I could see a trade to Hornets for Kemba an Batum
I heard a lot of talking heads mentioning teams that could possibly contact the Spurs to trade for Kiwi. People mention Boston with all their prospects and draft picks being the major contender. That prospect leaves me cold I don't want the Spurs to become the Celtics before they got Kyrie. Draft picks are a crap shoot. I see it this way Kiwi at his best is the 3rd best player in the league so I would make a list of the top 20 or so players in the league I would be determined to get one (or a couple of them). There are some you are not going to get because they are either untouchable or free agents (LBJ, Harden, Westbrook, Curry, PG) but everyone else would be on the table.
*KD, yea he is higher on the list than Kiwi, but I am not sure if KD isn't becoming the Wesbrick of the Dubs, incredibly talented but not the best for the team culture or beloved by the team's foundational player.
*The Brow he always sits atop the best player in 3-5 years category but hasn't been able to lead the Pels anywhere, is kind of redundant with Boogie (KL and Boogie would fit better than AD and Boogie and you can't trade Boogie), might be as unhappy there as Kiwi seemingly is in SA.
*Jimmy Butler to me the TPups would either have to add something or take the Pau or Patty contracts off our books for that to be a fair trade.
*Kyrie, in the NBA hierarchy Kiwi is above Kyrie so Ainge would listen. Kyrie might not be opposed since the Spurs not the Celtics were on his original list of teams to play for.
Then there are the all NBA types that while talented haven't been able to lead their teams to postseason success or in some cases even appearances:
John Wall, Giannis, Rudy Gobert, Porzingus or Kemba.
I just don't want a bag full of draft picks and guys would might be better in the future.

horrible trade.
I'd target something like John Wall and someone else off of Washington.
PATFO has done pretty well with the few lotto picks they've had, so I wouldn't be opposed to trading him for prospects and high draft pick(s). The Spurs would lose any player -> trade unless Kawhi will never be healthy again, which is possible. The lack of communication from Kawhi's "group" definitely should be a red flag going into FA. IF Kawhi isn't healthy why can't he just communicate that to the team, and sit courtside with his teammates?
Kawhi, Pau or Patty for Jaylen Brown, Hayward, and Kings 1st in 2019
replace Brown and Hayward with Kyrie and I am down. I want at least a player that has been All NBA at least once or has the potential to be that.
Picks >>>> all the injury prone players u guys are listing tbh
And if they trade him, it should be to the East
I still like him to the Lakers for Brandon Ingram, Julius Randle (contact extension), and their first rounder
Their first goes to Philly this year I think.
Any trade will suck for the Spurs. Just won't get equivalent value for Kawhi's known value. The best we can hope for is a draft pick that hits, kind of like Memphis got with Gasol as a throw in for the Pau Gasol trade.
I would much rather get a BOS/BKY like trade going (where you get a ton of picks) and let SA build on their own. They are the best drafting team in the league, need small salaries and can draft culture and talent better than anyone.
What’s up? What do you disagree with? Also, I’ve noticed you stopped @‘ing me so much now that SA is firmly back in the playoff race. Did you go on vacation or something?
If I had a choice, I'd want Anthony Davis. None of those other guys or packages interest me. Most of those guys aren't very good when comparing to a healthy Kawhi.
Lakers will be happy to make that trade.
my point is all fantasy GM's think they can nail the draft prospects but there is only one can't miss player per decade. I want an All NBA talent in return, now we still lose in that case because there are only two players I consider better than Kiwi, but someone close would be preferable to a prospect. AD or KD (despite his thin skin) would be what I would consider winning the trade. Kyrie, or Jimmy B (plus a draft pick), or Gobert (+ their super rookie) wouldn't be the worst thing but just a boat load of draft picks...meh.
That's called a good trade. Both sides happy
Stepping out on a limb here, cuz i normally wouldnt say this!! But as a knee jerk reaction this trade is utterly trash.. How can you trade a top 3-5 player in this league for not even a top 15 player in Ingram and not even a top 20 in PF... Come on! teams that trade their franchise players will never get equal value back in return.. If we base trade value off were KL is ranked he is a top 3-5 players, that means there are only 3-4 other players better than him.. So running the numbers you will not get equal value in return.
i would trade LK for AD or Greek Freak and 1 or 2 others.
Randle has been a consistent 20 & 10 guy for the last few months, and Ingram is averaging a very efficient 16ppg in his second year.
That would be a great return and a no brainer if a pick is involved.
Aldridge/Gasol
Randle/Fathead
Ingram/Gay
Mills/Ginobili
Murray/Parker
I think people forget that even though Kawhi was out the whole season we still doing pretty damn good with the guys we got. So if you can trade him and get good starter players and maybe a draft pick I think we could get back in the hunt.
If we did the above trade and get rid of For es and Pail and look at bringing over our stashed picks
1. Milutinov 7 footer screen setter dunker great hands
2. Hanga 6”7 - if we can’t hang on to green and loose Kawhi this is a no brainer
3. Dangubic- 6”8 - Dude sucked when he was picked but like Hanga has gotten a whole lot better. Very athletic loves to dunk and like Hanga can play great defense. I think he is shooting 40% from the 3
As far as Parker and Mills one has to go
good god
Ben Simmons
That would be awesome. Something like Kawhi for Wall, Porter and possibly a pick. But doubt they do it. Perhaps they do it if we throw in Murray
My god if we had Wall, Aldridge, some shooters like Green, Porter, Mills etc. We would instantly turn into one of the league's best offenses. Then just need some defensive specialists like Avery Bradley as a FA signing.
Randle is garbage
