    Depends on what we give out. We better not give someone like Sengun for an old ass part time player

    the way the nba is handling it feels very corrupt. Like they waited until after the draft, but one of the repercussions may well be that they lose a future pick. I just think the way the nba has handled this really smells. Silver has been a bad commissioner on many levels imho.

    I hope this is just fake smoke to make people think he will do things and the majority goal is to wait until after 2027 lottery to make moves

    I dont want kawhi but there are definitely plenty of reasonable moves that could be made to improve the team for now and the long term

    "...though the Houston Rockets could also be part of that mix"

    6 yrs rebuilding to run out an ancient super team. Thinking that we have the foundation to contend with Kawhi is delusional. Kerp in mind Harden just bolted because he didn’t think they could contend. I don’t understand the reluctance to keep building and getting better as opposed to going for these over the hill swings. We’ll see if there’s any truth to this, but u don’t make this move unless u are already a contender.

    I don’t Kawhi either, but if it is the only trade available to get KD out of here, I would settle.

    Well if it's between KJ Martin and Kawhi I guess I'll take Kawhi.

    At least with Kawhi we know Tilman can pay part of his salary in poker chips or some ****.

    KD for Kawhi sure.....FVV and DFS for Kawhii ....sure....but not anything of true value....he is too old and too injury prone.

    Exactly and only if you can’t get other younger guys with value offering those guys up. Kawhi when healthy is a much better all-around basketball player and teammate than KD.

    They will suspend him if he joins the rockets

    Stone is finding players who will give up on us in KD and Kawhi

    I don't know why, but the KD for Kawhi thing hadn't occurred to me. I think I'd probably do that one. I suspect the Clippers would target younger players though.
