggerated for a player that can't shoot and has yet to make it past the first round on the fucking Eastern conference.

[spurraider21]

Yeah, there's no way that some people can honestly think that the hype he gets is way too exaggerated for a player that can't shoot and has yet to make it past the first round on the fucking Eastern conference.
he's 2nd in the league in scoring and is shooting 55% from the field. his jumpshot doesn't seem to really be hindering him from being effective on that end, so i dont get why you keep going back to that. it would be like saying "people overhype shaq and he can't make a damn free throw to save his life!"

ben simmons has no outside shot and he's having no trouble being effective

[lebomb]

Yeah, there's no way that some people can honestly think that the hype he gets is way too exaggerated for a player that can't shoot and has yet to make it past the first round on the fucking Eastern conference.

HE IS 23!!!! Not many if any have gotten their team that far at that age. If you cannot see where he is and where he is heading, I cant help that. Even Magic wrote an article on Giannis. Says he will lead Milwaukee to a ship one day. He was shooting pretty damned good against the Spurs. Im not talking inside the paint either.

Carry on.

Magic Johnson, really? You trying to prove your case by claiming Mágico Johnson agrees with you? :lol

Look, I'm not saying the kid isn't special. He is. I just think this talk about him being a top 4/5 player in the World is crazy until he shows something else.

Will he get there? I think he can.
Is he there already? Hell fucking no.

BTW, at that age folks like Magic, Duncan and Kawhi had already won finals MVP.

ben simmons has no outside shot and he's having no trouble being effective

Yeah, not that high on Simmons either.

Look, all I'm saying is that until I see him dominating a playoffs series against a good defensive team I can't agree with the top 5 player talk. Is easier to hide flaws in the regular season where 70% of the teams are mediocre to bad and where no team specially plans to stop you. Another thing is to hide those flaws in the playoffs against a good team with it's mind set on stopping you.

And the Shaq comparison is dumb. One was a center and arguably the most dominant player ever and the other is a perimeter player.

[Das Texan]

For Jason Tatum, Marcus Morris and Aaron Baynes

Would you do it?

Who the fuck is Aaron Baynes?

Jordan got to the league at age 21, he got the Bulls to the playoffs in all his seasons, got a better record each year and by season 4 he already had made the ECF. Giannis is on season 5 and he has yet to learn to shoot or make it past the first round in the only two times he got there.

Nobody was proclaiming Jordan to be a top 5 player in the World when he was losing on the first round, tbh.

[lebomb]

Well, even his seasoned MVP peer chose him in the Allstar draft. So take it for what its worth.

He may not be top 5 yet, but he is top 10.

[DJR210]

In OP's defense he's simply parroting a terrible take from a shitty article.. saw the same proposal come up on my Flipboard feed

last year they lost games 5 and 6 to Toronto in games where he shot 12-18 for 30 points, and 13-23 for 34 points. his scoring ability was never the problem, so its retarded to point to his jump shooting ability is such a big factor for their team success. he shot 53.6% from the field in that whole series and even hit 40% of his threes :lol


Nobody was proclaiming Jordan to be a top 5 player in the World when he was losing on the first round, tbh.
he had been named to 4 straight all-nba first teams, won 4 straight scoring titles, been named DPOY, and had won a league mvp in the seasons preceding his first chip. so, i mean, yeah, he was already considered one of the greats

[r0drig0lac]

the hatred in Giannis is absolutely meaningless, I could understand if it was about the coward Durant who destroyed the balance of the league for at least 4 seasons, but that Greek is just amazing to watch

Again, being purposely dishonest because he can't win an argument. Sad, tbh. :lol

because you just dismiss everything about him because "he cant make a jump shot"

I didn't dismiss anything. I just said that until he shows me more I can't place him over guys like Lebron, Durant, Kawhi, Curry, Harden, Westbrook and some others. So, no in the top 5.

BTW, where do you rank Giannis, or are you arguing for the sake of arguing?

i have in comfortably in the top 10. i dont have him above lebron, kawhi, curry, durant. i think he's right there in the next tier with harden/westbrook, so somewhere between 5-7

that your "he cant hit a jumpshot so i cant take him seriously" take is retarded

[DAF86]

that your "he cant hit a jumpshot so i cant take him seriously" take is retarded

I don't think I have said that, but anyways I have spent the last 10 to 15 posts on this thread making my point clear yet you continue to argue something you agree with. :lol

[dabom]

Top 5 best Players right now. "I'm Starting a Team" Players:

Top 4 no order, Kawhi, Lebron, Durant, Steph.

Then we got 2 other MVP caliber players Russ and Harden.

I don't see Giannis in the top 5.

[dabom]

I take that back. My top 6 can all lead a team.

[Clipper Nation]

Been in the top 3 conversation 3 years running. I still got to give him the nod over someone who hasn't don't jack. :lol

[lebomb]

All I know? When I saw him play the Spurs he looked on a whole nother level than anyone else on the floor. Even my wife said that guy is doing everything during that game. He plays that way regularly. I have him above Harden personally. Harden plays no D. Giannis will block your shot into the 3rd row.

[Ice009]

Look, he's a top 10 player, but he's definitely not top 5 yet. Doesn't mean he won't be, or won't be soon, but I wouldn't take him if I could choose 5 players to take into the playoffs with me this season, he wouldn't be on my list. There's easily 5 players I'd take ahead of him, maybe more. He'd probably be in the 7-10 range for me.
