Kawhi Leonard has been pretty much healthy this whole playoff series and I think that the Pacers could still manage to stay in the playoffs if they load manage him the whole season. He would immediately transform the way the Pacers offense moves and raise the ceiling of this team to championship level. They'd take someone like Rasheer Fleming in the draft, who'd have an immediate back defensively and spacing wise (hopefully). This could be the push they need if it works out but its a big risk.
