find a kawhi leonard.
find a chris paul

I think that'd put us on par with the top 3 teams from the west.

You almost have to have a "big three" to reach the Finals unless you had Lebron or you were the Mavs a few years back.

Lebron/Kyrie/Love
Curry/Thompson/Green
Lebron/Wade/Bosh
Duncan/Parker/Ginobili

Davis/??/??

Unfortunately I don't think Holiday makes up one of a "big three". Maybe Hield in a few years if he learns to play defense. Getting a guy like Hayward or Jimmy Butler would be a huge first step (and a pipe dream).

Hield would have to be an all star and a really big name would get traded here for holiday and our first.

Stubhub is probably their best bet. Scalpers would be a last resort.

A time machine

Then

Pick 1.10 in 2012 draft, select Draymond Green

In 2013, don't trade for Holiday, keep pick 6, draft Giannis

In 2014 pick 10 that went to philly, select Nikola Jokic

In 2015 pick 1.18 that we gave HOU for Asik, you can take a Sam Dekker


Championship!

I didn't read through the thread, but there's only one legit answer IMO:

Get lucky and strike it rich in the draft


With AD and Holiday, we'll always be too good for a high draft pick, short of pulling off a miracle and winning the lottery. So we won't be drafting high, so we just have to get uber lucky and draft a dude who turns out to be a superstar. That's the only way as we'll never get a true star through free agency.
