Leonard top 10 player but rests b2b. If you decide you dont want to take the risk(esp for the h2h playoffs) who would be a good trade target? Would you swap for Siakam?
Also, what was all that one in a million talk? Before the season there were stories that Kawhi would NOT be load managed this year. I wonder if that changes later in the year as they are competing for a top spot(dorothy were not in toronto anymore). I'd hate to trade him and then his load management changes.
General thoughts ?
Haha, yeah, those preseason lines were pretty empty from Clippers brass. They tried to play us!
I think you aim higher than Siakam. Kawhi has been ramping up lately, particularly his FG%. You should be able to target a top-15 guy I would think. Siakam isn't that far off from there, but I'd rather see if I could get Jokic or Bron or maybe Embiid, though he misses his own games being "ill" once every 2 weeks.
Definetly dont trade him just to trade him because you are worried about load management because the guy your trading him to is well aware of the issues already. I would try and package him with an overperformer or an injury risk for a bigger package. I was lucky enough to get Simmons and Isaac for him but it cost me Davonte Graham as the pair with Kawhi but every league is different and every team is different the key is doing due dilligance and finding the perfect fit for your squad.
