Young: sources tell @ExpressNews that Kawhi Leonard wants to be traded from Spurs

[DPG21920]

LBJ left $50 million on the table to play with Lonzo. What's so far fetched with Kiwi leaving money on the table too? D12 did it to the Lakers. I'm just saying...

Anywho, I thought this was interesting:

1016480996571705345

Either Pelinka is flat out lying or you farmers are full of shit. :lol

My friend, let’s walk through this:

1) Do you think Kawhi is disgruntled?

2) Do you think that a disgruntled player would be ok with rotting in the place he is disgrunteld with with no financial security?

So even if you think it’s not about money (it always is, Kawhi is already down 40M from not getting the SuperMax, LA is now asking him to eat another 40M on top of that), would you be fine as a player having a team you want to play for tell you “no thanks” and you now have to stay after all you have done?

Christ, you think LeBron wants to play with Lonzo. He wants to get rid of that guy and his knucklehead father. That's why they're shopping him on the DL and he's gonna be gone before the end of the season along with Bill Walton's kid.

And of course Pelinka is lying. Classic weasel words. Claiming other GMs have been calling about his players and that's why these players are good. If he had any faith he'd make a case himself instead of making up some fake scenario. Fact is Lake Show has fucked up their draft process for five years. Five years of terrible teams and nothing to show for it. :lol

[rastaspur]

Wow thanks for the info. :toast I didn’t even know that existed. Gonna see if amazon got any.

Get the dulytek. Its 400 bucks. No solvents needed. No butane so you wont blow yourself up. Its easy. Heat and pressure is all it takes. Hell you can do it with a decent flat hair iron.

[spurs1990]

Well thanks for greeting me here. I'm well aware this place is a bit of an Internet cesspool just below the likes of 4chan; but honestly, that's part of the charm and the main reason I've been reading posts on here for so long.

I know you were being tongue in cheek but there really is uniqueness to this board as it's one of the most unmoderated you'll find. It's refreshing in that sense as compared to how easily offended so many people are online on all the other media outlets. (And this is coming from someone who grossly trolled on the usenets newsgroups in the late 90s.)

Outside of the master trolling you'll get some damn good info on some threads here.

If LeBron wanted Lonzo gone, Lonzo would be gone. LeBron signed his contract today because he is good with what the Lakers are doing. Otherwise, he'd string it out until they made the moves he wanted.

Lakers turned down lottery picks for Lonzo in this draft. Only way Lonzo leaves is in a trade for Lillard.

And as for "nothing to show for it" . . . We have LEBRON, bitches!

Lillard. Don't be a dumb fuck. He's not for sale. The Lakers have been shopping Lonzo for two weeks now before his daddy dropped the injury news and scared folks off. They'll come around again. LeBron wants the kid gone. Doesn't want the Lavar circus. He's going to be joined with Deng's horrendous contract or to just get picks or whatever. But guarantee the Lakers don't sign Rondo without knowing that acne-face Lonzo is gone at some point.

I've been on online forums since 2005 when I was 13 (I trolled the older Nintendo forums before they got shut down in 2007). There's definitely an appeal to smaller community, self moderated communities over places like Reddit, Facebook comment threads, etc. Lot less of a hivemind and there's also the fun of running into the same people over and over. Can be a bit of slower pace too.

Dude was trolling nintendo forums. He's an o.g. if he would have said attari forums i would have dibbed him the godfather of trolls.

[ElNono]

In retrospect, Kawhi's biggest mistake was to be a quiet guy, tbh.... if he would've been an angry, loud, chest-bumping black man, he would've been traded years ago...

[LkrFan]

1) Do you think Kawhi is disgruntled?

1) Yes, his actions prove it
2) 2018: $18,868,625; 2019: $20,099,188

These are guaranteed deals. Unless CIA Pop somehow has him Colin Kaepernicked, he ain't worried about funds.

That $40 million he's shorted (not $80 million), can easily be made up in Hollywood endorsements. Everyone knows that.

LA ain't saying no thanks, it's actually RC and Pop. Disgruntled stars aren't worth a king's ransomPERIOD.

Keep telling yourself that son. LBJ could have easily signed with Philly, but he didn't now did he? :)

Our scrubs were so bad that they SWEPT the Spurs WITHOUT a star player. :lmao

[Leetonidas]

Bragging about the regular season :lol sad how far Lakers have fallen

[spurs10]

I'm telling you all: Let this go into the season.
Watch the Lakers lose games the media thinks they shouldn't have lost.
Walton will be brought into question.
Lebron will be asked 8 times a day about it.

