Son you have Doc, Doc Jr and DeAndre Jordan as your big 3 - you desperate as![]()
Leonard to lakers would only work if the Spurs know they can get a stud in free agency, like George or Lebron. If you got Kuz, Ingham, 1st and George, your probably better, despite Leonard being the best player in the trade. At least George, you know, plays.
Another option if studs are out, spurs could go covington, Saric, Holmes, then get two of Barton/bradley/evans/favours if Gasol went to the sixers. I much prefer Leonard to stay as none of these players are star material.

The race doesn't always go to the swiftest, nor the tournament to the best short game---but that's the way to bet.
This. Plus Spurs don’t want the Lonzo side show, and the Lakers Pick is . If they add Leonard and possibly George/Lebron then their future picks will also be . I just don’t see it even if Ingram is decent.
LOL! So true.
What he said
Shoulda gone to Dallas he saiddddddd
What can the 76ers realistically offer that the Spurs would want?
Fultz + a top 10 pick.
Fultz + Saric + 10 + stashed pick/2nd
If Philly plans to move on from Re the teams can also swap Mills and Convington.
Thanks
Lowe is a good nba writer but basically says nothing on this. “It’s just a guess”. “Doesn’t feel great about it”. “Could easily be playing for the Spurs”. So basically you don’t have any idea. Plus he will back up and follow whatever Simmons says because Simmons first hired him at grantland years back.
Simmons used to be a good writer (who never writes anymore). But has dropped off drastically since he left/was fired from ESPN. He brought up the Clipper trade as a what if like a month ago on a podcast and admitted it was based on nothing but guesswork on his part. Now he obviously has convinced himself of the validity of it
On the same podcast from a month ago Simmons said he thought the spurs would go for it because Tobias Harris would give the Spurs 80% of what a healthy Kawhi would give. The guy he was doing the podcast with, I think his buddy House, burst out laughing at that
Did you see how the Warriors obliterated the Rockets tonight? The Clippers aren't one Kawhi Leonard away from contention or relevance - especially if he's going to turn out to be the next Orlando Grant Hill, warming the bench in a suit the whole time. I'm pretty sure West realizes this.
It has been said time and time again that Pop doesn't want to deal his players to western conference foes, much less the Lakers, and yet here we go again.
The only way Kawhi goes to the Lakers is if he refuses to sign an extension, basically guaranteeing he walks at the end of next season, causing his suitors to refuse to offer decent compensation for a possible rental of Kawhi's services.
i just wanna know what team i am rooting for already. Hope Gino has 3 more efficient years in him.
Boston is ideal trade partner: Kawhi for brown or Tatum,Rozier,Morris and Monroe .throw in sacs 2019 1st rounder and the Memphis 2019 or 2020 pick.
Also like trading leonard to the knicks for porzingis and filler and their lotto pick and next years 1st
Why would Boston do this, tbh?
The only way we can deal with Boston if we get Hayward. They simply won't pay more than 50 Millions for two players playing the same position...
Tonight will clear draft pick uncertainty. If one or both of the Clippers picks lands in the top 10 then they become solid contenders, but as most have stated more than likely he’ll go east if they trade him.
You don’t win the race by staying crouched in the starting blocks, and Kawhi gives you a better shot than 12 and 13.
They can only jump into the top 3, or remain where they are. Actually, if 14 jumps into the top 3, they could each bump back one slot. Only the first 3 picks are drawn. After that, they are slotted by draft order.
Please remember all this can and should be avoided if Kawhi would just be a man and step up to the mic and say a few ducking words.
Salaries don't match. That's a problem isnt it? Or is there some rule that allows them to not take back the same amount of $$?
For Spurs to offer Leonard the Super Max, dude needs to show he has recovered from his injury.
