Blazers have talked to San Antonio about Kawhi

Toronto has Delon Wright and Jakob Poeltl too. A wright/Murray backcourt would be amazing.

 

Bones and I combined thoughts to get Covington and Butler but what if we just switch Butler and Kawhi.

CJ for Covington, Bayless, rights to Jonah Bolden, and Miami's 2021 1st round pick unprotected.

Then add the 2021 1st round pick from Miami to our package for Kawhi. Now we are in the realm of competing with any other team's offers.

 

Not really... No one in the West is scared of a Wright / Murray backcourt....

 

Gosh, Kahwi has certainly put SA in a tough place.

 

Yeah, but they have Murray, White, and Mills already. I'm not sure they are looking for PGs.

 

I actually think SA has put themselves in a tough position, they deserve this. Kawhi has said basically nothing in a year, SA is the one talking all the time. Throwing him under the bus constantly, this is one of those things where the spurs were very unspur like, should’ve kept their mouths shut.

 

He really can't have much value at this point. If he's willing to sit out the season and he's a UFA after next year..... they don't really deserve to get anything valuable for him.

 

It seems like the Lakers might get cocky again and wait until next year.

Does Boston really see Tatum or Kawhi as a SG? They would be interesting together.
I am sure they would offer Brown. But who is the filler to make it work?

Philly has a shit load of options to move.

 

Ok cool. Harkless, Aminu, and our pick next year or Simons.

 

There is only one team i bet he goes too, Sixers. Nice way to move KL to the east where he will star/big market, but most of all Pops relationship with Brown.
Sixers have plenty of players and/or pics that would be good for Spurs.
The only way he stays in the West, POP gets the players/pic's he wants. Thats not going to happen for a potential one year rental.

 

Or all 4.

Edit: One thing to keep in mind is that Simons and Trent can't be traded for a couple more weeks still as you have to wait 30 days after you sign them.

 

Boston has too many damn wings. It's just goofy.

 

Part of me agrees, but part of me feels like SA deserves the benefit of the doubt considering their track record. Especially the fact that Pop spoke out and alluded to Kawhi's advisors as having the answers. And Pop is by all accounts one cool dude. Also, by saying NOTHING, it feels like Kawhi is really saying something. Being invisible and not being with the team during the playoffs is also fucked. But who knows...

 

IDK, Vonleh is still a bit of a mystery. Per 36 he was averaging something like 14 pts, 13 reb, and taking 5 3pt attempts/game (.300, not good, but that could improve given the number of attempts). I would rather have Vonleh than Swanigan or K. Leonard at the 4.

 

Olshey GM of the year if you can get Kwahi without trading Dame and CJ

 

But, supposedly, Sixers won't trade Simmons, Embiid, or Fultz, so what else would they offer?

 

How could you forget Nunnally....

 

I can't imagine any agent suggesting he leaves 20 million or so on the table? Since there hasn't been a trade as yet, its possible he resigns.
Or, he puts pressure on the Lakers someway to give SA what they want, in exchange for him going there a year early.

 

I think this would be a fair trade.

 

They still have a lot to offer: Covington, Saric, Korkmaz, Zhaire Smith, rights to Bolden/Lessort/Pasecniks, all their future 1sts, and Miami's 2021 unprotected 1st.
