The Los Angeles Lakers re-engaged the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday in pursuit of a trade for All-NBA forward Kawhi Leonard, league sources told ESPN.
The stakes on these talks are enormous, because a deal for Leonard would likely clinch a free agent commitment out of LeBron James. James has until late Friday night to opt-out of the final year of his contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Spurs have wanted to find a way to repair the franchise's relationship with Leonard, but an overwhelming Lakers offer could convince San Antonio to part with its franchise star, league sources said.
quote:
The Lakers are using the Paul George and Kyrie Irving trades as proportional models for a Leonard deal, but San Antonio understands that this trade, for intents and purposes, would mean Leonard and James coming to the Lakers, and will likely command a massive package of young players and draft picks for Leonard, a two-time first-team All-NBA and two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year.
The Lakers are in no rush to sign the 25th overall pick in Thursday's NBA Draft, Michigan forward Mo Wagner, to his rookie scale deal, which would allow the Lakers to include his draft rights into a trade package, league sources said. Wagner couldn't be traded for 30 days once he signs his rookie deal.

If the Lakers know lebron is coming, they will probably let this play out a little longer. If they dont know he's coming, this is done by Friday imo

Pretty much what Pete thinks
@LakerFilmRoom
My takeaway from this update is that this will hinge on whether or not the Lakers already know that LeBron is coming. If he is, they wait this out. If they don't, I think they move ASAP

Marc Stein @TheSteinLine The Mavericks are actively exploring trade scenarios with the Clippers and former flame DeAndre Jordan in hopes of trading for Jordan this week, league sources tell @NYTSports.
Dallas trade for DAJ, Lakers trade for Kawhi. Let’s do it!

Lonald Weller-Sledge says the Lakers are tantalized by the idea of a super team and are unlikely to resist trading all their assets to make it happen

Don't want either. Need both.

Been retired for a while so not sure if I'm still doing this right, but according to a source there are two players the Spurs are open to being centerpieces in a Kawhi deal: Kyrie Irving and Brandon Ingram.

The Irving laet is interesting. I wonder how interested the Celtics would be in swapping one year of kyrie for one year of Kawhi. Dont think the spurs would prefer that over Ingram who is still on his rookie deal though
Posted on 6/27/18 at 9:46 pm to WestCoastAg
Kyrie shortlisted the spurs last year on his trade wishlist. I think he’s more open to signing there than people probably think

Ingram will turn into an All-NBA player after a few years under Pop

Welp if the Mavs get DJ and the Lakers get Kwahi I guess the Pels are getting Boogie on the relative cheap at least

Kawhi going to the Celtics is pretty much worst case scenario for Lebron's title hopes next year

Tania Ganguli @taniaganguli Can confirm @ramonashelburne's report that the Lakers and Spurs re-engaged today about Kawhi Leonard. Was told by a source it was a "productive" call.
