Spurs lose quite a bit of leverage with Bron announcing before Kawhi is traded

 

[Paulius]

Bron's gonna have the best 30 for 30 someday.

Lots of loses in that 30 for 30

 

[dez]

I understand why from a roster standpoint

But what's LeBron angle in this? I don't get it

 

[Paulius]

No they dont

Now they keep him hostage until the tradeline bc they know how much lakers need him at this point

So either lakers put up a god like package or theyll sit around

The exact opposite.
 
The Lakers lost leverage for Kawhi... they'll have to give up more to get him now

how? they can flat out name their price right now

 

[Paulius]

If im the Spurs

I ask for ingram kuzma lonzo +

Then flip lonzo to another team for some other assets

 

[BNC]

No they dont

The fuck do the Lakers need him for? They got LeBron locked up for 3 years, they can wait a year and sign him for nothing

How? Spurs were holding out that the Lakers would trade him to attract LeBron, Bron is a Laker now regardless of whether or not they get Kawhi

 

[Paulius]

Ok yea sit around with lavar for a year and waste the end of lebrons prime

Great idea

Maybe by the time hes 39, lakers will finally have a contender around him

except they don't have the cap space and would have to S&T anyways... so why wait a year?

 

[Paulius]

Sign him in a year lol

Im sure Lebron will love to hear that idea at this stage of his career

 

[Paulius]

Lets not let all of this distract us from two things

- lebron will be the only great to not be able to win in Laker land

- Kawhi is still a snake

 

[Pugz]

they need to make a move before randle signs an offer sheet. they cant wait a year for kawhi anymore. its now or never.

 

[BNC]

Cuss if you can wait a year and keep BI and one of Lonzo/Kuzma it’s probably worth it. Spurs won’t get nearly as much in a S&T as they would if they moved him now

 

[BNC]

Sign him in a year lol

He’s signed for 3 years with no guarantee of Kawhi, there’s no pressure for the FO to give up the farm to get him

 

[BNC]

If the end goal is to trade for him it doesn’t matter if it’s before/after Randle signs a sheet. Also if it’s true that Randle doesn’t want to be there he might just take the QO

they will have to trade for him regardless if they wait a year. thats all we've been saying. he has to be traded to la. the spurs can ask for a kings ransom.

lonzo/ingram/picks. kuz might even have to get dealt too. did you see what they wanted from philly? with better prospects too, they still wanted more.

Like I said, no pressure on the Lakers to trade for Kawhi
