Ah remember last summer when plenty on this board had no interest in trading for George because he was going to go to LA no matter what and was going to be a rental. Many of those same people are saying the same thing about Leonard.
An excellent point...nothing is for certain, until it happens.
I think the dominoes are falling right into place for Boston to have a good shot at Leonard on a one year rental...that will have the potential to end up just like George.
He plays for one year with this team, is hopefully a big part of hoisting banner 18 to the ceiling, Lebron is out in LA after a bad season and he calls Leonard on the phone - "Come join me and (fill in the blank), we'll make you a star!"
Leonard looks up in the rafters and answers "No thank you, the Celtics will make me a legend!"
Ink on paper for multi year deal.
Can it happen? It just did...why not again?
