KG to the Spurs?..

[HarlemHeat37]

prediction: Kg retires, ray allen walks (miami, ny are atop his list, i'm told), pierce is dangled in a trade. 1 minute ago

It appears that KG is considering retirement..he's an unrestricted Free Agent..could a call from Duncan and Popovich change his mind, tbh?..

Garnett, even at this age, would give the Spurs the defensive big man that they desperately need, in addition to providing the spacing that Popovich loves..

KG would be phenomenal in a pass-first system, too..

[DontStopBelieving]

With what money?

[dbreiden83080]

KG and Duncan hate eachother...

[KaiRMD1]

Duncan hates Garnett

[weebo]

The San Antonio TOSB's

[Seventyniner]

Fuck that. If KG joined the Spurs, I'd have to root against my own team so that purchase punk doesn't get near another title.

And Duncan hates him anyway.

Both thinking

God i hate you...

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan is one of the most professional players in NBA history, tbh..

I doubt he would allow any ill-feelings to get in the way of a legit chance at a title..Garnett would easily help the Spurs defeat OKC in a 7-game series IMO..

KG won't go to SA. Can't think he would retire. I thought Allen would retire.

Duncan would probably be fine with it once Pop talks him into it but never happen... KG would have to play for nothing, lets not forget Duncan needs a new contract..

Spurs will have the MLE ($5M). Don't know if KG will be willing to accept that.

[timvp]

I'd take Garnett in a heartbeat. KG on the Spurs would be an absolute perfect fit for both the Spurs and KG.

Extremely unlikely to happen but he should be the first free agent the Spurs contact.

[Richie]

No way does kg take the mle. If he would, he could probably go to other places with a better chance to win.

[HarlemHeat37]

Garnett will have earned over 300 million $ following this contract IIRC..

I doubt money is still a primary factor IMO..

KG and the Spurs are an absolutely perfect fit, as timvp said..not only basketball-wise, but he would add some intensity to a team that often lacks toughness and life..

The Spurs would have 2 of the greatest passing big men in the NBA in their starting lineup..while they're both past their primes, they're still 2 of the best defensive players in the NBA, and their age could be negated by an inferior offensive role, which would be the case if they were playing together..

Their frontcourt would consist of 2 very good mid-range shooters, and 2 very good pick&roll players to compliment Parker and Ginobili..

[justinandimcool]

I hate him, but please let this happen. Please please please.

[ducks]

kg and duncan could average 24 minutes a game and stay healthy

[venitian navigator]

Doubt it happens, but as many have already said it would be perfect...

[Sean Cagney]

I love you guys but why do some make stupid threads and put a ? behind it like they heard it and it had some merit when it is just something that passed through their mind at home? This is a joke man, come on he is not going to be a Spur nor never will.

[spursince#99]

This scenario is so perfect that I don't even want to think about it cause it'd get my hopes up

[therealtruth]

I'd take Garnett in a heartbeat. KG on the Spurs would be an absolute perfect fit for both the Spurs and KG.

As a backup center? At this point KG and TD are both better suited for playing center.

[SamoanTD]

Would be a awesome tandem patrolling the lane tbh.

Don't be so sure. According to a source it's been looked at already.

[loveforthegame]

Not likely to happen but you have to make the call at least.

[SamoanTD]

Don't be so sure. According to a source it's been looked at already.

nah theyll both run out of gas the conference finals

[Richie]

Don't be so sure. According to a source it's been looked at already.

They'd be stupid not to look at it. They nerd to make the call but if he would take the mle, he will have offers from every playoff team

[Wild Cobra Kai]

KG and Peter Holt are sworn enemies from the CBA negotiations. KG would NEVER sign to play for SA because of that.

"You haven suffered enough yet"

I have a known connection lounging around in the front office that lets me know what's going on and what's being talked about.

[dunkman]

Both KG and Allen will retire as Celtics. Probably will re-sign for another season. The contracts of JONeal, Sheed and Shaq will expire, so they could add some help.

Celtics need to move on from them IMO. Pierce will retire a Celtic, I'd be surprised if Allen and Garnett came back

this. I had said in these forums before the SJ trade surprise that KG should be a legitimate target for the Spurs in the offseason. Makes perfect sense if he joins the Spurs.. Just too perfect though. Would love it if it happens. TD and KG will be playing for their swansong and it won't get more intense than that.

