why link a NBC article that is just based off an ESPN report?  and that ESPN report has already been discussed on this board.

Ainge is just driving up the price for the Lakers or Sixers. Since the Lakers are scrambling to get another first to include for Kawhi, it sounds like it’s working

Could be true. As long as he doesn't go LAL or PHI, I'm fine.

I don't think that is the case at all.  I firmly believe, Ainge wants Leonard and believes he can convince him to stay. 

That's a huge, potentially franchise-altering gamble to make if Brown and/or Kings Pick is included

My guess, Ainge lowballed with Smart (S&T), Rozier, Morris, Nader ($$$) + Grizzlies Pick.

Doubt he's trading Jaylen or Kings Pick for a rental unless Kawhi and his camp have personally told him Kawhi will extend with Boston long term. The Grizzlies Pick though is also a big asset.

Hopefully it’s Morris, Smart sign and trade, Theis, and a couple non SAC 1sts.

This guy isn’t worth sacrificing the level of tangible and future assets we have in the war chest.

If he is willing to re-sign with Boston then Brown, Rozier, Morris, Memphi pick is a good offer IMO

I've just seen the report on twitter and didn't know there was another thread discussing the stuff around here. Feel free to cancel this post if you feel like. I didn't want to bother anyone.

Thanks for the link but we already have a thread(s) about Kawhi. This is like the Malcolm Butler discussion on PatsFans. It turned into a 350+ page "mega-thread". It's what is needed here. Please merge.

  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
My guess is Jaylen, Rozier, Sixers pick and Memphis pick plus salary filler. If you’re the Spurs, you gotta consider that.

If you're the Spurs you take that and pray to the good lord above that Danny doesn't come to his sense.

If you're a Celtics fan you open up the 'Torches' box from storage and look for kerosene.

Didn't we already know Boston made an offer for Kawhi (or at least that Ainge inquired about him)? I think this article is just lumping a few things together.
Celtics fan for life.

He isn’t staying here. Leonard is a rental.

Who knows what the offer even is. Probably pretty low and if not Ainge has some clue as to the C’s resigning him.

If anything the next few weeks will be entertaining.

No way DA offers Brown or Tatum without assurances of a long term commitment.
My gut says Rozier, Morris, Theis and picks, for now.

Per Shelburne and Wojnarowski, Leonard intends to let any teams interested in acquiring him know that he plans to sign with the Lakers when he can become a free agent.

This is not an argument against trading for Kawhi, but is is an argument for not doing so until AFTER the Lakers have signed both LeBron and PG13, as if those two sign for max at more than a year, there will not be max room for Kawhi next summer with the Lakers, even if they completely purge the rest of their roster.

Takeaways from the article

1. LeBron not sure about going to LA without George or Kawhi
2. George might re-sign with OKC
3. Spurs want to force LeBron to make a decision before they trade Kawhi, figuring if neither LeBron nor George go to LA, maybe Kawhi would end up re-signing in San Antonio
4. The Spurs have all the leverage if LeBron's decision hinges on the Lakers trading for Kawhi.
