He's a Celtic...
They'll find a way to make it work. There's no way Kyrie or IT can go back to their respective teams and continue business as usual. There are talks of Boston adding another one of their many picks to sweeten the pot a little.
Such a strange series of events.

With what assets? If we are playing make believe, why not just grab LeBron, CP3, and Draymond?
Calm down Peter Pan
It's the off-season I can NBA2k trade our roster if I want to

You and Azul would turn down a blow jibber from Kate Upton, wouldn't you?

Really? I didn't like Rodman back in the day either. Doesn't make me an idiot.

I didn't call you an idiot, but the Rodman comparison was idiotic in this context, so now I'm changing my stance.
You're an idiot.
There's a reason the Warriors put up with Draymonds bull***** You think it's because he is their "heart" and "soul"? No. He's a loud mouthed, horse toothed dumb **** who can guard every position in the floor and knock down the three.
I hate Draymond as much as the next guy, but his skill set is Boris Diaw on steroids.
Rodman was an elite defender and rebounder. If you remember otherwise is your own fault for not knowing basketball. He was a bonehead too, but still valuable to his teams because of his great skill.
I don't deny Draymonds unique skill set. He's basically Rodman with a 3 point shot and court vision. My comparison was not that far off. But feel free to carry-on like a raging lunatic.
There are a small handful of players I could just never hope to see succeed. Draymond and Rodman both fall in that category for me.
Steph, KD, Clay, Lebron, and the other 10-15 best NBA players I'd have no problem getting behind. Hell, I could even pull for Harden if I had to. But not Draymond. Something about his character just puts him on the outside for me.

Danny Green makes the top 60 in ESPNs NBA Player Ranking.
Making only $10 million per season, he checks in ahead of the following $15 million + players:
Carmelo Anthony
Tristan Thompson
JJ Reddick
But please, tell me again how he isn't worth $10 million per season.

Melo and Thompson not in the top 60 is pretty rediculous. Especially Melo.
Not sure that is a trustworthy list.
Parker's tendon has fully healed and his goal is to make it back by the end of November, way ahead of schedule. Whether Pop lets him come back that early is another thing.

Whoa
Link?
What's everyone going to do when the Spurs win the ship and Pop refuses to go to the White House 
I don't think he comes here and I don't think he'd put us over the top if he did.
I don't think many SA fans would want him. I'm not interested in him coming here either.
I guess I'm in the minority here but I would take D-wade in a heartbeat
With Manu super old, Parker not 100%, and White and Murray still really young, I would absolutely take a cheap DWade. He has championship experience and can create for himself or others. While he is a poor shooter, he did hit 48% of his corner threes last year.
He has more buddies on Cleveland, but Cleveland has IT3, Shump, Rose, Calderon, JR Smith and Korver at 1/2.

Thank you
At this point I think big name free agents just put the Spurs on their list and visit with them out of respect. Players love and respect Pop, but I'm not sure they want to necessarily play on his team with his 'fall in line' system. Not saying the Spurs system is bad. It's outstanding. But I can see how it wouldn't be as attractive to free agents who have options with other contenders.
My understanding is that at this stage of his career, Wade's defensive effort has become pretty inconsistent. At least, He often didn't bother expending energy on that end in Chicago.
Also, on offense, doesn't the ball usually stick when it gets in Wade's hands? an ISO style player?

Pass on DWade, but thanks for window shopping.
From an advanced statistics standpoint, he's not all that much different from Simmons at this point. That doesn't capture everything of course, but they have the same TS% and slightly better WS/48. He still puts up counting stats, but he's nowhere near the player he once was.
If he's willing to take a much smaller contract to match a much smaller role, he would be a great pickup. He can still give you a great game every once in a while and has plenty of experience, skill, and intelligence, but his body doesn't hold up to the grind of a starter's workload anymore.

The teams he wants to play for can only give him the Vet Min. He got a buyout of about $8mm so with the Vet Min, he still makes ~10mm this year.
Wade this season to get Lebron next season!

I never believe players will take those minimum deals until they actually do. It happens, but not as often as hopeful fans like to think. If I'm never hopeful, I'm never disappointed. Thanks Fran.