[spursince#99]

Nice to hear, but do they really think he would take the MLE?


They think they can talk him into it but as it stands right now no.

[Nathan89]

Say it ain't so... Another spurstalk member with "sources".:lol

[Nathan89]

I don't see KG retiring after being this productive in the playoffs. I don't know where he'll play though. Boston seems likely even though he won't contend. I don't see him going to the Heat. Spurs and Dallas could make a push for him.

[Richie]

Dallas is a good shout. They could offer him more than us but I only see it if they sign Derron Williams, otherwise they aren't a serious contender

[Richie]

Also, would KG be willing to take half of what Duncan will be earning? If Duncan signs a $10m+ contract which he more than deserves, would Garnett be petty about his career rival earning twice as much as him?

[Russo21]

I've hated Garnett since he came into the league. And i can't believe i'd say this but i'd love to have him on our team for next season.

I mean come on, athletic 7 footer, plays inside and outside, great defender, good jump shooter, great post moves, unblockable jump hook. He averaged 20 points and 10 rebound sin the playoffs so he still has game.

I've always hated his attitude, maybe his swagger and fire is just what the spurs need.

Money wise. He's earned like 200 million in sallary, not including sponsorships. Money shouldn't be an issue at this stage in the career trying for one more championship. If he's available and wants another ring, Timmy should give him a phone call and they can work their shit out together.

Arch enemies combining in their twilights together would be fucken entertaining.

[Richie]

Could you imagine KG getting the open mid-range looks against the Thunder that Diaw was passing up? Damn...

Actually, fuck this thread. Getting my hopes up for something that is never happening

[DMC]

KG will probably end up in LA.

[SamoanTD]

Could you imagine KG getting the open mid-range looks against the Thunder that Diaw was passing up? Damn...

Nutting pants in 3..2..1 lol yeah should definitely stop thinking about the pipe dream.

[Russo21]

Spurs just have to decide if they are going to go balls out for another run or blow it up. Go for KG if we think we can win. Garnett can guard rivals from gasol to dirk to aldridge to durant and griffin. He'd be a great piece.

If we decide finally the championship years are over, Trade TP Manu Jax Duncan etc. to contenders for fucken draft picks or real young dudes, suck for 5 years getting lottery picks along the way and we'll be contending again next decade..

Front office has a big decision to make on which direction this team is headed..

[Dr. John R. Brinkley]

More likely he retires a Celtic than starts jumping teams looking for a ring. I don't think that's his style. Besides, I thought he wanted to retire a Celtic? Coming to SA seems incredibly implausible. In addition, what makes us think he would see SA as a place to get a ring?

[Juanobili]

going back to Minny for a year and then retiring. book it.

[therealtruth]

Could you imagine KG getting the open mid-range looks against the Thunder that Diaw was passing up? Damn...

None of our role players can hit mid-range jumpers and it's killed us in the playoffs. In the playoffs teams consistently take away 3's and the paint and we implode because we either take rushed 3's or break offensive rhythm by not shooting.

[eyeh8u]

yes more over the hill players just what they need.

[024]

if garnett wants a title, why doesn't he just go to the heat? or the thunder? both teams would welcome him with open arms. and on the thunder he can play with his pal, perkins.

[T Park]

I'd do it in a heartbeat.

That would be the missing front court piece that would IMO put them back over the top.

[phxspurfan]

Salivating at the thought!

C Duncan
PF Garnett
SF Leonard
SG Manu/SJax
PG Parker


crazy defense.

[crc21209]

As much as I've hated him over the years, Garnett is one tough SOB and holds his own in the paint. I would LOVE to put him next to Timmy and let them make one more run at a title together. Go for it Pop and R.C....:tu

[Richie]

if garnett wants a title, why doesn't he just go to the heat? or the thunder? both teams would welcome him with open arms. and on the thunder he can play with his pal, perkins.

This is a good point, if hes gonna ring chase there are better candidates.

[temujin]

Garnett had his title already.
I'm done with these old farts garnett Pierce, duncan and this other guy with a latino name.
Whoever doesn't get his ring this year between Lebron and Durand, will get it next year.
Rose is due one too soon, before he's too injured.
And I really hope someone can clean the mess in orlando, so we can schedule a ring for this other dumb kid superman.

