Kawhi wants out of San Antonio

[flyerhawk]

You're right. That was completely unrealistic. This one might be better:

Seems legit

I prefaced it all with IF the Spurs want to re-build.

2 top-10 picks in a good draft is not a bad way to start a re-build, and I'm not sure a one year rental of Kawhi and 4 years of a $20M Aldridge is gonna fetch much better than that. And Parsons will be off the books at the perfect time for a re-build.

Again... this is IF the spurs want to go "the process" route.

They don't have to, with Aldridge they are a good enough team to stay competitive if that's what they want to do.

...and would leave Cleveland with nothing next year except Aldridge.

They would get two young player, two high draft picks (could be stars) and they would shed around $30M with salaries not counting draft pick salaries. Make it happen Altman

Keep those homer glasses on, bro.

They arem't getting Leonard and Aldridge for that. The draft picks are the only good part of that proposal. The Spurs wiould laugh them off the phone.

Seems legit

...as long as the Lakers get this one...

It must be favor of the Spurs, as the Lakers would lose 3 more games according to ESPN.

And another ship lol

Not likely.

And another ship lol

With the right moves I can see the Cavs going 0-82 next year. I mean how are you today?

The funniest part was that was posted by a Celtics fan.

I wonder if he's ever heard of Red Auerbach? lol

LOL. All this speculation and they haven’t even been talking to SAS

 

[Shanemansj13]

Not likely.

With that unrealistic trade there is no doubt they would be favorites

If Pop is ready to retire and the Spurs are thinking of rebuilding at all, here's a trade idea:

Spurs get #4, #8, Chandler Parsons, Jordan Clarkson, & Cedi Osman

Grizzlies get #18, Kevin Love

Cavs get Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge

Jesus.

Spurs get killed there. Cavs get way too much.

Fair return for Memphis though.

They will throw in Hood too lol

Here's the best deal I can think of to move Kawhi. Some team might need to throw in an additional second round pick or so, but for the most part it's straight up based on players. Who says no?

The hilarious part is that this deal only increases the warriors projected wins by 7.

Add a superstar and 2 near elite modern big men and only gain 7 wins.

Because there's only 82 games. A 7 win jump from already being the best team is gigantic

And those win projections are stupid. On the same trade it's projected to have no effect on the Spurs. Trading Kawhi for Iggy and Bell.

I don't remember the Warriors having the best record this year, strange....

I get it.

Just think it is funny. Speaks to how good the Warriors already are.

They didn't - The Lakers were in third place one year they won with Shaq and Kobe - just because a team has the best record, doesn't mean they will be the champions or the best. The best knows how to lose games for the benefit of the playoffs

not bloody likely...
