Again, a 0.4 Vorp Oladipo on what was perceived to be a bad contract at the time and a rookie -1.2 Vorp Sabonis is what closed the deal last year. No Anunoby. At best, a 1st gets thrown in.

That was perceived as a very bad deal at the time. It's worked out fantastic, but the Pacers were absolutely hammered when that went down. Trust me, I'm a Pacers fan lol
I think it would be OG instead of Poetl and a 1st as well. The rumored packaged they were seeking from LA was insane (though, of course, they were asking for all that because it was LA).

That could work as well. JV ($16.5MM) + Delon ($2.5MM) + Richardson ($1.5MM) + 1st rnd pick

Richardson is still on the roster? lol.
Spurs would probably look for something more than JV plus Delon, since the pick would project to be bottom 5.

Indeed he is, or at the very least, his cap hold is.
I'm certain they are looking for more, and its unfortunate that their most valuable asset isn't worth more given the current contract situation.

The issue is that if they were willling to take a package of the quality of JV+Delon, there would be a half dozen other teams that would be interested and could conceivably make a similar offer.

It’s basically all in and hope Curry or Durant get injured throughout the playoffs.

Delon would be interesting for the Spurs considering Parker and Anderson are gone. Not a lot of perimeter shooting between him, Mills, and Murray, but that’d be some really good guard defence.
Ibaka and Powell have bad contracts and the salary won’t offset. You’re basically trading Wright and a 1st plus two anchors for arguably a top 5 player in the game.
Spurs aren’t making that deal.

I hope you’re right regardless. It has been a long time since the Raps had two top 15-20 players on the roster at the same time.

Maybe a poor choice of words on my part lol.
It was one year away from happening at that point though...
Like, what are we talking about here?
Still not convinced the guy won anything. I need proof.

Hang on where is Duncan? Ginobli? Parker? Pops?
He definitely didn't win that on his own. He didn't put that team on his back like other great champions did he?

Who are those great champions? Lebron didnt either as he had Irving
Durant didnt either as he had Curry and Thompson
What are you complaining about?

Exactly! People need to realize that you can't win in the NBA unless you have 2 star players minimum. So the argument that Kawhi didn't win on his own or carry his team is invalid.

True very true. Not complaining just trying to understand how good this guy actually is. Sounds like hes the real deal. I'm just not ready to trade DD or Lowry for him on a one year deal. Add him to Lowry and DD, then we are talking. Don't believe he will be as good without both. Just personal opinion.

To put into perspective how dominant Leonard was in the 17 playoffs
These are his numbers
TS%: .672
PPG: 27.7
RPG: 7.8
APG: 4.6
STL: 1.7
TO: 2.2
PER: 31.5
Diff ORTG: +22.2 (like please admire this stat)
-Took care of business against a good Memphis team in 6
-Beat a Harden led team in 6 (very good team btw)
-Small sample size but the Spurs were dominating GS in game 1 when Kawhi got injured and the rest of the series is history
I'm glad Kawhi was brought up today so we can admire how amazing he is
