    Wasn't Kawhi cleared to play in February by SA? But said he was not ready? Sounds like the Spurs did sign off....

    Meanwhile, Gregg Popovich says he’d be “surprised” if the star forward returns to the court this year.

    I have no intel.

    At least that's what my wife tells me.

    :cheers:

    (My recollection is that he was unhappy with his recovery and the Spurs medical staff so he got his own.)

    Jake and Coke is a bad combo. Jake should stick to Jack.

    He's made it clear he wants to go to LAL. So, if we got him, he'd likely be a rental. What
    would you guys give up for a 1-year rental?

    For the good of the team, I have a used Subaru I'd be willing to part with.

    I have no doubt that, if Philadelphia could trade #10 and Bayless for #14, they'd do it. The challenging part would be finding a team that would want to and be able to take on Aminu's contract with a TPE or cap space.

    He has the same problem LaMarcus has. His personality isn't marketable, but he thinks it's because of the market he plays in. LaMarcus wasn't marketable at all in Portland, yet Dame showed you can have elite marketability in a small market.

    LMA’s problem was his desire to have all the benefits of being the star and the leader, but never wanted any of responsibilities that came with it. He always didn’t want to co-exist with other good / great players because it infringed on his benefits of being the star.

    When I was a teenager I knew a guy named Jack Schmidt. I would tell people, yes, I do know Jack Schmidt. I enjoyed that line more than they did ;)

    If he gets traded, when he returns to San Antonio with his new team, the BOOOOO's might be the loudest in sports history.

    Especially if he's with the Lakers.

    Part of me wants to believe Kawhi is a double agent and Pop is sending him to bring down the Lakers from within.

    I’d do LMA for Collins/Hark/Chief.
