They got some young pieces and the cap space to go after him.

Sean Deveney:


“I think they go in hard for Leonard once the season is over and once the dust settles in San Antonio,” one executive told Sporting News. “(Leonard) wants to go to LA. There probably won’t be public demands on that, but he has leverage. He is going to be a free agent (in 2019). He’s an LA guy and he can just let teams know he won’t re-sign next year with anyone but the Lakers.”

Why not? Discuss sons :downspin:

They don't have a first this year and if they land Kawhi their firsts next year and beyond will be shit. If Kawhi wants to go to the Lakers the Spurs might as well just make him walk there next summer. Unless the Lakers can work a three way to get the Spurs a really high 2018 draft pick along with Ingram it makes no sense to send him to LA.

Because the spurs dont really have real leverage.

Its either they dont trade him at all he sits down next year while opting out and the spurs get nothing but drama.

The spurs can play hardball all they want but if a players not resigining, you dont really have anything.

They can only play hardball till the draft really. :lol

You can't seriously think they'd be better off taking Randle at a near max salary vs just getting nothing. Fine, dump him off to Atlanta for a second rounder if they can't get any decent offer.

Honestly, I'm not trading Leonard without getting at least a high lottery pick. He can spend next season training in New York again. The Spurs don't owe Leonard anything other than the money on his contract.

04-20-2018, 02:15 AM
I'd trade Kawhi for anything decent. He missed a whole season from a mysterious "I've never seen anything like it" kind of injury and has complained about this in the past. It's probably chronic and going to significantly impact the rest of his career unless it miraculously vanished in the off-season. He's never going to be the player we saw from 2014-2017 again and if he is he'll never stay healthy for a whole season.

Lakers have to offer the best they can if they want to have a chance...obviously Ingram and Kuzma have to be both included. Otherwise bye.
They are not going to have their cap space forever...this summer they have to decide if (and I think they will) re sign Randle after his good season (better him than nothing) and they have already Deng for next two seasons...plus whoever they sign (George?) this summer...with these three contracts, bye to big cap space.
It means that if they really want Kiwi they have to go all in this season, not next...

Leonard is gone, but the Lakers would be retarded to go after ANY superstar this off-season. If so, what was the fuckin' point of drafting Ingram, Longo, and Randle? The most important things developing players need are touches and not to be tethered to a superstar presence who will simply gobble up touches and force the younger players to defer. Golden State didn't go after a superstar while developing their core. OKC didn't. Not to mention, all the hot shot FAs this off-season play Ingram's position. And yeah, I would trade Leonard for a package if it includes Ingram. No Ingram, no deal.

Its not just that, They have to give everything to Acquire Leonard which makes sense no since a plethora of NBA stars are free agent next year including Lebron. They can keep their young.

But really thats only assuming if Lebron goes to LA or they get two stars.

Theyd be crazy not to trade for Leonard if they know Lebrons isnt coming though. He is better Thomposon, Butler and George Combined.

There's very few premuim players in the league and history says they're almost always more valuable than multiple 2nd tier stars.

You usually want to go after the cherry-on-top FA after you've developed your 2nd tier stars. Lakers don't even have that :lol

Going after a ball dominant Lebron (who also plays the same position as Ingram) will just stunt Ingram's and Longo's growth. Kawhi and Longo would clash stylistically. Kawhi isn't a fast break player. He likes the half-court/mid-post game. The same problem that plagued the Spurs with Kawhi not having a PG who can create spacing by being a shooting threat would plague the Lakers, since Longo can't shoot from anywhere. Paul George is probably their target, and :lol if that happens. If Lebron is going to LA, it's to the Clippers. Knowing his psychology, he likes "challenges," and if he could manage to get the Clippers even to the Finals, he gets another legacy boost.

I would trade everyone but Ingram for Kiwi. They wouldn't fit stylistically? Please. BI played the point when Zo was out and was more than decent. That's offensively. Defensively as a tandem? They would be suffocating perimeter players, 1996 Bulls style. There would be no passing lanes, defensive switchability, lock down in halfcourt sets, etc. In short, it would be beautiful to watch. Defense to fastbreak offense would be their calling card.

What supporting cast is he going to have on the Lakers? No Jumper Longo? No Defense Kuzma? Unproven Ingram? Father Time is closing in on Lebron, and his prime window is 2 to 3 more years. GS and Houston are set up to dominate the conference for at least the next 5 years. If he doesn't want the unique challenge of leading the Clippers somewhere, Houston is probably his spot. This is why it makes no sense for the Lakers to chase stars right now. No move you can do puts you on the Warriors/Rockets level. You take the next 5 years to develop your youth, without any superstar distraction, and if the core turns into the next Warriors, great. If they turn into a team filled with 2nd tier stars that manage 43-45 wins, that's when you hunt a superstar.