David Stern.

[Spurs da champs]

9 years ago this would've been perfect, but now its just too damn late.

[Holt's Cat]

Yes.

Jerome Kersey, Mario Elie, and Robert Horry became Spurs, after all.

[freetiago]

garnett is basically everything SA wants in a PF
sets good screens even if they are illegal
hes a good mobile defender who defends the pick and roll really well
he prefers to be out in the mid range area and can hit it at a decent rate which would allow duncan to go to the low block he prefers
and he has the nasty

i just dont ever see him or any notable free agent ever coming to SA but it would still allow spurs to compete
it would fix pretty much all their defensive weaknesses and he would fit into the offense fine
if the guards learned how to move around screen we would easily be a top 5 defense
and we did just have the #1 seed 2 years in a row so the spurs arent done yet

[100%duncan]

We would win it all tbh. But dets imposibble

[TheCerebral1]

Blah, god no. I don't want that scum bag even dressing up in Spurs practice garb as a joke. Stay in Boston, or go back to Minni.

[100%duncan]

Blah, god no. I don't want that scum bag even dressing up in Spurs practice garb as a joke. Stay in Boston, or go back to Minni.

So you don't want Tim and the other guys to win another one?

[Snaq O'Meal]

if garnett wants a title, why doesn't he just go to the heat? or the thunder? both teams would welcome him with open arms. and on the thunder he can play with his pal, perkins.

On that note, playing with the Heat or the Thunder will mean playing 8 on 5 ball in the playoffs. That has got to factor into the decision of any free agent.

[TheCerebral1]

So you don't want Tim and the other guys to win another one?

Everyone has one player that they despise or just don't like. Garnett is that for me. I've just never liked the guy. Sure he's a great talent a hall of famer, but he's a douche bag. I'd pass in all cases.

[TampaDude]

Make it happen.

[TheProfessor]

Can't believe there are people who wouldn't do this.

[Wild Cobra Kai]

Even to get a ring?

It's not like he's chasing something he doesn't already have, and when you factor in a HUGE pay cut from $20M to $6M, and playing for the enemy, Peter Holt, no it isn't happening.

[100%duncan]

Can't believe there are people who wouldn't do this.

[Wild Cobra Kai]

This.

I can totally see the Spurs interested. I can't see the reciprocation.

[SamoanTD]

The defense would be better but the offense as well the pick and roll from both Timmy and KG take your pick. Also the mid range shots woooooo that would be bad ass literally pick your poison.

[Leetonidas]

Tim and KG, even though I hate his punk ass, was always my wet dream. I would take KG in a heartbeat, he'd be our 2nd best big immediately and our best defensive player

[Leetonidas]

Also, more smallball fantasies for Pop since KG can play C as well

[spursince#99]

[lmbebo]

I doubt he leaves Boston. He's generally loyal to his teams. I think he once said its Boston or retirement. He's got his ring. He's made a crap load of cash.

I think if Boston truely does start in a new direction, that he may leave. But its a big if. Who knows if he'd come to SA.

[spursince#99]

how about a sign and trade? That's a legitimate option

[DMC]

KG would not bring the Spurs a title. He would not make the the difference between a series win and being backdoor swept.

I don't want to see his drama queen fake tough guy act in SA.

Some of you should just pick a more stacked team to root for. I can suggest a few if you like.

[spursince#99]

I think where he goes will solely depend on the experience of the players on that team and most importantly the coach, and we qualify as one of the top choices.

[Creation88]

fuck that puto

[Thompson]

I would do it provided that Pop waited until we were up 20 in the 4th quarter of our 4th win in the Finals before kicking Garnett off the team.

[Mr Fundamental]

Please don't.

[Johnny RIngo]

KG will probably end up in LA.

Trading Gasol for a guard and signing KG to a one/two year deal would probably be the ideal move to make for LA(assuming they can't land Dwight)

Not sure how it could happen $$ wise, but if there was a way I'd not hesitate for a second. Instant toughness. Sure there is animosity btw KG and TD, but we brought in Kersey and Ellie to play with DRob in 1999 despite some history there.

[Horse]

Fuck that phony pussy motherfucker.

[MaNu4Tres]

Where do I sign?

[senorglory]

Video game transaction.

