That Kawhi trade is the stupidest trade I've ever seen I mean even Ingram and a late first wouldn't be enough but then to think Spurs would take that Luol Deng contract on as well? You guys have less than no idea
The spurs have no leverage here. They are either gonna take it or get nothing. Kawhi even said he will sit out the longer they wait its gonna get even worse for them.
JohnFromWV there is no way on earth they're going to take that Luol Deng contract, it's a disaster, the Spurs would be better off trading Kawhi to Philly or Boston for a one year rental then to give up Kawhi and take on the Deng contract
THey may not take that contract but there not gonna get as much as they are wanting for him and the longer they wait the less and less its gonna be. They probably lucky at this point if they could get Ingram and the only reason lakers make give them ingram is to get rid of that contract so if the spurs dont want it they lakers will just waittill next year.
JohnFromWV and you think a team like Boston wouldn't just give them 1-2 picks if that's how cheap it will be? What about the clippers, you think they won't part with tobias Harris and a mid first rounder if that's all it costs? That Deng contract could genuinely stuff up their chances to get a free agent of their own next season
I'm a Lakers fan, but youre nuts if you think Wolves would accept that package for Towns. You're also nuts if you think the Lakers would resist adding Ingram to that trade. Even with Ingram, the tride is one-sided. Towns is, with Cousins, probably the best big man in the NBA.
Can't see Celtics giving up JB for Butler nor do I think it's much of an upgrade with Kyrie and Hayward back he'd be underused. I wanted them to trade for him before they signed Hayward but don't see the point other than potentially making Kyrie stay longer but I don't think they should march to his beat.
That Cavs Trade saves Cleveland soo much money and its not that bad. They go from a bad cap situation to a manageable one. They would be under the cap by $4 mill. Cavs can start over with money to spend and portland get a third star to help dame and CJ just saying might not happen but im sure it was discussed.
Kevin Loves contract is nearly 13 million dollars more expensive than E. Turner's. The Blazers are already over the cap!!! No way that trade goes through. They can't afford it.
Wesley Chan what about Jimmy getting exposed?? Jimmy was awful and no one is calling him out, KAT had really good las 3 games against the Rockets, he had first two very bad games, yeah, but he ended being their best player as most of the times.
Big men are "journey men" after a few seasons in today's NBA. It is a shooter's league. Players that can shoot from the outside and guard multiple positions are the sought after these days; not 7 foot post up players that can only get 9 rebounds in 36 minutes!
I think the Lakers should actually do both trades and get KAT and Kawhi. A lineup with Ball/Rondo, KCP, Kawhi, LeBron, and KAT, this is a team capable of matching up with the Warriors.
Here are my trade ideas for Kevin Love. CLE receive Jonas Valenciunas + Norman Powell + 2019-1st round pick (+ 2019-2nd round pick maybe?) TOR receive Kevin Love OR CLE receive 2019-1st via UTA, 2019-1st via NOP, Alexis Ajinca, Jonas Jerebko UTA receive Kevin Love NOP receive Alec Burkes, Jae Crowder, Ekpe Udoh + 2019-2nd via CLE Dan Gilbert finally gets out of the luxury tax for the first time in YEARS and start to rebuild. UTA get a beautiful 4/5 combo in Rudy and KLove NOP finally get a starting SF, a scoring combo guard on an expiring deal, a reserve center and 2nd-rounder
Hey Rubenstein, Please stop with the ridiculous Kawhi trade ideas to LAL. even worse when you you say this is what the Spurs want!!! C'mon man BIngram + Deng and 2 #1. dude I am sure the Lakers offer is already better than that with JHart in there too and the Spurs along with other Execs in the know have said it's a pathetic unworkable offer and that's with JHart in there. so 1- REMOVE DENG + ADD KUZMA for a total of Ingram + Kuzma + Hart + 2 or 3 1st rnders and that's what the Spurs want whereas the Lakers would surely bend on adding Hart and removing Deng but the sticking point is always Kuzma. It's going to take the Lakers to truly believe that the Spurs have a trade in place with the Clippers for them to add Kuzma ... maybe the compromise is adding Kuzma but force Spurs to take Deng's contract too. of course if some money needs to go the Lakers way then something insignificant value wise gets added going from SA to LAL just to make the money work. but please fellas stop with the ridiculous trade ideas involving the Lakers. at your current pace the Lakers will win the NBA championship every yr if they pull off all your proposed trade ideas ... Warriors Celts and Rockets could never compete in your NBA world ,, maybe you guys play NBA 2K too much
Jaylen Brown is 22. Butler is 28. Not sure about that trade. Lakers - I'd trade Mo Wagner, and Josh Hart and the pick for Anthony Towns. Not Kuzma and the rest. No way. Love works with Portland. Lakers - I probably would make the trade for Leonard (IF HEALTHY) for Ingram, Deng and One pick. Not two. Also, the Spurs were a 7th seed in the tough west WITHOUT Leonard. So by adding Ingram, they're better.
