Having a debate on Bucks board about Kawhi. Would Spurs do either of these trades and how close are they if you wouln't. If you would is it an easy yes? Thanks

Kawhi for Henson

Kawhi for Sanders.

I've been disappointed with Kawhi so far. He was great last year and I like his upside but I expected more from him this season. I know he's had an injury to deal with but I thought he might expand his game a bit more.

I love Sanders' game and the energy he brings.

All three guys are still on rookie deals, right? So the trades would basically be even.

I don't see us trading a guy in his second year with as much potential Leonard has though. I wouldn't part ways with him at this early stage.

You can have DeJuan Blair though, no problems.

I'm somewhat disappointed with Kawhi too because I really expected him to grow offensively this year.

His improvement in defense seems more to do with him knowing the league and getting familiar with his opponents more. But he hasn't shown me any part of his offensive game that he supposedly worked on.

But with that said, talent wise I think Sanders for Kawhi is a good deal. The problem is that it doesn't solve anything.

We've found a good partner in Tiago especially with his offensive game complementing Tim Duncan. Sanders looks to be an amazing defensive sidekick next to Duncan, but hardly the perfect sidekick because of his offensive limitation.

Also, Kawhi is basically our future SF with Jax being 35.

I'm not totally opposed to moving Kawhi, but if the main parts are Kawhi and Sanders, then I think it needs to involve Mbah a Moute or Dunleavy.

Thanks for the input. I personally would reluctantly do Sanders (and Dunleavy) for him. Others on our board said no way to either Henson or Sanders. Good luck the rest of the way, mad respect for your organization.
