There's no way the Spurs surrender Kawhi unless it is a no brainer. And getting KG is no longer a no-brainer.
I wouldn't take either deal. The Spurs don't need help up front at this point. I'm perfectly fine going into the playoffs with a front line of Duncan-Splitter with Diaw coming off the bench. Bonner can play a couple of minutes here or there as needed. There are no dominant front lines out there to worry about anymore. The Spurs biggest priority should be to try and get healthy come playoff time. They were so close last year, I see no reason to change things up right now.
I wouldn't even trade Kwahi for KG straight up... much less for KL + Tiago... do these guys even watch basketball? Why in the world would the Spurs trade away 3 key rotational players...
JJ would flourish in the Spurs system. I've been advocating for him since he came into the league. Fits the franchise to a tee.
That's why no one is talking about sending him to the Bobcats
Going to the spurs when they lost Ray Allen and now Rondo for the year could be something KG agree with
No and no
Spurs need to trade for big men, who could take some attention, boost TV ratings. I truly believe that biased refs could stop Spurs from getting into finals. Only OKC with refs can stop them. Probably Stern wants another Durant - LeBron finals. His beloved Knicks and Lakers are out of the picture.
Miami is another story, and they are good enough to win it all, without help of refs.
Garnett wont bring it all attention, and Spurs wouldnt be able to limit Durant, by trading too guys who can guard him for a guy who cant.
The Celtics are 4-0 since Rondo's been out with the ACL. They were 0-6 in their last 6 games with him. If thy start to turn it around, the Celtics won't be trading anybody, so the point is moot as of right now. Plus, KG is one loyal dude and won't leave Bean town unless he knows for sure they don't have a shot.
Lol no way garnet and duncan play together. They archvillians, it just dont happeen
Not to mention garnett old bag is way overrated these days
so we didn't sign him for this season when we could for free and now we trade three key players ... sounds legit.
eh? who?
You arent talking about Garnett, are you ?

This would provide an answer for the Celtics rebounding woes while also providing instant offense and giving them more flexibility going forward.
But Celtics didnt show any intention on blowing this team up, and going into rebuild mode. They are 4-0 since Rondo being out, playing good basketball.
This trade is ridiculous, all teams bar Spurs say no. It doesn't resolve Boston's rebounding at all and it certainly doesn't give them more flexibility.
Garnett is pretty much done, his glory days ended back in '08. The spurs would be lucky if he made it to the end of the season without rupturing something.
And Red plays no where near the defense Green does. Thank god you are not running this team.
Garnett has a no trade clause. He's not waiving that clause to come to San Antonio and be the 4th banana. Those that say that Duncan's feelings about KG are fictional or ancient history didn't read that long interview he gave to SI last May.
And Hedo back to the Spurs? That's about as likely as GS calling and asking for Jack back.
The celtics were the #1 defensive team last year, largely in part to their pick and roll defense
KG is about the only player in the nba who has the skillset of being able to defend the pick and roll and hit the mid range shot
Al Horford, Gasol and Duncan are the only 3 other players but neither Gasol/Duncan are as mobile and Horford isnt as good
and Green is overrated
i would give him another season after last years choke to see how he handled himself
and hes still the same inconsistent player whos regressed defensively and confidence relies on his shotmaking
and Garnett averaged 19/10 in the playoffs last year
far from done
Apparently KG would only opt out if Pierce gets traded and if he's going to LA. Add that to Duncan's dislike for KG and its obvious it ain't ever going to happen.
In all honesty, I think I have a better chance knocking up Minka Kelly within the next month, tbh.

Whether the chance of trade for Garnett is 10% or 1%, let's put it aside for now. But what you are saying is largely irrelevant.
Signing free agent is a two-way street. When Garnett signed to go back to Celtics, the ceiling of the Celtics was as high as, if not higher, that of the Spurs. Now that changes dramatically. Even though the Heat and Thunder are still favorites, but nobody would be surprised if the Spurs win it all. But it would surprise the whole world if the Celtics win the champion this season.
As we've discussed in the past, I don't believe Diaw can consistently play SF, but even if he could, that would mean Bonner or Blair would be firmly entrenched in the rotation again.
Meh that would be up tobut that could open up some minutes for Baynes, we could use the rebounding boost.
Jack Winter, WarriorsWorld: Garnett and Melo to the Spurs for Kawhi Leonard, Tiago Splitter and Boris Diaw. Leonard is one of the league's true blue-chip prospects, a great athlete with elite defensive potential. Splitter has value, too. A small-picture view like this is against the Spurs' very fabric as an organization, but Garnett and Tim Duncan on the same front line? If there was ever a reason to swing for the fences, this might be it.
_______________________________
Awful in every sense of the word. Giving up Splitter and Leonard for an almost done Garnett does not make any sense to me. Also, Garnett. I cannot stand him as a player. Melo will not ever really be more than a shot blocker.
I wouldnt give up Boris who could backup Sjax at the 3 but I would listen to any offer that brings us Garnett, inxluding ones that involve KY.
I think Pierce has to come as well if we deal KY tbh, we go full tosb but with the best tosb out there.
