So will Toronto trade KL to the Lakers?

[Blake]

That would suck

[rjv]

That would suck

unlikely because i think part of the reason for the trade on toronto's part was to create potential cap space, but i'm just glad it's not our problem anymore.

[daslicer]

It's definitely going to be a shit show for Toronto. Watch the Lakers intensify trade rumors when they go on a 7-8 game losing streak and Lebron loses his patience.

[Spur|n|Austin]

What a relief this headache is over with, I honestly don't GAF what happens with that punk now; good riddance!

I think the Raptors trade Kawhi to either the Lakers or Clippers.

I'm not a fan of Colin Cowherd but I think he's right about this.

I don't. They have a legitimate chance to make the finals now. Their fanbase would implode if they move him. Now, a sign and trade next summer? Maybe.... but not this season.

[Dverde]

They would have to take Deng back.

[2Cleva]

Deng to Sacramento for a future 1st.
Hart, Wagner, Svi and Zubac to Toronto.
Leonard to LA.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

They can win the east. Worst case they get cap space next summer. They aren't going g to ship him for laker trash.

[superbigtime]

If they do, the lakers will be all the easier to dislike. Kawhi disgusts me.

[YGWHI]

I doubt it.

But if the situation becomes toxic in Toronto with Kawhi's representatives forcing to leave at deadline, and Lakers aren't winning many games or at least the games they expected...I can see a trade.

After all it's not like Toronto wants Kawhi for his game, they wanted dump salaries...

1019613921857060864

[Trainwreck2100]

my big hope which is now my big fear, is that the Lakers are ass in the beginning of the season and Lebron forces the godfather offer before the deadline.

[tbdog]

lol, yeah Kings take Deng and give up 1st.

[Mugen]

:lol Wgaf, not our problem anymore

[rascal]

I think the Raptors trade Kawhi to either the Lakers or Clippers.

Agree
I don't see Kawhi playing a single game in Toronto.

The Lakers are probably on the phone right now.

[Ron Swanson]

I don’t give a shit and Kawhi and his group are no longer our problem.

[Jdspur20]

Deng to Sacramento for a future 1st.
Hart, Wagner, Svi and Zubac to Toronto.
Leonard to LA.

Go eat a turd troll.

If Kawhi doesn't work out, how does anyone expect them to rebuild?

Just because you have cap space doesn't mean you're gonna attract free agents

[cjw]

Deng to Sacramento for a future 1st.
Hart, Wagner, Svi and Zubac to Toronto.
Leonard to LA.

Hart, Wagner, Svi and Zubac is closer to the offer it would take to trade away Luol Dung’s turd contract than a package that would get them Leonard. Maybe Meyers Leonard.

[DAF86]

Why would they? They would be contenders to win it all if Kawhi plays. And if he doesn't play, they are better off letting Kawhi's 20 millions expire than taking on Deng's contract, which is the only way the Lakers have of making a trade work.

[YGWHI]

If Kawhi doesn't work out, how does anyone expect them to rebuild?

Just because you have cap space doesn't mean you're gonna attract free agents

If those NBA's Toronto reporters on Twitter are right, the Raptors have confidence in their young guys and they also expect to lure max guys.

Kawhi is a rare case, not every NBA player left money on the table to join some X team, there are many good-to-great players that want a max contract next season.

[ducks]

leonard could change his mind and go to boston
raps want picks to rebuild

Agreed I think it's laughable to believe any team that's not a top 10 US Market has a chance to get a max player through FA.

[StrengthAndHonor]

Fwiw, Luol Deng and Masai Ujirii has a close knit relationship.


I won’t be surprised if Ujiri accepts a package of Deng either Kuzma or Hart plus a future 1st.

NBA FA market doesn't work every offseason in the same way. There are players who got great deals in previous seasons that wouldn't get it in the same way this offseason. Who knows how good/bad the market will look next year.

That guy is a moron. He is the one who assured us from his inside source that LeBron was opting in and the Lakers were going to trade Deng and crap for him even after I pointed out it would put the Cavs in the same kind of luxury tax hell the Thunder are in with Melo's deal.

LA still got LeBron - by hook or by crook. The semantics were wrong but Lakers adding superstars, Spurs losing them.

But you got reason to be mad. Ya'll done.

I never said you weren't getting LeBron, it was obvious he was out of Cleveland once he did that interview in the Finals where he said he'd have never done the Irving trade. I said you were an idiot thinking the Cavs would pay through the nose in luxury tax to take back Deng and one of your scrub young players vs just letting LeBron walk.

Yeah exactly why it's a gamble to keep Kawhi in Toronto and just hope for the best after he ditches them

[hater]

Who cares?

