It was mostly just to show that PHX does have the assets to match Philly if they wanted/needed to.

I'm 90% sure Kawhi will do what Melo did with us:
Take the money & figure out the rest later

The Sixers, Celtics and Lakers (if they sign PG and especially if they sign Cousins too) are the only teams with the assets as well as the players remaining still on their teams to contend during the first year he’s on the team as well as the attractiveness for him to want to stay and the ability to still keep some of their young stars on rookie contracts for another few years.
They’re also the only three teams that if he were to bounce next summer that they’d still be in good positions without him even if they did give up some important assets.

Kawhi the only player who can be MVP and DPOY in the same season IMO

Agree with last thing there. They played all year without Fultz so losing him is a chance you can take if it means kawhi for one year

Kawhi also the most likely to pretend to be injured during a whole season.

If Pops don't coach the season I wonder if it's a positive in Leonard's mind

bron/kawhi/ben/embiid?
All four play the same three positions. NO three point shooting no depth...........

Kawhi instead of PG... hope SA trades him before free agency

The 76ers doesn't make any sense for Kawhi. The already have Simmons and Embiid plus Reddick at his salary is probably gone. The only reason the 76ers as a team currently work is because of Reddick. Take away their outside shooting... them how are they competing with the West... Hell my best guess is that the Fultz shooting reclamation is to make him a more consistent three pt shooter because that is exactly what they'll need once they can no longer afford Reddick
Too bad the Knicks pick is so low and the Nets dont have any true assets. If I'm the Spurs I'm looking at both teams or the Celtics... Philly if they're dumb enough... IF the Cavs still had Kyrie this would've been the best case situation.
They would've gotten a player perfect to play next to Lebron, get rid of both Kyrie and Love ... and have a team that could truly compete... IDK maybe the Spurs feel generous and would take Love, their pick and create a new Twin towers
Kawhi for Love + this years 1st plus 2 conditional 1st rounders top 10 protected for 4-5 years contingent on Kawhi signing the extension

I don’t think replacing Dario and Covington with LeBron James and Kawhi would hurt our offense man...Kawhi has turned himself into a good shooter and LeBron obviously can get ridiculously hot from outside. That lineup defensively would be amazing. And apparently if we were to include Dario in the trade as well as Fultz, Covington, Bayless and #10 then we could still afford to bring JJ back if he took a deal for anything less than $10 mill per year.

If the Raptors offer Derozan for the #4 pick, who says no?

Honestly, its not clear if they want to tank or keep their core and add another star.

Grizz know they want Courtney Lee back on the roster

If raptors decide to go tank mode, i'm fairly certain the Kings would accept Derozan + fillers for the #2 pick.

I mean Derozan, Conley and Gasol would be a playoff team tho....

Honestly that wouldn’t be a bad trade at all. You’re getting an All-Star guard in the prime of his career...it’s not like this is old *** Pierce or Garnett like the trade the Nets made. If you’re going to keep Conley and Marc then you might as well do a trade like that where you’re able to get a big time player that should have another 5+ years of high level play.

If the Grizz were looking to make one final run, I dont think they'd give JB Bickerstaff the job.
Tbh though, that team would actually be type good. Feel like Derozan fits perfectly there, I just dont see them going that route
