the only chance that happens is if NOLA accepts the Lakers garbage and flips AD for Kawhi.
Teams have waived physicals before, it's not a big deal. The waiving of the physical will be part if the trade
Besides, the physical would be hard for Kawhi to tank. He's already been cleared by the Spurs.
It's all pain management anyway supposedly solved by Philly doctor's rehab plan
The Lakers are the ones that wouldn't do it
Spurs fans lmao. Think they have any leverage here lol
Zero chance that team beats the Warriors. You could add Paul George to that team too and they'd still have no chance against the Warriors.
Hard to believe isn't? That the Spurs are currently the center of discussion this off-season, after all of years being an "under the radar team".
They haven't offered it because of the medical issue
"Make them bid against each other, RC!! I know you would never make a bad deal!!!The Lakers are the ones that wouldn't do it
Spurs fans lmao. Think they have any leverage here lol"
Kevin O'Conner is a tool who talks about the Spurs on Reddit, he's not a credible basketball mind, just a biased blowhard
Not sure what you mean there. Since Julius Randle is a RFA they could match any offer sheet and then trade him I thought. Either way, they have lots of assets so they can trade lonzo for a future lottery pick, give them the next years first round as well as possibly add Kuzma, Ingram, Hart
.. has any amount more ever been offered in a trade? Just saying causing Lakers to sell the farm, the Spurs would have to consider vs the East teams that would are negotiating under a possible 1 yr lease of Kawhi.
The only players mentioned I like are Saric and Tatum (unless you count Hayward), but Tatum won't happen and Philly can't put together a package around Saric that makes sense (Fultz doesn't with Murray on our team).
That said, if no major shakeups (three teamers) happen, I'm all for keeping Kawhi and see what happens.
The GM that goes for that definitely has his neck on the chopping block . . .
Wow, being a journalist is so ing easy. I could just writr that the Spurs could trade kawhi to anyone. Amazing
I doubt the Spurs even want Randle. He's in line to get paid more than Kawhi is making, while only showing flashes for like half a season of his career. Oh, and he can't shoot.
Fultz is both a better and worse prospect than Ingram, which is exactly what higher ceiling and lower floor means. Of the two, he's more likely to both bust out, or break out and be a star. You have to take that chance when you're getting fifty cents or less on the dollar in a trade, and hope to catch lighting in a bottle. LA has nothing remotely like that Miami 2021 unprotected pick, and that's the deal tipper for me.
Was thinking the same on the way to work
Pop and Spurs waived the physical for Charles Smith after he failed it when the Knicks added cash to the deal
In the end it wasn't even his bad knees that ended his career but his ankles
I mean Randle would be a negative in a trade. Paying a 4 year, $108 million max deal for that pos sounds horrible.
"Make them bid against each other, RC!! I know you would never make a bad deal!!!
They can get Lonzo and they'll love it.
Really trying to get other teams involved
The autographed bong and Kyrie and Tatum should get her done!!
Woj said earlier that they wouldn't offer it unless they have confirmation that he's healthy. Makes sense after sitting out an entire season!
Been watching Ingram highlight videos in case the Spurs fold like pathetic cowards
Not impressive at all, and that's the highlights! Looks like Kyle Anderson willing to shoot long twos. Slow.
Nothing to get excited about
No wonder the Lakers want to get rid of him. Even weak, quitting Kawhi in his last 3 games as a Spur was about 10 times better, easy.
The Lakers, in their desperation, might waive the physical.
I don't think there's any way in Boston or Philly would.
Here is my breakdown:
Kawhi and Spurs meet and he asks for the supermax. Spurs say no.
Kawhi then leaks that he doesn't want to play for the Spurs anymore and prefers to go to L.A. This is done to try to get leverage and to try to force the Spurs to trade him to L.A.
Spurs and Kawhi meet again and again he asks for the $219 million. Spurs are a little more open to it, but only if they get a guarantee that he's 100% healthy, which is why Kawhi's camp leaks that he is pretty much 100% and should be ready to go by the time training camp starts.
Kawhi and Spurs talk recently and state they are open to coming back to San Antonio, but only for the $219 million and this time the Spurs are somewhat willing to give it to him, but only if they get that guarantee about his health. Kawhi says they will give the Spurs the health report or whatever if/when they get the supermax.
Spurs say no and now are open to trades. They still won't agree unless it's a crazy deal and still hold out hope Kawhi will be open to coming back.
Kawhi now says hey I'm also open to the Clippers and even a couple of teams on the East.
The problem now is "fun" according to SAS.
Wants LA and "fun". Wahoo! Kawhi beach party 2018
i've come to this conclusion. leonard on the spurs next season still does nothing to make the spurs better than GS as the spurs roster is currently constructed. it puts us into the western conference finals perhaps with a shot at something if an injury takes place but there is always the chance that the injury is to leonard himself (he's never played more than 70 games). lebron is going to be 34 for most of the upcoming season and then on to 35. yes, he's in remarkable shape but he's going to be on the wrong side of 30 soon. in some ways, the spurs have a chance to build a team for the first time. it's a gauntlet but one that they at least may have some pieces to build a foundation on. if they can get some first rounders and a solid off and on all star player then they may be better off than moving forward with a questionable leonard in terms of at ude and health. i trust they will not pull the trigger on a crappy trade so i can only hope they get the most for their buck. it's sad that it has come to this but leonard has proven to be a total in this entire process and that is something i have been reluctant to concede for quite some time.
