Ball could even be sent to a 3rd team in exchange for another asset.


I don't think LA would even need to add picks. They are giving away everything to add him in that scenario. If I'm the Spurs, I do that and run. Rebuild on the fly and still compete.

Spurs have been reported that they will not trade with rivals for Kawhi. It was in an article or statement somewhere. Then the rumors of Knicks Porzingis for Kawhi came up because spurs love Porzingis

Popovich meet Noah

Watch Joakim become all star again

I think this is the only way deal works. Maybe lesser players could add up to Noah

Jackson cutting his hair to a more basketball friendly style is a sign of dedication!

Love it

Well I am not sure it was an issue like Eldrid.

Dedication to me would be shooting shooting shooting this summer

Mid range

Didn't Chriss also cut his hair? I thought I saw that he got a new doo too.

I'm onboard with Knight.

Lets see him with Igor, there was also a lot of talk from Brandon about how his perspective has changed after his knee injury -- often times that type of talk is hollow... but who knows?

Haha

Aside from the big pick, the real impact will be who we sign. Who do we pair up with Ayton on the front line... I’ve no confidence in Bender or Chriss at PF...

Would Randle be an effective add ?

Who do we add with Doncic? Randle agaiN?

Julius Randle is a jumper away from being an all-star. That being said, this team cannot really add more non-shooters.

Still.. The air resistance occuringbon that hair during a game especially when he's running holds him back an extra 5 percent. Accounting the moment created on his forehead as he stands over 6 foot 8... Is a lot of force lol


I'm confident JJ works hard on his shooting... The guy has the Work ethic as shown throughout th3 season. He's improved so much in a short span of time that's a symptom of hard work.

Knight and JJ are the two wildcards this season. If one significantly improves their game we’ll be a much better team. If both do, we can make the playoffs. I’ll proceed with cautious optimism.

The only two? What about Bender, Chriss, and then there is the draft pick and free agents. This team could be HUGELY improved.
