The Spurs know you don't trade an All-NBA caliber player without getting an All-NBA caliber player in return.

When the All-NBA caliber player currently on your roster is adamant about leaving and has only one year left on his deal, you may not have a choice.

There are only two trade scenarios where I see the Spurs parting with Kawhi

Popovich might be the type to just sit on Kawhi for a year

Huge Manatee

Ultimately, it's the organization that will decide Kawhi's fate

Isn't Pop in charge of personnel?

Huge Manatee

6/18/18 11:12am

No. That's RC Buford

donnerstag

6/18/18 11:14am

The NBA website lists Popovich as Head Coach/President

Huge Manatee

6/18/18 11:24am

Yeah, like the admin/ owner would let him do that

Kerbouchard

6/18/18 11:15am

Well they've already eliminated fourteen trade partners by saying they won't

Huge Manatee

I feel like really only Boston or Philly can make that deal anyway so 🤷🏻‍♂️

What if Portland offered CJ Mcollum and others?

Huge Manatee

6/18/18 11:33am

Sure I think all those are a discussion. But not sure a deal would ever get done

6/18/18 12:21pm

And I really think only a couple teams are trying to move up their window

This actually isn't a terrible option for SA

CaliWG

6/18/18 11:36am

How does that work out for SA?

Huge Manatee

6/18/18 11:38am

Sorry, I was thinking he just wouldn't trade him

CaliWG

6/18/18 11:44am

Well Kawhi has just said LA is his preferred destination

Huge Manatee

6/18/18 11:50am

There's no way Ainge sends Hayward and Brown

donnerstag

6/18/18 11:10am

That package isn't enough

CaliWG

6/18/18 11:14am

If the Spurs won't trade him to Western teams

how often do teams EVER get value for superstars in the nba? never. NEVER.

Kyrie set the bar last year for disgruntled players

6/18/18 11:20am

Hmmm.....I dunno, Brown is a nice piece, and the Kings pick is gonna be good...

BoiseBlue

6/18/18 11:34am

Covington and Saric are average players

donnerstag

6/18/18 11:37am

I agree that Brown is the best player in that Grouping, although I think you are

BoiseBlue

6/18/18 11:49am

I'd like to know what the Sixers think of Fultz at this point

CaliWG

6/18/18 11:49am

I think they would include him in a heartbeat - more interesting question is

BoiseBlue

6/18/18 11:54am

No one would sign with Boston because they traded a top 20 guy for a top 5 guy?

You tell Kawhi you are sending him to california.

monkeycowboy

6/18/18 11:13am

Even the Kings aren't dumb enough to trade for him

donnerstag

6/18/18 11:14am

Have you met the kings office or seen how the organization is run?

monkeycowboy

6/18/18 11:18am

They've been slightly better the last 3 years or so

He's also coming off a serious injury

donnerstag

6/18/18 11:18am

and refusing to play after being cleared puts a red flag on him for other teams

Hinta

6/18/18 11:20am

It would be awesome if they kept him and just benched him the whole year.

8man

6/18/18 11:19am

Yep. It would cast a huge negative shadow on Kawhi's career
