weird, but honestly I think players that say that SA is the best place for him are not realizing that our HOF coach is past his prime. Making silly mistakes, silly substitutions at crucial moments (go from up 6 to down 18 or something like that in Game 6 after his substitutions with no adjustments)

as a person, Pop is as great as ever with great a great philosophy but it seems like we need Mike Bud back to help Pop out. I guess defense is still good so theres that.

I agree with Chinook (and whoever else said it) that Kawhi would be fine at SG and would become the best SG in the league. Durant and LMA have enough range that Kawhi posting up, even as a SG, would still be feasible. Kawhi is also a deadly spot-up shooter from 3.

It makes me wonder if the Spurs would dump Parker's salary instead of Green and roll with Danny at "PG", meaning he would defend PGs but not bring the ball up the court.

IMO, DG should never dribble the ball unless he has to and he should never attempt anything but the simplest of passes. Parker will retire a Spur.

KD is way too talented for old, rigid notions of position to make a difference. Kawhi can run the point forward and share the ball with Parker. Who cares if both KD and Kawhi technically play the 3?

Agree.

And there is NO WAY the Spurs turn down KD,

a top 5 player in the league, when both

Kawi and KD can easily play the 2 and 3.

The Spurs are hands down the best fit for KD.

There is no one else that could effectively bring the ball up or dribble under pressure. Leonard and KD are good ball handlers for their position but not good enough to be able to keep possession if hard pressure is applied constantly.

KD should sign for 1yr with the Spurs and resign a 4yr/Max deal. It'd be pretty much be the same contract he'd sign if he left OKC the following year after option out the +1.

Spurs just gotta have a Max slot next year and with the cap going up again even more it should work..

Like I said, it's very obvious where the best basketball fit would be for KD.

Only things that will prevent him coming are loyalty and the fact the Thunder can pay him 40 million more.

Now, 40 million for one more year isn't a lifestyle changing amount of money for KD, and it's not like he would "lose" out on all that money over the long term, since he'll get a big percentage of it back when he signs his next contract (i.e., say KD signs for 110 with the Spurs for 4 years. He'll be 32 when that contract is up, still close to his prime and likely still a superstar level player, meaning he'll probably get offered something like 90 million over 3 from potential suitors. So in reality, he really doesn't make that much more over his career if he signs the 5/150 with OKC).

And of course he can always opt for the 1 year contract and wait for the 2017 cash in.

Danny Green can't dribble, drive, finish, or playmake, and he's been our starting 2 for the past 3 seasons. Kawhi is basically a very, very rich man's Danny Green. Both long, both great defenders, both great spot up shooters, but Kawhi obviously has Green beat in every category, and actually has in between game.

I have to believe this statement was made assuming Durant leaves OKC. I think he'll listen, flirt with the idea of going to other teams and then just stay put at the end of the day. He would be leaving too much $$ on the table to go anywhere else and would take a massive PR hit.

In the long term, KD won't be leaving too much money on the table, since he'll likely get a 30 million per year deal on his next contract when he's 32. I know it's wise to lock up the money ASAP, since injuries can always change things and devalue a player, but if KD stays healthy for the next 5-6 years, he won't lose on out on much money by not taking the 5/150 OKC can offer.

As for him taking a PR hit, I don't think the hit will be severe or even happen at all (aside from the OKC media). Lebron basically broke that mold, so a player leaving for greener pastures won't be viewed with the same kind of negativity when Lebron did it.

Danny Green is probably one of the worst dribblers on the Spurs. I would take both Durant and Kawhi's handles over Danny Green's. The other problem with playing the other of Kawhi or KD at the 4 is that the 4 is Aldridge's position. What do you do with Aldridge if you play KD and Kawhi at the 3 and 4? There's just too much overlap between KD, Kawhi, and Aldridge.

Signing with the Spurs would not cause him to take a massive PR hit, signing with the Warriors though, yes. Assume Spurs can sign Durant, Gasol, and only Duncan, Ginobili to cheap 1 year vet min deals, Spurs could have a starting 5 of:

Aldridge
Durant
Gasol
Leonard
Parker

w/ Duncan, Ginobili off the bench, etc. Anyway that is a pretty solid starting 5 for any NBA team.

The more I think of it, the more I don't want Gasol. He adds to our strength (scoring, midrange shooting, passing, good hands), but doubles down on our biggest strength (anything to do with defense) while adding to our biggest weakness (soft post play). You want someone with a little more grit, even undersize if he has to be. There just isn't enough ball for Gasol to be added to the starting line-up. Honestly the best option is TD. He just doesn't need the ball to be effective. But I would love to have Parker, manu and TD play together off the bench and start Mills.

I can't understand why people still have difficulty positioning Kawhi at the 2. Forget about the numbers. You play him and KD as SF/SG hybrids offensively and use the numbers/positions defensively if the other team is playing traditional.

Kawhi easily can guard SGs but not all SGs can guard him. He would be a matchup problem. Huge matchup problem.

