Kiwi trade option: Screw prospects

[Russ]

I am really worried about that quad. Spurs could end up with a supermaxed guy whose career peak has already passed, etc. There’s no win scenario in this if you give credibility to the fact Kiwi is indeed that hurt. I haven’t seen anything that’s truly reassuring about his injury. There’s no clear solution, there’s no surgery that will fix it, the passage of time and rehabbing hasn’t fixed it. “Sooner reather than later” hasn’t fixed it. Nothing Kiwi has said is reassuring about the injury itself.
It’s a damn shame. He’s not gaining anything by not playing. Dude is really injured.

I would agree with you more if Kawhi hadn't hired his own demanding uncle to run his affairs right at the time all these injury woes started.

Perhaps it's just a coincidence.

Well there is a glimmer of hope that the prognosis is that is a physiological injury that causes the pain receptors to misfire basically telling Kawhi's brain that he is injured when he really isn't. Something this complicated, it would make sense that it would take time. I just hope Kawhi signs for less than the supermax or comes back this post season and show he is healthy and gets on with his career. If not, works with mgmt and we get fair assets for him over the offseason.

^ I don’t talk to the Suns for Leonard unless they’re moving their top pick. Kyre, an inferior player, netted Brooklyns pick so that should be a clear benchmark.

Now if the spurs acquire Love in a Leonard for Brooklyn pick swap, I’d consider the Suns middling picks for Love.

Brooklyn pick
Cedí Osman
Zizic
Georgie’s contract

For

Leonard
Patty

If RC Buford agreed to this, he should immediately kill himself after hanging up the phone

I still holp hope Kawhi will play for us in the future. But, it's fun to speculate as to who we would trade for him. Kristaps Porzingis! their per 36 min stats are pretty similar with KP having the edge on Shooting and KL on Defense. I compared KP current season (3rd) with KL's best (5th).

KP will fit pretty darn well in our system next to LA, with his 3 pt shooting and ability to stretch the floor. That's my dream trade.

KP is younger and more marketable. Knicks wouldn't trade him for Kawhi unless they were in win now mode. Which they wouldn't be without another significant signing like Lebron or AD.

I think the Knicks will offer KP, their pick, plus Frank nitiklina(sp?l

except that Porzingins can never be as good as Kawhi Leonard

^ i have no idea what the Knicks could put together that would move the Spurs. They would want to pair KP and Leonard, not move KP. Maaaaaayyyybe if there pick lands in the Top 3 and they take back some of our bad salary?

[CGD]

If we’re entertaining PHX, would if Orlando could be a partner if they land the top pick.

Something like:
Leonard and Patty’s long term money

For:
- Top pick this year
- Jonathan Issac
- 23 million in expiring deals (Vuc and Ross)

[Killakobe81]

I like the Clippers trade right now they own the 12th and 13th pick

But what young core piece? Tobias Harris?

[Baam]

Get Fultz. Philly can't even play him with Ben Simmons, this is a Harden-in-OKC situation all over again.

[r0drig0lac]

76ers: Saric+Bolden+ lot of picks (or Fultz)
C's: Tatum + Brown + pick or nothing ( Ainge)
Lolkers: Ingram + Randle or Ingram + Kuzma + pick

I think you're giving dolan to much credit..

We Don’t Need Him To Be Just As Good We Just Need Him To Actually Be Able To Play Games.

[kaji157]

Would you trade Lebron and Mills for a LeBron resigned on a 2 year deal plus pick?

Lolkers: Ingram + Randle or Ingram + Kuzma + pick

On board, minus the Lakers deal. Folks overrate those guys hard. There is a reason Lakerfan is happy to move on from them in these scenarios....

Would you do this if you were able to get BOTH the Knicks and Nets (via Cavs) picks I. THIS draft year:

Alternatively, you trade for Love and then do a separate deal later with the highest bidder.
