We’d essentially be turning over our roster and changing philosophy on how we play if we get rid of the person the offense is centered around. Idk I think I’d be more excited with a young team that’s hungry rather than sending out the same crew plus kawhi with 219mil
I, too, would like that. But we will get more of last season's LMA-centric ball. Our only real hope is that seeing his reason for coming here (to win a championship) has evaporated, LMA demands a trade and sticks to his guns this time.
I'd trade him for the Suns pick and Booker if the salaries worked in a heartbeat. Out of the most realistic trades, I still like anything around Ingram and Kuzma, not including whatever trades we don't know about. But if those offers are on the table I think they have to think about it seriously even putting working with LA aside.
If we get rid of kawhi we get of Aldridge. Their would be no point in keeping him when he could net us nice young assets for his reasonable contract. It’ll for sure be interesting. But I’ve been saying if kawhi isn’t moved by tomorrow then I think he stays with spurs
We’d never get booker unless it was a sign and trade for kawhi and that’s not happening. But I personally love Ingram. He increased his number to 16pp 5rpg 4 apg. And he’s only 20 on his rookie contract. If you could get him kuzma and a high pick I’d take it. Ingram has shown improvement and I think is worth the gamble. Many here thought kawhi wasn’t worth the gamble and he turned out to be a of a player. I think the spurs could work wonders on him
I would do it for Bamba.
I can't remember where I initially found the link, but it was from Russell Rush, of 96.1 NOW, on April 6th. The link now says "uh oh, that page is unavailable".
Either way, this is a player who relatively speaking, hasn't made that much money yet, just missed damn near a full season with a supposed injury and isn't marketable. That's ample reason to think he'd want the $79M he'd otherwise miss out on.
Spurs should be doing everything in their power to attempt to repair this enough to get him signed, because the second they do, the leverage pendulum swings in their direction. If they aren't able to truly reconcile over the next year, they'd have control of the process and be able to command max value in a trade.

The point is hes only worth what someone will pay. None of those teams giving up those players then kl isnt worth more than they are.
Its the same issue w pau. Hes supposedly worth his contract bc sa paid him... not that difficult
Look I don’t know if Kawhi is worth the supermax. I think no. But people talking like he isn’t a top 5 NBA player are funny. All these writers saying Kawhi isn’t worth even the meager asking prices are hilarious. I mean if you think he’s a quitter, ok. But no ones questioning the talent.
What did he ever do to lead sa to a ring.... i will wait
Uh the finals MVP in 2014.
You can't allow the fact that he quit on the Spurs to cloud your judgement. If he was coming off a season similar to his 16-17 season you wouldn't even entertain the thought of trading him for any of those players except maybe Giannis and even that wouldn't be a no-brainer. There's a mul ude of reasons why those teams wouldn't trade those guys for Kawhi (age, sentimental reasons, his willingness to commit long-term, etc) but none of them have to do with him being inferior.
And Booker shouldn't even be in the same sentence, Don is just a homer Suns fan.
Lol joking right, 3 other players had better stats than he did
But he didnt, so hes not worth that. Dont let his 1617 season cloud your judgment
Kawhi would probably be worth the supermax in a big market. Whether he is on the "Spurs payroll" is questionable. I think the supermax is ironically the bane of small markets.
That Cleveland deal is ing horrible. Would rather have the 12,13 and Harris by a long shot over the Cleveland deal and I don't even want that deal.
Default MVP for his "coming out" on the big stage. We have all seen plenty of games/series (especially in football) where there were several good candidates and none really stood out, but one guy HAS to get the MVP. You could basically have put their names in a hat and pulled one out. That was 2014.
I don't want to drag this out. I'm cool with the Clippers deal or some other deal that nets a pick higher than 8.
If Kawhi would commit long term, and shows 100% healthy during the season, heck all of those teams would trade for him. But not before, nope.
If you don't like your prospects at 12, 13 and 18 you might package a couple and move up. Or package one with Mills and and get an asset, and package another with Pau and get another. Three firsts give you a lot of potential flexibility.
Tahts f’n funny
Agreed. no to the CLE deal. Clippers offer still seems the best so far, and it's not even a good one. Unless the Lakers end up offering a King's ransom, I just don't see PATFO trading Kawhi to the enemy. Might have to settle for Jerry West's offer. Maybe get him to take on Patty's contract and give us Lou Williams too.
What is this Kawhi would have to waive his trade kicker bull Zach Lowe mentions?
