How many picks would you trade for prime Kawhi?

[NZB2323]

I wouldn’t trade any because the Bulls aren’t going anywhere even with a prime Kawhi. It worked for the Raptors because they were already a conference finalist and they didn’t want to keep Derozan.

Probably more than the KD haul and others. I said years ago and I still stand by it, healthy prime Kawhi was the closest thing to Kobe/Jordan. It's also the other reason why as great as that '17 Warriors team was I can't forget Kawhi was giving them the business before Zaza took him out. And that was probably peak Kawhi athleticism-wise.

Most the things?

Teams used to just live with their best player being frozen out of a game to keep Kawhi out of the defensive possession and roll on a 4v4 of "yeah we're out our best offensive player, but your out your Second best offensive player!"

You can keep him and I'll keep my picks.

If i knew what he wanted in 2019, I would have been pissed the raptors didnt give him what he was asking for. What we lose a couple draft picks? owner pays a fine? ill take that to get a bubble ring.

I'd trade maybe one single 1st round pick. The best ability is availability. People forget that Kawhi has never had a healthy regular season and playoff while in his "prime". Even in 2019, he was hobbled & playing on one leg in the finals. GS had to lose KD and Klay for the Raptors to win it in 6.

He's also just never been a high level playmaker. You don't feel like he's really making his teammates better or getting them shots the way you'd expect for a superstar.

A prime Kawhi could dominate the game at both ends of the floor and has proven he can lead a team to a title.

A prime Kawhi is kinda only second to MJ in terms of impacting the game, particularly in modern games
