    Rockets can honestly trade away Capela, Aderson, PJ Tucker and a future 1st for KL and maybe the Spurs would budge

    Chris Paul
    James Harden
    Kawhi Leonard
    Trevor Ariza
    DeAndre Jordan (for cheap)

    Still Keep:
    Eric Gordon
    Gerald Green
    Luc Mbah a Moute
    Nene/ Black

    No way. Kawhi is damaged goods. His injury is only getting worse.

    I think he will be in and out of the lineup for a while.

    A healthy Kawhi would make the Rockets favorites to win it all. Only problem is a healthy Kawhi may not exist anymore. For that reason you pass on him

    I think it's balonie. I think he's fine, just pissed SA is too conservative. This is of course full disclosure with medicals.

    Spurs would never trade Leonard.

    But he could seriously leave in 2019. Morey is definitely on the look out.

    Morey should be slapped on sight if he gave SA the better/healthier player

    Hope he leaves and goes East so Harden doesn't have to deal with him 4 times a year and in the playoffs.

    Capela is gonna be a FA and Anderson is gonna make 20M next year. Goodluck convincing SAs to do that deal for a low first rounder.

    Anderson is averaging less than 10 ppg and shooting only 36% from the 3 right now. He is also old, injury prone and is not a good rebounder or defender. You really think Spurs would trade away Kawhi for him? Lol

    It has everything to do with every trade or signing target. If its trade the salary need to match, if its a signing we have to free up space.

    The only way a trade for Kawhi works is either you give up half the team or the Spurs take Anderson.

    If we hadn’t signed Anderson are you suggesting we would have used his money on someone that the spurs would be interested in trading Kawhi for?

    Here's a trade for you...

    Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon to the Cavs for Kevin Love and Isiah Thomas

    Because like any deal for a 3rd star , Ryno's contract would be the bulk of the salary matching as that's the only contract on the books big enough to make those deals work that we would be willing to move.
