Once again, this was before LeBron signed in LA, a story that was BS to begin with.

Lol you really think Kawhi isn't willing to re-sign in Boston, a place where he can win multiple titles, but would re-sign in the **** that is Philadelphia and get bounced by the Celtics in the conference finals every year?


:roll: clearly i posted this cause i believe Kawhi would consider resiging in Boston as well .

Except you literally said he would consider re-signing in Philadelphia and said nothing about Boston, but alright dawg.

Something like Fultz/Saric/Covington/2021 Heat pick.

Apparently they tried to get a deal done for Leonard yesterday but talks went nowhere.

Why do you think that? Guy has been doing this since 2010. Lebron isn't going to the Lakers if at least one of the two guys, PG or KL, are not joining him.


Any more questions?


YES, I have a bunch.

Ok. Interesting. Though some may disagree, I never felt Boston could compete with LA in terms of a deal... but Philly is a different story. We can definitely compete with that package. Should be interesting.

I hope not. AD is still the ultimate target.


Rumor has it that he’s already considered resigning with philly if traded there .

Those rumors had LeBron signing today in Philly....... literally minutes before he announced Lakers. I’d tend to not believe anything you are hearing in Philly

The funniest part about the Philly rumors is that LeBron apparently made his decision to sign with the Lakers on Saturday night, and yet people were acting like the meeting between LeBron's camp and the 76ers was actually significant on Sunday. lol.

Right, because agents NEVER say things to position their clients in a good light and provide info that works to their advantage........

C’mon now, if the Lakers think that the Sixers are a legitimate long term landing place for his client then they get the deal done and KAwhi gets to go where he wants. Thats all he cares about so don’t think anything he tells you is anything other than Kawhi propaganda. What you are trying to do is cherrypick the news you like to fit the narrative you want. Its ALL spin. You are just choosing to believe the spin that matches your previous comment

Jalen Rose is right. Boston has the best assets. It is about compromising at this point in my opinion.

Fultz/Simmons/Embiid supposedly off limits.

Saric/Covington/Heat Pick likely gets it done.

That is better than Ingram/Randle and a Laker pick or two. If for some reason they do trade him to the Lakers I would demand a 2023 unprotected pick. Get one for after lebron leaves and the team stinks again.

Could the Celtics do better than Saric/Covington/Heat? Yes. But I doubt they do. They can't without including Brown and Brown is a poor man's Kawhi and could be on his way to being Kawhi.

Once Kawhi says he is open to re-signing with the celtics, a deal is going to get done.

You keep hoping. Maybe Danny will rid him and yourself of Jaylen one day but it’s not now and not for this player.

Again, keep hoping.

With zero actual comment or stories out of Kawhi's camp, that just gets chalked up with all the other no way of knowing for sure rumors.

Jabari Young is pretty much one of the most clueless "insiders" I've heard speak. He's as clueless or more than Sherrod, who's one of the most irrelevant insiders in the league. I heard him say on the CSNNE podcast that the Celtics would have to trade Brown/Tatum/Sac pick even Kawhi gives no guarantees for the Spurs to trade him to us. :lol: :lol: :lol: He's flat out clueless.

Btw, what's your dream Kawhi trade situation? Just curious, in a hypothetical scenario.
Good assessment:

I want the celtics to trade for a Kawhi Leonard. I make no apologies for it. I like Jaylen Brown as player but if i had to choose between those two players, it is Kawhi Leonard. He is a star player, a two way player both on offense and defense. He gives the celtics the best chance to win a championship. People can't think whatever they want to think. It is whatever to me.
