Agreed, but it's silly and petty. Why? When (not if) he leaves, yall going lotto...and nobody beating the Dubs anyway. So why not get the best package available? Boston could trump any Laker offer, but they won't because they won't give up any real assets on a 1-year rental.

No other team will either. Why? All Uncle Fester has to say is "I don't care who trades for my nephew. In 2019, when he's an UDFA, he signing with the Lakers." Or something to that effect.

Now, if Kiwi has to play out the season anyway as a Spur, so be it. Let him knock off the rust and just when he regains his 2016 form, BOOM! He signs with the Lakers. :)

the stupidest thing from kawhi and his camp, he was on his way to supermax deal till he pulled off the season..hence it was a weak year to make allnba/defensive team, yet he chose to sit out...

he thinks he has the upper hand in all of this, but in reality i think the spurs are in a better position with the current roster of young players coming through...they can afford to let him walk instead of receiving shit in return trying to build something to win a ring with gsw superteam?....

I also am chill on PG.
Not at max money.
IF lebron came and (PG) agreed to take less Im all in. Lebron obviously gets whatever salary he wants.
Otherwise i am not with the SAS bullshit that we need a big "fish" this year.
Nothing wrong with saving cap space and building around core.
The goal like Pelinka should be long-term success not instant gratification.
I would also -re-sign Randle to a reasonable deal 12-15 max.
If He wants more you let him walk.

[RsxPiimp]

sign george for the max if that’s the only way to entice him. y’all crazy. you expect to keep filling the roster with kcp and brook lopez type of players? they need an all star caliber player and george woukd fit right into the development of the youngins

i do agree that they should hold and see what the kids can do first, especially ingram. i feel like that kid is going to have a breakout season and his trajectory + off season dedication suggests this. trading him now, would be a costly mistake.

Agreed. Something like 4/$56 milli for Ju is my guess. He'd be 27 years old at the end of his deal. Plenty of time to get his big payday.

Not saying I say no to him I just don't think he is worth a max slot. Of course he is an upgrade over KCP... And would improve us but he is more akin to getting Aldridge a few years back rather than a franchise changer like LeBron or Anthony Davis. All Aldridge as a main pillar got Spurs, was a sweep. George was swept by Cavs his last year in Indy and lost to Jazz as the #2 with Russ...
Just don't see how much better we are if he is our best player and now we can't get anyone better for a few years... If KL or LeBron is leading him fine but keep in mind Russ wasnt able to lead him out of Round one...

You're just going to have to deal with paying max money to non Hall of Famers like PG13. The CBA is set up to greatly reward B-level talent at the expense of A-level, so you're never going to build a supporting cast around a superstar without handing out those kind of contracts. It's why I could give a shit about the Spurs landing B-level talents like Ingram or Jaylen Brown in trade for Leonard, because those guys are halfway through their cheap contracts and will demand (and receive) around $25 to $30 million starting salary by the time their deals are up. You gotta max George out if LeBron comes. If not maybe you still do it to keep Leonard interested in coming next summer. For the Spurs case there is no superstar nor much of a chance of one for a while with Leonard gone, so no reason to become a treadmill team with high dollar B-level talent. Once they find a HOF level player then they can start throwing out those kind of contracts to good but not great players.

dont like it but if you’re getting a top 3 player in his prime, you gotta do it. still hope we keep at least one prospect, be it ingram, ball or kuz.

anyway, it would be interesting to see who gets fleeced, should the trade go down.

ring chasers.

my gut feeling is the lakers are playing hardball, offering kuz + either ball or ingram and dengs contract. spurs probably wants the farm and but the lakers need to take back either patty or gasol's contract with the lakers also sending an additional FRP.

lol lakerfans thinking their young players are studs, if they were studs shouldnt the lakers have qualified for the playoffs last season?

spurs already got players at those positions, not great potential upside, but they fit the spurs model...whose to say if lakers traded those said players and they end up pulling a kawhi stunt wanting to leave when they are off the rookie contracts

same could be said about celtics young rookies also....

