Those young players did very well last year, add LBJ to that mix and heck yeah I would say that they are a top tier team in the West. They have the best player in the NBA.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Screamin A is also reporting the Spurs/Lakers have been on the phone twice today and plan for a third call tonight.
Spurs want the house: multiple draft picks, and multiple young players. Lakers say Kuzma is off limits, don't want to give up three draft picks(didn't mention Ingram specifically though). The Lakers mindset is that Kawhi wants to be in LA so they are willing to wait til next offseason if the Spurs remain unreasonable from their perspective.
Well at least Lebron won’t make his finals record worse now.

Though on the flip side, Stephen is also saying many executives and insiders think Kawhi may sit out the season if he isn't dealt.
So with the 4 year Lebron deal and the Spurs only having one year of Kawhi before he can walk for nothing, they definitely have less leverage than they did an couple hours ago.
Yeah something like that sounds about right. The key to me would be to make the 2nd year either guaranteed or a team option.
No way in **** I give Cousins a 2nd year player option that he can just opt out of after finishing rehab with us then have the ability to just walk to the Lakers next year. I'd rather just guarantee the 2nd year and then do a 3rd year team option.
The only way this would work is in a 3 team trade. I tried to trade machine it but they already added Lebron to the Lakers. Here is my idea:
LA sends:
- Lonzo Ball to Cleveland
- Julius Randle to Cleveland (via sign & trade)
- Deng to Cleveland
- Ingram to San Antonio
- Hart to San Antonio
- colection of picks to San Antonio
LA gets Back:
- Lebron via sign and trade
- Kawhi
- Also, this allows them to sign boogie and Caldwell-Pope before the trade.
That leaves the following LA team:
Lebron
Kawhi
Boogie
Caldwell-Pope
Kuzma
+ whoever wants to play for the minimum
I think this would be like 2-3 mill short on San Antonio to make it work, but it is close enough to start with. Although extremely far fetched