Jimmy Butler Will Sign Because hes on the record saying he wants to play with Kyrie Irving, if BUT you would Have a Commitment From Kyrie verbally before Aquiring him.
That KAT trade is farrrrrrrrrking horrible. Wagner, Hart, Kuzma, 2019 1st for a 22 year old All Star Center? Stop it. Thibs loathes young guys and I can't remember the last time he had a shooting big besides KAT on a roster he coached. Maybe Carlos Boozer? LOL I think some research is needed because I dont think Thibs has had a legit shooting big. Maybe Taj/Boozer from mid-range but never a three-point shooting big. The Kevin Love trade doesn't really work for anyone. For POR, can you imagine the amount of defense played with a line-up of Lillard-McCollum-Aminu-Love-Nurkic? 3/5 can't defend a soul, Nurkic is so-so but Aminu is solid. CLE get Turner's ugly contract for a 2020 pick? The Cavs are essentially sending an All Star PF for a kaka shooting guard (who cant shoot), a raw athletic big in Collins (struggled shooting last season) and a late 1st. POR need to do better than that. Don't talk about the Kawhi trade ever again. You keep undercutting SA. Its one thing to use leverage but its another to include Deng's contract. Id laugh you out the door. A top 5 (arguably top 3 player) player for a potentially good SF, an old dude and two late 1sts. Get rid of Deng, put in Hart, I might consider it.
Interesting choice of words. I can see you are of low intellect incapable of having constructive conversation. So I don't take offense because I expect someone of such low mentality to speak in this manner.
Magic understands winning and he understands that KAT is not a winning player. I live inside Magic's head so let me just tell you that Magic will not even trade his cat for KAT.
Magic Will Fix It bullshit! Put him with the right pieces and you'll have a winner instantly, remember Jimmy only won 31 games his last season with Chicago, was he a winner that season? With a good team and in a weak conference and he leading the team and only got 31 wins!!! I think people are overreacting on Towns playoffs performance, the guy it's been in the league 3 years and has done nothing but great, consistency, a unique talent.
Magic Will Fix It same shit he only won 41, less than he won with the wolves and in a weaker conference with a team full of talent and with a much better bench than the wolves. KAT just played his third season and he's already a superstar in the NBA who is improving both, offensively and defensively just like Jimmy did offensively, Jimmy was only known as a defensive stopper when he entered the league and did not blossomed as a good offensive player útil his 4th season which is just the same season KAT is about to play next.
KAT is an offensive machine but ive seen guys like that before that have a losing mentality. Trading Wiggins might be a good first step to see what you really have in KAT.
Magic Will Fix It ohh man! sorry but you're the kind of fan that doesn't stop to see the facts and just follow the narrative, KAT was a part of a 38-0 team in college, a ROY, had an all star second season with 25 and 12 y very high efficiency numbers, Allstar and all NBA 3rd season, a vocal leader for his team who is always talking about winning and getting into the playoffs, talking on changing the defeat Coulture in Minnesota and you're saying he has a Loosing mentality!!?? Really!! A guy who clearly improved his defense this past year! (still has work to do) KAT is a beast, a winner and you'll all see...his time hasn't come yet but it will, he's only about to enter his 4th season and he's only 22, mark my words.
