Kawhi wants out of SA

[illmatic99]

Portland offering up CJ and scraps.

 

[Sarni]

Find it hard to believe that anyone would have a better offer. Maybe Phoenix? If they include Josh Jackson in there that could be better than most offers Lakers could put together (unless they want to package multiple young talents).

I think a lot of teams if they wanted to, could come up with a better offer than the Lakers.

Trade rumor.
Kawhi to Philly for
Saric, Covington, & first.

I called this.

Depends on if that team wants to take on some salary dumps like Gasol and Aldridge, or Danny Green along with Leonard.

Yeah but that would include trading some assets that are considered untradeable right now - like Towns, Booker etc.

Who can take on those salaries without sending salaries back, basically using the cap space? Dallas, Sacramento, maybe Phoenix and I think that’s all.

We can absorb Green into our TPE.

Green for TPE
CJ/Collins for Leonard

Need to find a way to take back like 2-3 mil more back from SA to make that work.

That's a damn good package. And I wouldn't do it without confirming Kawhi's medicals or getting a commitment on 2019 FA.

 

[Sarni]

Boston and Philadelphia can easily blow any deal for Kawhi out of the water. I think that Boston have already put themselves out of this race though, Ainge thought he could have got another bargain like with Kyrie but it has become clear that it’s not going to happen.

Nah I think there’s no chance that we are willing to make an offer for him. We can’t possibly expect him to resign here in 2019, he wants to be in a big market pretty clearly.

I am not sure the size of the market is as important as the fact LA is home. If Pop did not piss him off he would still want to be a Spur. But either way it might be hard to resign him. Seem like everyone around him wants him in LA too.

FUCK THAT...

I read somewhere that they were offering CJ and Turner for Kawhi and Pau...

Link?

 

[riverman]

Fingers crossed because this guy is a game changer....

 

[Natebishop3]

Kawhi would be so perfect here it's ridiculous.

He wouldn't have to be the man. Dame is extremely easy to work with. Now if we could only get PG13 or LeBron to sign here, we'd be golden.

It's weird. Kawhi hates attention. He doesn't want to be the face of a franchise. But everyone around him wants him to get more exposure -- it seems like they're the ones pushing him to LA.

I don't think that's quite enough.

I'm wondering.... would Dame/Kawhi/Nurk be enough of a core to win a title? Would we need another player?

If we did CJ/Collins for Kawhi/Patty, would we have the juice to go after someone like Kevin Love if LeBron leaves Cleveland?

Pacers are targeting CJ as well...packaged also with Turner...Blazers are offered Sabonis, Bogdonavic, Al Jefferson and a 2019 first round pick

got a link to that rumor? Thx

Why would the Pacers want CJ? They have Oladipo.

And how would that work financially????

Dude, that's not a rumor. That's just a random blogger speculating. You can't freaking say "Pacers are targeting..."

 

[PtldPlatypus]

And how would that work financially????

From the link:

Indiana also has cap space (around $15 million depending on Lance Stephenson and Thaddeus Young).

The most likely trade scenario would look like this:

**This trade has to happen after July 1 for the Pacers to absorb McCollum’s contract into their cap space***

As yuyuza says below, this isn't an actual trade rumor. Just some random blogger's idea of a way to make the Pacers better.

But, to answer your question, after July 1 the Pacers have a bunch of players fall off of their cap and could likely absorb the excess salary into their cap room.

From the link:

Dang. Frickin' PtldPlatypus is always quicker on the draw.

 

[illmatic99]

so what part of I'm reading rumors all day did you not understand...….I'm not an AP news feed....every sports article has an element of Blogger speculation..even Woj…everybody is speculating...

smh. This is worse than @BigGameDamian

I don't even know where to start.

You took a fan's blog article coming up with possible trade ideas for CJ and presented that as a rumor that the team actually offered. WTF. It's not even an unsubstantiated rumor-- it's a fan article speculating that CJ would be a good fit on the Pacers. If you can't see the distinction between rumors and what you posted, I don't know how to help you.

Sounds like a Pop deal.

Sauces close to me are reporting that the Clippers are the leader in the clubhouse in the Kawhi sweepstakes, offering DeAndre Jordan, Tobias Harris, Milos Teodosic, the rights to Jerome Robinson, and two undisclosed first round picks in exchange for Kawhi Leonard, Pau Gasol, and Danny Green.

That's a horrible trade for San Antonio frankly.

Harris/LMA/Jordan is not a contender. And those picks won't be shit if the Clips get LeBron or PG13.
