What do we possibly have to compete with this:
So where could he go? As a Southern California native, expect both Los Angeles teams to get involved. The Clippers have the 12th and 13th picks in this year’s NBA draft to offer, plus whatever combination of players San Antonio would want, and the Lakers have a roster full of young players (Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma, most notably) to use as bait to land a superstar talent that would make it far easier for free agents such as George and LeBron James to look differently at playing for the Lakers.
The Philadelphia 76ers are perhaps the most fascinating potential Leonard destination. With Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid having established themselves as the franchise’s cornerstones, could a package centered around Markelle Fultz and Philadelphia’s two first-round picks in this year’s draft entice the Spurs? The Boston Celtics are overflowing with young players and picks to offer, as well, and already swung a big move last year for Kyrie Irving.
Then there are the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have the Brooklyn Nets’ unprotected first-rounder at their disposal. If that pick is enough to convince the Spurs to move Leonard — say it jumps into the top three in this year’s draft — could his arrival be enough to keep James in Cleveland?
(Philly would be awesome - imagine that team.)
