    Kawhi will just say he won’t re-sign in Boston or pull an Irving and threaten to take season ending surgery if he does go there.

    I involuntarily grimace every time I see jacked Mike Bibby.

    Lakers are also going to have difficulty matching salary, since I seriously doubt the Spurs are willing to take Deng.

    If I'm the Clippers, I'm offering Harris and 12/13.

    No they won’t, Kawhi only makes 18m and the Lakers have a metric fuckton of cap space.

    Lonzo, Ingram, and Hart works for Kawhi.

    I think lonzo , Ingram and hart is a no brainer for the Spurs. 3 young Players with a lot of Upside , Maybe they win that trade

    Every city plays to their strengths which is just fine. So every Billionaire in a small market should play to his and spend whatever he wants to bring it home. Lift that freaking soft cap and see how fast this franchise makes the next step with Paul playing to his strength. He could purchase Ford, GM & Chrysler with pocket change.

    Nobody wins if Kawhi goes to the Lakers... because that means LeBron and PG follow.

    I hate being a team from a shit market... we will never hear an elite player say “I want to be traded, specifically to Portland.”

    I just don’t see a way we ever win a championship.

    If Kawhi doesn't want to play for Portland, we certainly don't want to gut the team to get him.

    He's LA bound.

    Spurs win the trade; Lakers win the battle once they get Kawhi, George, and LeBron.

    It could be worse, we could be SAC. The level of "established star" they can hope to attract is the return of Isaiah Thomas.
