    Dang, two future HOF’ers?

    Maybe you can throw in a testicle too. Or do you just not value skilled white players?

    I do this deal without thinking to be honest.

    Hart (plus whatever) for Butler. In a heartbeat. Before the body hits the floor. We’re talking about Jason f@#king Ki- ... excuse me... Jimmy f@#king Butler. You guys really want to wait and see if Josh Hart surpasses Jimmy Butler?

    I like Jimmy. Not quite the pure shooting threat I would prefer, though.

    Butler fits exactly what the FO has done this summer, but I don't expect him moved until February.

    Going to be an interesting year. The only sure bet at the moment is Kawhi wants LA. Could Kawhi be PG Part 2? I doubt it.

    Jimmy Butler would be a nice back up next year but I think the Lakers believe Kawhi is their guy. Kawhi's game is what would prolong Lebron's career. Kawhi is just getting into his prime and is Scottie Pippen with more tenicousnesss from the defensive side.

    Lebron could play another 3 or 4 years of prime ball if he has Kawhi and BI and Kuz develop into stars.

    I hope the Lakers have some Intel that Kawhi is coming here regardless next year. If that is the case, we are set.

    I'd much rather have Kawhi than Butler but if the package needed for Butler is significantly less and we can retain some of our young players I'd be all for it.

    They are both fantastic secondary stars that play solid D. Kawhi is recognized as the better player, but now both have had injuries. Hard to pass on either one depending on the price. Rumors are Jimmy Buckets wants to join Kyrie in NY though, but that could be totally made up.

    What are the chances Kawhi stays with the Spurs for one more year?

    Kawhi is also a better 3 point, shooter, defender; but I love Jimmy.

    I've also seen Kawhi on the biggest stage and shine. I'll take that.

    He's the guy we want...period. If he's available for a reasonable price via trade or by FA, we have to get him. Period.

    We can't miss.

    Let's see if Kawhi blinks at 221 million. :D

    Or if the Spurs even offer it. Injuries, trade demands, and a crappy uncle and agent? Not very "Spurs way".

    I would be very surprised if the spurs offer it. After all the backlash and media circus this caused I'm sure they want to move on from Kawhi as well.

    i think this whole thing started because SA was being non-commital on the super max. it's only soured from there, so i'd be shocked if it's offered.

    i DO think they'll make an offer at above the max he can get elsewhere, though, just for optics.