Watch what happens.

Kawhi comes in and actually plays, things change.
Kawhi comes in and holds out... Talk about cutting off someone's nose to spite their face.
I relish it.

NO TRADE!!
It sounds very Pop and RC...they are not going to be played by Uncle Moneyloser.


If Pop is Pop and left to do his thing... This is what I see happening.
Nobody forces Pop to do things on their time.

Why not drag Kawhi into camp?
Why not force him into dealing with the Coach of Team USA?

Why not? It's not like the deals are getting worse.

I get it. There is zero rush and the pressure is on Kawhi, his psyche and his Uncle to deal with this conflagration of events.

Keep them. Deal with it.
(with the shades going down...) I’ve been thinking this for some time. Make him play and if makes All-NBA (which he’ll need to if not offered the supermax this summer, which could still happen) give him the supermax.

[Mr. Body]

Keep telling yourself that son. LBJ could have easily signed with Philly, but he didn't now did he? :)



Of course LeBron wasn't going to sign with Philly. He wanted a cush job not having to actually do anything for the next several years on the spinning-their-wheels Lakers. That's why they signed Stephenson and McGee, because he doesn't give a shit about competing. Sooner you realize this, the better. :lol

It is 80M. SuperMax to Free Agency is 80M.

If he’s sitting out, he will not get paid so it’s not guaranteed. Also, if he plays, and gets injured, sure, he’s made money but he still missed out on massive money.

LA is saying no thanks. If Kawhi wants to play there and willing to re-sign then it’s a slap in the face to not give up all the young players to get him.

No :lol I finally think you are realizing the logic and implications of what you are saying.

1) Kawhi is disgruntled.

2) Lakers have sucked, but this star wants to play there.

3) He’s so pissed and hates SA so much he is willing to give up 40+M to leave.

4) He will not be very happy that a bad lakers team, that can pay him 40M more by trading for him wont give up guys who barely won 35 games to get him and is forcing him to stay in a place he’s willing to give up 40M to get out of.

It’s not silver and black glasses; it’s reality.

I don't believe he will. I am of the opinion that he will sign with whomever he's traded to. Any team that acquired him can give him a 184M contract. If he goes to Philly or anywhere really he'll take the 184M as opposed to losing that additional 40M to go to LA. That's why the only real decision for the Lakers is: do you think kawhi is worth more than any free agent in the market next year? If so, you should trade for him if not then you shouldn't.

[DPG21920]

Holy cow look at this passage out of Philly :lol


"For every significant player that is a star that we have the ability to get, whether that is in free agency or trades or developing Markelle, we are focused on each one of those players," Harris said when talking about weighing how to add more stars to the Sixers' core. "Not all of them fit, but a lot of them do. Certainly, if you sign them as a free agent, you get them for free. If you have to give up a lot of stuff, you factor that in and take that into account. Just from our point of view, we are on a great trajectory right now, almost without it. I think we certainly would add, and more than we would, we are really spending hour after hour trying to figure out how to add and try to manage those types of risks.


"Whether it be certainly a lot of the players you would trade for, there are risks that they are not going to be with your team, you don't necessarily have them on a long-term contract," Harris continued. "So we talk about this stuff endlessly and how to manage those risks. If the right situation comes, where we can acquire somebody that will really add value to our program, and the cost of it isn't prohibitive, then we will move forward and do that. If that doesn't come along for whatever reason, we will keep moving forward with our program. Just based on what we did this offseason, we are going to get better and move closer to our goal, which is that NBA championship that we keep talking to. If we get the right deal, we will do it."

It sounds very Pop and RC...they are not going to be played by Uncle Moneyloser.

I’ve been thinking this for some time. Make him play and if makes All-NBA (which he’ll need to if not offered the supermax this summer, which could still happen) give him the supermax.

A massive risk, because if he doesn't, there is no supermax and there is no resigning and no compensation. Also, there is a chance that he could be undeservingly missing out on DPOTY or MVP or First NBA team. Take 2 seasons ago for example. Third in MVP voting and probably deserved it over the stat stuffers. Missed out on DPOTY to Draymond Green. With Lebron in LA, Durant getting wins, Davis could have a massive year without Cousins, the NBA dollar elite could just let him slide out of the First Team, even though he may be 3rd in MVP voting, just to take away the Spurs big carrot. First teams are different from winning awards. Tyson Chandler won DPOTY once but didn't make the First Team in D.

