I picked none. The Smart one is the least unappealing one

I might do all of those but would think for a very long time on the ones with Kyrie.

Trading Jaylen for a rental (w/red flags, mind you) is utterly ridiculous.

Doesn't matter if you think Jaylen will never reach "superstar" status or "Kawhi-level greatness", that's still just not a wise trade to make for many reasons.

I would say trading a valuable asset like Brown or Kyrie for a rental of Kawhi would be idiotic, but idiotic isn't nearly a strong enough word. Ainge would have to be insane.

There is no assurance you can get that he'll stay, and he's telling the world he wants to go to LA. Which he'll undoubtedly do a year from now.

I don't trust Kawhi after seeing what happened this year in SA, he'll bolt for LA for sure.

While I don't see Brown's upside as equal to Kawhi, I do see him as being close enough for our present Celtic team.

LAC hypothetically could probably make a more enticing (overall) offer for Leonard than LAL.

I hope LAC gets him and/or Pop trades him there.

I am not trading for Leonard without a guarantee he signs in Boston

we wont get that. These Lakers/Clippers rumors are coming directly from Kawhis camp. Its to let other teams know that if they trade for him hes bolting after this year.

I trade Kyrie alone and trot out a Brown Leonard Hayward Tatum Horford lineup of doom. Kyrie and Kawhi are both potential rentals. Kawhi is better, gives us a better shot at a title for at least one year.

Hopefully they trade him to the Clippers.

Then again.... if Pop truly doesn't deal stars to West teams, then he'd consider MIA, NYK or... (gulp) Philly.