Kawhi would be a nightmare for most sgs. He's already to big and strong for most sfs. Would love to see that wing duo. It would be very difficult to plan for, and kd is no slouch on the defensive end. His length and athleticism alone makes him a pest.

Mills was a terrific spark plug in our Championship year but has underwhelmed since then. I'm not sure if it was his injury or change to PG but he definitely took a step back. I think its more of his new role as point guard. He just isn't good at it.

In other words, I don't think he's the answer at PG.

If we some how added Durant to the Aldridge, Leonard lineup - we would still be lacking a rebounding big. Let's face it, Aldridge likes to shoot. If he's not scoring or shooting, he tends not to be as effective or engaged. We still need to add a legit rebounder and rim protector to the mix.

Because he's not a fucking idiot. He has to negotiate a new contract with OKC and you lose leverage if you make such a foolish move to tip your hand. OKC could capitalize on it. It's like telling your boss during a review that you'll never leave even if you get a better offer.

Kawhi easily can guard SGs but not all SGs can guard him. He would be a matchup problem. Huge matchup problem.

The irony is, Bowen was a small-forward. Why? Because he didn't have the offensive skill associated with the shooting-guard position. He was a small-forward that regularly defended the guard position, and offensively spaced the floor from the corners, mostly.

Kawhi could easily be moved to shooting-guard. He has the skill, and is only getting better. And at the end of the day, the positional label doesn't mean shit - especially not in today's NBA.

They would need to lock-in on some dead-eye, spot-up three-point shooters to play off the penetration, though.

Fisher wouldn't initiate any sets though. I'm well aware that Danny would be a disaster bringing the ball up the floor. That would be left to KD or Kawhi. They wouldn't be guarded by PGs (or else the Spurs get an instant mismatch) so I wouldn't worry too much about a full-court press. NBA teams don't do that much anyway.

Btw I'm not a Parker hater by any means. I just think that if one of Parker and Danny has to go to make room for KD, I'd rather lose Parker because his contract is worse value and maybe the team could get by without a traditional PG in the starting lineup.

Losing Parker would leave the Spurs with 0 pg's on the roster. (A KD signing would almost certainly mean a Ginobili retirement) Good luck finding a pg for the league minimum that cannot only run an NBA offense efficiently but, can do it for a team with championship aspirations. Leonard couldn't even pretend to be pg. His ball handling skills are fine if he's not under pressure but his passing ability is mediocre at best (I'm being kind) and he does a lousy job of getting other players involved in the offensive flow. There's more to being a pg than dribbling the basketball around and taking mid range jumpshots (Oh right, insert Tony Parker joke here _______). It wasn't a fluke that the main reason the Spurs bench had been so successful over the years was because of Ginobili's ability to breakdown the defense and make plays for his teammates.

What are you guys talking about with leverage in negotiations?

He will get whatever he wants if he chooses to stay or wherever he goes for that matter... :lol He'd a top 5 player. That's all the leverage he needs. OKC has no leverage beyond begging. He's their entire franchise since he got there.

Because he's not a fucking idiot. He has to negotiate a new contract with OKC and you lose leverage if you make such a foolish move to tip your hand. OKC could capitalize on it. It's like telling your boss during a review that you'll never leave even if you get a better offer.


If it were up to just him? Sure. Most likely whichever is the decision. But remember that this is a business and his agent most likely -even if he's staying- want to maintain control and leverage in the negotiations.

You are right...makes sense.

C Aldridge
PF Durant
SF Leonard
SG Green
PG Parker

Bench
C Marjanovic
F Duncan?, Diaw, Bertans
G Mills, Simmons, Manu?

1 draft pick, no cap space

But unless durant takes less, and he will not, we can't have all 3 of durant, parker, and green. If we did, our bench would be completely depleted of quality talent.

Is Jason Terry still a Rocket? Does he have an interest in the Spurs not showing interest in his team's potential-free-agent center?

Who cares tbh. The more people putting the idea out there, the better

This is true, at least he see's where the best fit is all bias aside. He is not exactly a Spurs fan so to speak so him saying where he believes he should go to is just speaking as a fan of the game like we are.

Not sure if it's possible, but it will be great if it happens. No worries about overlapping, both KD and Kawhi can play 2-3-4 offensively. On defense Kawhi can guard from 1 to 4, but today there's a lot of P&R switching, KD is quite mobile. Having long athletic players is always an advantage.

Mills was a terrific spark plug in our Championship year but has underwhelmed since then. I'm not sure if it was his injury or change to PG but he definitely took a step back. I think its more of his new role as point guard. He just isn't good at it.

In other words, I don't think he's the answer at PG.

Mills got fat, when he puts on the beard he's hiding a few lbs. In 2013-14 he got himself in unbelievable shape and was one of the top backup point guards in the league.

Dominos' best options are OKC, Golden State and the East, tbh..

Considering he's one of the softest players I've ever seen, he should just suck it up and sign with the Warriors:lol
