Lebron could secretly give millions to the program, and that wouldn't mean a damn thing in regards to where his son should/would/could play his college ball.

If you do not think Lebron will have any say on where has #1 boy goes to school is laughable and with regard to financials I am pretty sure that it would be well known if he gave money to Ohio State because it is well known that he has given quite a bit of money to his former high school. Lebron is not shy about telling people where he gives money and I do follow Cleveland sports pretty closely.

If Boston gets Leonard what are they going to do with 2 SFs, tying up over $51.2M (Heyward ($31,214,295) + Leonard ($20,099,188) this coming season? That's over 50% of the 2018/19 salary cap, (i.e. The NBA’s current salary cap projection for the coming year is $101 million with luxury tax threshold of $123 million). Who would want to pick up Heyward's (who is coming off an injury too) contract at $31.2M (2018/19), $32.7M (2019/2020), and $34.1M (2020/21)?

Just sayin': I think San Antonio is just "floating" Boston out there to try and drive up the Lakers offer.

Most of Boston's players are cheap or on rookie deals. And I wouldn't worry about Kawhi and Hayward playing the same position, the NBA is getting closer and closer to positionless basketball. They're looking at starting Kyrie, Hayward, Kawhi/Brown, Tatum, and Horford next year. That's by far the best team in the East, barring any big moves by Philadelphia. I don't think he'll go to Boston, though. He wouldn't re-sign there.

There's no way the Spurs don't get tatum/brown + in a Leonard deal. They aren't going to give him away.
