Lakers fans are having a Kawhitus Interruptus right now.
The best part of the trade is not just getting anything valuable back, but sending his ass to Canada.

I'll disagree. Jonas has solid bball IQ and good post up ability. Also can take punishment. I'll put him on a similar level with Steven Adam's. Capella will suck in most non Dantoni systems. Porzingis will get killed in the post. He is just a tall wing. Love is a pf. Gobert is terrible. DeAndre Jordan is terrible. Cousins and KAT more talented but I wouldn't want them on my team.
i've never seen so much wrong with one post
and spurtacular posts here all the time
Find a third team to take on Patty deal. Toronto has no need for him.
That could he holding up the deal ( Patty to third team, or Spurs giving them Danny)

Hanging out with Jonathon Simmons.
So could it be that Kawhi was upset that Spurs didn't sign Simmons and got Gay, Gasol and Patty instead?
Is that why he practically didn't play at all last year?
Toronto can find that team. The Spurs aren't obligated to fix Toronto's roster distribution.
Orlando needs a PG
If a trade goes down, got to lose some dead weight.
No, but I think it played a small role in Kawhis unhappiness.
Kawhi & Sims were tight.
That's not the reason he sat out but I definitely think Kawhi wanted Simms and Dedmon back. Simmons and him are buddies.
That REALLY doesn't look like Simmons.
Anyway, it's only a good thing is Kawhi's in Vegas. Either he's talking to other teams or he's talking to RC.
Kawhis right. Its Sims.
Thats not how it works w three team deals. Its a collective effort to get the deal done. If the third team taking on Mills hinges on the deal, SA may have to help Toronto.
It's totally how it works in three-team deal. Toronto is trying to buy Leonard. It's up them to meet SA's price. It's like SAing SA has to find a third team to take Ball and Deng for LAL. Nope. That's the Lakers' job.
With his head down?
The guys i say suck, do really suck. The other guys are so different and bring different things to the table. Valucianas ish a traditional center with above average agility and skills. Doesn't jump out the gym or hit 3s. Just solid. Spurs would love to have him I'm sure over those other guys I posted. Capella is a question mark. He is good but not sure how he would handle a role outside of CP3 and Harde passing to him.
Question: what is Derozen's value elsewhere around the league? He's locked up for 3 years. Does he have positive value if we flipped him to the Lakers, Philly, etc etc?
Personally, I don't like his game and I don't think he helps us compete for a championship the next 3 years. I'd rather keep OG and the other assets and send DD elsewhere for cap space and more assets if there is a market.
The tweet says "jonathan", I'm guessing he spelled it wrong. But, know any other jonathan??
Could be all part of that "control" issue the group is upset with. They probably wanted to be treated as LeGM and have a word on PATFO decisions.
They could if the Spurs take Lowry instead of DeRozan. The Raptors would probably prefer to trade DeRozan over Lowry in this scenario and avoid taking the Mills contract altogether though.
Aldridge, Anunoby, Gasol, Green, Lowry
Gay, Belinelli, Poeltl/Bertans, White, Murray
Next off season, waive/stretch Gasol and let Green walk, opening up rotation spots for both instead of one of Poeltl/Bertans, as well as Walker.
... Is that a joke?
A trade for Leonard into the eastern conference practically guarantees a finals appearance for that team. So a one year rental is worth it for an eastern team.
There's no point in stretching Gasol if the Spurs are trading for Lowry. They won't be a player for cap space anyway and shouldn't take on dead money in future years for nothing. With DeRozan's smaller deal, at least there's a chance they could get a real near-max slot.
The only thing I did was pass along information. I am well aware that Toronto was in play as I had already made a post in regard to trading with Toronto based on internet sources/rumors 2 days ago. I have also commented on Lakers/Boston.
I shared this because it wasn't the Raptors are a possibility or leader in trade bid, but that 1)the deal was done, 2) preferred a third team 3) Toronto believed they had a deal in place even if third partner failed to emerge.
This trade may not happen or maybe it does, but simply offering info that I know came from a potentially legitimate source. It's not like I am going to come on this board and seek credit for breaking a story, nor am I likely to have any kinda of Spurs news in the future (unless it happens to involve Orlando, and even then not high probability)
