Kawhi wants out of SA

[dviss1]

The NBA is by far the most boring pro sport in the US.

I guess when fat guys can play baseball that makes it not a sport then.

It's CERTAINLY more exciting than that.

Only baseball highlights are exciting.

Given Kawhi's strange health issues and unlikelihood of staying in Portland, I wouldn't offer CJ. But I'd offer San Antonio the chance to unload a lot of bad salary and these players certainly fit their "culture". (Obviously throw in a pick or two and maybe even Zach, but only if Kawhi's health checks out.)

The only thing more laughable than believing this trade could happen, is Hollinger's Analysis of what would happen if it did. The Blazers get one of the best 2-way players in the game, replace Ed with Pau and Shabazz with Patty and only win 1 more game. Hollinger hasn't worked for ESPN for over 5 and a half years. They need to update their trade analysis algorithm.

Kawhi ain't going to turn down a supermax deal. This is all just noise by his agent so the Spurs don't try to offer him less due to his injury.

He will be a Spur next season.

If Shams and Chris Haynes both say that Kawai wants to be traded then he most definitely will not be on the Spurs next season... they are two of the most reputable sources

This is where Neil’s decisions the past couple years come to bite us in the ass. Imagine if Neil played his cards right, the package we could offer San Antonio for kawhi. Can’t compete with what Boston would give up or even the lakers. This could easily be a super team situation with the lakers giving up their young guys for kawhi and then grabbing pg and Lebron. I honestly could see that and that sucks.

"League Sources" is code for Kawai's agent.

Doesn’t matter... damage is done when these guys report it as fact... I’ll bet any amount he will be traded

 

[Cippy91]

Kawhi ends up in Boston or LA but I’m gonna call that he ends up in LA with the super team of him, pg and Lebron. Lebron wants another ring. Kawhi hasn’t gotten one and neither has PG. it just makes sense

Also Shams and Haynes aren't sources, they're reporters. Reporters have sources but are not considered sources themself. If this is confusing, replace sources with sauces.

Okay, I will bet you a Jake and Coke that Kawhi will be on the Spurs next season.

If 2 or more of those clowns head to LA then we might as well trade Dame AND CJ for picks.

Cause we have zero chance of winning anything for years.

(Not really..but it would make me that angry!)

I think CJ, Collins, and a 1st would rival any package... and if another team gave up more then that I wish them good luck

It’s a good package but the lakers can offer their pick and guys like kuzma. Boston can offer brown and one of their picks. Kawhi is also technically a one year rental coming off an injury but regardless still a franchise player

 

[BigGameDamian]

Another Boston trade that sort of makes sense for both sides:

How about this?

I don’t think anything Lakers can offer is as good as the Portland package... and Boston would be foolish to trade a younger version of Kawai to pay him supermax

The Lakers have...Los Angeles. That's what he wants.

If we got him we would be gutting the team to get a 1 year rental. He could be damaged goods (?) or he could pull the same thing he pulled in SA.

I also think Dame would be able to find out if he wanted to come here.

Amick isnt a bad source

 

[BlayZa]

i cant see a superfriends in the west - they probably all need to go east coast so the league has something to market in the finals.

but the lakers have some interesting pieces and a lot of cap space...

im kinda hoping illadephia gets the nod.

Key word is third star. So I wonder if that means they would be willing to part ways with CJ or they plan on keeping him. Or if they think Collins or nurkic could be a star. I don’t see how we can get a third star without having to get rid of CJ.

Could just mean they pick up the Aldridge crumb. But now with so many teams interested in Kawhi, were in a good position to take on unwanted salary in exchange for a first.

That is a really fine sandwich.

There is no question in my mind that this Dane Carbaugh guy has no actual knowledge of any such phone call and completely made that up. Why post made up shit? Must be practicing to run for President.

This is why I hate twitter. Any idiot can post anything they want and if enough other idiots retweet it, it becomes accepted as fact. Our country is currently being run by one of those idiots.

You could have just stopped right there and been equally correct.

Dude, WTF??? Kawhi won a ring and was Finals MVP just 4 years ago!

ummmm I think every one who read that tweet knew that was a joke....
I dont think San Antonio are that into bunk sandwich fans.........................................

He obviously won’t end up here, not even worth thinking about it. I just hope he doesn’t go to Lakers along with LeBron and George as this would basically deem the league pointless. The only meaningful games of the season would be West finals between them and Warriors.
