*Breaking News* Kawhi Wants Out

Duh. But again, like I said to you before, the spurs don’t just get to pick and choose who they get. Kahwi is leaving. They have to take the best offer they can get. Boston can offer better and more assets than the lakers even without including Tatum.

By your logic, the spurs should just trade kahwi to the warriors for curry and Durant. But the spurs don’t decide what teams have to include in trades. Celtics don’t need to offer Tatum and they still can offer a better trade than the lakers.

I give the Spurs and Buford more credit than just being handcuffed by Kawhi. Like I'd said I bet he'll play the Lakers offer off of Celtics offer and negotiate the best deal for his franchise.

Let's just see how good he is. Remember that Buford was DL's mentor.. I personally would have A LOT of confidence on what he can pull off.

Exactly.
Which is the better set of assets to offer for him to get the best deal for his franchise?
A. Kyrie, Hayward, Brown, picks and kahwi in the east
B. Kuzma, ball, Ingram, picks and kahwi in the west.

So you said it yourself, the spurs gm will negotiate the best deal for his franchise. The Celtics can offer the best deal. Even while keeping Tatum.
 
If I were Popovich, I’d threaten to sit Kawhi for the entirety of 18-19. Seeing how Leonard is playing this, I bet the franchise and the city would be behind him, too.

Ainge would raise the pot, because the pot is his primary strength. Getting a top-5 player would be worth it to let SA pick the players/assets they want.

I doubt Celtics would give up Kyrie, Hayward and Brown over Tatum..

You can doubt and speculate all you want. All I kept saying is that the Celtics can keep Tatum and still offer the spurs more than the lakers. And get kahwi out of the west. I’m right about that.

But they're unlikely gonna offer the Spurs Kyrie, Hayward, Brown and picks.

The idea of the Celtics getting Kawhi is to win Championship. If they're giving up Kyrie, Hayward and Brown, who do they have left? Kawhi and Horford. That's not gonna get it done.

Why are we talking about an unrealistic offer when in reality it won't ever happen?
