Bcos AD is willing to go to any contender, whereas Kawhi wanted to go LA. Besides Kawhi was sitting out with a mysterious injury that no one knows whether he can recover from.
DJ and LMA for AD, who says no?

Its coming out that AD wants to do Lakers only supposedly.
All day.
If LA gets AD now, they will be instant contenders. Add a couple of buyout market veteran shooters, and they will be dangerous for the Warriors. I dislike LeBron but he will unstoppable in the playoffs, if paired with AD.
Then it becomes easy to attract another star. LA has zero problems to go deep into tax.
Would you trade Depression for a year rental of AD? The Pels might value an all-star (and some sweetner) over the baby useless Lakers and the Celtics can't bid. The Spurs are infinitely better with Davis over Demar, we might do some damage in the playoffs, show off that Spurs culture. If we don't chip it, we can still trade him to recoup losses inferred picking him up. Hate to be that guy but I have somewhat soured on Demar and would trade him for a half a season of AD and whatever we can recoup from trading him later. For me AD rental (plus trade value later)>Demar and say Beli and a draft pick.
If you are local, and watch the games, the studio guy, Dan, pointed out that there is a historic career dip in January for Demar, and it's his worst month by far. The good news is that Feb/Mar/Apr are all good to outstanding for him.
I wouldn't worry about this slump. I just think he's gassed. Pop leaned into him really hard to carry the team for the 1st half of the season, and it's taking it's toll.
Right. AD is playing his ass off. NO front office did nothing to help him. They got Mirotic for free, and Randle on a discounted contract. Nothing else.
He has all reasons to want out of there. Still, extremely professional. And he is better than Kawhi, frankly.
I wouldn't say that Derrick is better than Ingram or Bryn better than Kuzma.
Also, I doubt NO would want to consider an injured player like DJ as part of the trad.
nah not local Spurs fan in Alabama, nice to know. was just spit balling an idea because if word ever got out about the Spurs pursuing a deal like that and it falling through, it might wreck Demar.
Heck I say LMA, AD and losing DeRozan (but keeping most of everything else) would make the Spurs the 2nd best team in the West and from there who knows?
But NO doesn't have our PATFO nor Pacers' FO.
They're weak and desperate...I cant see Pels dealing with this LAL pressure.
The path has been blazed by both Indy and SA in not giving in to player/agent demands. There's absolutely no rush for N.O. They have a year and like two weeks to do a deal. There is absolutely no reason to take out the Lakers trash.
Derrick IS better than Ingram. Kuzma is likely better than Bryn.
This is the guy that I hope the Spurs brass are looking at with renewed hope/interest. He may not have the ideal size, but his defensive ability coupled with his scoring would be a huge boon to the starting lineup. Consider:
White/Mills
Holiday/Forbes
DeRozan/Belinelli
Gay/Bertans
Aldridge/Poeltl
It would allow Forbes to fully join that ridiculous second unit, reduce minutes/stress for DeRozan, and really shore up the perimeter defense.

Everyone knows they should wait but I don't trust in Pels' "toughness" to handle this.
Pacers sent PG to a small market like OKC. Pop sent Kawhi to Siberia. If Demps is strong enough he should send a message trading him to Atlanta.
Pop a Goat!
YES!!! #KeepStrongDemps #SayNoToLakers
"Reverse tampering" - dumbest thing I've ever heard of. I guess teams just need to roll over and let the Lakers fleece them. Fvck Lebron and the Lakers.
I've never been a big Jordan fan, nor did I like how the league catered to him during his playing days, but at least he had the balls to just win without the need to sign the next two or three best players in the league to help him. Pippen was a great sidekick, but he was there through it all...not much different than Manu or Parker with Duncan. Seems like Jordan's legacy would have been tainted had he said he needs the Bulls to go out and sign Drexler and Ewing, or Olajuwon or Robinson or (insert superstar here) to play beside him so he could have a better chance to win.

I think White is definitely better than Ingram while Kuzma is better than Bryn
We can talk to NO during the free agency period right? So how would this be reverse tampering? Lakers have been doing this waaay before free agency started
No rule against that, at all. I'm glad Dell reached out. Luck the Fakers.
Pop still pissed about that Gasol for Gasol trade
Love his petty tbh
