We'll see if the Warriors recover from the end of the season stretch of stinkers.

From the coach to the players this is Lebrons team. He got one ring out of it so LeGM wasnt a complete failure but it certainly didnt pan out the way he hoped it would.

His knees are a concern but I'd still rather have him than not. There aren't a lot of players that can score at will like he can.

If you can guarantee me that he's healthy, I'd take him and accept that the offensive value will supersede the defense overall (he was still not a good defensive player this year at all but really good offensively). But I doubt other teams are going to be believing that health right now.

Kawhi is a great player he is also a quitter. Plus Ainge values toughness which is something he lacks obviously.

If kyrie is worthless, why would you think you can net Kawhi Leonard for him if he is so ****ing worthless?

Kawhi is the only player in the league with any shot of guarding LeBron or Durant straight up. He's also one of the best offensive players in the league too (at least he was when he was actually playing). Ainge will consider him for sure and would be right to do so.

Trade Hayward and Brown to Cleveland for LeBron

LeBron is a FA and won't choose to go to Boston.

Yeah suspect you are right on it’s just who he is and also what drives the good stuff.

Not disagreeing with the Boston part at all but can’t he opt in for next year and be traded like CP3 did?

True but he won't do that with Boston.

He might but they would have to give up alot and hope Kawhi resigns with them.

Sign and trade. If he were smart he would go to Boston.

Seems likely if someone wants to pay him thinking they can fix him or he will grow past those flaws.
