    I think you keep Aminu in that situation:

    ATL Gets: Meyers Leonard
    LAC Gets: Caleb Swanigan. 2019 POR 1st
    POR Gets: Tobias Harris, Miles Plumlee (TPE)

    Lillard (36) / McCollum (12)
    McCollum (23) / Curry (25)
    Harkless (24) / Turner (16) / Aminu (8)
    Harris (32) / Aminu (16)
    Nurkic (30) / Collins (18)

    Must happen now. If not the relation between DDR and Toronto will be broken after this.

    It honestly looks like it's probably a done deal and we will hear of the complete trade by morning

    So basically Toronto is taking a swing at Kawhi knowing they have to blow it up anyways so if Kawhi leaves next summer, doesn't matter they still rebuild and if he stays they build around Kawhi. Interesting. Man how shitty would it be to be loyal to a franchise for so long as the star player only to read or know you are about to be traded? I don't think that's something Dame will ever experience. CJ hasn't experienced it yet which is surprising at this point.

    I don’t get it. DeRozan isn’t good enough to keep them in contention. They should be blowing it up.

    This is the ultimate "no shit" moment. If he didn't want to play in SA why would he want to go to Toronto?

    Does anybody else think Kawhi is coming off very vintage Lamarcus on this whole thing? like we get it dude, you are quiet and what not but there has been a whole lot of shit coming out about you the past year. Just do an interview so you don't look like a douche here

    DeRozan replaces Tony Parker. Great for the Spurs, but Aldridge won't like sharing the ball with another Brandon Roy.

    100%

    And some people want to give up good players and assets for him with no guarantee of him not only resigning here, but even liking the area at all.

    His personality is really coming off as mega diva. Also he has never come out and set the record straight. That’s extremely concerning.

    I think Kawhi is the opposite of PG in this situation last year. I think Kawhi ends up leaving toronto or anywhere else that isn't specifically where he wants to be. I am not giving CJ up for a rental. As amazing as a player Kawhi is, I don't like the way he has been carrying himself, too mysterious. On top of that we don't know the extent of his injury. Kawhi could be traded and then sit out all year with Toronto. HUGE risk for Toronto. Fine for the Spurs as they will remain competitive enough to get bounced out of the first round

    I don't get what you mean. It took a much better player than McCollum, DeRozan, to get Kawhi.