In saying that, if he was to make the First Team, or win MVP, or win DPOTY, you would assume the Spurs are winning and obviously he is playing well. Playing well again and winning makes you happy. And there are plenty of times he is alone with the Spurs and not with his uncle. Giving the Spurs plenty of opportunity to network and get him back on board.

That's what a done deal looks like.

[exstatic]

doubtful tbh...kawhi will just find a doctor to say he's not cleared and sit out

No. The Spurs LET him do that last year to keep the peace and try to mend things. It’s war now. The Spurs can get a league eval, and if he’s cleared, he has to play, or lose game checks. If he sits more than 30days, he loses FA next summer, and has to play under this year’s contract. He does have the option to retire, but he gets no money this year, and will have no options for Bird rights. The most he could sign for would be 4/139.

1016385446220369920

I hope this faggot does withdraw. It would be our luck he would tear up a knee or reinjure that quad forcing him to miss half the season and us trading him at the trade dead line for nothing.

[cjw]

Kawhi likely signs a 2+1 deal if he leaves the Spurs after this year or even if he resigns with the Spurs and doesn’t qualify for the Supermax. That would give him FA again after his tenth year, when he can take a bigger deal at 35% of the cap instead of 30%.

So basically the equivalent of the Supermax. Say the cap is $109 million in 2019-20. A supermax with Bird raises (8%) vs. a two year deal + opt out and sign a max deal (35%) with non-Bird extensions (5%) when the cap is projected to be $121 million (11% higher) would be:

Supermax 2+opt out and sign
Year 1 $38.2mm $32.7mm (or $5.5mm less)
Year 2 $41.2mm $34.3mm ($12.4mm less cumulatively)
Year 3 $44.2mm $42.4mm ($14.2mm less cumulatively)
Year 4 $47.3mm $44.5mm ($17.0mm less cumulatively)
Year 5 $50.4mm $46.6mm ($20.8mm less cumulatively)
Total $221.3mm $200.5mm


This is purely about maximizing money. The difference isn’t $40 million like some people are claiming it is assuming he’s good enough and healthy enough to get maxed out. The money isn’t that different and this is the math his group is doing. And knowing what we do, he IS healthy.

If he’s not going to be healthy enough for a max deal, then signing the longest deal possible makes the most sense.


(I know numbers don’t tie out 100% but doing this on my phone)

If he’s traded somewhere and they get his Bird Rights, he probably also does a 2+1 and gets larger annual raises and eats into the $21mm difference.

[DAF86]

That is not the relevant part; the part I quoted was. It was very obvious they were talking about Kawhi. The interest is real.

Of course the interest is real. The thing is knowing what they consider a "prohibitive cost".

He has to play at least 30 games..

If he doesn’t he can’t become a free agent unless Spurs grant it...

I’m pretty sure that’s like 75% of the rule lol

He has to play a lot more than that. If he misses 30 DAYS of teams activity, his contract rolls over to next season.

Uncle dennis made him do it. Thought it was going to pay millions. Once he did the currency exchange math he realized he couldnt even afford to buy everyone in the group a hello kitty back pack with the yen he would get.

He has to play a lot more than that. If he misses 30 DAYS of teams activity, his contract rolls over to next season. by this, then how does this past season qualify for fulfilling his contract?

In retrospect, Kawhi's biggest mistake was to be a quiet guy, tbh.... if he would've been an angry, loud, chest-bumping black man, he would've been traded years ago...

Yeah, I kind of remember something like that. My question is: was that all that there was to it, or all this drama put a sudden stop to that campaign?

[exstatic]

Spurs didn’t press the point, as they were trying to fix things. That’s no longer the case. You can bet that if The Group tries the same thing, Pop will be on the phone with Silver, asking for a league independent medical evaluation. If he’s cleared, he has to play, or lose game checks and service days.

On the subject of trading Kawhi, I would think he suddenly has great value to an East team looking to solidify their Finals chances now that Lebron went West. Even a one year rental would almost assure Boston, Philly or Toronto a decent shot at a Finals appearance, post Lebron. Heck, he might even get sold on Miami.

The history of Kawhi's agency is so damn shady. I don't know how many current NFL players they rep, but Kawhi's the only current NBA player (right?).

