Really really like Kawhi. Ever since this story broke out, I can't help but wonder
A) whether it's likely that the C's will trade for him
B) how the C's would look like with Kawhi on their roster
Personally speaking, I'd rather part ways with Kyrie instead of Brown. Here is my line of thinking:
Assuming
-Kawhi is willing to commit long term with the C's
or
-Danny believes that Kyrie is planning to leave next summer via free agency
I'd push for a Kyrie for Kawhi straight up deal. Worst case scenario, we include a non Kings/Grizzlies first as well.
Step 2
We trade Morris to the Clips for Beverley.
(obviously, these are 2 different trades)
Step 3
Since we can't afford both Smart and Rozier (going forward), I'd trade Rozier at the deadline for the best pick I could possibly get. No point in starting a score-first PG when we 'd already have far too many options on the offensive side of the ball (Kawhi, Hayward, Tatum, Brown, Horford).
So this is how the team would look like come playoffs time next season (hopefully everybody will be healthy for a change)
PG: Beverley, Smart, Wanamaker
SG: Brown, buyout market FA on the minimum (someone who can stretch the floor), Nader
SF: Kawhi, Hayward, Semi
PF: Tatum, Theis, Yabu
C: Horford, Baynes, Williams
