    I never said Deng, picks, and Josh Hart. :D

    I'm saying Ingram/Randle/maybe picks if we have to, but we shouldn't. Ingram and Randle is a rock solid return for a guy demanding out coming off a very long-term injury.

    And when Melo, LMA, Howard and the others that snubbed us try to ring chase, we tell them where to go.

    Makes it even worse if we somehow come out empty handed now.

    The difference between George and LAonard???

    George is a PC b****, while Kawhi has straight killers in his camp! His handlers will demand no other team trade for him unless they want a rental. All small market teams beware!

    I definitely think the angle is for a bigger market for a hundred (million) reasons. New York, Miami, LA, maybe Boston, but the money won't be the same there.

    Not that he wouldn't take a trade to Boston and run with it, but he's got that shoe money coming up. I'm positive they want him in a bigger market for that.

    I think SA can TRY for a ton, but like you’ve said, guy is coming off injury and is an expiring contract next season, so the value goes down. Hell, Kyrie Irving demanded a trade and then was had for IT, Crowder, Zizic and a 1st round pick. Which ultimately turned into Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance Jr, and Rodney Hood. That’s awful compared to what you proposed.

    Yeah I'm thinking about Paul George who had an obviously extremely similar situation. Kawhi is better than George, but has played less than 20 games in 18 months or something. If Kawhi is determined to go to a bigger market that immediately turns his value down.

    Paul George went for Sabonis and Oladipo (before Oladipo broke out).
    DeMarcus Cousins went for Buddy Hield, Langston Galloway, Tyreke Evans (expiring), a 1st, and 2nd round pick.
    Kyrie Irving went for Isaiah Thomas (injured), Ante Zizic, Jae Crowder, and Brooklyn's 1st.

    I could see Kawhi going for Ingram/Randle/#25 or something like that. I think that's fair and in line with these trades. Ingram is a stud young piece, Randle an obvious breakout player, and a 1st.

    OK... If Kawhi signs... I am willing to drop f*** LEBRON signs for the duration of his (LeBron's) contract. Really.

    For now, though, f*** LeBron.

    Part of my drive for this is to see all the national writers little lemon faces when we're back on top. They've loved beating us up down here.

    I’m not moving BI, Lonzo, Kuz, Hart because we have the leverage.

    They can have a resigned Randle, Zubac, Deng, and all of our draft picks for the next 50 years.
