Only way I could see it is if OKC trades Adams and they need a backup five. Otherwise, it makes no sense to acquire Splitter. I'm sure they'd love Mills though.
The thunder? Splitter and the 26th could get it done. But to rivals. That's not typically how we do business.
Actually last i read, they were looking to salary dump Perry Jones, Jeremy Lamb, and some other guy for a pick, so maybe that could be involved.
I'm not sure if I believe Alex but it would't surprise me if they got a call. Not everyone has the same work ethics as we do.

He's pretty reputable from what i've seen. Not Woj level of course.
Kennedy is a hack.
90% of the time he tweets right after reputable sources have already put the info out there. I'm banned from his tweeter for calling him on it.
Wait till WOJ or someone else reports it to believe it.
Didn't you have a trade scenario where the Spurs traded for ATLs 15th? (Can't seem to find) What would that look like with OKCs 14th?
Would make sense if they did. They have Kanter and McGary now. Wouldn't that be funny if they wanted Boris. Would make some sense too, cause he is one of our advantages over them. Losing Bobo for the 14th would make us weaker short term vs small ball teams.
He called TJ Ford to the Spurs iirc but he usually isn't the best source.
I could see them using Kanter and Augustin and lamb as trade baits. I can't see them letting go of Adams though.
I wanted 15 for Splitter straight up. Maybe Mills to them as well if they also sent back Tavarres. For OKC, I'd do Splitter and 26 for 14 and Jones.
We should just draft an Anderson every year until one of them turns out be any good.
Kanter is the low post scoring threat they have severely lacked and they have Ibaka to stand by him and protect the rim. It's a pretty good pairing. IMO. Adams is a pretty good center, but more of a luxury at this point with them having Mitch McGary.
Not going to happen
If they get the 14th pick I hope they pick Portis. I think he is this year's Kawhi. He is going to have a long productive NBA career.
Splitter and Ibaka on defense
Hmmm, Spurs got Kawhi with the 15th pick.
There is a legit chance Willie Cauley-Stein might be around at 14
Doubt it unless his foot injury rumors start growing
who the is alex kennedy?
I suspect something like, Rockets trade Sergio Llull and a 2nd round pick for our 26th. The Spurs then flip Llull and maybe a future first rounder to OKC. Since Llull might be viewed as the best PG talent available at 14 anyways, if that's what OKC wants to address. Idk, just wouldn't want them to improve so much, and if Splitter gets healthy and they get him, that defense would be hard to overcome.
That's exactly what I would count on...
Cauley-Stein's Foot Giving Lottery Teams Pause
"Five separate NBA teams we spoke with all indicated varying degrees of concern after consulting with their team doctors this week, with some saying it may cost the Kentucky big man a few spots on draft night... ...Even beyond any injury concerns, a more pressing issue that Cauley-Stein is dealing with is the apparent lack of need for a player with his skill-set in the 7-10 range, should he fall past Orlando or Sacramento at 5 or 6."
I would trade up for Willie Cauley-Stein. Anyone else?
Alex Kenn isn't as popular as most and isn't as plugged in, but I wouldn't dismiss him as completely out of the loop IMO.
I wonder if Boris to OKC is a thing? I can see Boris/Patty/#26 for #14. Clears up the cap space issues and gets Spurs a lottery pick. I would hate to see Tiago or Boris on OKC though.
I'd snatch him up in a heartbeat. He doesn't need to be anything but a defensive stud
If true, this would knock Willie out of spot 11
