So rumblings that the 76ers are looking to pouch RC Buford from San Antonio to be their GM. Wonder if that nixed any potential Kawhi to Philly deal.. thus lowering their odds of acquiring him.
Wasn't Philly the only other (non LA) team that Kawhi might see him self resigning with? Seems strange that Philly has worse odds than Toronto in acquiring him.

They won't deal Embiid or Simmons. Fultz is damaged until proven otherwise. A deal centered on Saric and Covington is nice but hardly spectacular. A DeMar plus pieces deal could give them better short and long term value than that.

The other 3 big contenders for Kawhi, the Lakers, Celtics and Sixers, all have reasons not to trade for a potential rental. They have long futures with their cores.
The Raptors are two years away from a reset button right now anyways. A rental carries less risk for them, so they can afford to make a bigger offer.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

A lot of rumored reports so far (like this one) include one piece too many for Toronto, imho. DeRozan + OG + Poeltl + future pick.
MU's patient. If they're trying to make him overpay, he'll just wait.
Kawhi to Toronto?

Like everywhere I looked it was about Philly and what San Antonio was looking for from them. And now the odds are showing Toronto to be the favourite. Just found that puzzling.
Man, if Colangelo was still there, the odds he'd overpay for Kawhi are like 1000% Thanks, Ringer!"Stop eating your sushi."
