Rumors have been swirling all year around the Kawhi Leonard situation in SA, and it only looks like they're getting worse. It's starting to seem like a fait accompli that he'll be out of there next year, and I'm sure every team in the league would jump at a chance to acquire him (or would they? SA has often been seen as a model organization, and Kawhi's passive-aggressive conflicts with management during his recovery from injury isn't a good look).
That leads me to wonder -- with Danny Ainge's war chest of assets, could we land him in a trade? If so, what would it cost? And should we even try? A starting 5 of Kawhi/Hayward/Horford/Brown/Irving with Tatum, Smart, Rozier, etc. coming off the bench would be pretty devastating. Of course, some of those players might have to be moved for salary cap/trade/roster balance concerns.
