Locke: We could get Kawhi Leonard

[The Midnight]

LOL .. this is the PERFECT thread for @Saint Cy of JFC to showoff his contrarian argumentation capability.

It only happens when 99.99% takes a side on a topic.

Cy rubs hands and immediately jumps on board as the 0.01%

Get Kawhi, plus another high level player, keep Lauri, keep a lot the picks. I would do that. Rev up the engine. It would screw up the 2025 draft but because it is so freaking deep and the management team works so hard to find players, I think they can find an all-star even if they get a less than ideal draft selection.

That being said. I would only do it if I could get the Bulls 2025 pick unprotected (or something like this) by taking on Zach. The Bulls would the be worst team in the league. We could still get a chance at the top 5 and focus on winning.

I’d rather trade for Jimmy Butler tbh. Think he’d be a positive culture setter for the Jazz.
Not sure Kawhi is that at this point in his career.

No, I just know people don't actually listen and they overreact without getting the point.

You seriously wanna waste 4 first round picks and probably Hendricks on Kawhi who doesn’t play the final 20 games of the season?

Go on ahead and fill your podcast with whatevs but the fact that anyone is arguing this is a real route we could or should pursue is complete nonsense. Like ignore everything you know about Kawhi the person and his body… now what if we made a huge bet to go all in on being mid in the West!!!! Wow!!! But what if it plays out exactly how it would in 90% of the scenarios and you chewed up assets for absolute no upside… sign me the **** up!!!!

He's a great all-around player when he's not injured but the dude has only ever played 70+ regular season games twice in his career.

I would only ever do this trade if The Clippers sent us picks - it's a salary dump as Leonard gets paid 50M a season for the next three years.

I would rather not lose assets and pay someone younger and less injury prone - though this season the free agent market is drying up so best we can do is take on some bad contracts for assets.

Big no on Kawhi
Too old, too much money, too injured
Trade Lauri if it's very good
Go very young, future draft picks, cheap vets, great flexibility
See what happens

I would do...

John Collins and Jordan Clarkson for...

Kawhi + 3 1st round draft picks. I think we could flip Kawhi to a desperate team.

Literally the only scenario where this isn't the worst idea for this jazz of literally all possibilities.

And I'm using literally literally here and not figuratively. Literally.
