Really..... So when that bitch said this You agreed that he's shooting straight? Any credibility he could've had was lost with this lie: "They'll try to tell you they also have summer free agency available as an avenue to improve, but we all know better."
I don’t agree with all the details, but I like the idea of exploring a major shakeup to roster... and by great article, I meant great for Canzano, which is a low bar
But Canzano forgets one thing. The Spurs have said they won't trade Kawhi to the West. That could change with an offer they can't refuse. Maybe if the Blazers sweeten the deal with Meyers Leonard(surely they would love that), and take back the Gasol contract in return, it might be just enough. Remember the Spurs like players like Meyers(Bonner,Bertans, Baynes, and Boban). HeeHeeHee The Blazers could throw in a couple of 1st rounders as well. The draft in the NBA is a total crapshoot anymore with "One and Done".
I could see that, but it wouldn't work salary wise, and the Blazers taking Gasol's awful 16 mil contract back with 3 years left might be enticing enough to get it done without Collins. Kawhi has 3 years left on his deal as well. I think Kawhi feels under appreciated with his deal.

He's a free agent after this upcoming season. Why would he stay in Portland after wanting out of SA for a bigger market (allegedly)?
I hate to break this to you but staying in SA would give him a better chance at accomplishing that. He already won a title there and they were in contention until his injury last year.
