Oh no. You let him go to the Raptors and laugh about it every day for a year before he leaves in free agency and leaves them out all the assets they used to get him. 0% chance they retain him.

Afam. My man.

You operate out of fear. Instead of trying to block everyone from beating you, just kick their ass.

Everytime someone comes up on a trade, we freak out that another team will get better. We talk for Kawahi because we can. But we don't make a trade unless it makes sense for us.

You don't worry about other teams. You worry about the team you have.

We are fine.

Cannot see Spurs wanting any of Demar, Lowry, or Ibaka, so deal would have to be around Jonas and OG. (spurs wanted Jonas at the draft and offered Tony Parker at the time)

But that offer is easily beat imo, and makes the raptors a bit better I guess? I dont know how you work anyone better than Demar with demar as he is so inefficient that taking the ball out of his hands makes him a worse player immediately. And they have a history of sf under-performing when trying to fit beside demar.

I would think that the ideal situation for the Spurs is that Kahwi plays out the season, the entire season, for 20.1 million,
and then lets the Spurs have 54 Million in cap space next summer when Leonard can hit free agency by not exercising his player option (if they don't exercise their team option on Pau Gasol).

Kahwi would probably push for a buyout if the Spurs looked like they were going miss the playoffs, but Pop doesn't strike as the type of guy who just lets someone walk when they are crucial to your team's success.

Until the talk was LBJ+KL to Philly you had the right to be a little concerned, now that LBJ has settled in LA I don’t really care where KL goes (beside Hou and GSW) because it’s not relevant for Celtics’results.

Are the Celtics still in this? Doesn’t seem like it to me. This thread is history.

I hope he goes to the Raptors, need at least some competition in the East.

Raptors: Kawhis team

Milwaukee: Greek Freak

Philly: Simmons

Boston: Bunch of guys

Not worse than the west, it's only Warriors and Rockets. Not buying the LA hype. They have a bunch of bottom feeders in the West and treadmill teams like Denver, Utah, OKC, Portland, Minny. Who thinks those teams are going anywhere?

Spurs will be weaker, Clips are weak. Rest is trash.

What if it continues until August? September?

I don't think kawhis uncle likes Drake's music, just a guess, so that won't be a good fit.

Makes sense. I been told on the forums not to over pay for a one year rental. Giving up Bird would be sacrificing the future on Danny's part, clearly.
