That's my issue with the Lakers package. It's Ingram and a bunch of garbage.
Fultz has a big issue, but when he played last year he flashed some high quality NBA skills, imo. Add that with saric, possibly smith and a draft pick and I feel ok.
At one point, one tends to think Lebron is also pushing his own agenda. He could join the Spurs to play with Kiwi in the Spurs but he doesn't want to.
If Kiwi had a personality and wasn't injured he could have instead recruited Lebron to join him in the Spurs. As it is, he doesn't have a personality and was injured all season. It's easier for him to be the recruited than to recruit players.
People dismiss that injury like it's nothing, but it was real. He was barely able to climb some plane stairs back in October and then missed 73 games and all playoffs while being under the care of his own specialists. Even if there was an aspect that was a medical holdout, the injury itself wasn't/isn't fake.

Its whether they can have any meaningful discussion to work out differences. Read a lot about Pop's comments and not support Kwahi ... all of this happened before Pop ever said a word about his camp, etc. And his answers were just answers "ask his camp". Nothing deragatory about them. Spurs weren't behind the wheel at that point. They weren't even before the leak happened in January.
And no rush to trade him now just to trade him .... Doesn't help us any to do it now. Anything we get in return either puts us into lottery or more likely stuck as being a play off team without the ability to advance.
Players rule this league and our best chance for success is with Kwahi, like it or not.
I'd love it if Kawhi, LeBron, and PG all stay, and the Lakers are forced to sign Cousins as their big acquisition over the next 2 summers.
Boston & Philly hav made formal offers!!!!
How do you know? What were the offers (if public)?
I find it hard to believe that George wouldn't go there, he seemed like the biggest lock..
Would ESPN really agree to do ent the Free Agency of a 3rd-tier star if he was just going to remain in OKC?![]()
assuming he's referencing the ESPN article
They ndta look Kawhi in the eye & say "we hav this offer & this offer, do u really want out? Tell us to our face so we know if we should consider any of these offers!"
Pop should get Timmy to call the Lakers and tell them to get bent.
Before the deadline is the time to do the deal, have them all bid against each other.
You could almost taste the desperation coming from Magic and the Lakers![]()
If I'm the Spurs I don't run anything by Kawhi or his group. I make the trade to whoever benefits the Spurs the most. Let them find out through the media or Twitter
Trade Kawhi and Patty for Ingram, Kuzma, Ball, & 1st Round pick. Then offer Ball and that 1st to Philly for Fultz, a guy they were reportedly looking to trade to move into the Top 5 of this year’s draft.
You net Ingram, Kuzma, and Fultz for Kawhi while getting rid of Mills’ contract. Bada Bing bada boom. (Never happening, but I wouldn’t complain).
Or Spurstalk.![]()
If they're going to trade with Magic at least make him give up six months of his retrovirals
Amazing... the Spurs broke up LeBron’s super-team in Miami, and now it looks like they’re breaking up LeBron’s super-team in L.A. before it even forms.
Poor Magic. Did he really think he was going to get one over on Gregg Popovich?
I'd rather have the Lakers trade Lonzo on their own before taking that risk..
I hope Pop is in a good place, right now..
The attacks are going to come harder, the Spurs are going to need him to present a strong anti-Trump rant, it'll put ESPN and the rest of the NBA media in a difficult position, they won't be able to stay mad at him..
Hopefully Boston feels confident that if they do trade for Leonard, they can retain him by showing him a good year. In the process, they can screw over the Lakers and the Sixers.
So Boston better start talking by giving up Tatum. It's Ainge vs Magic right now.
