    I don't understand this quote out of context. Is he saying that "HEY THIS IS SOMETHING POSSIBLE", or is he saying "HEY, THIS IS AN ACTUAL THING THAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED BY SOMEONE IN THE NBA"? Speculation vs informed rumor? Very different things.

    San Antonio receive:
    Jimmy Butler
    Eric Gordon

    Houston Rockets receive:
    Kawhi Leonard
    Gorgui Dieng

    Minnesota Timberwolves receive:
    Ryan Anderson
    Danny Green
    Future 1st from Houston
    Future 2nd from Houston

    You should have proposed this trade Zach Lowe. At least everyone wins in this transaction: San Antonio remains a solid team with Butler and Gordon in the backcourt; Rockets get a replacement for Ariza at the starting SF spot; Minnesota finally has capable 3 point shooters on their team.

    This comes out a day after I called a guy an idiot on fb for thinking this could happen.

    I will gladly apologize to that random stranger.

    No way we walk away from a Kawhi deal with Capela still on our roster.

    Except the part about Kawhi leaving in 9 months for LA and the Rockets using their only valuable trade chip on a one season rental trying to work himself back into shape.

    What if he's traded here plays the I'm not ready card? I don't trust him.

    Not even if he gets back Jimmy Butler and Eric Gordon? I can see where inclusion of draft picks would be needed but Butler is better than anyone that the Spurs have been reportedly offered by the Lakers, Sixers or Celtics already.

    Would you make that gamble if it meant getting an 80% healthy Kawhi that could put us over the top against GSW even if it was just a 9 month rental? I would.
