Posturing. They don't want to sound desperate, so yeah that's their company line. But they know they have to trade him sooner than later. The offers get smaller at the trade deadline than before the season, ask Vlade about Boogie.

Yeah, it's likely this Kawhi thing gets drawn out. Unless ol' Danny boy throws Tatum and either the Kings or Grizzlies 2019 pick at them. Then it would go down now. That being said, the Spurs are no dummy organization. I'm really curious to see what they deem to be the wise move.

That being said, the Spurs are no dummy organization. I'm really curious to see what they deem to be the wise move. Pop probably thinks he can still salvage the relationship. He probably told Kawhi "I'm not trading you. I'll never get equal value for you." Same thing he told Aldridge. Problem is, the team and the organization would be better off in the long run had he traded Aldridge. This team is not a contender anymore and the sooner he realizes that the sooner they can rebuild. But, he's out of here in a year or two so he might be stubborn enough to try and make it work for one last hoorah.

They may not get equal value but at least trading Kawhi would definitely be worth their while if he's gone anyway. I kind of understand not trading Aldridge because they may have only gotten spare parts and an unimpressive draft pick for him. Convincing him to stay was probably the right move but maybe not with Kawhi.

That's fine. It makes it an easier decision for us. Keep our youth and try to get Leonard later.

If the Spurs were being level-headed and realistic, they'd be fielding serious offers before the draft today. The fact that they are not means they are too butthurt to be realistic. Pop still in 'I would veto the Gasol trade' mode.

That way they revisit the trade in Feb. That's IF we have LBJ and PG13 in tow by then. It could be a good pitch for Lebron: 'we don't have Leonard yet but we have a trade ready for Feb now that he's playing for ____ and not re-signing there.' Chess moves.

I believe that would be considered "tampering". I'm not saying that that kind of stuff doesn't happen, but the Lakers probably wouldn't engage in stuff like that in fear that the team they say that to would rat them out.

Hmm, I kinda view it as a delayed three way trade. There's a thin line between 'savvy' and 'tampering'.

According to woj, the Lakers and Spurs are talking again and working towards a Kawhi Leonard deal.
Please Magic, don't let Pop go balls deep when he rapes you.
