With the Spurs he'd still get his huh amount of touches, he just wouldn't be always bringing the ball up

But kawhi doesn't have that dig bron needs. Kawhi is lebron before lebron became comfortable being the main scorer.
Bron needs someone comfortable being expected to score 24-29 points a night. Kawhi has too many nights he'll give yiu 15 and be fine.

All he needs is Kawhi and it’s over for the Warriors.

Superstar
Lebron for Hayward, Morris, and a 1st-round pick
Kyrie, Horford, and another 1st-round pick for AD and Jrue
PG: Jrue
SG: Brown
SF: Tatum
PF: Lebron
Center: AD
With Rozier, Smart, Baynes off the bench.
That lineup would be ready now AND ready in 2025.
Why would NO do that
Kawhi is already a very capable scorer and if he was asked to score more points a game I'm sure he'd be up to the task. Also, his defense would mitigate the need to score so many points per game because he could be deployed as a stopper and allow LeBron to control the flow of the game. Kawhi has the two things you need to play with Bron and that's heart and skill.
PG - Mike Conley
SG - Jimmy Butler
SF - Lebron
PF - PJ Tucker
C - Mark Gasol

Naw, no one on that team is a 25+ a night scorer.
Stopped reading at "Clarkson good enough"
If AD is trying to force his way out, their choices will be down. You know how good those draft picks are that Boston is holding? The Kings pick is barely protected at all and the Memphis pick is only lightly protected. You're talking about two all-star level players and two lottery picks (one likely top-5) to pair with Boogie. That's a lot better dealt than some of stuff that was being floated earlier this season when rumors of AD's discontent first came to light.
Why would NO do that
Nah, that roster is tight because all five of those guys are going to be playing hard and capable on both ends of the court. There's no "rule" that you need two 25-point scorers on a team, most title teams haven't. Butler/Conley/Gasol can all go for 15-25 on any given night, that's more than enough considering the defense they'll be playing.
I was talking about a Conley/Gasol trade for a lot of last year when it was clear that Memphis was giving up on the season, it just seemed like there were sentimental reasons why Memphis wouldn't do it.
The same kawhi who been giving warriors fits everytime he on the court and making durant work harder than anybody who has ever guard him while putting up 25+ points on the warriors
Kawhi dont be dropping 15 and if he does its cuz pop takes him out too soon
U do realize he could easily average 30ppg on the spurs but that is not how they play
He is the same guy who had warriors down before getting hurt
Bron and kawhi on same team is a damn nightmare
