If the Spurs get Kyrie and change for Kawhi then the market has really dried up and there are serious questions about Kahwi's knee.
Irving, Brown, and a pick or 2 isn't that bad for Leonard.....

Brown is the sticking point for me.
If it were Kyrie and picks, it would be a no brainer because his deal is up at the same time as Kawhi's and the Spurs were Kyrie's preferred destination.
Wonder if it would still be the case without Kawhi?
But, would the Spurs want to help build another mega team in the WC?
I'd love to acquire Leonard but there's always that question to answer.
They were top 3 or 4 without 2 all star caliber players in their line up...
... next year they get those 2 all stars back, in addition to realistic growth from guys like Tatum, Brown and Ojeleye.
I completely disagree with you.
It would be funny if the Spurs trade Kawhi to the Clippers instead of the Lakers. Am I right @Mecca & @ChiefsLakers67?
Any dad's out there have plans for the day? Did the Fathers Day thing yesterday instead because it's supposed to be raining on & off all day.
Gonna watch the Dodgers later on and cook something, probably ribs, in my smoker.
If you're that high on players... Brown is the best player you name out of that bunch... with just as much upside as any of those other guys too.
The Lakers were a bad basketball team last season.
I was more worried about the Warriors facing Boston than the Cavs, their defense gives the Ws fitsFair enough.
My retort is still the same: the Celtics could sit on their thumb for the most part and still get significant improvement in the form of reasonable growth from multiple guys... Tatum, Brown, Rozier and Ojeleye all have ceilings to grow into.
The other part of the equation is match up... I'd argue the C's match up better against GS than they do against other top teams. The best defense in the NBA isn't sexy... but it's built for the playoffs.
Fuck the Dodgers!No real plans.
The only kid still home is my son. So, I'll hang with him for a bit today. The daughters are moved away, they'll all be calling and texting at different points during the day.

And then you’d lose 5 first round picks...
Tobias Harris and two lottery picks this year is the supposed bid.What do the Clippers have that the Spurs would want?
Tobias Harris and two lottery picks this year is the supposed bid.
That's not going to get it done.

Agreed.The Celtics succeeded because they played great defense and were played cohesively.
Kyrie and Hayward are on a different plane than Smart and Baynes... but I'll address this.flyerhawk said:If Smart leaves and Baynes leaves, that is going to hurt the team. Will having a healthy Kyrie and healthy Hayward offset that? Possibly. Possibly not.
Again... adding 2 all stars... young players with another year of NBA work... they have a bedrock of defense... they match up well against GS...flyer said:Which is not to say that the Celtics will be anything but a very good team next year. But for you to extrapolate that they will become legitimate challengers to defeat the Warriors is about the MOST optimistic take you can possibly have.
