    Priority is a guard who can shoot 3, specifically off the dribble in pick and roll... but Kawhi supersedes all obviously

    Alright @Mr. Rambis , you win. I humbly and graciously rescind my prior skepticism. You beat Woj. You are officially a legend in my book.

    Might not have to be AD carrying them if we sign a Kyrie, Kemba, Butler, or even Kawhi. Never know, we just upped our attractiveness to free agents big time.

    The more I'm reading our #4 pick is part of that 3 picks so its really #4 + (2) 1st Round picks. Still waiting to see the protections on those two future picks

    I actually hope the Lakers go full KLUTCH to fill out the roster... Cory Joseph, Marckieff Morris, KCP (only for the minimum lol).

    I’ll be more excited when I see the rest of the roster.

    I guess Bonga and Caruso are holding down the PG spot.

    I do wonder if this makes any max guys MORE interested in us though

    A part of me is incredibly glad of having Anthony Davis here. He think he's a monster of a player and it's something that will immediately show when he plays here. Hard to call us favorites for the title or anything of the sort, but it should be fair to say that we will be a better team.

    That said, the other part of me is absolutely terrified because we've now given up Julius Randle, D'Angelo Russell, Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball AND the 4th pick of this draft, plus a couple future picks. If things somehow go wrong, be it the team sucking, injuries or simply bad team chemistry, then we're in the depths of the abyss with pretty much no way to climb up for a while.

    I want to be among the optimistic bunch around here. And a part of me is happy about this. But then again, I was happy when we got Nash and Howard, and the fact that I was happy then is what terrifies me now.

    I hope everything goes well and we end up in the fight for the championship.

    - Didn't trade for Kawhi
    - Didn't trade for Jimmy
    - Didn't trade for PG
    - Didn't trade for AD
    - Kyrie gone
    Enjoy your Lord and Savior Jayson Tatum.

    THANK YOU DANNY AINGE

    This should not shock or concern anyone. Rich Paul made it clear in his Sports Illutrated Interview that no matter the team AD goes to he will be a free agent after next year to take advantage of the money he could make. I believe we'll have his bird rights and can offer him the most because we traded for him.

    AD should not test free agency... for the sake of my mental health (remember Howard?)

    IF we sign Kawhi, we would have the best frontline of all time. Imagine.