As a Laker hater, I want you star chasing. It's the worst move you can make. Look at every great team in history. None of them brought in a superstar as their core was developing. Magic was drafted into a strong Lakers core. 80s Celtics were built through the draft. Lakers were a 48 win team when they brought in Shaq. Duncan was drafted in the Robinson/Elliott/Johnson core.

Defense to fastbreak offense would be their calling card.

Longo wouldn't fit with him. Kawhi needs a floor spacing PG, and isn't a fastbreak player. He plays Kobe-style ball, preferring a slow-down half-court game. This was the biggest complaint the last two years upstairs, and why Mills vs. Parker was such a hot-topic. Mills could space the floor for Kawhi, but isn't a true PG, is horrible defensively, and streaky. While Parker could not space the floor and actually needed Kawhi in spot up positions to space the floor for him and his two man PnR game he liked to play with LMA. This is likely why Kawhi is possibly unhappy. Spurs don't have a PG compatible with his strengths. Lilliard, Irving, Lowry are the PGs that fit his game.

I agree with you, just talking shit tbh :lol

Now is "not the time to a contender" with the Dubs as currently constructed. Now add the Rockets to the mix as they have the same championship window - as you have correctly alluded to.

As currently constructed, our most "seasoned" young gun is 23. We should sit back and develop these guys but we all know the Lakers won't do that. Short of poaching KD, there is nothing we can realistically do to get on their level short of raiding our young talent for a star or two. That doesn't work. Look at OKC. Top heavy and no bench. Anybody think they got a shot at the Finals? You gotta have depth or else you burn out your stars playing them too many minutes. This is what happened to Bin Harden last year.

Read my post again - we're in agreement. I said I'd trade everybody but Ingram. That includes Zo. Ingram has the highest ceiling on our roster. He's only 20. I saw him take several steps from his rookie year until now and I believe he's only scratching the surface of what he'll become 5 years from now when he enters his prime.

Yeah. This is why the NBA and its franchises need to implement a farm system, since developing young players "on the job" kind of restricts your roster building flexibility. Ideally, you would want Longo, Ingram, and any other prospect being developed in the minor leagues, where there's little media and other distractions. Then you could sign your star to the big league club, play out a season while the youth develop in the minors (star would be comforted knowing there's a slew of hot prospects on the horizon), and then call them up for next season, so you would have your star plus seasoned and developed rookies.

Well said son. We won 35 games despite a myriad of injuries, a weird ass month long incarceration of a starter, inexplicably starting LNJ over Randle, trading 3 key contributors away, incorporating IT for like 10 games, and one of the youngest rosters in the league. I honestly believe we could have won 45 games with this roster had we not have all this turmoil. Within those 35 wins were victories over most current playoff teams still playing (except NO and the Dubs) - including a sweep of the Sp*rs. :lmao

I wanna see what we have in this young squad, but it's been 5 years since we made the playoffs. I don't think Maginka has the mettle or the patience to rebuild this thing the right way. You can't skip steps.

Yup he’s not getting traded. Fans are really tired of the daily return from injury management schtick and he really displayed some antisocial tendencies but Spurs aren’t Spurfan and they aren’t going to screw the team over emotional takes.

All we can do is hope that leg is going to be fine tbh. There’s a big deal of denial from spurfan that the chronic tendinopathy doesn’t look good going forward either.

I think he will make all defensive teams when he starts hanging out at Golden Corral 3-5 days a week. I think he's 2 years away from being a 20pt scorer with about 5-6rpg and 4-6apg. Like I said before, he did an admirable job running the show when Zo was out. This, at 6'9" which is quite impressive.

Of course ^ projections will depend on which FAs join the Lake Show. If he's no worse than 2nd option this year his growth will accelerate. If we get, say LBJ and PG13 or Boogie, he goes down the pecking order and his growth will be stunted for obvious reasons.

He's easily the most talented player on our roster and I'd hate to see him wearing another jersey.

kuz has one advantage over ingram and that's the chip on his shoulder. i think that's one of the main reason he surprised a lot this year is his desire to prove that he belongs. those are intangibles you want on your player so it would be very hard for me to part with him- - as much as i love ingram.

but ingram's ceiling is higher and players usually break out in their 3rd season. tough choice, but id roll the dice here and gamble with ingram.

Great points. For me, Kuz > Ingram at scoring and that's it. Rebounding is a wash. Ingram is a much better defender and passer. Plus he is a full 2 years younger.

Ingram can't even buy a beer until this September. I'd venture to guess that at age 22, Ingram will post better numbers than 16.1ppg, 6.3rpg, and 1.8apg. At 20, Ingram is already 16.1ppg, 5.3rpg, and 3.9apg.