celts could/should be the next trade super-announcement, behind that guy's and boogie's. and lakers are still losing ch'ip next two years, not even conference. lbj crying how he can dust gsw off his team-damaging ass, lol. lakers is doing now what cavs did midseason, but on steroids, but it's proportionally the same. awful, no thinking-head on that love is very underrated, veeery might go on league history like that you imagine him on gsw? lol, and lbj wishing it was him, LOL
I'll be the first to say it hell given the reports the lakers front office seems to agree it will be a cold day in hell before they trade Brandon Ingram. It's just not going happen and given the lakers just added rajon rondo I think they sent Lonzo ball the message they're ready to get rid of him and his puppet master dad lavar never shuts up ball. And anybody that thinks lebron james is going to put up with both of them 😂 you're delusional cause now lebron james is the GM and whatever he wants he'll get. and if lebron james wants Lonzo ball and his puppet master dad lavar never shuts up ball gone then they'll be gone. If I was magic Johnson I'd give up whatever it takes to rid the team of Lonzo ball and if I'd have to give up some draft picks to sweeten the deal then I'd do it. Either way the lakers main focus should go to the spurs and say well give you multiple picks and Lonzo ball for kawhi Leonard take it over leave it. Cause either way they're going to lose him no matter what next off-season cause it's clear he doesn't want to be in San Antonio anymore.
Lebron James signed a 4 yr deal and has zero leverage to be GM, he trusts Magic to make the decisions and he only came to play with Zo. Magic only came back to draft Zo, so if you think Magic will ever trade Zo, you dillusional!
Young Buck name 5 two way players better than Kawhi that played the wing. You can pick all-time. Kawhi is a generational talent. There’s Pippen, Jordan, Payton, Kobe, the list gets thin from there. Get my drift. Lock down defenders that can score are a premium, particularly in this day and age when nobody wants to play D.
What NBA player is most likely to be traded this offseason?
Kevin Love to the Blazers
BRAY3185 * for who
Butler 2 Chicago
Kevin Love to Phx
kawhi
8:25 looking at larry nance's photo LMAO
Macky LOL 😂
Macky LOL I noticed too lol
Hahaha !
I Love that photo.
Looking like that Nance Jr is underpaid lol.
That Kawhi trade is the stupidest trade I've ever seen I mean even Ingram and a late first wouldn't be enough but then to think Spurs would take that Luol Deng contract on as well? You guys have less than no idea

No I think the spurs are being idiots and wont accept it and are gonna get squat. Thats my entire point.
All those trades are AWFUL. They all make no sense. Especially kat and kevin love.
these guys are tards
Yep these guys are talking for the sake of it.
I'm a Lakers fan, but youre nuts if you think Wolves would accept that package for Towns. You're also nuts if you think the Lakers would resist adding Ingram to that trade. Even with Ingram, the tride is one-sided. Towns is, with Cousins, probably the best big man in the NBA.
Stitch8 nah Towns is a defensive liability and choked against Kapela, Kapela is better than him.
Indeed /s
Ibnziyad Tariq ....... Damn you got a point
Stitch8
KAT is not up there with Boogie.
Joel embiid is the best now
Lakers want motivated dudes. Not guys slacking on D with a lackadaisical attitude that's making Butler want to leave.
What is the name of the track at the end?
Can't see Celtics giving up JB for Butler nor do I think it's much of an upgrade with Kyrie and Hayward back he'd be underused. I wanted them to trade for him before they signed Hayward but don't see the point other than potentially making Kyrie stay longer but I don't think they should march to his beat.
That Cavs Trade saves Cleveland soo much money and its not that bad. They go from a bad cap situation to a manageable one. They would be under the cap by $4 mill. Cavs can start over with money to spend and portland get a third star to help dame and CJ just saying might not happen but im sure it was discussed.
Lenord,Love,Walker,Butler
Kevin Loves contract is nearly 13 million dollars more expensive than E. Turner's. The Blazers are already over the cap!!! No way that trade goes through. They can't afford it.
Kat trade is awful
KAT got exposed in this last Playoffs, I think that hurts his value.
Agreed, I don't know why the wolves would ever do that, even with another unprotected high-end 1st rounder.
