My #1 trade would be to Boston for Tatum, Rozier, Morris, filler and the Sacramento 2019 pick.

LA for Ingram, Kuzma, Deng and picks could work except it creates the ability for LA to bring in Kawhi, Bron, and George.

I've heard Sacramento #2 and Bogdan Bogdanovic and the Spurs take Luka. Maybe we could force CauleyStein in to play C.

---

One of my favorites I've seen (although I don't see this happening): Spurs, Cavs, Grizz

Spurs get George Hill, pick #4, and pick #8

Cavs get Kawhi and Chandler Parsons

Memphis gets Kevin Love

Money works out, we get two top ten picks, Cleveland has something to offer Lebron to stay, and Memphis unloads Parsons awful contract and get someone to pair next to Conley and Gasol.

---

The Cavs absorb a worse contract, lose Love and give up 8 to get a 1 year Kawhi rental with little cap relief... no way in hell they do that.

---

I already said that I don't think this happens. For the sake of playing devils advocate... OKC gave up Oladipo for a one year rental of Paul George in the hope that they could convince him to stay. If the cavs thought that getting Kawhi would convince Lebron to stay, and perhaps playing with Lebron could convince Kawhi to sign an extension.

What's the percentage of him being dealt to Phoenix or sac for the 1 or 2 picks and some players? Herschel walker him.

Is this more or less the same situation that we had with Timmy wanting to sign with Orlando back in 2000?

Maker
LMA
Middleton
Murray
Brogdon

Plus I would love to see Giannis and Kawhi, until Kawhi cries himself out of Milwaukee.

--------------

Kawhi+Gasol for Tristan Thompson+Jordan Clarkson+#8. Cleveland gets Bron to stay and they have Love+Kawhi+Bron. Bron doesn't hurt his precious legacy by jumping to create another superteam.

---------------

Kawhi + Gasol to Phx for
#16
Josh Jackson
Tyson Chandler
filler (1y of Jared Dudley, unguaranteed of Alan Williams)

Chandler (Who pop has wanted for a long time)
LMA
Josh Jackson
Green?
Murray

#16 & #18. Maybe try to put together something to move up for Luka. Phx gets to build around Booker, Kawhi and #1.

Apparently Memphis is dangling the #4 pick for two years of Chandler Parsons at 50mm.

Manu opts in and retires
Manu+Pau+Brandon Paul for Chandler+#4 (Luka)

Rebuild time

Paul is unguaranteed.
Pau is owed 23mm over two years, but it could be stretched to five. So 4.6mm/ year.
Manu gets 2.5mm to retire.

Memphis saves around 26mm over two years and if they stretch Pau, they gain about 16mm in space this year.

Or they can go with story of bringing Pau back to Memphis and reuniting him with Marc.

If the keep Pau, they still save about 5mm this year and 20mm next year.

Great deal for both teams

Well, apparently, the Spurs won't trade Kawhi to a team in the west...

Peter Vecsey: Combined with the incontrovertible fact that Kawhi's placid personality is a perfect fit in San Antonio and torturously unfit to cope with the media madness of Los Angeles and New York even Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and Miami I'm convinced a reconciliation is imminent. The fact Kawhi is building a home in San Antonio for himself, and one, I'm told, for his mother, somewhat bolsters that conclusion though athletes' custom-made residences certainly don't guarantee an iota of permanency.

In a cell conversation yesterday with Kawhi's fringe friend (see above car quote), my first words were ones I've often promoted: "You know, I'm only as good as my source. What can you tell me?" Enough so that I'm thoroughly disinclined to believe Kawhi and Pop can't patch things up, predominantly because their relationship isn't in need of a large patch. From what I'm told, they've never exchanged harsh words or gone off on each other. A single problem existed last season that would not go away: Kawhi's caregivers and doctors felt his repaired quad wasn't entirely healthy when he returned 28 games into the season. After nine, some very effective, minute-monitored games, they insisted he return to rehab.

But there is a reason they're called 'team' doctors, and not players' doctors they're paid by the team. "The media made it seem as if the Spurs and Kawhi's people weren't communicating. Like they didn't know where he was and how things were going," my source said. "They were in constant touch. I think Pop made Mitch wear a helmet cam. "The Spurs had their opinion regarding what should be done. Kawhi's people disagreed. I don't see any reason why both sides can't move forward together."

It was from a Peter Vescey an article from Patreon. Came up on hoopshype.

The article is titled 'Kawhi Leonard Trade Report Sounds Bogus, Reunion with Spurs likely.'

Although that title in itself sounds bogus.

There are a ton of other deals out there that Memphis could do with 4 and Parsons that destroy this deal.

How many teams want to destroy $30mm of cap space eliminating their ability to sign a good FA this year or next on Chandler Parsons?

Somehow I picture the New York Knicks raising their hand to a question like this.
