If we made several other moves...maybe... we'd need to move pau, mills, have gay and Danny opt out.
Okay.

Spurs with Kawhi as everything currently stands are at 98M in salaries as of now (not counting the free agents/cap holds). Cap is at 101M.
If you assume Bron wants his max, SA would need roughly 34M in cap space. So without getting complicated and assuming SA trades with BOS, SA would need to move about 32M (Because they can trade Kawhi for some less money back than he currently makes).
So trading Pau and having Danny/Rudy opt out and let go would do the trick (amongst other cap gymnastics that SA controls with cap holds and draft pick salaries etc..)
If the Spurs move Kawhi to Boston and in return get Brown and Tatum, Brown would be replacing Green correct? So letting Green go would be fine.
Danny is going to be interesting. I don’t know what his market is going to be in a tight 201& FA market and coming off a not so good season. He might opt in, at which point I’m sure spurs shop his expiring before Feb 2019.
Would rather have Derek (Loyalty) Anderson than Kawhi at this point

I’m 90% sure we would not get both.
It would likely be one of Tatum/Brown + Rozier & Marcus Morris (to match salaries) + Kings 2019 Pick + Memphis 2019/20 Pick.
Well then, we don't deal with Boston. Ainge can shove it up his ass. I want both at a minimum.
Celtics resting Jaylen Brown![]()
The autistic will force us to trade him where he wants. If we want to trade him to Boston, his agent will call them and say he won't resign next year. Rinse and repeat until we trade him to california.
Worked out well for Paul George.
Can we somehow get George and Tatum? That would be my dream scenario
Sure - just pretty damn unlikely. Getting Tatum is the easier part if SA is willing to trade Kawhi. It’s getting PG to sign and trade or sign out right (and the moves it would take for SA to get cap space).
Just assume at this point, nothing is on the table for signing Free Agents using cap space unless both Rudy/Danny opt out. IF that happens, then there is potential for cap space. Especially if that happens and Mills or Pau is dumped for less salary than they make.
No, but the Lakers can get George and Leonard.
He loses $35M the minute we trade him. If he walks from Boston at the end of next year, he loses ANOTHER $40M. He’s not got a lot of leverage in this.
Good luck with that. They better focus on just getting Paul George. Could you imagine a player of PG caliber saying he wants to go to LA then you let OKC trade for him and he doesn’t sign with you??? That would be a disaster.
Why on Earth would anyone want PG13? He’s more of a beta than Durant.
The minute he gets traded to LA he'll get a $100M shoe endorsement. He's got all the leverage in the world.
The thing is, LA could have traded for him last year. They had better assets at the time. They used those assets to create cap room, a very dicey commodity.
What I would love is if LA signed both PG13and LeBron and left Kawhi with no landing spot. His price would SKYROCKET.
He’s already a DPOY and FMVP, and Jordan brand is only paying him $5M per year. Do you know why? He’s got the personality of a drug store wooden Indian. Market size has become nearly irrelevant in the age of social media. Besides, Boston has as much or more cachet than the Lakers.
I would trade Kawhi for Brad Stevens straight up..
D Rose is making $11M per, and he has the personality of whataburger Patty melt.
No business wants anything to do with San Antonio. That's why a 5x champion never got the respect he deserved.
Thank god Kawhi is surrounded by smart individuals.
I'd trade bronze medal winning Poop for Aron Baynes tbh.
The Celtics are in the 2nd round with their you core.. WITHOUT THEIR 2 STARS!!!! Why in Sam would they trade away thst for a quiter or injury prone mute who's uncle controls him talking to management!?! Not to mention giving up picks too.
It feels like the best theyre gonna get is that Clips deal, Harris and their 2 picks. Leonard’s uncle can just say, nah, only place he’s extending is LA, so we’ll wait it out until UFA.
