Love has positive value, probably more than LMA. Would make more sense to ship Love to Phoenix and send back some of whatever he gets to Cleveland.
Mills isn't a realistic piece to any trade to Cleveland right now, though.
So you wouldn't trade LA, who is going to be out of the team next off-season anyway?
Gut the roster? Outside of Leonard, thed Spurs have nothing. Kylie isn't eligible for free agency until 2019 so the Spurs have a couple of years to play around with to see how he'd fit. Not many elite players are going to shun the big city and bright lights to play for a small market team like the Spurs in order to win a championship. The Spurs have to take what they can get. He can also help recruit a third star to S.A. because I have no confidence Leonard will ever open his mouth.
Cavaliers would have to be interested in one of Warren, Bender or Chriss, as well as one of White or Spurs '18 1st.
Suns would have to be interested in Murray and one of White or Spurs '18 1st.
Spurs should do whichever machination in a second (especially considering they could re-coup a 1st in a Mills trade when Parker returns), but this would really decimate the front line.
People need to decide if LMA opting in or opting out is supposed to be the worst thing in the world. I can't keep it straight what I'm supposed to be scared of. No, I'm not keen to trade Green, LMA and the future prospects for Irving. The team will likely not be better next year and they'll either have one more year of Irving (which they may have with LMA anyway), or they'll have more but be paying Irving a new max deal.So you wouldn't trade LA, who is going to be out of the team next off-season anyway?
Maybe... Frankly, Kyrie as a number 1 option (as long as he didn't go all Harden/Westbrook) would be very exciting. It would help Kawhi's overall game and the team as a whole. It is much easier to have a guard leading the offense. As a number of posters have commented over the last few seasons, a SF-centric offense is a little more awkward. Kawhi's handles are plenty good, and they have steadily improved, but isn't the same as having a good PG running the offense.
Of course Kawhi might have a more difficult time earning MVP (for those who are concerned about such things).
Houston totally lost two games in a row to "nothing".
I haven't checked in five minutes, has the trade happened yet? Thx.
Pretty much.
Kyrie chose SAS after Manu agreed to another season tbh.
Wow a three team trade LMA to Suns, Irving to Spurs, Bledsoe to Cavs make sense. Too bad we draft and signed all those guards.
Having Aldridge on the team is the worst thing. He needs to get the out. If he opts out next season without the Spurs getting anything is fine. Him getting trade for Irving is even better.
And yeah, Irving would comand the max, but paying a couple max contracts is what any contender needs to do if they want to fight for championships, tbh.
Porker+2fatheads. Do it RC.
"hes a 4 time champion and FMVP"... -RC
If he wants too much then no. He's vastly overrated and therefore vastly overvalued.
overrated player. i'm not interested.
If Kryie is saying he wants to come to the spurs....it better be the cavs front office that doesnt cooperate....anything else would be RC's cheap ass.
Yeah, because having LMA on the team has been so hampering to the Spurs...
No, paying Irving so much along with Kawhi isn't some obvious point. Do you actually think Kyrie, Kawhi and min deals is likely to do better than SA has recently? I can't think of any way to argue that. Only way it makes is if the Spurs use cap space on a guy like Cousins, but then that's cap . Depending on the price, go for it and hope it works out. But either they need to keep a strong roster this year or keep future prospects. They can't lose both.
Hes the dumbest pg in the league bar none. Has no loyalty. Blames others. Great idea, sign him, then spurs could have the pg version of lma
Lma needs to be used for salary purposes. Unless Parker goes. Mills can't get traded yet. Same as Gasol and Gay. And we need bigs.
Kyrie is under team control for at least two more seasons. In that time, something else could open up and change everything. Outside of Leonard, there isn't a single player on this roster that can't be replaced.
He's under control for only one more July. They aren't replacing their depth at this point. Kyrie/Kawhi/LMA can win a le. Kyrie/Kawhi can't.
New York is as good as LA business wise. He would also be paired with one of the most exciting young players in porzingus. Is take that over post lebron Cleveland in a heartbeat.
Kylie is an all-star that would make this team better. Losing our best big is not great, but it seems to be the only salary that would match. If LMA really is disgruntled being here, which neither he or the Sours have said, this might go down. It's all over the radio with people saying he wants to come here.
