I wish, but there just isn't anything that the Spurs can offer that the Cavs are going to be willing to take back.

I don't see LBJ going to SA. But that being said, I absolutely believe that if he wanted to all parties could figure out a way to make it work. So many deals get done nowadays that have no logic it's crazy. The guys pulling the strings can make it happen.
Bron and Kawhi to the late show...bet the farm
Ha, yeah maybe Timmy could dig deep for an unretirement victory lap if Lebron comes to town.

I'm not a LeBron fan, but if this were a result of him coming here I would wholeheartedly want that.

LBJ had a no trade clause so Bron can force them to trade and get something or just walk away and they get nothing.
Philly, Boston, and Lakers probably had be the best chips but Bron also doesn't want all the talented pieces leaving for him to come in because it runs the team a la Melo to Knicks
Likely because Buffalo Bayou is no Riverwalk.
NIOSA > Art Car Parade so says LeBron.
Not earth shattering news but the Spurs are expected to offer Anderson the qualifying offer which is around $4.7MM.
I just got an update from ESPN on my phone that was titled Kawhi for Lonzo?
Get the **** outta here with that nonsense.

Got that as well. Laughed and immediately deleted it. Some of these stories are just out there.
Pop vs Big Baller

Pop might murder Lavar
Pop would cut off his own pecker before he'd enter into any relationship with the Ball family.
Their trade was:
KL+Joffery for Deng, Ball, kuzma
To Philly:
KL+white for Covington, Fultz+#10
To Boston for Kyrie and picks
Or
KL+Patty for Gordon+ Rozier
To heat:
Kawhi+Patty for
Dragic, Josh Richardson, Justice Winslow & Bam
To Raptors
KL+Gay for DeRozan, Anunoby, siakam.
To Portland:
KL+White for CJ+picks

If the worst case scenario happens and we end up having to deal Kawhi, this is the only one of those trades that I like.
Draft is just over a week away, and unless something blows up between Kawhi and Pop between now and then, we're gonna keep our #18 pick. IMO the Spurs will target a wing player with (potentially) Kawhi, Green, Anderson, Manu, and Gay not being around longer. There are quite a few interesting 3 and D candidates that could be available that low.
Kevin Huerter, Zhaire Smith, Troy Brown, Khyri Thomas, Lonnie Walker, and Jacob Evans are all projected to be around in the range that we're picking. I've been a fan of the tools that Troy Brown possesses and I like him, but Huerter has really been growing on me. Great shooter and passer, solid rebounder, and a good enough athlete and smart enough to be a decent defender. The shooting ability instantly translates and I think he'd be smart enough to make an impact pretty quickly. Pop rarely plays rookies a whole lot, but in a second unit that really struggled to space the floor he's fit in nicely.

I feel like for me to like any trade with Boston, I want one of Brown or Tatum. Younger, probably higher ceiling than Hayward.West Texan said:Guitarsoup said:

Noticed in that article that the expectation is 1-2 years left of Pop coaching the Spurs.Iowaggie said:

Few in his orbit expect Popovich to coach the Spurs beyond the 2020 Summer Olympics, and there always has been the possibility that he could spend the 2019-20 season traveling around the NBA and across the globe
None of those trades are even worth considering. Let's just offer KL the supermax and force a team to really deal to take that on.
That's what jumped out to me as well.Pumpkinhead said:Noticed in that article that the expectation is 1-2 years left of Pop coaching the Spurs.Iowaggie said:

Apparently, Pop, Timmy, and Kawhi are in NYC right now. Hopefully this thing gets done soon.

Timmy
On one hand, Hayward is a good player. On the other hand, Kawhi annihilates him on both ends every time they get matched up, which makes it very difficult to favor a trade where Hayward is the centerpiece.
If Pop/Chip Engelland thought Fultz could be fixed, I could be talked into
Fultz + Covington + TJ McConnell + 10 + 26
Kawhi and Patty
Fultz + Covington + TJ McConnell + 10 + 26
Kawhi and Patty
I still think when healthy Kawhi has Top 5 player in the NBA, possibly even as high as 3rd behind KD and LeBron (not in that order). Hope that everyone can mend things over and we can move on. We shall see what happens!
Only an idiot would trade Kawhi. Period.

If Kawhi doesn't want to be here, your other option is to just let him **** out another year then walk away with nothing. Yes , that's the much more intelligent decision
Yeah, I much prefer everyone to work it out and him stay here, but if he doesn't want to be here then the Spurs need to trade him and get value back.
Maybe I'm old fashioned. But if I am in charge Kawhi isn't traded for anything less than an all nba player. If he leaves in free agency and takes 60 million less then so be it, I can sleep at night. I wouldn't want to be the GM who traded Harden, or Shaq, or Kyrie for what amounts to a hill of beans.

So you'd rather get nothing at all? There's not a single person here who is advocating trading Kawhi. However, if he makes it clear that he doesn't want to be here and will opt out after this coming season, then we better have a GM that will get us the best pieces we can possibly get. No one swaps All NBA talent for All NBA talent. You're looking st solid young prospects, draft picks, or possibly an All Star caliber type player.
