Ainge is cold blooded, but it just isn't a good business move to trade a player one year removed from free agency.

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

CaliWG

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

donnerstag

6/18/18 11:11am

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

6/18/18 11:26am

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

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

donnerstag

6/18/18 11:17am

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

Kyrie set the bar last year for disgruntled players

donnerstag

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
