This assumes neither did Kawhi?
Kawhi certainly had trade value. But clearly the Spurs wanted immediate impact players and not young assets.
To be clear, I think the Spurs completely screwed up with this trade. DeRozan is 29 years old. He'll be 31 when his current contract expires, assuming that he doesn't exercise his player option. They gave up a prime asset because Pop wants to make a run now. But something miraculous happening the Spurs have gone from 1st round playoff exist to 2nd round playoff exit.