Wesley Chan what about Jimmy getting exposed?? Jimmy was awful and no one is calling him out, KAT had really good las 3 games against the Rockets, he had first two very bad games, yeah, but he ended being their best player as most of the times.
Kat is gonna be HOFer lol. That's a bad trade for the wolves
Big men are "journey men" after a few seasons in today's NBA. It is a shooter's league. Players that can shoot from the outside and guard multiple positions are the sought after these days; not 7 foot post up players that can only get 9 rebounds in 36 minutes!
2 kat is 2019 free agent and lenard too
I think the Lakers should actually do both trades and get KAT and Kawhi. A lineup with Ball/Rondo, KCP, Kawhi, LeBron, and KAT, this is a team capable of matching up with the Warriors.
Here are my trade ideas for Kevin Love.
CLE receive Jonas Valenciunas + Norman Powell + 2019-1st round pick (+ 2019-2nd round pick maybe?)
TOR receive Kevin Love
OR
CLE receive 2019-1st via UTA, 2019-1st via NOP, Alexis Ajinca, Jonas Jerebko
UTA receive Kevin Love
NOP receive Alec Burkes, Jae Crowder, Ekpe Udoh + 2019-2nd via CLE
Dan Gilbert finally gets out of the luxury tax for the first time in YEARS and start to rebuild.
UTA get a beautiful 4/5 combo in Rudy and KLove
NOP finally get a starting SF, a scoring combo guard on an expiring deal, a reserve center and 2nd-rounder
Jbrown for butler is fair they are similar players but jimmy butler would be more conference finals ready still doing nothing against the warriors
LOL? JBrown and Tatum carried their teams what are you talking about?
As a Celtics fan, I would much rather we kept Jaylen Brown as a career Celtic, along with Jayson Tatum.
Wolves would need Tatum and Brown for Butler, also we would NEVER trade KAT unless we are getting LeBron back in return
Hey Rubenstein, Please stop with the ridiculous Kawhi trade ideas to LAL. even worse when you you say this is what the Spurs want!!!

Warriors Celts and Rockets could never compete in your NBA world ,, maybe you guys play NBA 2K too much
Please upgrade the video quality
Yeah, pretty awful
Why isn't Al Farouq Aminu on Balzers bench??? A.F.A and Seth C. the best players on the bench for the Blazers.
Jaylen Brown is 22. Butler is 28. Not sure about that trade. Lakers - I'd trade Mo Wagner, and Josh Hart and the pick for Anthony Towns. Not Kuzma and the rest. No way. Love works with Portland. Lakers - I probably would make the trade for Leonard (IF HEALTHY) for Ingram, Deng and One pick. Not two. Also, the Spurs were a 7th seed in the tough west WITHOUT Leonard. So by adding Ingram, they're better.
What about Kevin Love for Saric and Chandler with protected (top 10) 1st round pick
as a Wolves fan. . please no
Jimmy Butler Will Sign Because hes on the record saying he wants to play with Kyrie Irving, if BUT you would Have a Commitment From Kyrie verbally before Aquiring him.
Kawhi to lakers
You to me beautiful.
That KAT trade is farrrrrrrrrking horrible. Wagner, Hart, Kuzma, 2019 1st for a 22 year old All Star Center? Stop it.

Lakes will not give up kuzma!! this is trash 🤦🏻♂️
Big KAT's interior defense is HOT TRASH 😢😢😢.
Lakers better pay attention to the way Coach Thibs screams at Big KAT = don't trade for Towns.
Yeah the Butler trade doesn't financially so it's a very incomplete trade.
Interesting choice of words. I can see you are of low intellect incapable of having constructive conversation. So I don't take offense because I expect someone of such low mentality to speak in this manner.
Lakers Timberwolves trade makes zero sense. NBA is moving away from big men and your trade is too one sided.
Why even suggest such a dumb trade. Why on Earth would the t-wolves accept that trade from the Lakers
Lakers do need a SG... would ingram and picks be enough ?
ywnruben bro.... we have KCP, Hart, Stephenson, and even that Svi kid.. we don't need a 2 guard this year. We need a big, or Kawhi
Magic understands winning and he understands that KAT is not a winning player. I live inside Magic's head so let me just tell you that Magic will not even trade his cat for KAT.

