*Breaking News* Kawhi Wants Out

just saw this snippet.
As Mark Heisler of the Orange County Register reported, "It’s one of Popovich’s cardinal rules not to help Western Conference rivals, much less one with the tradition and resources of the Lakers."

Popovich, for instance, was less than pleased in 2008 when the Memphis Grizzlies traded Pau Gasol to the Lakers, a deal that helped pave the way for two titles in Los Angeles.

"What they did in Memphis is beyond comprehension," Popovich said at the time, per SI.com. "There should be a trade committee that can scratch all trades that make no sense. I just wish I had been on a trade committee that oversees NBA trades. I'd like to elect myself to that committee. I would have voted no to the L.A. trade."

leonard could very very well go to the celtics in a trade. Just b/c the celtics have a few players that fit pops system, lakers have **** all to offer in terms of this, maybe ingram, thats it. kuzma is not a pop player tbh
 
If another super team is assembled in the west which includes LBJ and Kawhi, we really need to go hard after whatever we can get using our abundance of expiring deals.

Waiting on a free agent in 2019 is just silly. If everybody is going to join up, what true chance do we have? What free agent can we really get?

2019 space is fools gold. Our expirings (Burks, Jerekbo, Udoh, Thabo) are actual gold we need to turn into a valuable pick.

Even money I think. Boston can put together the best package to get him. Boston would be just as good an endorsement city as LA due to the exposure of the franchise. San Antonio is very much in control of where Kawhi goes, not the other way around.

I'm beginning to think Kawhi's "leak" set several Plan B's into motion. Utah is one of the few teams that could conceivably do a superteam. If you want to count a superstar as a "Player you can make an argument is a top 10 type", Utah has one in Gobert and DM will be another next season. We have assets, picks, and a timeline. I was onboard the methodical approach and still am, but if Utah had to make "that move", then I understand to.

This off season is going to be nuts.
 
We can only get Kawhi if Kawhi says he wants Utah. If he does that, no other team risks all the assets for a one year rental. San Antonio then takes the best offer we can make.

I think Kawhi will end up in Boston. The Celtics have more assets to offer than anybody and I just don't see any way that the Spurs would trade Kawhi to a western conference rival, especially the Lakers.

I think it all depends on Kawhi. Ainge will put forth the best offer if Kawhi agrees to extend. Kawhi might only want to join a surefire superstar like Lebron though, and Lebron is not going to Boston.

I know it's been said, but I *so* hope he gets traded for Hayward.

All this drama just makes me want the #4 pick more. None of these teams are gonna take back Parsons and none of these teams are patient enough to groom #4.

Get #4, build it internally, beat the super teams.

I could see Ricky and Ingles being players that the Spurs would be interested in. I don't think there's a package they'd take for Leonard though.
