Is this financially possible?
Windhorst on Outside the Lines right now saying that the feeling he’s getting from sources is that the Spurs are still in no rush to deal Kawhi, despite the Lakers wanting to get something done soon. Says the pressure is on the Lakers since they want Lebron ASAP.
He said the Spurs would still much rather deal Kawhi to BOS but that Ainge is being a stiff-ass right now. Said teams like BOS and PHI think they’ll have more leverage if they wait a week, seeing what happens the first few days of FA. Said it’s going to take a “remarkable offer” for the Spurs to trade Kawhi to the Lakers and also said that the Spurs still believe they might be able to salvage the relationship with Kawhi, however bleak that may seem right now.
Nothing we don’t know. Just more of the same repe ive, speculative bull . But this directly contradicts Stein’s report that the Spurs are “ready to move on” from Kawhi ASAP. And ‘round and ‘round we go. July 1st can’t get here soon enough.

If they make the trade, that shows they have to get something. And for the traded players, that means they have to be kept no matter the cost, otherwise it would be like getting nothing for Kawhi
That's how average players like Gallinari, Chandler, Vucevic, etc all get big contracts from their new teams.
The loser in the trade has to save face and overpay to keep the talent acquired.
You need to use tweet tags, not twitter tags
With a sign and trade yes, but pop hurt kawhis feelings
it, Lebron. Just sign with us for a year. 1 guaranteed and 1 player option. Do it.
This is why I think things are quiet on the Spurs Front right now. I really think they are trying to repair the relationship with Kawhi.
Yeah, forgot about that for a sec trying to keep up with all of these reports
Ingram, Kuzma, Wagner, 1st+ cap space
Do it
we say it the first time
Zach Lowe on The Jump: The package that the Lakers and Spurs would consider "the line" is Ingram, Kuzma, and two first round picks. More and it's too much for the Lakers, but less and it's not enough for San Antonio.
Painfully obvious: moving on from Kawhi costs HIM more money, AND busts up the Laker super team. You waste a couple of years of rebuilding/retooling evaluating LAs overrated youngsters, instead of just getting on with it. None of them will ever be worth building a team around, so why even trade for them?
In the article Zach Lowe dropped about a week ago, he mentioned that Boston would prefer a S&T involving Kawhi for Smart and the Kings and Grizzlies picks.
If that is the case, then it would depend on whether the Spurs like Smart, how much and long does his contract run and whether it is actually both picks (which would probably end up being in the top 5 and the 10-14 range)
There is obviously a huge fit issue to consider, he'd be a bench player and there isn't a rotation where he wouldn't be sharing the floor with another player that can't shoot (Murray, Parker, Anderson,) not to mention Spurs already have Parker, Murray, Green, White, Walker and Mills at guard with Manu potentially coming back.
Lets try this again.
So is Pop still gonna meet with Lebron? Convince him to do a 1 plus 1 deal.. I mean Kawhi is going to be here until we don't want him to be.
Fischer: San Antonio has informed teams its preferred target in any Leonard trade is the Celtics' Jayson Tatum, sources say. It’s widely believed in league circles that Boston is more likely to propose a deal centered around Kyrie Irving and future picks.
That is worse than the Magic is pedaling.
Eh. The Spurs are in the position of strength. Every day that goes by without a deal, the pressure on the Lakers increases.
The longer this drags on, the better for SA, though it weakens their position with Boston and Philly.
The hope to still salvage the relationship... I was buying it... maybe there is just a lot of lies spread from Lakers about Kiwi not wanting to step on the locker room and him being determined to leave, to push the Spurs, the fans, etc. It may just be a lie.
I used to believe he wouldn't be traded... but I am not sure anymore and I think there is a real possibility that Kiwi really is that stubborn that he can't be convinced.
ing gross.
I've been saying that he wants the max offer. Spurs aren't willing to offer it yet. They want to know how healthy he really is. The max offer is the only thing that can mend this relationship. Whether the Spurs offer it or whether his camp backs off of it somehow or someway