[Andthentherewas21]

I love how many Spurs fans salivate at the mouth for a great defensive bigman to put next to Duncan that can knockdown a mid-range jumper on a consistent basis, but wouldn't consider KG who is arguably the best possible option. Hate or love his personality, the guy brings it every night and changed the Celtics into a perennial contender the last 5 years (at least when he was healthy).

I don't think it has a chance of happening (especially given Duncan's feelings toward him, KG's feelings toward Holt, lack of money to offer, the fact he said hes getting tired of moving, ect) but if he was willing you take him in heartbeat. I guarantee you KG doesn't get his ass chewed out in a closeout game after 1 minute and 1 missed assignment, then rides the bench for the rest of the game

[T Park]

If Garnett could be persuaded to come to SA its BEYOND a no brainer.

BEYOND.

[Budkin]

That would kick so much ass

Garnett and Duncan have the most respect for each other on the court. If we offer him the full MLE,.and a talk from Pop and Duncan I think it would really intrigue him.

[kaji157]

Doubt it happens hee also, i just don´t see him coming here while is pretty obvious that if he goes to Miami they are almost unbetable.
But, if he wants money, the Spurs can offer him more than most teams. Because the somehow could offer him a 2 year contract starting at 7 millions and still offer Duncan a contract starting at 9.
Plus, while i agree Duncan may hate Garnett, both seem very competitive players and will do whatever if they think they can be put in a position to win, and that would be playing together.

when you're so dominant for so long how do you began to rebuild? You can't just dispose the big 3 with what they've given us. This is so hard, but I honestly don't know what to make of this team going forward. Either way I'll still be here rooting them on.


how bout we Trade Tony and rebuild with MGK and Kawhi starting both the 2 and 3? We'd have a monster 2/3 combo that can switch everything


And another


We shall win a ring. My word is bond homie

[spursince#99]

Nice research. Although, the second one with MGK and Kawhi was a joke.

[spursince#99]

But wait, how does this DMC guy even know my name though? Weird

[mingus]

I doubt KG goes to the Spurs, but IF he does the Spurs will have a much better shot at beating OKC to get to the Finals next year. Not one of the bigs outside of Duncan produced vs OKC, and yet there was still an opportunity to win the series. Insert KG into the lineup and I think we come out on top.

[DontStopBelieving]

KG would be a dream scenario for the Spurs tbh. Too bad that the chances of it are close to 0.

[Spursfan092120]

Duncan hates Garnett, Garnett hates Duncan..it would be spitting in the face of Tim to bring him here.

[dunkman]

KG already won a ring. The Celtics were near of reaching the finals this season. He will retire in Boston.

[TDMVPDPOY]

KG is chasing the money, wtf would he come here when his already got a ring

dude is 10m short of amassing 300m career nba salary

[Kori Ellis]

I don't think Garnett hates Duncan, but Duncan certainly doesn't like Garnett. I think it would be tough for Timmy to put aside his personal feelings.

From a basketball standpoint, Garnett would obviously help the Spurs, but I don't think it would ever happen. I'm not sure the Spurs would be high on KG's list -- he will probably try to go to OKC.

[Arcadian]

I don't think Garnett hates Duncan, but Duncan certainly doesn't like Garnett. I think it would be tough for Timmy to put aside his personal feelings.

I think you couldn't be more wrong. Tim Duncan is the ultimate professional. You think he can't get over some personal feelings to make his team better? Come on.

I think it would be a great move because it is precisely what the Spurs need: a 7-footer who can score and play defense. Tim Duncan hasn't had that since David Robinson left. Wouldn't it be beautiful if Tim could finish his career the same way he started it, with a competent partner in the paint?

We need to bring back the Twin Towers.

[Richie]

Question, how do retirements work in the NBA? Could we feesibly offer him the max MLE of $20m/4 years on the understanding that he would retire after 2 and he would still get paid the rest?

I don't think any other contender would be willing to sacrifice cap room in the same way. After Timmy and Manu retire we will need to start rebuilding through the draft anyway because no marquee free agents would come here, so cap room is somewhat expendable

[jjktkk]

Since KG lives in Mailibu, I could see him hooking up with the Lakeshow.

[SenorSpur]

I'd love to see it happen, but it probably will not.

Garnett could very well retire.

