Young: sources tell @ExpressNews that Kawhi Leonard wants to be traded from Spurs

[RD2191]

Lakers have trash roster, why would the spurs want any of their garbage?

As I said earlier, Ingram and kuzma would automatically be the Spurs 2nd and 3rd best players, assuming Kawhi is moved. And what else can the Spurs get tbh? Brown from the Celts maybe?

[look_at_g_shred]

I may be in the minority here but Ingram/Kuz/Pick and possibly randle plus a pau salary dump is ing A1

[offset formation]

Pop does not get fleeced. There will be a good trade or no trade.

Shelbourne, Woj, and ESPN are saying exactly that if you look at that article. I believe the descriptor they used was, "substantial."

Lol @ Lakerfan coming over here and telling us we will take Ingram, a pick, and bench guys.

Bwahahaha.

Exactly, those are 2 really good pieces to add on cheap contracts. A deal around Kyrie only has a year left. I like Brown but what other pieces would they give up? Spurs had looked at drafting Kuzma originally, he averaged 17/6 his first year. Ingram has shown good improvement each year and is skilled. I think both would excel on the Spurs. They can always use those guys as assets later for trades if needed.

You aren't, I would love that package. Replace Pau with Randle who gets after it, and add Ingram/Kuzma? Yes please.

[TD 21]

The media is so desperate for the Lakers to return to prominence and the Spurs to become irrelevant, that they've now suddenly got amnesia. They got sucked in and played this "he's definitely going to the Lakers in a year" game with George throughout the past year only to do an about-face, saying that the Thunder, on a 1+1 deal, are a distinct possibility.

Neither the Celtics or 76ers should be scared off and the Lakers shouldn't risk his being traded to the 76ers (Celtics are playing their usual games), an appealing situation and great fit, who can offer at least $40M more. Not even if they think they're signing James and George, an A-list name with a B-list game.

Unfortunately, if the Celtics remain unwilling to capitulate, it's probably 76ers or Lakers and if Fultz can't be rerouted for Jackson (and he probably can't), probably Lakers.

If it eventually happens, the one saving grace is the Spurs would now be better suited for the "new NBA". A cadre versatile big wings/combo forwards (Ingram, Kuzma, Anderson, Bertans), as well as big guards (Murray, White, Walker, possibly Hart), probably an extra 1st, plus all picks going forward. The downside would be none have superstar potential and maybe 1-2 have star potential.

We aren’t getting a superstar for khawi. So the goal should be getting as many shots at getting a star in the future as possible. Nothing on the Lakers accomplishes this. Ingram and kuzma are solid starters but I don’t see either developing into a star. At least philly gives us a couple of shots at getting a star. The Miami pick hopefully turns into a top pick. Fultz may turn into a bust but he is only a year away from the consensus #1 pick.

And Kawhi (if healthy) becomes the best Laker by a factor of 10- why should the Spurs rebuild the Lakers in one fell swoop?
Spurs are going to get ed anyway you slice it, therefore the best move is Leonard just for spite.
Leonard, and the Lakers.

[BillMc]

Get a third team involved. Somehow get KAT down here, he wants out of Minnesota.

[DPG21920]

Hart sucks and I don’t want him

I would rather have Murray/Lonnie/White and don’t want Hart.

A franchise like the Spurs can't afford to think that way. We never attract free agents and the one we did attract (LMA) requested a trade after a couple of seasons. Kawhi is bent on joining the Lakers so he'll be there either by trade or in free agency. Why would the Spurs let him walk for nothing when they can get 2 solid rookies with potential in a trade? They're going to get ed when Kawhi walks just out of spite? that.

[Joseph Kony]

lol this laker fan clown

Lakers are about to fork over Ingram, Kuzma, a pick, and take a ty contract back at minimum if they want Kawhi. face it, Lakers are going to fork over whatever the spurs ask for in the end

[BillMc]

Hart sucks and I don’t want him

I would rather have Murray/Lonnie/White and don’t want Hart.

So that makes you "Hart-less?"

Ah, I need sleep.....

Pretty much what I've been saying . Making the Lakers sucks ass but the Spurs aren't winning this trade any way you look at it. Might as well get some young prospects in return.

[Clipper Nation]

Sad to see Spur fans already cucking and conceding to the Lakers. Where's you guys' pride? You actually want the Lakers' trash?

I still think they should ask Magic to fork over six months of his retrovirals too.

You have to put emotion behind you, and look after yourself. You keep Kawhi next year and he walks for nothing. He’s leaving so might as well get the best start to a rebuild/retool . Kawhi gives you a headstart.

You've said this joke before. I don't think anyone laughed the first time.

Agreed I don't see no point in creating a Lakers super team with the trash the Lakers will give in return.

I agree. You're going to enjoy paying a max salary to Ingram in two years when he's at best a Millsap level player? Or you let him walk and then you got less than nothing since you spent two years developing him? People overrate B-level talent on rookie contracts so much here. Everyone loves these guys until they get their first real contract they negotiate.

[dbestpro]

Trying to make the dollars match is hard. Spurs will have to take back $18 mil in salary. There is no way Deng is included unless other Spur players are involved. Deng has two more years of 18 mil left. The only way I see it would be adding a sign and trade of Lopez or Randle, or a three way that sends Deng and Ball to a team for another player in the $10-$12 mil (Vucevic?) range while including Ingram and Kuzma.

[RD2191]

If Ingram and kuzma are trash then what are the bums on the Spurs? name a better player than those two on the Spurs (sans Kawhi and LMA tbh)

The Spurs don't have to take back salary since the Lakers have cap room. And Randle is going to cost more than Kawhi most likely.
