Thanks gents that rule makes even more sense
Spurs have real leverage. I'm liking their chances in making the right move long-term.
I wish the NBAPA and owners had had the foresight to add in a clause where a DPE player gets paid the full amount of the contract in cash, but only the ordinary max gets counted towards the cap and tax. You want to incentivize teams to draft star players and those star players to stay, while the current system does the opposite.

what are you smoking
Agree with a lot of these takes tbh. The situation reeks of his "group" being extremely inexperienced and having no clue about how the Spurs organization operates. Jabari, Jalen Rose, etc. have been their mouthpieces and the Spurs are starting to play their hand through Woj.
Can't wait for this er to report to camp and stfu and play with no extension. Earn your pay and extension like everyone else.
Source? Or is this just conjecture from the fact Peter Holt and his wife are Republican? It says so on his Wikipedia page and well...he’s white and Texan. Not surprised he has a confederate flag hiding somewhere.
All the more reason for LeBron not to go here then. LeBron has been quite vocal about his politics and another mouthpiece, I imagine, would not bode well for the front office. His son recently committed to a school in Los Angeles if I remember, and he was quite vocal about family being the reason for committting to a team; I doubt that idiot J.R. Smith counts as family. The only reasons that make sense for him to go here is Popovich and the fact he’s playing with fewer morons than he did in Cleveland.
I wonder if the Celtics would put forward the same deal for Tatum today after his play in the playoffs seemed to go to a new level. After all, Kwahi at this point is damaged goods, either physically or mentally.
TBH I could see Pop postponing retirement just to coincide with Lebron's last years since he's been the greatest player since MJ. I can see that happening for only that reason. None of the other players, including Kawhi, is reason enough for Pop to delay his well-deserved retirement.
dafuq?
Those are the greatest (wing) players since MJ.
Plus $20 says Pop hates Kawhi now.
just saw your profile pic.
the people not happy with his politics. If you are mad or offended that Pop is using his platform to speak out about racism then you are a racist and can get the off this planet.
Pop probably doesn't know what he's doing after 2020 and at anyone who believes any of these so called insiders...
bc of Woj's trash article not citing any sources?
Hope so. Hes not a max player. Never led spurs to anything. Never will
The supermax is the only way Kawhi stays. Don't think too highly of yourselves spurmfan the surrounding cast sucks and the money is the only thing you have in your favor over the Lakers
I hope players learned from David West and Rudy Gay to never take a discount for this team
She kind of supported SA's position after the two dopes spoke.
Harsh but true. ST tries to nickel and dime every player. Prior to signing his current deal, most STers wanted him for like 5 years/60 mill.
Well, I've said before that's the part of Phil that Pop can't match. He is way better coach than Phil but his personality doesn't allow him to handle some players.
I can't imagine Pop trying to coach MJ when he changed the designated play in a crucial TO or Kobe when he was telling his teammates "get the f*ck out of the way"..., or Rodman and his unprofessional behavior....
Phil didn't exactly love Kobe but he could coach him, Pop could barely deal w/Dedmon...
"HUGE DIFFERENCE"..If Kawhi plays in other city next season for $180M that means he was traded and got a $180M 4-5 years.
But the Spurs are asking him to play a whole season more without a long-term contract...That's why he will ask for a trade if he doesn't get the extension, he wants the security that only a 4-5 years contract can give now...
Kawhitter didn’t even attend poop’s funeral tbh. No way poop lets Kawhitter resign with this team. Unless he retires.