In 2014, the guy who recruited Kawhi to Impact was fired for stealing money, and it ends up he wasn't a certified agent with the NBPA:
The source said, “It was easier for (Carlos Dew) to do what he needed to do to recruit without being certified (by the NBPA).”
http://sportsagentblog.com/2014/06/17/report-impact-sports-basketball-suffers-setback/

In 2016, Impact sued a former employee over a non-compete agreement that was never signed. Impact allegedly falsified the agreement (the guy wasn't even in the country on the date they alleged he signed it):
http://www.mayalaw.com/2016/10/31/rival-sports-agencies-noncompete/

They received a $10 million investment in 2017 from a billionaire real estate developer whose company owns 100+ buildings in NY. And then as part of their "services" to the players, they try to get them to invest in real estate. How is that not a conflict?
https://www.forbes.com/sites/darrenheitner/2017/02/28/10-million-investment-should-have-a-major-impact-for-sports-agency/#6ae94dd1701a

And of course, most recently, Kawhi's former agent with Impact (Elfus) is suing the agency for commissions owed from Kawhi's current deal:
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/23781532/kawhi-leonard-former-agent-sues-commissions

One would think. The art of persuasion from close family members can not be underestimated. Its a powerful force in a close knit family which is made exponentially worse by kawhis personality.

Ole uncle dennis has shown his qualities and scorched earth tactics. If trapped in a corner like wounded animal hes not admitting to his selfish agenda, etc., its spin it however i can to his mentally challenged meal ticket. The whole industry is shady, blah, blah, if you think impact is bad then you have no clue, blah, blah. Or the this is standard industry practice, blah blah. Or impact will always take care of u and ur family. ... they have taken care of us.

Those two will fling more shit on the wall than an adhd monkey just to see what sticks.

[lmbebo]

off topic : if we get Fultz from Philly:

If there’s one thing that could unravel his game as a pro, it would be his shot not translating. It’s not exactly the same species of skepticism as the concern trolling over Ball’s shooting form (https://theringer.com/lonzo-ball-ucla-shooting-mechanics-6eeda2ef3e41), but there’s at least some reason to wonder if Fultz will be as lights-out from deep in the NBA. His range doesn’t extend far beyond the college line, and his release is on the slow side. Just as concerning, he shot 64.9 percent on foul shots, which ESPN Insider’s Kevin Pelton pointed out is a slightly better predictor (http://insider.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/19669555/trade-grades-boston-celtics-philadelphia-76ers-draft-picks-swap-nba) of NBA 3-point shooting ability than college 3-point percentage on its own — and Fultz wasn’t overwhelming enough from 3 (41.3 percent) to make up for the free throws.

Read between the lines. When wright says they didnt know anything hes implying they didnt have a pipeline directly to the non spurs doctor and rehab team. So what the spurs got was whatever version kawhis group was feeding them.

Do nurses not have a fucking clue about hippa laws? If kawhi doesnt give consent to have his medical info released to the spurs then they cant get access. Same for the rehab aspect.

The info they got was from kawhis group. He came back on his own timeline. The spurs decided to play him based on what kawhi and/or his group relayed to the spurs, not the other way around.

Since he hasn't been traded and they still have the $221 million or whatever it is to offer yeah I guess there still is a small chance. I don't know if that meeting or talk Pop wanted has taken place, but I assume it did.

They were going to negotiate with Boston and possibly the Raptors (don't like that much), but that was last week. A lot could've changed.

Probably because that was the easiest way to soft peddle it to the media and further protect the star they created from scratch.

Im sure uncle dennis had a come apart ovee some dumb ahit and pulled the plug on him and pulled a 180.

If your star player comes back, seems to be fine, and just ups and quits on the team how do you positively spun that from a p.r. perspective? The best strategy would be the card that was played.

Spurs gave an inch and he and his group took a mile. Pretty evident to me. They bent over backwards to appease him and protect him.

Someone needs to tell that agent to issue some discovery in the case against impact and request bank records for payments to an eric cisneros. It would make sense tbh

Why not SGA? I don't think they would give up Lou because that's too much scoring lost. I agree with you on the 76ers assets. Fultz is a potential bust/situation similar to Kawhi, Covington is basically a younger, bigger version of Danny and Saric isn't a great defender.

The Spurs keep trying to raise the ante for Leonard, saying that another team is offering more, according to sources.