We are done with him :lmao


Still I will have to support Kawhis team as long as we start cancerburger mills

[Blake]

Because Toronto TV market size is serious!

It's all of Canada. Which is still half the size of California. This country goes crazy when Raps make a run

[TimDunkem]

Doesn't matter to Ujiri. He wants capspace. If Kawhi isn't staying, he will commence the rebuild.

[Blake]

I mean besides Kawhi

Yes, kuzma is great, ujiri will not get something better in free agency...

Reading comprehension I said said top 10 US Market and Toronto is not a top 10 US Market since it's not in the US. Toronto's market size is huge but let's be real players don't want to go to Toronto due to the high taxes along with it being outside of the US.

Lol I thought you were being sarcastic when you said you agreed with me.

[johnnymoore]

Taxes are not as big a factor as you think. If living and playing somewhere you want means you take home $19.7 million per year instead of $21.2 million per year, most players won't notice the hit.

lakers also have rondo, kcp expiring contracts to work with...

I figured a 3 team deal a couple months ago tbh. Spurs cannot let it be known they colluded with the NBA to make the Lakers relevant again for profit sharing reasons.

In the National Basketball Association, a sign-and-trade agreement is a type of contract (allowed by the collective bargaining agreement [CBA]) wherein one franchise/team signs an unrestricted free agent player to a new contract, only to then immediately trade him to another team (of the player's choosing). This is typically done to enable the player to obtain a higher salary and/or greater number of years on their contract than NBA salary cap rules ordinarily allow the destination team, itself, to provide the player.[1]

clippers for harris/shai alexander (canadian player which raptors wanted in the first place)

[Captivus]

I havent read all the kawhi posts...so im guessing this issue had already appear. Still..it applies i think to this thread.

Why would the Raptors make the pick protected 20? When theres is no way they are that bad in the current eastern conference.
Maybe theres something more coming...

They definitely overachieved in the regular but were not built for the playoffs. If Kawhi is truly hurt somewhat this team could easily slip below 20. Shows you how much leverage the Raptors had vs the Spurs.

If the clippers step up before the trade deadline and make a very attractive offer, the Raptors might jump on it.

I can see it now Apo and Uncle Fester explaining to Kawhi trying to break the news his ass has been traded. K- Y your going on a journey to a special place a very cold but very special. Oh and it’s cold so fucking cold. Lol.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

So, if the Lakers didn't want to part with their best young pieces this year with the Spurs and now lose on 1 more Lebron prime year.... what will they offer Toronto a year from now? I would image they would have to part with some of those young pieces but it wouldn't make sense to wait and waste a year to do so when the result would be the same.... very interesting

[ndbutch]

I don't. They have a legitimate chance to make the finals now. Their fanbase would implode if they move him. Now, a sign and trade next summer? Maybe.... but not this season.

Leonard will be a FA next summer. Teams don't need to do anything but clear cap space. Which is why the Lakers did all those 1 year deals. And they might not even have to stretch Deng since that asinine contract he has would be set to expire after 2019. Catnip to teams trying to clear cap space the next season.

It could be a PG situation but I doubt it. I don't see Leonard bonding with Lowery, Toronto or Canadian taxes.

after all i've heard over the past 24 hours i am that much more convinced that leonard is a raptor for all of next season.

Yes and no... he can be a free agent but, he also has an opt in clause for the following season. There could be a Chris Paul type situation there. Let's say the Lakers can package deng+ingram+w agner for a kawhi if he'd agree to exercise his option then that could leave them with the cap space to sign another max player. Or maybe he decides he wants to be in Philly or BY, then the same woyld apply there.

If we are being honest, most of us do still care. We want to see Kawhi wither in some other basketball system and then crash and burn under the bright lights of big market media scrutiny.

[exstatic]

If Kawhi doesn't work out, how does anyone expect them to rebuild?

Just because you have cap space doesn't mean you're gonna attract free agents

Did you not watch Philly at all? OKC, when their players were still on rookie deals? FAs are only one way to use cap space. Like Philly, you can 'rent' it. We'll take your bad two year contract. The price is that you have to send us an unprotected, or minimally protected lottery pick. Do that enough times, and it accelerates your rebuild faster than just your own lottery picks.

[exstatic]

That's strange for a team that just won 60 games to do.

Philly made the second round in 2011. They had a bad following season, and one year after being in the ECSFs, burned it to the ground. It's not strange when your team has hit it's ceiling. The Spurs aren't doing it for two reasons: Pop, and they want to let their bad contracts roll off so that they CAN do it. I think they will do whatever they need to in 2020, including a full rebuild, with 2-3 players already a couple of years into the development track.