Ingram hasn't even filled into his body like Kuz. If he adds 15-20lbs of muscle he's gonna be a problem. He even has a 9'2" standing reach.

I may be in the minority, but Ingram is the only untouchable player on our roster.

2- Spurs trade Kawhi for assets..any assets they get would more than likely be better than Ingram and Kuzma, honestly

3- Spurs blow it up and tank..again, anybody they would draft in the top 5 would likely be a better prospect than Ingram or Kuzma

I actually like when the Lakers are good, it's better for the NBA when they are a quality team, but they have had little to show for this tanking run..

Embiid, Simmons, Towns, Porzingis, Booker, Tatum, Mitchell were all drafted in the past 4 years and they didn't get any of them..

Magic would not do that. If we absorb kawhi contract we won’t have enough to sign Paul George. If spurs goes that route than a third team needs to be brought on. Or you guys take Randle in a sign and trade we will have to stretch deng and than we can sign PG13... to me for a player who only played 9 games last season that seems a lot to give up. Randle Ingram and 2 draft picks for KL??? Not sure if I pull the trigger for that

Randle is due a huge payday and would negotiate a near max deal to ok a trade. No way the Spurs are paying Julian $20-25 million starting when power forward is the one position they don't need anyone at. So scratch Randle. If Magic isn't absorbing Leonard's contract into capspace he's going to have to hope Leonard doesn't sign an extension with whoever he ends up with and wait until next summer, because the Lakers don't have anywhere near the talent nor draft picks to bundle to offset how awful Deng's contract is.

I you look at it Deng contract is not that awful. lets say you keep Kawhi for another season and let him walk for nothing you are stuck with limited cap room. with Deng you get an expiring contract which is useful in getting another high impact player alongside LMA. I think long story short. If kawhi camp doesn't dictate where Kawhi is gonna go than you should be fine trading him or keeping him. but IF he claims Lakers or even utter the words Los Angeles than the spurs are going to have a hard time moving him to a team for top talent not named the lakers for a 1 year rental.

Also Magic cannot just absorb Kawhi contract. that's 40 million on 58 million dollars of cap space. meaning we have 18 million left to spend on PG-13, Randle and Isiah Thomas AND we need to find a center. that wont keep the lakers competitive. either the lakers stretch deng or they bring in a third team to take Deng off their hands.

You think you're getting the ultimate upside trade for nothing of value. Most likely case is you'd be getting a top 5 MVP candidate ready to play since the Spurs team doctors have had him cleared for games for months. A bad case might be his right quad slows him down enough so you just get an all-star. Worst case is he is done and you have a $20 million expiring contract with huge trade value at the deadline.

Kawhi's healthy enough to play. He just doesn't want to play for the Spurs. If he really wanted to be a Spur, he would have joined the team on the sideline even if he couldn't get on the floor. Boogie Cousins had a worse injury than that faker and still has managed to join the team during a break from his rehab. Kawhi's just a quitter at this point. No different than what Eric Gordon did to the Pels with a phantom knee injury for four years.

Keep in mind we don't have to trade deng we can stretch him and do a sign and trade with randle and ingram plus 2 draft picks...we can also bring in teams that are looking to unload contracts. Deng is not someone you play he is someone you use to fill in for trades. He will be an expiring after next season so the only additional contract money you will be taking on is 18 million for one season. Unless you want to roll the dice and keep kiwi here for one season and let him walk next season without getting nothing in return. In that case lakers can essentially pick him up for free.

No one expects equivalent talent, the Lakers could never offer equivalent talent because it's not on the roster and they don't have a good pick. The Lakers would be a 60 win team with Leonard and George next season so your picks have no value, maybe even negative value since late firsts are usually crap players on guaranteed contracts. Deng's also not an expiring next year, he's an expiring year after next, so he would have minimal trade value next season. You think you're getting an MVP for dogshit but the Spurs can get crap offers from other teams who would gamble on being able to re-sign Leonard with Bird Rights.

that's why i said you will be on the books 18 million next season and he will be a valuable trade asset for 2019. If spurs are looking for higher draft pick positioning than a deal with clippers would make more sense since they have the draft pick from Detroit for the blake griffin trade. Most likely it will be Detroit 2018 draft pick clippers 2019 draft pick and possibly tobias harris and Patrick Beverly for Leonard. even to me that sounds like shit compared to Ingram and Randle. rather have the potential player over the draft pick tbh

Harris + Beverley + two late lottery firsts is a way better return than Ingram. Randle isn't worth the $20 to $25 million he'll demand to be part of a sign and trade, I don't know why you keep trying to shoehorn that pos into trades.