The Sixers’ most realistic package to submit to San Antonio could involve Dario Saric, Robert Covington and the Miami Heat’s 2021 unprotected first-round pick. However, the Spurs want two players — again, believed to be Saric and Covington — and three future first-round picks.

[Marcus Bryant]

Cris Carter's agent back when he entered the NFL draft was Mitch Frankel, Kawhi's current agent. I'm not sure why he doesn't mention that.

Basic problem is Kawhi has a NFL agent. Any holdout will result in loss of pay as well as only extend the Spurs' rights to his services. It's not as simple as expecting to run the clock out and become a free agent.

[Kori Ellis]

Well, that explains why chris carter insists on carrying the groups bucket of puss poor excuses...

Exactly.

Cris Carter: "Selecting Mitch Frankel as I entered the 1987 NFL Draft was the best decision I made about my career. He tutored and mentored me..."

So, it should be disclosed he's not exactly commenting from a neutral point of view.

[Marcus Bryant]

Cris Carter is in on the deal. Why he's even broadcast speaking about football is a mystery, before considering basketball.

No one knew of kawhis medical state except for him since he was allowed to have full control of his rehab by the spurs and the spurs kept on making remarks that he was already healthy.

No one except Kawhi, the Spurs medical team, the outside expert the Spurs brought in, and the 7 or 8 other docs he went to who told him he was fine.

[rastaspur]

Exactly.

Cris Carter: "Selecting Mitch Frankel as I entered the 1987 NFL Draft was the best decision I made about my career. He tutored and mentored me..."

So, it should be disclosed he's not exactly commenting from a neutral point of view.

Fingers are crossed when its all said and done that chris carter winds up drenched from carrying those pales of piss.

His co-host Nick has hinted at everytime Chris starts stating that he knows people lose to Kawhi.

He should also point out that his own brother is one of his trainers. I mean, it's almost like they all planned this whole fucking thing...

[MoSpur02]

Why not SGA? I don't think they would give up Lou because that's too much scoring lost. I agree with you on the 76ers assets. Fultz is a potential bust/situation similar to Kawhi, Covington is basically a younger, bigger version of Danny and Saric isn't a great defender.

No to SGA because we have that position covered. I think he's going to be good, but I'd like too see what kind of player Murray turns out to be this season.

[manufan10]

Kawhi was never faking injuries.

Thats a belief that the spurs want to everyone to believe.

No one knew of kawhis medical state except for him since he was allowed to have full control of his rehab by the spurs and the spurs kept on making remarks that he was already healthy.

He just coincidentally became 100% as soon as the season was over. :rolleyes

I wish he would do it. Not necessarily kidnap, but I wish that Pop could talk to Kawhi without any other member of the "group." I don't know Kawhi or anything, but it's so hard to believe that he's totally onboard with all the craziness.

Maybe Kawhi doesn't even know that his group told the media he wants to go to LA. They might have him locked in a basement somewhere in California.

Kawhi faked his injury all season and will fake again if needed.

Lol. No need to give up the farm when your former GM gifts him to you. Come on, man. Laker fan being born on third base won't ever go unnoticed around here. You only prosper because of the weather, ocean, and hills. Because by and large, you rarely grow your own talent.

[FireMicoHalili]

:lol Impact sports is one football agent working out of the trunk of his car, and Uncle Dennis and Moms on the payroll. I guarantee you that PATFO aren’t losing any sleep over their next move.
Not saying they’re losing sleep over it, but didn’t some Republican/Trump supporter inject cash into Impact? They’re still probably trying to cook up something. Kori Ellis posted some links which prove the same. Leonard’s camp can probably also force him to play 30% of the season to do away with the CBA requirement so he can bolt next offseason. That might play well into the Spurs’ hand by upping his trade value before he gets dealt but at the same time he messes with team chemistry. Can also probably poison the well.

I know Pop and Buford are playing a lot of chess but all I’m saying is that these Impact Sports buffoons aren’t done yet. I’ll expect some useless rumors over the next few weeks until the Spurs trade Leonard to a team that’s NOT the Lakers.

Way too easy. The Lakers can keep their group of nobodies and the Spurs can keep Kawhi or can deal him to another team. I don’t see what the problem is now, are you salty the Spurs won’t take the Lakers’ offer? Personally I don’t know how the Lakers struggled to sign anyone substantial the past five years given their financial capability (as you said, cash isn’t a problem) and the Hollywood lifestyle. Says a lot about the organization.

