– Teams concerned about Kawhi’s representation. It’s an uncle and a football guy but no one with an NBA track record GMs can trust. GMs cannot go to ownership with confidence Kawhi will or won’t re-sign because there is no relationship or history with his reps.

— Woj contradicts recent Kawhi/Clippers reports. Says the idea of going to Clippers and head to head with Lebron and potentially being dwarfed by that does not appeal to Kawhi.

— Suggests the days of “godfather” trade offers are over because teams value draft picks and cheap contracts more than ever

— Talks about 5th year option not being the advantage for small markets that the NBA hoped it would

— Marks doesn’t think Spurs have the leverage they think they do. They suggest offers might improve if Spurs allowed interested teams 24 hours to talk to Kawhi

— Woj says Sixers may have more medical info on Kawhi than the Spurs because their doctors have more access.

— Woj doesn’t think any party has the stomach for it but admits that the only way to increase value of trade return would be if Kawhi proves he’s a top 5-10 player again on the court


Kawhi is gonna be in Spurs training camp and playing there during the season.

And if the Spurs lose him for nothing next July, they have cap flexibiliy next summer

I fully admit that I am spinning this...

But the Spurs won’t lose Kawhi for nothing.

If LA gets him next summer, it will have costed the Lakers a year of Lebron’s career — on top of what they will pay him.

:mjgrin:

They can trade him for cheap young talent/assets and still have flexibility. Spurs are playing this wrong, it's hard for me to believe he makes it to training camp. Spurs have tried everything and he hasn't changed his mind yet, there is just too much out there in the open now where he has to be traded. If Kawhi's uncle wasn't trashed by the media and Spurs did help that narrative, it would be easy to make amends.

They still have Team USA training. If kawhi doesn't punk out, then he and pop are gonna be in the same room at the same time without his bytchass representation

@Miggs @FireDwaneCasey Bobby Marks theorize that the Raptors should have a package including DeRozan for Kawhi :patrice:
I know this might sound like a roll of the dice, but if I’m the Raptors, I would pick up the phone and tell Spurs GM R.C. Buford that he can choose a package featuring DeMar DeRozan. Yes, I get that you’d be giving up three years of DeRozan for Leonard’s expiring contract. But let’s face it: Toronto is third in the East pecking order behind Boston and Philadelphia. With LeBron out West, I would take a chance on Leonard if he looks healthy. Add Danny Green’s $10 million contract to Leonard, and a deal for DeRozan works.

Not likely to happen, but would DeRozan, Wright and two 1st round picks for Kawhi and Green would be a starting point imo just based on salaries