I think people are overreacting on Towns playoffs performance, the guy it's been in the league 3 years and has done nothing but great, consistency, a unique talent.
Jimmy Butler is a two way player and they won 41 games in his last season in chicago and yes he is more of a winning player than KAT.
Magic Will Fix It same shit he only won 41, less than he won with the wolves and in a weaker conference with a team full of talent and with a much better bench than the wolves. KAT just played his third season and he's already a superstar in the NBA who is improving both, offensively and defensively just like Jimmy did offensively, Jimmy was only known as a defensive stopper when he entered the league and did not blossomed as a good offensive player útil his 4th season which is just the same season KAT is about to play next.

You guys giving Kevin Love to much credit he is not that good and if anybody touch him he's injured
TO PELINKA AND MAGIC, GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT....LETS HAVE A GREAT SEASON 2018🇺🇸👍🏀
KAT smokes wayy too much Pot.. Thats why Butler wants out
I'll build around KAT 100 times instead of Butler.
TOM N HARRIS WHAT UP LETS GO BABY NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS AINT NOBDY GONNA STOP LAKESHOW BABY ALL WE GOTTA DO IS BEAT GSW
Bro wtf happened to brook Lopez
Towns is worth twice what these guys are offering. Not realistic
Kevin love to the warriors..
Trade k love to the wizards for kelly oubre and Otto porter
Stop with speculation
Just imagine if the lakers would've never gave Deng that stupid ass contract
Celtics look like a future NBA champ.
2 KAT
Lackers
Horrible predictions.. and FYI Lonzo ball is over rated, Id trade him in a heart beat.
ADD INGRAM, THIS IS A FOOLS TRADE FOR MINNESOTA, A GOOD DEAL FOR THE LAKERS
Mo Wagner is a better shooter by far than KAT.
They ain't getting kawhi this year
hell no that Kevin love trade is dumb
WTF 😑 lakers wolves trade for KAT
Kawhi will go to Philadelphia
lakers wouldnt even make the playoffs with that lineup, nobody can shoot 3s
Harris the son of nick wright
low for KAT
Do you two listen to what you are saying...
Trade butler for picks, you aint winning the Western Conference in the next 2-4 years.
celts could/should be the next trade super-announcement, behind that guy's and boogie's.
and lakers are still losing ch'ip next two years, not even conference.
lbj crying how he can dust gsw off his team-damaging ass, lol.
lakers is doing now what cavs did midseason, but on steroids, but it's proportionally the same.
awful, no thinking-head on that
love is very underrated, veeery
might go on league history like that
you imagine him on gsw? lol, and lbj wishing it was him, LOL
Lonzo , ingram , deng and two first round pick for kawhi
2
Brother dont get me wrong im lakers fan but kawhi trade it s joke
Spurs dont get deng contract ;☝️spurs:ıngram,hart,2 first round, lakers:Kawhi
All of these trades are actually garbage
Karl Anthony Towns will make the Lakers competitive against the Warriors despite Boogie Cousins.
I'll be the first to say it hell given the reports the lakers front office seems to agree it will be a cold day in hell before they trade Brandon Ingram. It's just not going happen and given the lakers just added rajon rondo I think they sent Lonzo ball the message they're ready to get rid of him and his puppet master dad lavar never shuts up ball.

Ingram is better than kawhi.. better not trade him.. and kuzma is better than Tatum..
Lucker Loyd what?
:-D iam Lakers Fan but wtf are u Talking kawhi Could take out Durant of The Game
Ingram has KD potential. Kawhi has reached his peak.
Young Buck name 5 two way players better than Kawhi that played the wing. You can pick all-time. Kawhi is a generational talent. There’s Pippen, Jordan, Payton, Kobe, the list gets thin from there. Get my drift. Lock down defenders that can score are a premium, particularly in this day and age when nobody wants to play D.
S C Why you acting like I said Kawhi aint great. But Ingram potential is something thats hard to give up. Especially when you can have both next year.
