    Bad season for Denmon to be pressuring the Spurs. They had committed strong partial guarantees to Arci, Forbes and Garino and probably like each of them better for different reasons.

    I want that shirt Manu is wearing






    Manu Ginobili Verified account ‏@manuginobili

    Great to see my guys @Patty_Mills, @theborisdiaw and #Harvey for coffee yesterday! We'll miss you Bobo!

    Patty's bicep looks quite big. Looks ripped in that picture.

    Boris, well, as much as I liked him as a person, looks big (not in a good way).

    What do you think now? Who's a level below and why?

    If Patty's been working out like a madman, looks like Boris being gone is a good thing as there's no chance of him being a bad influence (in regards to working out and staying in shape) anymore.

    belichick is much more prepared and willing to make adjustments.

    pop is better at adjusting when it's too late.

    you know who played in the second half of game 6 against okc?

    parker started the second half, was subbed after a few minutes.

    timmy, manu, kawhi were playing while tp was on the bench. and that's when we were the most compe ive in that game.

    This dude (ST poster? ) thinks Kawhi has the best chance to win MVP this year.

    Personally don't think he'll get the minutes/touches. If he didn't put up the numbers last season, he may not be in a better position this season with LMA being more comfortable and Gasol needing the ball. Only way he's the front-runner is if the Spurs get the one-seed.

    He doesn't.

    But I like enthusiastic and optimistic people, those guys who think the best possible thing will happen, and hopes for it even if it's not likely...Thanks for the video.

    All good points. On the PRO side of the ledger, I could see the media hooking onto a Duncan retired but Kawhi still lead them to 60 wins and/or #1 seed narrative. The press loves a story... On the NEG, I wonder if Kawhi can shoot 44% from 3 again this year. A return to the mean plus Pau and LMA shot attempts could mean a drop in points.

    He doesn't.

    I definitely hope he will and will be surprised if Kawhi doesn't get at least 1 in the next 5 years or so.

    Seeing how well Dwight fits with the Hawks, I wonder whether we tried ti get him or not. Do we have any rumors about it? Seems like a better fit than Gasol next to LMA.

    No authentic rumors, but we roasted him here on ST. The guy has always been a head case, and his intangibles are off the charts (that is, beneath). Just wait until after the All-Star break and see if Dwight doesn't go Dwert.

    Team can protect eight. Who would you protect if the draft were happening this season as opposed to possibly in five years? Would you expose Parker to get out of that contract?

    mmm who I would protect?
    Bc if it is who Pop would protect, he will protect both Tony and Manu if that was this season and I might not protect either.

    For me:
    Pau, LMA, Kawhi, Danny, only one of Tony or Mills, then Dijon, Kyle, Bertans. The latter 3 are the Spurs best prospects for young players, and under potential team control on cheap contracts for 2-4 years at least and able to be resigned if they develop. Since the team doesn't have much of a bench, I would keep them. One cannot keep a team moving forward that doesn't have some young talent somewhere under cheap team control.

    The decision between Mills and Tony is the tougher one. I think Tony can mentor Dijon and thus I'd like to keep him, they could also exchange spots if Dijon grows as a player and can start, allowing Tony to be the bench scorer. I think that is a very workable 8 group. Playing Tony and Mills together is not workable for me, thus why for me it's one or the other. Mills could work out well too, in my scenario, but it requires that Dijon be pushed to the front lines sooner with no mentor.

    Hope league doesn't expand. It would really water down teams. Though I guess there are a bunch of players that wish it would expand so they could make it in the league.

    I would expose him for sure.

    Not worth its own thread and may have been posted elsewhere but it's interesting to hear that Pop told Boban to leave. Apparently, Boban might have stayed but Pop told him it would be better for him to make serious money. (And as a first major contract, it was the correct call, much as I hated to lose Boban). Just an example of Pop being a good human being, tbh.

    "He's such a good kid, at some point I had to work to get him to understand that $21 million was different than $3 million," Popovich said. "I said, 'Get your ass out of here. Go. You've got to do it.' But he felt bad."

    Yeah when I read that it made total sense. Boban is a great guy and probably felt a sense of loyalty to Pop and the Spurs. Good on Pop for encouraging him to move on and take the once in a lifetime shot at making that kind of money.

    I don't think it wold be good strategy to try and protect players with expiring or opt outs on their contracts such as Mills or Pau. They ultimately control their own destiny anyway. Protect your main guys under longer contracts and young players. The goal for us is status quo while other teams hopefully get downgraded by this process.

    Eh, the Spurs would only lose one player in an expansion draft. You don't want anyone in your main rotation taken, even if they're expiring. The team can find another Bertans or Murray by the team they'd need those guys. Replacing Pau or Mills so close to the season would be horrible.
