Would you trade this year's first for Kawhi?

I'd do it if he was the final piece to the puzzle, but he isn't.

And again, our division rival isn't going to be doing us any favors. It would cost an arm and a leg to get him if they'd even deal with us at all.

This.

Superstars aren’t guaranteed. They need a system. They need a good head on their shoulders. They may be sane and focused in one place and unhappy in another. They need to be healthy. There’s no guarantee that Kawhi would be a star for us or even want to play for us

It would be silly to say that he would 100% be a flop, but there are enough red flags about his health and personality that he’s FAR from a sure thing. All we need is to trade another draft pick for a star only for them to Rondo
