They might. He would be a good fit for next year.

But the thinking seems to be that he is a trade asset.

Not sure how, the Nuggets had to pay a 2nd rounder to move him. Sounds like negative trade value.

Looney is coming back. That's huge for the Warriors. I thought he was gone for sure. This might sound crazy, but keeping Looney is probably going to have a bigger impact than the Cousins signing.

He'll get the lookie-loos because he will be an expiring contract

Sure, but I think the implication is that he will help them get Kawhi, and I don't think they're looking for expiring contracts right now. Their emphasis has been on multiple young pieces and draft picks.

Call me crazy but I think the Sixers ate better off getting Chandler than Leonard. They'd have to part with 2 nice players in Saric and Covington plus a draft pick most likely.

Chandler is no Leonard but they didn't need to land a star after the season they had.

The Nuggets saved themselves $37 million in tax payments and salary by moving Chandler. Every team knew that that.

I have no idea if the Sixers are looking to move Chandler in a deal for Kawhi or not but if they are then they could offer Chandler back as part of a deal that also includes Patty Mills.

It's unclear to me whether the Sixers are looking at making a move for Kawhi at this point. They may be. They may not be.

Pretty sure the Spurs want younger players and draft picks.

I think acquiring Chandler indicates they have moved on.....and I like Chandler for you guys.

Well Chandler would only be a piece of whatever deal they make.

To be clear it is possible that the Sixers are looking at making a trade for someone other than Kawhi as well.

True.

Not sure why.....they have a pretty solid nucleus and gained important experience in the playoffs.

If I were them....I'd stay the course and do something next summer if next season didn't end as well as they hoped.

But, losing Belinelli and Ersan does hurt a little.....

Moreso Ilyasova than Bellinelli. Bellinelli is a very replaceable player.
