I'd have to look at their roster then. If they wanna give the Spurs a pick to take on one of their contracts I'd do it.
Lakers: DePression
Kings: Kuzma
Spurs: KCP, bad Kings contract, two 1sts
I'd do that.
Bring Kuz, whatever, we're gonna tank anyway, hopefully, pls. He's the perfect tank commander on and of the court

So for Kawhi, arguably a Top 25 All Time Talent….. we effectively get Jakob Poetl and Keldon Johnson in return long term.
I love me some Keldon but my goodness the front office should be fired, dunked in cold water, and made to eat Arby’s for a year straight as punishment for complete inep ude and failure.
Nephew deserves blame too for purposely tanking his own trade value...
I mean, if Toronto don't win that le, it's a failure for them. And the clippers George trade appears a failure for them now.
Wrong. The Spurs allowed them to disguise salary dumping DeRozan and put them a Durant or Curry injury (and they were due) away from a le . . . all for the cost of precisely zero pieces that would sting long term.
I suspect it'd have to be Hield as the "bad Kings contract", but even then I'm skeptical they'd attach 9 just to move him. Spurs could attempt to balance it with Walker IV, but Hield isn't Spurs material, wouldn't be easy to reroute and they're too cheap, gun shy and shortsighted to pull of something like this. Just the thought of that much movement would probably make them queasy.

You’re missing the point. Yeah they screwed up with the initial return in the best they could get was Derozan. But don’t screw up the next redemption moment by getting peanuts for Derozan.
They botched Kawhi
They botched Aldridge
They botching Derozan
Get some Top 10 picks out of that. This is mindblowingly bad
You have Kawhi and Aldridge… and looking to get some value for losing them? You should be getting 3 Top 10 picks combined at the absolute bare minimum for handling those 2 players
Targeting sexton should be spurs priority. He fits with Murray and Johnson.
You're forgetting we also threw in Danny Green too.
Ok, you're crazy...
Deng, Kuzma (negative contract), a first & two seconds. Does that work? DD gets more money. Lakers get off Kuzma & Deng's salary.
Why? I don't give a if he signs there for three dollars per year and wins a championship...I just want home gone
that . Four pieces of trash and a pick? No thanks.
That's wouldn't be bad actually. Only one roster spot (Kuz), a first and a couple of seconds, and Deng's roster charge expires after next year. And we could further try and move Kuzma if we don't want him.
But I don't think it works, because I don't believe you can trade a stretched contract (Deng)...
Meh Spurs could probably get a first cheaper somewhere else than having to take two garbage players.
Deng was waived to offer Leonard a max two offseasons ago.
If DDR is willing to take that pay cut as rumored, Kuz and Gasol is probably about 15M which feels right for ST purposes. Gasol is only 2M next year, his last, who can be bought out later in the year.
So effectively 22/Kuz for DDR. I do that.
Good, get the literal out. I've been waiting almost three years, to watch your worthless ass leave. Now go!
I'd rather let Derozan leave for free. Kuzma is a terrible basketball player. We've had enough over hyped trash on this team.
Why is kuzma a terrible player?
DeMar was never capable of being the main guy on the team but with Lakers he would likely be a much better fit with an aging LeBron alongside Anthony Davis. It doesn't put Lakers over the top but it makes them a little better and it likely won't be the only move they make. Spurs are fools if they just let the player they traded Kawhi for walk. As for Kuzma, draft pick. Trade Kuzma for a draft pick or keep him.
He'd be a terrible fit. He can't play off the ball and is a nonexistent three-point shooter, not to mention he's one of the worst defenders in the league. All the more reason to want the Lakers to acquire him.
Deng? WTF. This trade couldn’t even be made in 2k lol
This actually is my opinion of DDRs value; a sad reality, but why dance with the devil and for so little in return?
