Draft picks and maybe a star. Could see Sacramento biting, giving the Spurs their pick this season (Top 3) and WCS.Quote:

What data do you have to support this claim that a top 5 player can only fetch “second rate players” and what do you consider to be such?Quote:

It wasn't a good sign when Tony came back from his injury before Kawhi. 35 years old and a ton of mileage, snapped his hamstring right off the bone, had to get it stapled or nailed back down. He's playing sooner than Kawhi and has no minutes restrictions right now other than what age and prudence require.Quote:

I would be down with getting a top 3 pick for him but even that would be difficult since Kawhi only has 1 year left on his contract. Very few teams would be stupid enough to trade valuable assets for him knowing that he has only 1 year left on his contract unless he was willing to agree to sign an extension.Quote:

Again name me some players that are equal value that the Spurs could get for Kawhi? You never going to get equal value for a superstar like Kawhi. I define second rate players as guys who are not all-stars.Quote:

Not enough HGH apparently.
I think it’s officially now ok to hit the panic button or jump off the cliff....
Funny thing is tho I dunno if there’s anybody left to jump with
The quote of "sooner rather than later" was in November, not training camp. he then returned a few weeks later. Did i miss something or do people keep exaggerating with the sooner than later comment and thinking it's from before the season?Quote:

On December 4th- from Kawhi- Kawhi Leonard is feeling healthy and will return "soon" from a quadriceps injury that has kept him out all season, but the Spurs All-Star forward does not have a target date for his debut."I feel good, soon to come (and) be able to play on the floor," Leonard said of his return. "It's been a long wait, but I'm feeling pretty healthy right now."
Kawhi returned on December 12th.
Meh...nothing burger, tbh. He'll be fine, will comeback in late March, get into shape and we're this year's 1st round opponent "no one wants to play" and everyone will be making their typical posts to cover their hedges.
:lol I have to admit that is funny. For me I'm ok since it drove me nuts all year of how Kawhi was in and out of the lineup. I'm hoping now that the Spurs are not trying to win the title this year that Pop will stop with the rest and play guys heavy minutes.Quote:

Literally the entire mantra from the beginning of camp until he eventually came back was that his injury was short-term. The fact he's still dealing with it and that PATFO have been vague with the details (even with how secretive they generally are) is shady enough. If you wanna keep trusting in their words, by all means. At this point I'm operating under the assumption he won't be back this year (nor should he).Quote:
