Masai is in a bind. The assets required to make a trade that will actually move the needle are some of the same assets that he’d want to have around if Kawhi leaves in the summer. Otherwise, it’s a no-brainer to trade anyone not named Leonard or Green in a bid for the Finals this year. But if you don’t know that Kawhi is leaning toward staying in Toronto, it would be a bitter pill to swallow to give up any of OG, Pascal, or Delon (young, cheap, and still developing) right now.
That said, Beal might be the only one worth that kind of risk. He’s also still young, controllable for a couple of years, and would make a big difference in the Raps starting lineup.
