Who wants Kawhi or Cousins here? At least here on RealGM, I have never seen anyone seriously wanting either of those 2 outside their prime.

3-way…
Randle, Mitch, Precious, Deuce, protected picks out…
KAT, Kessler, filler in…

Seems plausible…

I tried this on the trade and transaction board in a complicated deal with Warrior and Lauri

I got laughed off the board by non-Knicks fans thinking it’s way too light for the Knicks….

Honestly I think it’s crazy if Knicks wouldn’t do it and honestly I think they would if it was available to them

Kawhi is done in this league.

Will be out of the league within 3 years and likely a medical retirement.


Last season was a healthy Kawhi season. He played 92% of the games before the season-ending injury (68 from 74 games). He averaged 34 minutes a game and played superbly (53/42/89)

I don't know if his last injury was his last straw, but he proved he could still play at the highest level during a long stretch.


Either way having Kawhi on this with OG is asking to never go anywhere.

What's the most money we can sign Achiuwa for on the 1st year of his deal?

I'm playing around with sign and trade ideas

1) Half of the high-level players are injury-prone by some extension.

Very injury-prone: Embiid, Zion, Butler, AD, Kawhi, Ingram, PG13, KP, Lonzo, LaMello, Lavine, Irving, KAT, Jamal Murray, MPJ Jr, OG,

Kind of injury-prone (especially with aging): Giannis, Middleton, Donovan, Curry (fragile ankles), Durant, Beal, Harden, Lauri, Myles Turner, Nurkic.

Starting to get a reputation: Haliburton, Cade, Mark Williams, Duren,

2) The other half is virtually untouchable and we do not have a shot to trade for them.

There is no way the Clippers will be able to trade Kawhi. At his point, he has a more negative trade value (especially with that contract) than Levine.
