i dont want tatum going anywhere.Ridiculous speculation... video game trade idea.
While Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward, Al Horford, Jayson Tatumand company can likely get the Celtics into the NBA Finals next year, a trio of Irving, Hayward and Leonard can win Boston a title next year — and maybe a few after that.
Why pass up that opportunity? Here’s the deal to propose:
SPURS GET:
– Al Horford
– Jayson Tatum
– Memphis 2019 pick (protected)
CELTICS GET:
– Kawhi Leonard
– Pau Gasol
Hurdle 1: Kawhi’s contract expires after the 2019-20 season.
How they get over it: The Celtics need to have a deal in place to keep Leonard around long term.
Hurdle 2: Kawhi needs to be healthy and ready to play.
Possible, if Kawhi demands a trade. There will be many other suitors rushing to get in line, but the Celtics probably have more to offer than any other top team else without gutting their squad.
Spurs might prefer another piece instead of Horford though. At least, I would if I were them. I would be trying to land both Tatum and Brown along with the contract to make it work.
