Of course it does.
Spurs have tried to reel Kawhi back in countless of times all season and Kawhis insubordination towards Pop & the Spurs have turned the Spurs the opposite way.
It's likely past fixable at this point.
Very small glimmer of hope. Emphasize very.
Of course it does.
Kawhi for Porzingis
Oh, you mean Bryn ing Forbes?
I really hope he is gone next season
Porz did his acl in February. Add 9 to 12 months recovering. He won't be back Until 2019.
Kawhitter misses entire seasons with mysterious “injuries” that are nowhere near as serious tbh.
spur beat writers showing once again how clueless they are to the state of the actual NBA![]()
Before the draft too, assuming they get some high picks.
Watching the Sixers and Celtics game right now. I would be okay with the Spurs trading Kawhi & Mills to the Celtics for Tatum, Brown, Rozier, and their pick. To me the playoffs show what kind of player you are. Tatum and Rozier are playing great for being so young in these playoffs. If it was the regular season I wouldn't be so high on them, but these are the playoffs.
No way Celtics let all that go. We’ll be lucky to net one of Brown or Rozier and the pick. Tatum playing as well as he is hurt spurs chances of landing him for Kawhi.
If I’m Boston I stand pat. No way I’m trading either of those guys (Brown/Tatum) with them being on rookie contracts. Their team could easily beat Golden State with all their weapons, not to mention the best coach right now. Gotta hand it to Boston...they’ve made all the right moves since Ainge has been in the front office. Their team is stacked.
Right now it looks like; Irving and Hayward for Kawhi and Patty![]()
At this point Drunkford is lucky to get Rozier and Morris....
Gotta give it to Ainge. He's built a of a franchise.
I'm only talking a worst case scenario where no one offers anything of value because he scares everyone off. I doubt it happens since I figure the Spurs could make a trade like Leonard for Kemba Walker, as Jordan could probably get Uncle Dennis a better shoe deal to leech off of. And I don't think Jordan would be scared of losing him as a free agent.
But answer this question: do you think Kawhi would hold out for a second season?
Back to the trade deadline talk: The Spurs could easily trade Leonard for Kuzma + Deng + $3 million at the deadline. You think the Lakers are saying no to that? By then the Lakers will have paid about 70% of Deng's 2018-19 contract and the Spurs would have a valuable $18 million expiring contract for summer 2019. Add in the $3 million they can ask the Lakers to send and the Spurs are on the hook for around $2.5 million of Deng's 2018-19 salary. I'm only bringing this scenario if the Lakers think they only have to offer Kuzma and their pick to get the deal done this summer.
Boston only has a good pick if the pick they got from the Sixers who got it from the Lakers lands at #2 or #3, otherwise they don't get that pick. Odds are pretty low of that since the Lakers had the 10th worst record in the league I think.
Tatum, Brown, and a first is like 50 cents on the dollar for Leonard, and it's doubtful they'll get that much.
Danny Ainge would have to be insane to give up any of Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown for a player who's leg probably won't hold up over a long stretch for the rest of his career.
After what those two have done in these playoffs, the Spurs won't be sniffing either player.

Hey since you know lmao prognosis there DR. could you.......
For this to be valid, you would have to actually believe that he's damaged goods. I don't. I also believe that Ainge would give up one or both to keep Kawhi out of Philly. The Sixers become a mortal threat with the addition of an All NBA wing.
That’s why I think if Kawhi is available they will go strong after Kawhi
1- Ainge would NEVER give up Tatum or Brown for Kawhi
2- Spurs is about to become the joke of the championship
Exactly. They have two young players who may or may not get better, advance to All Star status, or maybe more. They also have Kyrie and Gordon combing back next year, both already All Stars, and in Kyrie's case, All NBA. They feed at the trough first. The youngsters will have to go back further in line. They may not like that. At least one of them will have to come off the bench. IF one of them does explode into s om, then they have an already burgeoning payroll, and maybe their own SuperMax headache on the horizon.
