Kawhi Update Thread for 3!!!

[truth18]

Hearing Kyrie is totally on board for Kawhi joining the Celtics.
The Celtics pitch to Horford, Hayward and more recently to Kyrie is that ownership, management are committed to building a tire winning team. A healthy & engaged Kawhi gives Boston a better shot at raising banners.
Team feels like they don't HAVE to make a deal here, but that making a deal puts them in that 08-10 type place where they are HEAVYWEIGHT contenders

Fixed.

until we hear ainge publicly say "no player's untouchable" there's no reason to believe he's not involved.. he definitly has a gambling issue

Since when does Ainge gamble? Every trade he has made has been a slam dunk. The biggest "gamble" was probably the Kyrie trade and it seems safe to say that that worked out pretty well.

Yep. If Ainge had a gambling problem those assets would be long gone by now.

I take this to mean that Kawhi is getting multiple texts from Kyrie, HAyward, Hortford recruiting him to pick the Celtics.

I mean why wouldn't Hayward, Irving and Horford board with KL though?

[BruceBanner18]

If the outcomes are either to Boston in a deal without Brown (or other core ) OR to LA with LeBron we can't lose...

[canman1971]

Ainge probably has a couple versions of a package with anyone but the obvious, including Brown. Now he's just sitting back and waiting.

All I have to say is, man do I love this time of year.

I get absolutely nothing completed at work

I love Kawhi and enjoy every moment when he was at SDSU. Right now I’d stay away from him because his uncle has changed who he is and how he does things. Until his uncle is out of the picture I wouldn’t trade any proven players for him.

[TheTruth316]

Any trade for that clown Leonard is dumb. He is a head case. Spoiled entitled with talent..... And gms are supposed to pony up all their assets, cause of what was..

[CelticsLV]

I called it few days ago, Woj is working as Spurs mothpiece in this whole thing. Stein reports that Spurs are ready to move on from Leonard while Woj says there's no rush and they are ready to fix situation and offer supermax. Woj says that SPURS are fully engaged while Celtics reporters (Bulpett) saying we are far from anything serious. I will just ignore Woj in this one until he reports about actual trade.

I have never doubted that you are sourced up, but I think you may be missing the forest for the trees on this. Really doesn’t matter what the Spurs or Celts brass or Celts players think. For us to make a legit offer, Kawhi is going to have to commit, which he is not gonna do. The rest is just noise, IMO.

Lol... Yeah, only if you think winning championships is dumb.

Remember when we were stupid for not acquiring Paul George for all our picks?

How's that working out for OKC?

Or for Jimmy Butler and his chronic knee issues.

Good times.

Remember when we paid too much for Kyrie?

Heck, I thought we paid too much for Kyrie at the time. But that's why Danny is a real GM while I post on RealGM.

I'm working from home. Played some PS4, and planned on working after beating a stage or two. And then the Woj bombs hit. Have only read 3-4 emails.
