Summer 2018 Rumored Moves

If Kawhi is interested in the sixers,  why the hell wouldn't he be interested in the Celtics?   I would get it if it was a weather thing, but philly and boston, what's the difference?

I thought I read somewhere he has family in Philly.

Sources: The Boston Celtics and Marcus Smart have had good dialogue on a new deal. Still not there, but neither side is in a rush. With cap space drying up around the league, it lessens need to rush to a new contract.

Dante Exum signed for $11M per season, so I'm thinking Smart is demanding that typa money.

C's could give him a 1-year/$11M deal. If he demands more he is out. His shooting/offensive game has been disappointing to me so he shouldn't demand for more lol.

Honestly, I'd gladly give him 3/33M, or 4/40M.

I don’t think they are allowed to do exactly that.  They can offer the QO or match other teams’ offers.

No, they can sign him to any contract allowable with Bird rights.

I’m rooting for 5/$58M.

Doubt that would happen... Why would he even take the Q/O? Unless he wants out from the Rockets. Taking Q/O really limits what financial avenues Rockets can sign him to.

It’s a negotiating ploy right now.  There is no market this year for him, so Capela’s agent is reminding the Rockets there could be a very large market for him next year, and to give him offers this summer that reflect next year’s market.
