Stephen A Smith: Spurs offered Kawhi for Porzingis 

Post#1 » by DowNY » Sun Jun 25, 2017 7:22 pm

So I was listening to the Stephen A Smith show earlier from Friday & he started to talk about some of the things he was hearing "behind the scenes". Most of us heard about this alleged 5 team trade that was being discussed, where Cavs would've acquired Melo & Paul George. That's at the 29:16 mark, but according to "his reliable sources" there was another big deal mentioned.

At the 32:18 mark


Supposedly the Spurs called about Porzingis & even offered up Kawhi Leonard in the deal, willing to rebuild with KP. Supposedly the Spurs backed out at the end. Thoughts?

If this was discussed already in another thread, my bad, there's so much going on in different threads that I can't keep up. :lol:

I'm absolutely not clicking on a SAS video, but if the Spurs offered Kawhi (slim chance), then that shows KP''s value and we should be happy AF.

Exactly it's even more reason to keep him. Also means the Spurs know GSW will run the NBA for a while.

Not even gonna bother to listen to that moron, but let me guess, after saying Phil was incompetent for listening to Offers for KD, now he is incompetent for turning them down.

Spurs offered Kawhi :lol: :lol: :lol:

Dude skipped his pills.

Same Stephen A who said the KP trade rumors were engineered by KP in a Machiavellian plot to get Phil fired?

SAS sounds like Tony Montana right before the Skull blew his head open

Seriously, he might really be hearing voices in his head. Stephen A, please take your meds. Please.

SAS doesn't have sources. He's the same guy who said his sources were telling him the Sixers were going to take Josh Jackson when the whole world knew they were taking Fultz.

If we got Kawhi for KP, maybe that helps us in FA, but outside of that, we are still a 1st or 2nd round exit and with a player who is 5 or so years older. I'd prefer to stay young and see what we can build.

OMG Poppovich tried to trade his best young player. Who does that? He should be fired.

We're keeping KP. As we should.

But what's up with this 5 team trade? Where was this being discussed?
WTF Post of 2017:

If Phil pulled that off, I would put a put a paper bag over my head, paste a picture of Jeannie on it, poke a hole through the mouth, and give Phil the best BJ he's ever had in his entire life.[/quote]

I don't believe SAS, but just the fact that Kawhi Leonard was even in the conversation makes me rethink trading KP for Josh Jackson & Jaylen Brown & young picks+assets.
