Sounds about right. If I'm the Spurs and I was going to trade Kawhi, best believe he's going to an (L)Eastern Conference team.

I think 5 1st rounders, Ingram, Kuzma, Half ownership of the Staples Center should get it done. Spurs will to remain "Ball" less due to the overhead baggage of his dad.
Can I go on the record as suggesting that Leonard won't be going anywhere in a big trade because he won't pass the physical? His quad issue seems really concerning and could severely limit him going forward. If he has some kind of degeneration of the tissue he may never play at a high level again. Teams will need to be very sure he can recover--something he hasn't been able to show over an entire season with a top medical staff.
It's either a very major medical issue or an even bigger character issue. Tough to justify mortgaging the future to acquire him, either way.
Just from memory, so please correct me if you have better intel. Woj mentioned that one of the issues the Spurs have with Kawhi is, he was not using the Spurs medical staff. He was using he own doctors last season. The Spur are not going to extend his contact until their Medical staff signed off.
