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. [Reply]

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. Posted via Mobile Device
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. [Reply]

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. [Reply]

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

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