Young: sources tell @ExpressNews that Kawhi Leonard wants to be traded from Spurs

[Mugen]

In a hypothetical deal, they’d be taking Patty back. The Lakers are going to need Guards/shooters if they pair Lebron and Kawhi. So Kawhi, Danny, & Patty for Ingram, Kuzma, Ball, & 2 1st Round picks (or something along those lines) would be ideal.

Dont see the Lakers offering all that though so I don’t think a deal happens. If PATFO take less than that, they’re getting fleeced.

Why the would we include Danny then? He's valuable enough to get another asset outside of the Lakers deal.

Taking Ball back would be horrendous, Lakers should absolutely flip his ass for a 1st rounder to include in a deal. Spurs should not take on that risk and hassle at all.

Unless those picks are unprotected and from teams projected to be lousy, I wouldn't care for that much. Kuzma and Ball - meh (plus Daddy Ball) and Ingram still on potential. I'd pass.

We may lose Kawhi but I'm going to laugh so hard if all the Lakers get is a damaged Boogie Cousins and their hopes for a fruitful offseason blows up in their face.

Considering how few people buy tickets and even fewer show up to the games to buy concessions/merch/parking ... If they trade Leonard to LA they might as well move to Seattle next year

The few remaining hardcore 5-10,000 fans will be so pissed that nobody will buy tickets, especially if Manu retires

Seriously, Kawhi trade might hurt the valuation of the franchise by tens of millions

Maybe the Spurs should take Lonzo then

He's really bad at basketball, but he would sell tickets..

[ducks]

and who cares?

This is a stale point, they've been quite good selling, and they keep money whether you show or not!

Add to that favorable lease terms and your comment is now dumb as

[objective]

Ingram and Kuzma are such a joke

Firsts from the end of the round are equal crap

[exstatic]

Two high lottery picks, Ingram, Hart, and they take back a ty contract like Patty.

If they come to the table with that, then the Spurs should listen.

They'll have to dump Ball, Kuz, and Randle to get those picks so good luck to them. But you don't settle for anything less.

How are they going to get high lottery picks for those players?

[r0drig0lac]

The dude is still progressing and when he puts some more muscle on then I feel like he’ll be a good player. But people here are trashing on him for no reason, imo. They talk about our development of players but then act like we wouldn’t be able to develop him into a really good player. His only major problem is injuries (which is a big concern) but with muscle that injury concern goes down a bit.

Ingram will be a better player than Brown, Tatum and other overrated

[spurs10]

Lol. This re s uncle is going to cost him 2 years of playing time and 80 million dollars

My thoughts exactly, plus he will be suspended and/or sued for anther $20 million. So Uncle Dennis will cost him two years of not playing and $100 million. Great management! Did he get fired from his bank for moves like these.

Yea like I stated before, Ball would be moved to another team for a lottery pick, young player, or both. Fultz would be ideal, but not sure Philly wants Lonzo, despite rumors they were willing to move Fultz during the draft. Either way, Ingram, Kuzma, & Fultz (or another young player or lottery pick) + them taking Patty off our hands is probably the most you’re going to get for Kawhi at this point. Don’t see Boston offering up Tatum at any point so it’s either that or Philly’s package offer, whatever that may be.

[Mugen]

I'll believe the Kawhi being "adamant" about not being with the Spurs anymore when it's reported by mouthpiece Jabari tbh.

[exstatic]

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).

Bret Brown would not want any part of BBB any more than Pop would.

Pretty sure Uncle dennis ran Enron. Or Neverland Ranch. Can't remember which.

he won’t. he’s not worth watching and people in san antonio are cheap as it is.

Also the Lakers desperation drivees down lonzos price. They be lucky to get a high second

[BatManu20]

Agreed, which is why I said it’s not going to happen.

[exstatic]

If you can get all 3 of Ingram, Kuzma, and Lonzo in a deal for Kawhi, you do it. Plenty of teams out there that would trade for him and you’d net another asset, whether it be a young player, a lottery pick, or both.

Garbage. I'd rather take Jaylen, and shake Boston down for one or both of those picks, and I don't even like Jaylen that much.

[vander]

Lol. This re s uncle is going to cost him 2 years of playing time and 80 million dollars

the 80 mill that people are throwing around, it that the difference between an extension and FA contract? or the difference between supermax and regular max extension?

"on to the next one" LMAO

my god

[gambit1990]

i’m just hoping lebron and manu go to philly at this point

[BatManu20]

Lol no. There are plenty of the teams out there that would trade a first round pick for Lonzo at least, despite his moronic father. Guaranteed.

[cool cat]

How much does that cost them?