[tesseractive]

Since KG lives in Mailibu, I could see him hooking up with the Lakeshow.

I expect that depends on how much he thinks of himself as a Celtic, and how much he cares about his Boston fanbase. Leaving the Cs to join the Lakers wouldn't exactly be well-received.

[Marcus Bryant]

Frontcourt rotation would be:

4 Duncan
5 Garnett

Bench
4/5 Splitter
4 Blair
4 Bonner

Assuming Diaw would be gone. Garnett makes so much sense, likely to want a short term deal and is seeking another ring. Would address the major problem for these Spurs which is interior defense.

Garnett is no center.

[SamoanTD]

I can't see KG retiring after playing so well but I guess crazier things have happened. Also remember that post game interview of him basically rubbing it in peoples faces that he can still play this game at a high level. I think he goes to a contender even if it isn't us I feel confident that we will still have a chance to land him.

[SamoanTD]

Garnett is no center.

He basically was for the playoffs. Not saying he will for us Duncan will be the center.

[SenorSpur]

Regardless of what happens with Garnett, I certainly hope Bonner and Blair are moved off this roster.

[GrandeDavid]

0.1% chance of this happening.

[spurraider21]

I think we can already agree it would be awesome to have KG here but it is also not exactly something we should get our hopes up for.

But now i can't stop imagining. Everybody begging for the Duncan-Splitter combo will be in awe at the Duncan-KG duo. The IQ, defense, and passing those two possess... damn you for putting this idea in my head

[Darius Bieber]

Also according to Hoopshype, the Celtics appear interested in Danny Green. S&T possible? Because the Spurs can match any offer put for Green.

6 pages for something that will never happen......might as well start a dwight howard to SA thread too.

[spurraider21]

6 pages for something that will never happen......might as well start a dwight howard to SA thread too.

actually... as long as we're throwing in possibilities. howard becomes a free agent in summer '13. this year as we all know timmy's 21 mil per year contract is done and will likely sign on for somewhere near half that figure. at the end of this upcoming 2012-2013 season manu's 14 million and jax's 10 million come off the books as well. we theoretically would have cap space to make a max offer

[baseline bum]

I'd take Garnett in a heartbeat. KG on the Spurs would be an absolute perfect fit for both the Spurs and KG.

Extremely unlikely to happen but he should be the first free agent the Spurs contact.

Absolutely, but do you think he'd get minutes ahead of Bonner?

Not sure why they would want Danny Green. I'm sure if hes cheap and there they would go for him, but that goes for 80% of the league. Avery Bradly is going to be the starter if Allen leaves, plus they are probably going to have a draft a guard given their position.

[Andthentherewas21]

I'll float this out there though, if Celtics and KG were willing to do a sign-&-trade with the Spurs but it meant giving up Green, Splitter, and filler (Blair, Bonner, maybe Neal) or it was TP, Splitter, Green, and filler for Rondo + KG, would you consider either deal and how fast would you pull the trigger or reject it?

The over under on Rondo going "Spree" on Pop is about 2 minutes.

[Spurtacus]

KG won't be retiring but he won't be with the Spurs. No way he takes the vet min which is probably all we are going to be able to offer after resigning Duncan and Diaw.

[baseline bum]

I would give up Splitter and Green quicker than a rabbit gets fucked for two years of Kevin Garnett starting next to Tim.

[stxspurs]

actually... as long as we're throwing in possibilities. howard becomes a free agent in summer '13. this year as we all know timmy's 21 mil per year contract is done and will likely sign on for somewhere near half that figure. at the end of this upcoming 2012-2013 season manu's 14 million and jax's 10 million come off the books as well. we theoretically would have cap space to make a max offer

If Garnett was a possibility, he'd get the MLE and Diaw would be offered the Bi-Annual exception (1.9m), probably with a promise of a pay day next season.

[SenorSpur]

Garnett is a very loyal guy. We saw that based upon how long he stayed in Minnesota - and he didn't really want to leave there either. He also is a player who doesn't like change.

Therefore, I sincerely doubt that, at this age, he'll want to pick up and start over some place other than Boston. My prediction is he either plays with the C's next year or he doesn't play at all.

