When I first found out, he won't extend now, I immediately moved him for Wiggins in 2K15, TBH.
All these Idiots spursfans not knowing the difference between max extension and max contract.
Ginobili, Parker squeezed in as much money as the can from the spurs and they took the less risky max extension....
Timmy was paid max for 15 years...
Manu did so much for us

Manu earned 14M when he cost the spurs a championship. He didin't sacrifice
How would Manu know he was going to suck during playoffs when he was earning 14 mill? Please.. Manu didn't earn 14mill until his 32 years or so, Kawhi wants that when he's 23 years old and he didn't even average more than 13 points per game in 3 seasons..
I don't agree with apalisoc on this one.
Young padawan isn't on the "here's the checkbook, write your own check" stage yet, like the big 3... probably next summer if everything goes according to plan...
Patience grasshopper...
Prove yourself this season, the riches will come afterward.
Anyone having flashbacks to summer 2001 with David Robinson and his contract.
KL is not Tim Duncan and frankly he is not a franchise player.. This guy is a Pippen not a Jordan. He will be a force on a team with a lot of other pieces.. He is not the guy you build around to win chips. I don't want to see him go but les won't be going out the door with him..
Exactly. He owes them a refund.
I always love when people try to discredit Kawhi by comparing him to legends as a reason why he doesn't deserve max. The reality is the market sets his price tag and his price tag will be the max.
Only if he beasts it this year...
Another team will offer Lenard the max and the Spurs will match. He will still be a spur after this season.
He has to prove it this season.
You don't have to be a slave to the market. If you think the max is too much for X player let him walk and have someone else give it to him.. To me a max deal is for a franchise level player. The book is very much out on KL in that regard..
They will let him walk. He will flounder. Forever more he will regret leaving the Spurs.
Exactly. He has yet to prove it...
Well you aren't an NBA GM or owner so it really doesn't matter what you or any of us think is worth a max deal. The reality is he will be making the max next season (unless he has an awful season or gets hurt) the only question is who will be paying him.
If he was a FA last off-season he would already be a max player. Klay Thompson just got paid the max, the market has been set, Kawhi will be getting the max. Might as well get your head around it now.
