    He’s gonna get traded before next season, watch. He’s got an opt out next summer.

    I’m not saying we have what it takes to get him though.

    As amazing as he is... I would be very cautious if they are willing to move him. They don't make dumb moves very often.

    San Antonio for the playoffs!!!!!!

    Finally get that matchup with the Texas Turncoat( for all you newbies, that is his official name on RC2.)

    Watch him choke when he has to go against Dame and CJ in a playoff series.

    Will be booed unmercilessly by the fans here, it will mess with his fragile psyche.

    Will be great.

    If he's choosing to sit out rather than play.... weird. But if we could pull him from SA I would literally run naked down Burnside shouting "carthago delenda est!"

    Not that it matters but I wonder what an offer would loook like. Collins for sure would be included, but then we’d have to add salary to make it work. Aminu would be another obvious addition.

    A 3/6 series with us at the 3 seed would be awesome.

    I think there are maybe 10 guys the Spurs would take for Kawhi. The somewhat realistic trade for both teams because of their talent and contract situations might be Anthony Davis for Kawhi.

    I would trade any 4 players on the roster for Leonard aside from Dame.

    How about a straight up Leonard for Leonard trade? Seems fair. Also- Kawhi could wear Meyers' number so that fans wouldn't have to buy a new jersey.

    @Orion Bailey would love to have his jersey increase in value!

    Yeah. Like it would ever really happen. The first thing he's going to do is request to go home to Cali.

    Home is always nice. Leonard is a really quiet and unassuming guy though, and would probably feel at home here in Portland. I don't think he likes or needs the attention that comes with being on an LA team.
