another legendary up![]()
Who's the clown in Sacramento that thought Buddy Hield is the next Steph Curry? Didn't one of those clowns demand him in the trade for Cousins thinking he'd be a star? I still think that trade was re ed.
I think Pop might like Divac though, so Pop very well might be willing to deal with him if the Kings are willing to give up what the Spurs want for a possible rental.
#2 and Fox would be a good starting point.
I bet if LMA goes Pop will retire. The only reason he is staying is because he promised he would stick around if LMA signed. I doubt he transitions to just the GM job, when he goes, he walks out the door for good. Nobody knows about KL til it happens, the guy may stay and that changes everything. If Pop goes, bring back Coach Bud and let him bring in his own assistants.
sources?
May fAvorite plan.
Kings 1st pick for Kawhi is really good. Spurs can draft Doncic or Bagley. then sign a star free agent with the money they have available.
LMA for Chandler parsons + #4 pick + future 1st rounder if you really want to blow it up
We were the #3 seed before Gay and Aldridge missed time. We have cap space to go after an impact player this offseason. We get young assets back like Fultz, Covington or Brown and Rozier and an extra pick that puts Spurs ahead of the curve on 80% of the NBA teams easily.
And potentially land our next franchise player if we do the #2 swap. I'd take Bogdanovic over Fox along with the pick.
We have a young PG that is actually defensive minded and that will learn to score.
I do get the one year rental concern for trading for Kawhi, but i also think there are teams like Sacto and Memphis that have all sorts of other non-basketball considerations that might think about it. It’s not ideal, but they’d conserve his bird rights in a trade, and, as I understand it, would be able to offer higher per year raises than a team that goes after him on free agency.
I’m not saying that will be enough, of course, but you add that to the sketchy draft track record of some of these top draft order teams, and you have an interesting conditions for a possible draft day surprise.
Kawhi to Sacramento for
#2 pick
Bogdanovic
Labissiere
Justin jackson
Trade Patty Mills to phillyfor their first second rounder
2- jaren jackson PF/C Michigan state can rim protect with immense length and standing 6'11". Can also stretch and is incredibly athletic
18- Lonnie Walker SG Miami young athletic scorer. Great length. Can shoot from deep
38- Jared Vanderbilt SF Kentucky freshman season hacked by ankle injury. But at 6'9" with great length he would a great pick here. Needs to get consistent with shot but has good form. Can handle the ball too
49- Hamidou Diallo SG/PG Kentucky extremely long and athletic. Had a good shot needs to be consistent. Could develop into a Manu type role off the bench.
PG- Murray, White, Forbes
SG- Bogdanovic, Walker, Diallo
SF- Gay, Jackson, Vanderbilt
PF- Jackson, Labissiere, Bertans
C- Aldridge, Mulitinov, Brihma
If you really think Sacramento trades that package for the #2 then you trade aldridge for parsons and the #4 as well and build around murray, doncic, and JJJ. Bottom out for 1 year, get a nice draft pick next year, and your future looks good for the next decade.
Spurs trading with PHX or SAC gives them a chance right away to get one.
I really like a package around Fox, Buddy and the #2. Sac actually has some good assets with players they have tbh
Does any team have two lottery picks this year we could trade for?
Seriously bold this man. If we trade Leonard with the future in mind (meaning picks and young players) then you HAVE TO get rid of Aldridge. That #4 Memphis pick looks nice.
I don’t like Buddy honestly. But Fox & 2 is great. Trade Fox or Murray.
I'd think anything 4 and under for Kawhi is too much risk without a longer term commitment.
Clippers have 12 and 13
Clippers.
I really hope SA gets cap space and buys picks for taking on one year deals like Faried or something.
I agree. But all you need is one taker....
The bar is closing. Spurs need to take someone home.
Spurs aren't going to blow it up and make this thing a cautionary tale for people to write in the history books. Also. LMA looks like for the Spurs untouchable unless he wants a trade after this fiasco. Spurs mo will be to repair Kawhi relationship if possible or trade for assets that would maximize both short term and long term needs. This should be what we expect from the Spurs. Those early lottery picks will probably need a 3rd team or commitment from Kawhi. Plus like the rumors in earlier year Spurs would likely trade to the east even if Kawhi only commits to sign and trade with LA.
