Kawhi should get The Orange 's Doctor who says Trump is the healthiest living human being in the history of the world tbh.

This was the tweet I was looking for:
Porker is trying to keep up with Cody Chestnut

I wish ownership would put pressure on R.C and Pop.
I had to read that like 10 times before I got it. Getting old.
"He uses techniques so that downtime and immobility are greatly reduced." Kawhi killing non-basketball careers too.
Really Kawhi should go to Panama and get stem cell treatment for his injury.
Joe Rogan, is that you?
Faults probably is a no go for both sides IMO; Philly has invested in him and being able to keep him and see how he pans out would be a positive in a trade involving Kawhi while there is just a big question mark about whether Fultz can ever get back to his pre injury shooting form.
Covington has to be in the trade to make the math work but if you take out Mills, J. Anderson doesn't have to be included.
2 picks (10, and 26) and 2 draft rights prospects in addition to two good, youngish NBA players is a good return but there are question marks (surrounding the picks and prospects) that wouldn't be immediately answered for several years.
Boston may lowball in a offer for Kawhi, like you mentioned, because Tatum and Brown both look good at such a young age. I don't think that they would be willing to offer Tatum, the Kings and the Grizzlies picks for Kawhi
They are set up to contend for the better part of the next 10 years, at least, moving those assets makes them legit contenders now but with a smaller window.
I've been on the record saying that I prefer a potential package from Phoenix but they lost out on the Bucks pick. I would be legit curious if they ended up with the 2nd pick would they be more willing to move it and would an offer for the 2nd and 15th pick, 31st be enough to get PAFTO to at least seriously consider moving Kawhi.

I didn't expect Joe Rogan to be bought up here. What is stem cell treatment exactly? I assume it's illegal?
He brought up Joe Rogan because on his podcast a while back mentioned he had stem cell treatment on his shoulder and was amazed at how quickly and effective the injury recovered.
2nd+15th+Jackson+Warren
The issue with Phoenix selling the farm for Kawhi is that they'd only have a chance to keep him if they can get a "third" star to sign up with him and Booker. I'm not even sure that a Love-level guy would be enough to get Kawhi to stay, but even if it is, they're going to need assets and cap flexibility to get it done. , even signing Cousins would require some finagling.
I think their assets pretty much break down into three tiers:
Top -- Jackson, 2018 first
Mid -- 16, MKE pick (would be higher but it doesn't look like it will convey until 2020), 2021 MIA pick (which could be great but too far in the future to be anything other than a sweetener).
Low -- 31, Bender, Chriss, Warren
The rest is either not worth discussing in terms of value or in Booker's case, not on the table at all. They are also looking at being $10-20 Million below the cap in July, so they have a special tier of being able to absorb a Gasol, Mills or other bad deal from another team. They also have some expirings in Dudley and Chandler (and Williams if they don't waive him). It's completely feasible for them to make a win-now pivot. But they'll only do that if they can get two or three high-impact guys.
I think I'd want all three of their picks this year plus Bender and Chandler for Kawhi and Pau. Then I'd use 18 to get rid of Patty (and hopefully get 33 or 40 back). The team with four picks in the first 40 would have a ton of flexibility moving up and down the board. The team would have a decent bit of room too. They wouldn't have any vet wing to replace Kawhi, but if they draft a guy like Doncic at 2 then that's fine.
There must be a Theon/Reek reference coming on Game of Zones.
They're really going to rip that pussy to shreds when he doesn't even show up in San Antonio today/tonight to support Pop
