Yeah deciding on hunting or fishing = a never ending internal struggle. Thankfully there's such a thing called Cast and Blast!

Now Jabari is saying Kawhi would not sit out if he remains on the Spurs. Kawhis camp must be conceding defeat.

Always hold out hope that things can be repaired, because Kawhi wearing silver and black is the best thing for the franchise.

I wonder which picks

What picks does Philly have? Theirs will not be worth much if they add Kawhi, and especially if they add Lebron.

Is there any scenario where the Sixers get Kawhi without Simmons or Embid? I don't see Fultz being a good trade.

No chance the Spurs get Joel or Ben

Do they really need Simmons with Kawhi and Lebron? I bet they'd part with him to get Kawhi if Lebron commits (on condition he'd be playing with Leonard)

Fultz
Kawhi
Lebron
Saric
Embiid

Lebron and Chris Paul are banana boyz. So what.

I've sort of lost track of what reasonable value is any more, but Philly has a lot of players I'd like to see on the spurs.

Bron can't get the max and play with Paul. Pretty big deal

All of LBJ's titles have come playing with a guard that can create for LeBron and score on their own.

Trading Simmons and his rookie contract for Kawhi makes little sense for anybody but maybe the Spurs.

Nope. Embiid and Simmons are untouchable. Fultz in a deal, along with other pieces, is best we can hope for.

With a lineup of embid Simmons and wussy leonard

You would be lucky to have 10 games where they all played

So why consider a trade? I don't see the benefit for the Spurs

Conversely, San Antonio conceding an 8th place finish or worse the next 5 years for anything less than 3 picks in the late 20s and a couple of really solid players for Kawhi only makes sense for teams other than San Antonio.

I doubt the Spurs threw out an offer of Covington/ Saric plus 3 picks for Kawhi and Philly said no. If they did then at minimum Philly is insane and I'd really question the Spurs angle there.

Because if PATFO legitimately believes that keeping Kawhi is detrimental to the team, and there is zero hope to convince him to stay long term, then you weigh that with the value being offered.

I don't expect them to take pennies, but fultz, Saric, a few first rounders (preferably the Miami one), maybe some salary fillers is not a bad trade for a very disgruntled star with one year remaining. Especially if we feel we can fix Markell's shot. He was the #1 pick for a reason a year ago.

Simmons and Embiid are cornerstones to that franchise. They're young, cheap, and improving. And if the goal is Lebron, trading Simmons is counterproductive. They seem to be close.

If Kawhi isn't willing to commit long term to Philly, I guarantee you Philly told the Spurs to pound sand.

So basically take it in the teeth and get a pat on the back? Why not send his ass somewhere else? Wouldn't it be better to send him to some **** team for several of their first round picks so we know we'd get a better pick next year?

Where? The Lakers and form another WC super team for some fairly meh prospects also? Clippers for even worse prospects? To trade, we need someone to trade with. Right now, seems our decent suitors are LAL and Philly.

Who from philly is worth anything other than the ones their not willing to trade?

No one. Which to me is why you force Kawhi to be a man and come back. If he's traded, Spurs lose. If he leaves next summer, Spurs lose. Take your chances that he matures and doesn't want to leave $50 million on the table

Who from anywhere is worth a healthy Kawhi that teams are willing to trade? That's the problem when trying to trade a disgruntled top 5 guy.

Philly has to be willing to trade Fultz. Saric is nice, but nowhere near enough to be a centerpiece.

Of all the options I think this one is best. Granted I don't know much about basketball other than I love the Spurs. I'd be tempted to say screw you kawhi. You have a contract and you're gonna live with it. Be a ***** or make the most of it and try to win a title.

So do we get the "Godfather" deal now or does lakers wait until next year for kawhi?

I think the Lakers will wait. Now Philadelphia doesn't have as much of an incentive to offer a lot for Kawhi. I think we keep Kawhi this year.

When is the deadline for his max extension?
