So I presume that the Lakers Rep will not be there but the Celtics Rep and the Sixers Rep will be there, right?

Why is there all this kawhi 6ers content on ESPN? Just clickbait or was there some actual report

Keith Pompey of the Inquirer said we want one of LeBron or Kawhi. Last week NBC Sports had a piece saying Kawhi wants to go to the Lakers but also has interest in Philly.

Cov - fultz - Lakers pick - their choice of furk/holmes/TLC (plus whatever else needed to match salary). Enough for sprus?

so what am I supposed to be rooting for to happen? #1 pick or would that then go somewhere else?

Pompey said in his mess of an article yesterday that sources said the Sixers expressed interest in Kawhi, which is more than enough for ESPN to run with.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

After taking a break from all NBA podcasts for a bit, I went back and listened to their wing free agency rankings. Biggest takeaway is there really is a huge drop off after George and James. Redick might be the 3rd best guy depending on how you feel about KCP and Bradley.
Danny Green?

We keep 1 or 10+, Boston gets 2 or 3.
If Boston gets the pick, then we have the kings pick next year unencumbered. If we keep the pick, Boston gets the better pick of ours or the Kings next year unless it's #1.
I don't think there's necessarily a "right" answer of what to root for. Getting #1 would be undoubtably sweet though.

He's been pretty stinky 2 out of 3 years now and the other year was just ok.

Yeah I didnt realize his stats were that bad. Defensive upgrade over JJ but lose quite a bit of offense

Continue to believe that tyreke Evans remains a good fit as a combo guard and playmaker but he seems like only an option if they whiff on big 3

He doesn't bring you any more than Cov does and probably less. I like KCP more than Bradley now but they've both had weird seasons.

Just wanna note that if we trade for Leonard we can still sign a big FA, too. Even if it’s not LeBron, Leonard plus Tyreke would be great.

My very uneducated take is that if we're interested in Kawhi, that means he's probably good to go since Brett presumably has the means to get the full story on his health

Am I the only one that thinks a broke fultz isn’t as valuable as everyone thinks? I think you are going to have to add Dario to that deal.

Who's less tradeable right now? Markelle Fultz or Lonzo Ball?

Both are still tradeable, Fultz's value has just fallen. Ball was fine this year.

it's one year of a player who is without a doubt gone if the Spurs don't sign him to the supermax this summer. that deal only works because Fultz is broken