Howard wants to be a celebrity in a big market . Probably wants a shaq type career
he just wants to be a free agent in my opinion. he doesn't want to "commit" to an extension anywhere and hasn't demanded a trade because there is no single destination he is eyeballing. he wants to be a free agent. he wants a bunch of teams swooning over him, trying to beg him to play for them. he wants to feel wanted. he knows darn well he won't go to a team like the knicks, lakers, heat, bulls through free agency because of cap constraints. if he wanted to go to one of those big market teams he would have to be traded there, yet he seems intent on hitting the market.

with that said, the teams that are projected to have a ton of cap space in the summer of 2013 are philadelphia, indiana, san antonio, brooklyn, boston, cleveland, charlotte, detroit, etc. mostly crap teams. dallas might but they're expected ot go hard after Deron Williams.

Just out of curiosity, do anyone know why there is animosity between Duncan and KG? Obviously they've rivaled each other their entire careers for the most part, but as Tim seems to be pretty chill and get along with just about anyone I'm curious as to why he doesn't like KG.

[Kidd K]

1: We don't have the money for Garnett

2: Duncan and Garnett hate eachother

3: When's the last time we got a good free agent anyway?

4: It wouldn't matter since Stern still controls the refs

Nobody answered my question earlier, but I think we could give him $20m/4 years from the MLE and have him just retire after 2 but still get paid all 4. The question would be if losing $5m/year in cap space during 14-15 and 15-16 would be worth it, but with Timmy and Manu retired by then its doubtful we could become anything more than first round playoff fodder without rebuilding through the draft. It's not like we could attract a top tier free agent to turn us in to a contender if we had the extra cap space anyway.

No clown I got insight from that game that Tiago would gain playing time against bigger lineups such as the Grizzlies and Lakers and that's what happened. The change of heart I was referring to was that, and it happened throughout the rest of the season and playoffs until the final stretch run where he really disappointed with his play.

You can't do that for two years. The best they could offer as a going away present is a 50% guaranteed final (3rd) year like they did McDyess.

[Cow Eye]

Splitter turned out to be a joke. Euro-league MVP? Hilarious. Fuck the Euro-league.

[MmP]

Joke? he's 25 and has shown good things

[Cow Eye]

Joke? he's 25 and has shown good things

He's 27...

And I'm just going off of the hype machine of his MVP status. I admit I don't follow foreign basketball, but if he's an MVP of any league, that league is shit.

[dunkman]

The only problem with Tiago was that he missed like 30 out of 45 FTs and he wasn't a good fit for the OKC series. But he still scored 76 points out of 47 shots in limited minutes, can't be said he sucks.

[MmP]

If you say Tiago is useless you're blinded. He was a key part of the success of the streak, the fact that he didn't match up well with okc doesnt take that away. my point is that he's basically a rookie, still

[ViceCity86]

if garnett wants a title, why doesn't he just go to the heat? or the thunder? both teams would welcome him with open arms. and on the thunder he can play with his pal, perkins.

That's too easy.He will never join the Heat,maybe Ray Allen.

[ViceCity86]

9 years ago this would've been perfect, but now its just too damn late.

Too bad Garnett wasn't a free agent in 2003 when Spurs had cap space to give max contract.He was free agent in 2004.Maybe the Spurs should of waited a year,instead of giving that money to Rasho Nesterobitch.

He was too athletic back then. Pop wouldnt have wanted him. Now that hes older and slower, Pop will be willing to take him and fit him into his system.

[ViceCity86]

Duncan KG pairing would be like Hakeem/Barkley combo.We would be 1997 Rockets.Older Manu playing the role of older Drexler.Of course Rockets didn't win.Young talent prevails over old talent,but KG is their best and unlikely shot to contend next year.

Are you sure? If that was the case then why did Portland amnesty Brandon Roy when he retired? Rasheed Wallace was still on the books for the Celtics up until this year despite being retired for 2 years.

I've googled but can't find a definitive answer. Shaq and Sheed took up $8m of Bostons cap space this year past (link (http://nbadraft.net/state-cap-boston-celtics-1)) and while Im not sure if the Celtics had an obligation to pay them, I'm sure they could if they had wanted.

Talk about hate all you want, but Duncan and Garnett are PROFESSIONALS, and professionals put aside their personal feelings to get the job done.

Only a slim chance of it happening, but it would put the Spurs in the driver's seat in the West. They would have to be considered the favorites to win it all.
