We already have a championship contender. I hope this isn’t Danny’s Icarus moment.

I'm thinking the Spurs finally decide to send him to the Lakers when they get everything from them. All the picks and all the young guys they want.

Is it possible that Danny received confirmation through back channels that Kawhi would be open to signing an extension? Couldn't Kyrie have talked to Kawhi? Obviously, members of the Celtics front office or ownership can't talk to a player under contract on a different team, but I don't recall that being the case for players. Aren't the fathers or uncles for Kyrie and Kawhi close friends? Maybe Kawhi is open to an extension with the Celtics, but is leaving the idea of signing with the Lakers to throw off the scent of any sort of collusion or back door channels? I know this idea is far fetched, but I like it better than Kawhi signing as a free agent on a bad Lakers team, which still makes no sense.

My guess is Jaylen, Rozier, Sixers pick and Memphis pick plus salary filler. If you’re the Spurs, you gotta consider that.

That would be an insanely stupid offer by Ainge.

I don't know what Cleveland has to offer. Certainly Love is not exactly a big haul.

Only way I'd make a fair offer to the Spurs for Kawhi is if I knew for sure that Kyrie is planning to leave next summer via free agency.

Kyrie for Kawhi straight up. Worst case scenario, we include a non Kings/Grizzlies first as well.

Rozier starts at PG, Hayward comes off the bench.

No way I'd trade Brown for what may prove to be a 1-year rental of Kawhi.

Next step: we trade Morris (too many wings assuming we add Kawhi).

Let's say Morris for Beverley straight up. Possibly Beverley starts over Rozier.

We re-sign Smart.

We let Baynes walk (in order to avoid the tax). The same goes for Monroe (plus he is a bad fit).


Beverley - Smart - Wanamaker
Brown - Rozier
Kawhi - Hayward - Semi - Nader
Tatum -  Theis - Yabu
Horford - Williams - vet minimum - (Theis)


Having said all the above, I fully expect Kawhi to team up with LeBron and George in LA.

I'm not really interested, but logically what Danny does is try to extort LA for Jaylen Brown?

Ingram, Kuzma, LAL 1st to BOS
Brown, Morris, Hart, XXX 1st rounder to SA
Leonard to LAL
Ball to XXX

Lakers trade their big 3 young guys to Leonard.
Boston gets Ingram, Kuzma and a 1st for Brown.
San Antonio gets Jaylen Brown, Morris, Hart and a (lottery?) pick

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.

Because they would not own his Bird rights?

Seems like a step backwards for us.

No reason for us to get in on that. Brown is a way better fit for us than Ingram and Kuzma isn’t anything noteworthy. Unless that pick is a projected top-5 pick with no protections, definitely not worth it

I agree. The Lakers will be forced to out bid because they will be getting more in return, a player who wants to stay beyond one year.

I'm confused... Why wouldn't SA just take Ingram/Kuzma/Lakers 1st? Ball can get traded to the 76ers for Fultz, and Fultz/Kuzma/Ingram can be headed to the Spurs.

Murray
Fultz
Ingram
Kuzma

And why would we even do that lol.
