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

You're really going to type that out and act like this incident, as bad as it is, would be your biggest hindrance to trading for him, not his literal inability to stay on the floor.

Knowing what I know now why would I trade more than a couple of first round picks for a guy who's not even going to last a trip past the 2nd round.

Kawhi literally showed up unannounced to the NBA 75 ceremony. He was not playing that year, wasn’t an All Star, still showed up.

Saying he doesn’t like basketball is just disrespectful
