I'm in the "just get this over with" camp.
There's gotta be at least one dumb front office that'll blink into getting their face blown off.
Spurs might include Patty in a Kawhi trade so smart to stay on good terms.

He was reporting as someone in the know that everything had been worked out and that James would opt in so the Cavs would trade him to the Lakers by the 29th. When I pointed out the Cavs would have to take something like $27 million back in salary with none of the deals allowed to be expirings for that trade to be legal under the CBA and asked why the Cavs would want to pay bare minimum $50 million in extra payroll plus repeaters luxury tax plus loss of the payout from luxury tax paying teams to be in the lottery went and hid and kept ducking my questions. The Cavs could still do a sign and trade like that in the next couple of weeks if they could find someone to take George Hill's salary or another large salary dump like that so it wouldn't cost them a ridiculous amount of money. My issue with his claim was that it would get done by today when the Lakers would have no cap room. They don't get any cap room until the day free agents can officially sign, so they couldn't absorb any of LeBron's contract before then.
Wouldn't be surprised with our logjam of guards. I'd much rather move Pau though.
It's funny watching you change the subject after saying something stupid.Your inability to cope with stress is amusing.
Ainge is saying the right things, but he knows a player like Kawhi will push them to the Finals. If he stays out it may also push them to the Finals, but how do you manage all the minutes? Kyrie, Smart, and Rozier are one too many.
If it was Philly I'd want Fultz/Saric/Smith and something else with it, and send Patty with Kawhi.
both said what pop ordered them to
you trade eventually one of them
you try to trade for your biggest weakness starting unit or trade for a guy that can be happy to be the leader off bench
championship teams have a player like manu 2015 that is the leader of the bench
yup. pretty much.
76ers package for Kawhi is beyond overrated. While that Miami pick is unprotected it's a 2021 pick, too many unknowns with that. And Saric is a very flawed player in today's league as Boston showed.
Add in some picks and get it done, not the biggest Covington fan but he makes the salaries work.
Ingram is 21 ...Brandon Ingram killing a Lakers team with Leonard on it
KL is 27 the advantage of course favors KL for the next 3-5 after that BI will be same age KL is now ...
Covington is good. He is overpaid. I don't want part of that if I'm the Spurs.
But a point was made.
You know, you're right. Ingram is a superstar. The Lakers should keep him and not trade for Kawhi.
Only thing I like about Covington is he's a big 3, other than that he looked worse than washed up Danny Green.
You know, you're right. Ingram is a superstar. The Lakers should keep him and not trade for Kawhi.
No I don't think he is a superstar and and I don't think he will ever be at KL's level pre-injury.You know, you're right. Ingram is a superstar. The Lakers should keep him and not trade for Kawhi.
Not many recent players ever have been, don't be dense.
And yes I would keep BI ... if we are assured KL will still come next summer or if Spurs would take Kuz/Randle/Hart and two first rounders Unprotected or even if we are assured some other star instead of KL.
KL also has a some injury risk too.
True, but Shaq couldn't guard a chair in that series. He scored, but his defense let us down. Phil designed the D to funnel into Shaq. He was too fat an immobile to guard the yard and it cost the Lakers another rangPERIOD.
Can you blame Kobe? Say what you want. - Kobe worked his ass off. Every summer he put in work tryna improve his game. Shaq relied on his God-given abilities. He even would get in shape or rehab "on company time" which I'm sure pissed Kobe off. Couple that with him chiding Kobe thru his media buddies, Kobe was right to evict him.
History shows Dr. Buss sided with the right star. After they split: Kobe 2, Shaq 1.
Spurs can still pitch to LeBron playing with Kawhi come July 1st. I’m just saying...
My bad - I'm on ESTIt´s 9 a.m. in Texas right now
Edit: they just did after they read my post:
