who tf is this guy
Gonna be hilarious in 2 years when these teams look back and realize they didn't trade for Kawhi because they didn't want to lose guys like Ingram, Markelle Fultz, Jaylen Brown....
I'd trade Dejounte and/or White for a guy like Kemba on a 1yr, no hesitation....and Kemba is no Kawhi....
who tf is this guy
Why is it eleventh hour? Who's in a rush?
Before the draft, I would've said you could've convinced Divac to give up the #2 pick and maybe Bogdanovic for Kawhi. And before Tony went to the Hornets, MJ probably would've offered something crazy.
Maybe Riley has lost it and will give us some crazy offer.
And yeah 76ers, Celtics, and Lakers won't actually give any of their best assets despite having more than Clippers which is why Clippers will give the best offer. You're not getting more than Saric/Covington/Chandler (to match salary), Boston bench salary filler and a pick or two, or Deng, Hart, Zubac, and one other 1-2M cost player (Wagner?).
How about re-routing DeRozan to the Lakers? Trade would look like this: http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ycejoxpl
Spurs get:
Ibaka
Deng
Ingram
Anunoby
Hart
TOR pick
2 LAL picks
Why the Spurs should do it: rid themselves of Kawhi, get young pieces for a rebuild but can simultaneously contend, get young assets, give away bigger contracts
Raps get:
Leonard
Gasol
Mills
Paul
Why the Raptors should do it: cap relief from horrible contracts, a chance to win the East with Leonard (trivial), a brand new start, essentially
Losers get:
DeRozan
Why the Lakers should do it: DeRozan is a Compton kid, a perennial All-Star (and a starter at that), has a Kobe-style iso game that evokes nostalgia from Laker fans, and he addresses two issues they have with Leonard: commitment (2 years left in contract) and health (no major injuries last year)
I dont know but more like last call bull . End of midnight .
i think he's implying the Raps are going all in on a good offer for Leonard and Spurs may take it if Sixers don't step up their offer? i assume thats what he meant
is this a joke?
Lonnie with a serious looking injury, f'n unbelievable
^ Lakers won't trade Ingram for Kawhi but they'll trade him for DeRozan?
Clippers are only interesting if they can trade Harris somewhere for something of value to give us. I can't see it happening.
Riley- I don't see how he can make an offer that would be better than kawhi simply walking away. No assets to speak of.
Where is this lotter projection coming from? You're not the first one that I've seen put a lot of value in Miami's pick and I don't see it. Spo has turned out to be a pretty good coach. They've built a good program there, players hold themselves accountable for improving their games/bodies. They're a low ceiling/high floor type of team--with as week as the East is I don't see why they wouldn't continue to be a 5-8 seed playoff team.
Even if it is a lottery pick, what are the chances that lottery pick ends up being a perennial all-star? Even one that's a regular season fool's gold player?
How years the past decade has Miami been in the lottery?
Christ Lonnie Walker injured..
I’m fine with DeRozan if you get OG and a pick. SA will still be a solid playoff team, still get to rebuild, collect young assets and they can always move DeRozan too. It’s a fine deal. Let’s get this going.
They keep saying they have issues with Leonard’s health and commitment. DeRozan addresses both. If they don’t agree to that it means all those concerns about his health and commitment are being faked to create trade leverage and they just really want to give up garbage for Leonard.^ Lakers won't trade Ingram for Kawhi but they'll trade him for DeRozan?
Spurs are cursed
Spurs fans trying to talk themselves into Derozan is really beyond sad.
If it comes to desperation, you trade the got for a flawed and younger talent like Kyrie Irving who has wider player connection that could help recruit stars in the future instead of a near 30 yo serial playoff choker with a capped ceiling.

DeRozan by himself is not good, but let’s not act like SA wouldn’t be a top 4 seed with DeRozan. No shot at a le, but SA wants to keep winning. They don’t want to tank.
OG is a damn good prospect. If you get that and a pick knowing Kawhi is gone from TOR and so is DeRozan? Its a very solid deal man.
SA would have done well even if it’s far from what I was hoping.
And why isn't Tobias of value? You need guys who can get their own shot and do it efficiently-he does. Harrell is already a defensive monster and I bet we could fit his FT% and get him to shoot the corner 3. And we need more forwards on this team in general and he'd also be a great small ball 5. Those 2 future picks should be of good value . . . I bet each has about the same value as the Heat 2021 pick.
In terms of teams dealing with us out of desperation/bad management/etc. I'd be most willing to deal with the Heat. I like Richardson/Adebayo/Olynyk/Winslow and two future first rounders for both Kawhi and Mills.
Exactly. Yes Derozan isn’t the best get but he isn’t a scrub. He is a legit player. Getting someone like him for a 1 yr rental in Kawhi is as good a get the spurs could get. Along with OG and say raptors 2020 pick, id be alright with that.
Don't know if he knows anything. Could just be speculating given all the rumors. But he seems to be connected within the Sixers organization.
