So you are the GM. You call the Spurs. Your belief in the 76ers culture is so strong, what do you offer him for Leonard?
Some type of package involving 26, one of Saric or Covington and a future protected first rounder. I’d start there. Depends what other offers they have on the table obviously.
With a commitment from him to resign I offer them Covington, Fultz and 10. Without a commitment for him to resign I offer Covington, 10 and other picks.
Unless he absolutely says to Brett Brown that he has no intention of signing with the Sixers next year, I still go for it, and hope that he listens to reason, but it would make me less aggressive in terms of what I would offer.

This 100%. If he doesn't commit, I think you still pull the trigger, just take Fultz out of the package.
If we get Leonard, then Lebron will more than likely join --- Sixers with Lebron and Leonard are instant contenders... and if Leonard is healthy, we would be favorites.
Also given the expected growth of Simmons and Embiid, we would have a window of 4 years as heavy favorites --- very unlikely that LeBron and Kawhi would opt out of that situation unless they ended up hating each other.
Sixers are in a unique situation to be a trade option for Kawhi and get Lebron in free agency and add to a core that is a playoff team. No other team in the league has that opportunity. And if you get both Kawhi and Lebron, I see a high probability of them both staying beyond 1 year.
