Spurs and LMA engaged in contract extension talks

[raybies]

about 24 mill per year with a partial guarantee. Not bad at all if he continues his production, aging well, and actually did learn to pass out a double team.

[SupremeGuy]

All things considered, not bad. Should be very tradeable unlike Gasol's albatross.

This. I can live with this.

[BillMc]

So, as this is an "opt out" extension as Chinook postulated, we have him for 4 years. This year +3. Not 5 (if it were an "opt in" extension that started after 2018-19 season, then +3).

[BillMc]

I said it all along. Spurs almost never lose players they truly want to keep.

[Russ]

I wonder if an agreement (informal) to play the 5 if needed was a part of the deal.

Hard to imagine that Kawhi wasn't in the loop. He must approve...?

For all we know Kawhi's concern for the roster was precisely that Aldridge wasn't secured to come back and he'd be stuck with Gasol as his best big tbh.... I have been critical of Lamarcus but one has to look around and wisen up.

[Russ]

This may eliminate the need for LMA to ac ulate a bunch of empty stats to secure his future.

Hopefully now LMA can concentrate on the things that help the team win.

[BillMc]

Cheers.

So we have him locked in for 5 seasons.

This eliminates the need for LMA to ac ulate a bunch of empty stats this year to secure his future.

Exactly.

Here's your money now get your ass to center and rebound.

[BillMc]

Should be his last big contract as he will be what 37? when this over?

[vy65]

I now know how people can delude themselves so much into thinking Donald J. Trump would make a good president.

RIP Spurs

[raybies]

Cheers.

RIP Spurs

Look at the bright side.

Popovich never deluded himself about Trump and he engineered this deal.

[Chinook]

Should be his last big contract as he will be what 37? when this over?

Only if you don't count his upcoming 2022 $50M/3 deal a "big contract".

[vy65]

$170 MM for Pau, Patty, and LaMarcus.

Let that sink in.

[raybies]

Only if you don't count his upcoming 2022 $50M/3 deal a "big contract".

3/48*

[Chinook]

3/48*

Gotta count for inflation, broheim.

[raybies]

Gotta count for inflation, broheim.

LMA's next contract won't be for money -- just a piece of the team.

All things considered, not bad. Should be very tradeable unlike Gasol's albatross.

It’s sad to that the team is in a state where we’re well it’s not as bad as other we did. Btw don’t forget about mills who made Livingston look like a basketball god
