Danny Ainge Should Give the Spurs a Godfather Offer for Kawhi Leonard. Godfather: Part II, I Mean

By on • ( Leave a comment )

No, no, no, not a “Godfather offer” as is commonly used to describe an offer you cannot refuse. I’m talking about a Godfather: Part II offer.

Rumors are starting to heat up surrounding the Spurs’ trade partners for Kawhi Leonard, which the Celtics are prominently mentioned in. The Spurs have to trade Kawhi and Danny Ainge knows it. The whole league knows it. So why he would go out on a limb and trade one of his best young players for a guy that is almost assured to walk in 12 months is asinine. Sure Kyrie could walk at the end of next year too, but you traded an injured Isaiah Thomas and the No. 8 pick for 2 seasons of him.

Offer the Spurs a couple of low draft picks and maybe a bench guy like Terry Rozier and see if the Spurs bite. If not, then good day sir because I like this team heading into next season as is. The Celtics don’t have to add Kawhi. The Spurs do have to trade Kawhi though. And it would seem from all the rumors out there that the Spurs would rather send him East just to spite him rather than simply handing him to the Lakers.

Advantage: Ainge.

So let them take your blatant low ball offer, or they can go digging for gold with the Lakers, who, ironically considering the title of this blog, are now rumored to be planning a “Godfather offer” for the Spurs.

Your move, Danny. Don’t mortgage the future for 12 months of a guy who played only 9 more games in the NBA than me last year. I would love Kawhi Leonard on this team, but only on our terms. There’s no sense in pushing all your chips to the middle of the table for ONE run at this, not with Golden State still lurking in the West.

Cavaliers Lose and Surprise LeBron Throws Entire Team Under the Bus

ESPN – “LeBron James is growing impatient with the direction the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers appear to be heading and is calling for the franchise to do something about it…We’re a top-heavy team. We have a top-heavy team. We top-heavy as s–t. It’s me, [Kyrie Irving], [Kevin Love]….”We need a f—ing playmaker,” James said.”

Imagine being teammates with this guy? Insufferable. You just lost a tough game and you’ve got your best player/captain/GM complaining to the media about how you and your entire team suck. LeBron is the absolute best at deflecting any blame and throwing his teammates under the bus.

“We have a top-heavy team. We top-heavy as s–t. It’s me, [Kyrie Irving], [Kevin Love]”

People give Kevin Love shit because he was fitting OUT instead of fitting IN, but in reality he’s probably the only normal dude on the roster who hears the shit LeBron says and just tunes him out. Whatever dude, I’ll just go jack some 3’s from the corner while you guys subtweet each other. Just openly campaigning for someone on his current team to lose their job so LeBron can bring in someone he deems more worthy.

“We need a f—ing playmaker,” James said.”

Dude just makes it easy to root against him. But I also have a hard time rooting for AAU Super Teams like the newly constructed Warriors. Too bad there’s only like 4 teams with a chance at winning the title in the NBA. I guess just have to hope Popovich can use some more black magic and will out another title? Or maybe if Isaiah continues to average 40 points a game the Celtics may have a shot. A true dilemma.
