Would you trade this year's first for Kawhi?

Again, we just trade for him with an extension and medical clearance. If he agrees to sign the extension with us, he wants to be here. And he got the medical green light.

No one knows what happened with the Spurs. I just know that he got medical cleared by the Spurs but looked like shit when he came back. Maybe he thought the Spurs rushed him to save the season and risked his health with that...

I'd do it if he was the final piece to the puzzle, but he isn't.

He would be a major step because with our cap situation we have 2019 and 2020 max cap space again and its just a much better sales pitch to other FA to join Kawhi/DSJ/Barnes/Rick...or in 2020 to join Kawhi/DSJ/2019 FA star...

And again, our division rival isn't going to be doing us any favors. It would cost an arm and a leg to get him if they'd even deal with us at all.

They will go for the best value. If they dont trade him they probably know he ends up with the Lakers anyway. Dont see it relevant for them where in the west he ends up...
