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

[baseline bum]

As stingy as Ainge is, if you have the opportunity to get one of the top 2-3 players in the NBA, you don't F around with it.

Especially when the Spurs can go block Ainge's entire rebuild by trading that top 3 player to the Sixers.

And Sixers potentially sign LBJ after that trade...

What is wrong with you?

I would absolutely take Tatum over LAC package. But I would take LAC over Ingram and Kuz.

What if the Lakers have you Ingram and ball? I'm assuming you re-route ball for additional assets.

I mean, maybe. If you think you can get a better pick than 12/13 for Ball then sure. But if not, no.

Also outside of BOS and LAC/LAL, SA has a lot of good relationships and respect around the league. They will be able to have conversations, be honest/trusted and hopefully that leads to something palatable.

A team won’t do something dumb out of respect for SA but they will come to the table with serious mindsets and a level of trust.

Sixers would only have about $18 million in capspace after losing Fultz and Saric but gaining Leonard. Embiid has $25 million on the books for next season. Hard to believe he's entering his fifth year since being drafted.

[DarkGinobili]

This is a crazy off season so far.

[MannyIsGod]

I'm just not convinced Ainge is that interested, he's stingy and gets enamored with his assets. Sure he would like Kawhi but not at the cost of Tatum and maybe not Brown either. Anything is possible though but I just don't see it based on past actions/behavior.

Boston's going to have to make some trades because they can't let all those small contracts become big contracts or they'll end up with due to the cap. You can't just sit on assets forever. Boston's going to do some trading this year whether or not its with the Spurs.

[mo7888]

I don't make a trade with Philly without including Saric tbh. He is the surest asset on that team tbh.

I agree with that.

Didn't Ainge offer four firsts to Charlotte for the pick they used on Kaminsky? Except they would have taken Justise Winslow?

Totally.......

MJ's dumbass saved Ainge.

[spurraider21]

a trade with boston where the best player we get is jaylen brown would be a ty deal. brown looks like an excellent complementary player. but he has nearly zero franchise player/best player on a compe ive team potential. chinook's idea of picking up brown and hayward in a deal sending over gasol is much more intriguing if we were to go that route.

but i would prefer fultz/saric/covington package to these brown/rozier trades

Interesting tidbit from Chris Broussard this morning that Kawhi's uncle and Kyrie Irving's dad are fairly close. He specifically mentioned that he didn't know if Kawhi wanted to play with LBJ, but his uncle has heard horror stories from Kyrie's dad about playing with LBJ.

1) The Spurs were starting to be mentioned much more about a possible basketball fit for LBJ (even if the chances of acquiring LBJ were slim).
2) Kawhi may be interested in playing in Boston due to the relationship that his uncle and Kyrie's father have.

no clue if Kyrie sticks around in Bos... guy is going LBJ with contract, signing, etc

damn spurfan is optimistic/delusional today

You idolize Cam Newton...a grown man idolizing another grown man..

Hey Yahoo is reporting that the Cavs are contacting Spurs. Please. We don't want their 8th pick and Kevin Love for Kawhi. Maybe LMA.

[DPG21920]

Only “proposed” type of deal I’ve seen with CLE that would make any sense is if they trade Love to MEM for 4/Parsons and CLE then uses 4 & 8 for Kawhi.

[gambit1990]

kyrie. horror stories from playing with LBJ? GTFO.

That would be great for Spurs, but aside from unloading Parsons I don't see what Memphis gets out of it.

[cutewizard]

Tatum for Kawhi would be fair i think.......
