Vegas is giving Orlando 4th best odds to get Kawhi. Ummmm

If I'm reading that right, isn't that 4th best?

that Pop may want to send a message and send Kawhi to a losing team.

As I mentioned in another thread it's absurd, BUT we have turned a corner if we have odds! What I think is more absurd is that the Celtics have less odds than the Magic.

you're right. I was too confused, excited, dumbfounded about why we're even listed.

Vegas knows what I've been saying for years. Fournier and Vucevic are the kind of players that Pop LOVES.

I don't even believe that but I'll entertain it.

Vuc/Fournier + 2020 pick

How much do you give up for him, knowing he'll leave next summer?

Wow, not sure how I feel about that. A player like Kawhi is inticing but the guy is upset playing under one of the greatest coaches of all time and has specifically requested to be traded to LA.

Under what rationale would he be okay with being traded here?

not up to him. Pop says F-U to him and his uncle. "Go play for the worst team in the east" lol

Yeah lets trade our roster for a guy who will then leave at first chance.

everyone not a part of our BIG 3, won't be included. Think I'd even give 2019 pick but that's it. 2020 pick is year after he probably leaves.

It's more to do with how they handled his injury and how pop and i think it was parker publicly made fun of him and the injury during interviews. But yeah Kawhi wants L.A and would just leave for L.A

Vuc/Fournier/JI + 2020 pick

I'd take Isaac out of that package if I know he's leaving.

If there's a chance he stays I'd take there unfavorable contracts Pau, mills and give them expiring and an unprotected first and Sugn and trade AG or give them Fournier if they prefer.

Vuc. Ross,Simmons, Fournier/AG,OKC 2020 and a first round pick (19 1-8 protected 2020 1-4 protected 2021 unprotected)

for Kawhi, Mills, Pau.

Hopefully we can be good enough for Kawhi to stay

Mills/DJ
Fournier/Frazier
Kawhi/Mario/Iwundu
Isaac/J.Jackson
Bamba/Biz/Birch

Disclaimer: I realize this is all unlikely to happen and even if it did it would also be unlikely that Kawhi would want to stay. Just wanted to have some fun with it.

if it's just Evan and Vuc + a pick where do we sign??

Maybe he likes it here and resigns....or maybe he doesn't but thats Evan and his contract + an expiring for one of the best players in the league.

Fair enough but then I would imagine he leaves first chance and we lose him + whatever we traded for him.

Dealing with unhappy uncle dennis and a withdrawn player that may say 6 words during his entire season here? lol ugh
I'd rather wait for the dust to settle and go after other people on their roster like Murray or Mills. I don't really want to get into that mess.

Not sure why Vegas even has us listed, must be a glitch or some other pie in the sky, but let’s not even entertain this. Kawhi will 100% not be a part of our team next season.

4th place is like light years away! Calm your expectations!

of course, but the fact we're even mentioned is what's crazy.
