Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2717907, member: 488"] I would have said it was crazy six months ago or even two weeks ago to refuse a Brown or Tatum for Kawhi deal, but yeah, with the way those two have played, there isn't much reason to believe there are more than a handful of players in the league with more value considering age, contract, and talent. That said, it isn't as if Kawhi is 32. He'll turn 27 in June and is a year younger than Hayward. Although I can appreciate the loyalty factor, I'm skeptical that A) Ainge wouldn't jump at the chance to make that deal, B) Stevens wouldn't get over it very quickly, and C) It would have any impact at all on their ability to sign free agents moving forward. I do agree with you that a big should be their priority. Plus, this particular hypothetical is kind of pointless since the Spurs aren't trading Kawhi for a dude who just snapped his leg in half.
