If we are 9 or 10 do you trade out

Think we need to be considering some of the guards and not write them off yet.. Where we might be picking, talent wise, they may be a clear tier above next talent level. Guys like Sexton, Alexander Young etc compared to knox. Fit is terrible, but id rather pick up another gaurd and move someone than get a sub par talent that will compete with say Jackson for a bench role at SF in a year or two.
We can run a 3 gaurd 2 big lineup or Small ball Temple or Jackson at the 4....we force other team to go to their SF 1v1 throwing them out of rhythm while we light them up from 3. Jackson and Temple would be used against Durant and James but id expect we would be killed hy those teams regardless.
Young Mason
Bogs Fox Jackson/Temple as needed
Hield
Skal Jackson/Carter

Let the Lakers mortgage their future for Kawhi. If Kawhi leaves SA a major piece is his perception that SA cannot recruit. Well, he’s the star and it’s on him to do the recruiting. We just traded a megastar who couldn’t/wouldn’t recruit. I’m not interested in repeating that, for a one year rental, BTW.
I am not interested in Kawhi at the steep price. First round pick this year is the most I would offer.
He is at his height of the value right now with Spurs system and memory of injury free performance.
Combining that he did have injury and that Spurs players rarely achieve anything similar to what they did at Spurs once they are out of the system, I think that his contribution will be significantly lower than what folks expect.
He is a very good player, but not shoe in all-star once out of the Spurs system.

A player who could be on the trade block is Klay Thompson. GSW will be in tax hell and Klay will get the max they’re already gonna have to pay Durant the max and Steph has it as well. With Green becoming a FA season after Klay they’d have to chose Green over Klay. If we aren’t in the top 6 picks I’d trade the pick and Hield for Klay.
And in mid July when Lebron leaves Cleveland I’d follow this love by trading WCS/Skal for Kevin Love. Bam we’re a playoff team with young pieces still growing

Look, I like Kawhi, but if he wanted to be in a situation like Sacramento then he would quit gold-bricking it, get back to work in SA, and be recruiting his Team USA teammates to the Spurs non-stop. That is not what he wants, apparently. If he leaves its because he would rather stay his same reclusive self, make a little more endorsement money and pay a lot more taxes in LA, and let Magic and the Lakers hype machine do all the team building for him. We don’t need to mortgage our future for that type of dude.
Also, no star has ever left this iteration of the Spurs so we cannot really be sure he will be the same in a different situation. The gentleman’s point stands for all other homegrown players who left the Spurs.

Fox, Buddy, JJ, WCS, our pick (3-8) might be enough to outbid other teams scared to lose him.
Go into free agency building around Kawhi sign Avery Bradley and Hezonja.
Don’t make me laugh those non defenders aren’t better than Kawhi and when the whistle stops in the playoffs Harden will disappear like usual.

Weather Kawhi is top 4 or 6 player doesn't matter he can be the best player in the league any given year. I get how the guy has been out all season but I guess people easily forget. Not only is he a top offensive player he's arguably the best defensive player in the league.
Phoneix has said they are open to moving their pick for veterans, maybe they make a move for Kawhi.

You've traded away your youth. You have one year to succeed. The following year he has a player option. He leaves, you start the whole cycle again. Screw the short cuts, they haven't been good for the Kings.
Wait a year and prove you have something going. The team will have salary cap room. If he wants to come, he'll come. If not, he won't. And yes, I know the history.