It's commonly heard on the front office grapevine that Leonard is eyeing the Lakers as a free agent in 2019. One of the Western Conference executives noted it's no accident that the Lakers reportedly have shifted their free-agent plans to focus on the '19 class (which Leonard may headline), according to Shelburne and ESPN.com's Adrian Wojnarowski, as opposed to a quick fix this summer.

"That's why [the Lakers] are spinning it into 'wait till next year,'" the executive said. "They know they can get Kawhi."

In the last CBA update (where it was revised to avoid a lockout) CP3 was the head of the players union. One of the big things to come out of this most recent update was the ability for players of CP3 age/time in the league being able to get bigger pay days at their age. Also, with the benefit of hindsight, this CP3 type deal should have been so obvious. We knew 2 things: 1) CP leaving LAC was a legit possiblity & 2) He abused his power as a players union president basically to get that new contract in his favor

So knowing those two things, him leaving LAC would only happen via trade since we know he was damn well not going to give up that money.

Not really IMO. Randle isn't very good so the Lakers should let him walk regardless what happens with PG13 and Leonard. No way he's worth the $20 million plus per season he'll be asking for.

You know a terribly ran team like the Mavs is fantasizing about signing Randle to a franchise-killing deal:lol

With a $108 million cap for 2019-20 you'd have to do one of three things to land PG13 this summer and Leonard next:

1. Find someone to take Deng's contract, perhaps offering Ingram as a sweetener to do it.
2. Let Randle walk.
3. Not pick up the team options on both Ingram and Ball.

shhit no way would we give up Ingram to dump deng ...
a 1st rounder? Sure. Stretching Deng is also an option but onbiously Randle has to take a fair market deal. This has been outlined plenty and why Maginka cant cave to Randle's agent ...With no jumper 15 million is more than fair ...much higher than that we need to let him walk ...

Not true my man. Randle would walk but who cares if that means getting Kawhi. They can get Kawhi/PG if they trade for Kawhi or PG and sign one other with cap space even with Deng. Them dumping Clarkson put them in the driver seat.

I said only one of the three needs to happen. Randle walking would be enough for them to sign Leonard outright in summer 2019, assuming they add no salary for 2019-20 other than PG13 this summer.

Got ya - mis-read that then. But letting Randle go for nothing is really no big deal if it means a Kawhi/Lebron type player.

Sign him for $15 million and he becomes the second big FA signing with PG13 and now options #1 and #2 I laid out are the only ones to get Kawhi next summer.

Exactly. I think we may try Boogie on a 1-year prove it deal. If it works out, we have our starting 5 for the foreseeable future:

Zo
PG13
BI
Randle (?)
Boogie

If it doesn't work out, punt 1 max cap slot to 2019. Boogie is targeting training camp to be ready, but seeing what happened to Kobe post Achilles should give Maginka pause. Kobe's not 6'10" and 275lbs either.

Back on topic. I think SA gonna have to pull an Indy on Kiwi. I think his days in SATX are numbered tbh. Whether he plays for the Lakers or not doesn't really matter at this point.

You can't punt your max slot if you sign Randle. So you don't think they should give Boogie $48 million?

If we get assurances that he is healthy, absolutely. I doubt it though.

Truth be told, he was my plan A until he blew his Achilles.

48M over how many years?

Would DeMarcus sign a one year deal or you think he'd go for more years at less dollars due to his injury and not knowing how he'll come back from it?

I disagree, actually..I haven't been high on the Spurs in years, but in every scenario, their immediate future looks brighter than LA's, sadly:lol

1- Kawhi returns to SA..this automatically makes them better than LA, as Kawhi and Aldridge alone is better than the Lakers entire roster, obviously

2- Spurs trade Kawhi for assets..any assets they get would more than likely be better than Ingram and Kuzma, honestly

3- Spurs blow it up and tank..again, anybody they would draft in the top 5 would likely be a better prospect than Ingram or Kuzma

I actually like when the Lakers are good, it's better for the NBA when they are a quality team, but they have had little to show for this tanking run..

Embiid, Simmons, Towns, Porzingis, Booker, Tatum, Mitchell were all drafted in the past 4 years and they didn't get any of them..

Tatum and Booker were the true misses didnt have a chance at SIMMONS, towns or embiid ...porzy already damaged goods and no one scouted mitchell correctly.

A book could be complied from all the shitty predictions Lakers fans have made about their future on this forum since you paraded Kobe around like royalty as he took half of your salary cap for vacationing in Europe for 2 years.

As for the OP, Spurs don't have much power here. Leonard refuses to play, he's on the books for more with the Spurs sloppily tripping through another season just because.

The league should close ranks on these kinds of things and nip this shit in the bud before they become hostages to it. Instead, they eat each other at every opportunity (franchises).


Oh.. and :lol Boogie! Achilles 2.0
