Ok, Cuban will not do the right thing and keep Dirk hostage like the Suns did with Nash, but just imagine he says: "Skrew it, we owe you something Dirk and will see if we get something for you while bringing you to a contender"!
Would you trade Leonard for Nowitzki straight up?

Straight up.
I absolutely would, but I doubt salaries work out and Dallas wouldn't do it.
Kawhi might offer the best long-term value, but we must have a win-now mentality as the Duncan era comes to a close, tbh.

KL's new haircut wasn't worried about Dirk last week
Just to clear it up: I wouldn't trade him as well, but I thought it's tighter than it obviously is (on a Spurs board).
Not sure what gives us a better chance to give Timmy #5:
a) A guy that can defend the Durants and LeBrons of the world.
b) A guy that gives us a great A-option if teams figure out the TP-PnR.
Everyone has their price, including Leonard. But it's not an aged superstar who plays the same position as an even better aged superstar on the team and who offers nothing defensively.
sure i a heartbeat
Only make the trade for pre championship Dirk..after the mavs won, his hunger went right down the tubes...no thanks.
What insult to leonard

Dirk isn't a great fit for the Spurs. Defensively, Duncan and Dirk are too slow footed to guard a smaller player after the P&R switch, they are also slow to guard PF's. Chandler and Splitter/Diaw were the right complementary players for them.
Also, Kawhi is perhaps better at this point. So the trade wouldn't make sense. Let's hope Pop saw the light when no one could stop Kawhi when he drove in the finals. He should have some plays called for him.
I can't believe any Spurs fan would think this is a good idea. Leonard will be better than Dirk next year, bookmark that.
no brainer
What the hell did Kawhi do to his arm? That looks awful.Quote:

Some questions don't deserve an answer. This one would qualify as such.
That's Kawhi's posse people! 'Stupid gringo kid' is not a gringo!Quote:

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Kawhi isn't better than Dirk, I don't know what you lot are smoking. You'd just be throwing away the future for one last shot. Decent idea imo, then just start the tanking + rebuilding process
21 year old Kawhi is more valuable, particularly to the Spurs than 35 year old Dirk without a doubt. Dirk's last 2 seasons have been a clear drop off following his championship season, and Dirk's never been a good defender anyhow. Small forward is the premier position of the NBA right now. Without a top-tier small forward (either in defense or all-around play), you can't field a championship-contending teamQuote:

Stupid question, Kawhi plays on both ends

All right. Since almost no one thinks this is a good thought-trade (myself included), let's change the subject a little bit: Who on the team would be worth trading for Dirk. Let's ignore salary for now and any other practical barrier to the trades and just focus on the players.
Would you trade Splitter for Dirk? Green for Dirk? Ginobili? Diaw? I think most of use would trade the non-rotation players, so just leave them out.
These type of threads are great for the jpegs and gifs :tu
lol homer Spurs fans...Dirk is a super-star....even at his age now.....leader who led team to championship. Safe to say Kawhi will never do that...he's a role player nothing more. Dallas would never do that trade. Get real people
:elephant
lol no we should trade kawhi and for dirk and all their guards.
Umm, Dirk WAS a super-star, Kawhi is a super-star in the making. He made LeBron work his butt off for anything he got, Kawhi is and will be more than a role-player.Quote:

We still ahve two good SG's in Belinelli and Ginobili, so we could afford that. Splitter, no, even though Spliter sucked, he has room to grow and he is a C, which we need. So, really, the only starter I think the Spurs could afford to lose for Dirk is Green. On no planet is trading Kawhi for Dirk even close to being a good idea.Quote:

Dirk + 9 million SF > Kawhi + Tiago
I don't think you're taking into account that Dirk is basically a year younger than Duncan, and there's no guarantee he'd be healthy. Hedging title hopes on three or more 35+ year old vets (even former MVPs) seems incredibly risky. I like Dirk's game, obviously, but based on last year his career is pretty close to over. I don't think he's more valuable than Kawhi anymore.Quote:

what about kobe once he proves he is healthy
:tu Really digin Kawhis new hairstyle.
Wonder why the Mods actually let these threads keep going....please delete this B.S
It's cool to see Kawhi dress like that. Dresses like me lol. Love the new cut as well.
Someone who is 35 vs 22 years old. Why did you even start this thread.
I lol'dQuote:
