Fultz, Saric, Bolden Rights, and 2021 pick gets it done now.
Jabari young was the guy who said it was a good meeting but more dialogue is needed but he’s the same guy who said spurs and kawhi are close to an extension I think two days before he said he wants out. A good meeting to him maybe kawhi staying firm with la or bust so Jabari can be kawhis windhorst
Fultz, Saric, Bolden Rights, and 2021 pick gets it done now.
celtics would not win any game against this team under normal conditions tbh
God Jaylen Brown is so overrated. Dude has a player efficiency rating like one point above Parker and mother ers here want to act like he's the guy you rebuild the franchise around.
I think that was WOAI's sorry ass reporting Leonard and the Spurs were close to signing a supermax extension.
he's still 21, is a great athlete, and showed a lot of growth from year 1 to year 2, and improved as the season went along. he also comes with deep playoff experience and shown the ability to play within a system...
Why I prefer Tatum and if I'm R.C and Pop, I'm not trading Kawhi unless Tatum is included
Yeah, the only way I take Covington's horrible deal is if Simmons comes with it. He's flat awful. He has three SEASONS where he shot less than 40% OVERALL from the field. Only in his 7 game debut season with Houston did he have a season where his PER was even league average 15.0. He has like 4/$47M left to be paid. DO NOT WANT.
I wouldn't trade him to Boston without getting Tatum. I'd tell Ainge Kawhi is going to Philly if he doesn't give Tatum and you gotta be willing to follow through with a threat like that. I would since Saric vs Brown is a wash, as is Miami pick vs Sacramento pick, while Fultz is a high risk high reward gamble.

True. Some posters think the extension came out of thin air. It still didnt look like the right deal to make.
Boston players are always overrated. Brown and Tatum stepped up when their best players were out, but they do have a freakishly good coach, plus no one has stated game planning for them.
Ok. So celtics beat the Sixers without Kyrie or Hayward. They add Kyrie Hayward. Sixers lose Saric and Covington and add Kawhi all of a sudden they sweep Celtics? Lol. Ok.
I agree. Tatum is nowhere close to getting value for Kawhi. But he's the only one I see who has a reasonable shot at being an A-level player. But even in that system and with all the hype he still isn't as good as rookie Kawhi was.
I like the way you think B.B.![]()
They have NO ANSWER for Embiid. He'd probably average 35/20 in a series. They have NO ANSWER for Kawhi.
Yea I think you’re right. He was the one who wrote this bs that got me excited
So he went from total bust to below average player in a year while playing in arguably the best system in the league. Kind of hard to get excited about that as a centerpiece in a deal for a Hall of Famer.
Tatum or Simmons. Throw in your best draft pick and we'll take back a bad contract.
I mean, of course you include Tatum in a trade if it means netting you a healthy Kawhi. Kawhi is close to a generational talent, someone who can rule a game on the defensive end as a wing and has freakish efficiency as a scorer. But Ainge's ass is tighter than Cameron from Ferris Bueller's Day Off and he's going to overrate who he has until his team stagnates.
Peter Vecsey: “Kawhi listened to the Spurs doctor. Did everything he was told. But when he went back to play his knee began to hurt from the stress. He was scared about blowing it out. He saw what happened to Isaiah Thomas when he played in pain for Boston in the playoffs. He got reduced to damaged goods. As a free agent this summer, he’ll never recoup the $50M-$100M he lost by deciding to play. “The Spurs knew the quad was only 70 percent,” insists my source. “Kawhi got good advice, advice anybody would give their son in the same situation, see an independent doctor.”

Peter Vecsey: Elsewhere, someone closely affiliated with Leonard’s advisers found Bowen’s words as deeply disturbing as I did. Hold on! Let’s take a time out! Why is everyone so angry with Kawhi? “Kawhi Leonard is innocent,” my source declares. “He should be commended. He did what you would teach every family member to do, keep family business behind closed doors. He didn’t even talk about differences with the organization to teammates. That’s REALLY commendable.

Peter Vecsey: Afterthought: Many believe Leonard’s reps are happy with hostilities so he’ll be traded to a big market. That’s unequivocally untrue, asserts my source. “We all think he’s better off in San Antonio.We’d all like to see him stay. But he’s the offended party. It’s his decision. Kawhi’s pulling all the levers.”

Peter Vecsey: Despite the fact Kawhi feels like the organization treated him like he cheated, despite all of the above, inexplicably, according to the source, he likes Pop. Does that mean the relationship can be rekindled? “If Pop admits to ing things up, concedes mistakes were made, there’s a chance that could happen,” the source says. “It’d be an intensely emotional conversation. Kawhi doesn’t give a about the money he’ll lose. He feels he can do what he wants. He has stability and stature now. He’s found his voice. If he doesn’t like you, and doesn’t like the way he’s being treated, he’ll find a team that’ll treat him with respect.

Peter Vecsey: Now what? “Emotionally, Kawhi has checked out of the Spurs. He wants the Lakers, even though it means forfeiting $80 million. Everyone is shocked he’d give up that much money. But when it’s emotional, there’s no logic,” said the source. “He’s an artist. When artists know they’re getting jerked, they want out no matter what the cost. He feels the organization didn’t even try to wrap its arms around him. You don’t know anyone until you go through something difficult. Kawhi got to see people’s true colors.