[Robz4000]

They don't have to take any return. Just hold onto him and make him play out next season if he doesn't help the Spurs out.

[rastaspur]

Spurs dont have to.

Thats like you saying if you are one of two people in a bar at last call and the other one is a girl who weighs 500 pounds (who knocked down her bedroom wall to go clubbing for her birthday), then you have to take her home. You really dont have to. Perhaps pornhub is the better alternative ( i.e., no trade)

[rastaspur]

The spurs cant trade him just for the sake of trading him. Sometimes you have to take a loss or be resigned to just let it go.

Thats like being stood up the night of prom by the prettiest girl in school. You arent going to save face or replace her by making a rash knee jerk reaction and hiring a 50 dollar hooker to be your date. You just sit it out and chalk it up as a loss while walking away with the little bit of dignity you still have.

[FireMicoHalili]

It makes a ton of sense to just extend him (not for the supermax) and find a trade partner thereafter. The Spurs close on him on a discount and all apprehensions about a one-year rental and being non-committal all vanish, eradicating all leverage other teams might have. It all then comes down to his health, something a few games can solve, given Pachulia’s not out there anymore (hopefully). As it stands other GMs think they can strike now because they can get pennies on the dollar. The front office might not be adept at maintaining modern stars but they aren’t dumb.

[johnnymoore]

He’s done it for a season. Team barely made the playoffs but is probably better equipped to handle divas like him this time around. Spurs called for offers, decided nothing was good enough, and that’s it. He’s still under contract, not a Sixer, a Celtic, and definitely not a Laker. Everything else is just white noise.

[FireMicoHalili]

He has to agree to an extension. That isn't happening given the current state of relations.
The Spurs have the leisure of at least this season to assess and reevaluate their options. Nothing is final until it is. The Lakers can keep holding on to their unproven young talent for the meantime since the team places a lot of stock on them anyway.

[venitian navigator]

I see Spurs putting, July 16th, on the table, an offer of 190 millions for five years. No trade clauses. No player options. one week to sign it and agree.
And on the other end, the perspective of a Toronto trade to make the last minute at the deadline. That means his last year will be one where he will see the real difference between Texas taxes and Toronto/California taxes.
No way his group re-up with Raptors, considering how greedy uncle Dennis has shown to be. So they lose the 80 millions plus taxes and put the healthy pressure on their side for the rest of the year till they find a new contract...

Haha. Im trying to use absurd examples. It is fitting though. This has all been so absurd as far as how it has played out. I know it hurts the franchise i love, but an example needs to be set. Principle should dictate how this plays out on the spurs end. It might be a jerry macguire moment, but sometimes you got to go out on a limb and take a stand.

They cave and trade him for a hot steaming pile of crap and i am finding a new franchise to follow. Why? Principle.

I don't get the 'trade him for anything' over lose him for nothing mindset. It's clear no ones wants to give too much for a headcase with an amateur agent, so what's the point in getting b and c level talent and late picks? Chicago traded Butler for Lavine and are now paying him $20 mil because they couldn't lose the main asset they received?

There's more value in keeping him and playing him and winning games and then letting him walk if he wants. Let's see if he'd really leave all that money just to get out. And if he doesn't play there's a lawsuit coming up and Silver will intervene, so I don't see how his group would dare to do it.

fultz started playing in the playoffs and mysteriously disappeared then this proposal by the sixers is trash, enough

Fultz played in as many playoff games as Derrick White and hit 1/3 the number of shots as White on more attempts than White.

I do think Fultz will turn out okay, as he’s super young. But the Spurs in negotiations need to be hammering home the fact that the #1 pick couldn’t see the court in round 2. He’s also making over $22 million in years 3 and 4 ... year 2 is irrelevant at this point, which is more annual money than the Kyle Anderson deal the Spurs declined to match. Those high salary numbers have to count against his value, as does his insane QO in year 5 at over $15 million.

Having the #1 pick is great if it hits. It’s also expensive. For comparison, the #3 pick he was dealt for is about $4-$4.5 million cheaper over years 3 and 4.

Same negotiation tactic needs to take hold with the Lakers on Ball and Ingram. They’re not cheap prospects like Kawhi was at one point, or Mitchell is, or Greek Freak was, or how Kuzma (ugh) is. These early first rounders are damn expensive.

Exactly. Been saying this. Kawhi is a top 5 player in the league. You don't trade him for role players. You have to receive at the very least an All Star player in return.