without a trade or allowing kawhi walking without receiving anything back, spurs will just continue to retool around lma and the younger guys, its not like they missed kawhi last season or failing to qualify playoffs spot...wont be winning shit anyway with gsw big4 still in tact...the west is still shit anyway after gsw/rocokets/jazz..so thats like 5 playoff spots up for grabs

the spurs will be fine anyway going forward post kawhi

I did find it funny though despite that he made allusions to just wanting to be healthy (maybe his injury was BS but he sold it) and wherever I land which did not sound like Toronto ...
But god bless them. if healthy want him with Lakers ...but I get why Lakers wouldnt be best fit if he is this awkward.
However letting LeBron/Magic/Lonzo handle the hype might be best for him.

He doesnt seem like a face of the franchise type his game suggests.
Tim was articulate and handled the media despite being low-key.
But tim was all world in college Kwa went to SDstate I could have run track for SDstate (wasnt good enough at hoops) so they are NOT an athetic powerhouse i think Kawahi and marshall Faulk are their greatest players in any sport.

i think that Tony Gwynn played baseball there. Was a coach there after he retired from the Padres.

[Down Under]

He'll re-sign. Ujiri will do anything & everything to please his group. From signing his best mate Castleberry, to saying whatever it is they want Ujiri to say in public to giving them whatever they want, he'll do it for them - he knows what's at stake.

[Fabbs]

^^ season has to play out.
Championship or even Finals appearance and duh he is staying.
ECFs loss probably, anything less then certainly I think he becomes an LA Flamer with LeBron.

Goes out on restaurant dates in West Hollywood with phaggot Durant and converted LeBron. :lol

I don't follow your logic here (Sorprendentemente, ¿EH? :lol). The Lakers have another max slot this Summer. Could use it on KD or Kawhi or Klay. All those 1-yr expiring deals they have right now in Beas, Rondo, Lance, etc. (will serve as cap relief for a team that sucks and is rebuilding - ala Memphis in the infamous MVPau/Kwame "trade" a decade ag:lol). Salaries must match for a Beal trade to work. So at least in my mind, we can trade for Beal right now, and still have a max this summer.

Rumor: Lakers will make a push to pluck Unibrow from Nawlins before the deadline. If this rumor has legs (Klutch connection), I say scrap tryna get Kawhi this Summer and go after Klay. :D

You guys wanted to keep scrubs like Ingram and Kuzma. Don't go talking about him being the best player now, or making him option number 1 over Lebron.

The lakers horrible management has already cost the franchise six seasons.

You're post is inaccurate. The Lakers offered basically the same deal for AD that they did for Kiwi. Problem: Gregory Popovich. He would NEVER trade with the Lakers and told Demps (Pop associate/protege) to not do the same. It takes 2 to tango son.

You are confusing not wanting to trade for "Playoff - I got knocked out in the 1st round - P" which in retrospect, I agree with not giving up a king's ransomPERIOD for a playoff choker. Him and Chuckbrook are perfect for each other.

Most sane Laker fans recognize Kiwi's talent and standing in the top 3. Been ranked there since 2016 IMO.

If he does sign with LA no doubt he's #1 option. Bron would make sure he eats early and often. I'm sure in his back channel meetings with him, he's assuring him and Uncle Fester of that fact.

Notice he says it didn't happen "yet". Yet would seem to imply it's going to happen. Shouldn't he have just said "It didn't happen". Sounds like he is covering something up. But Kawhi isn't very articulated when he speaks anyways so who the hell knows what to make of it...

[Ice009]

Look, I'm not knocking Lakers fans for him not being priority number 1 over Lebron (he should have been), but a lot of you guys didn't think he's as good as what I and a lot of Spurs fans were saying about him 3 years ago. He was top 3 at worst 3 seasons ago (I guess you guys didn't want to give him credit because he was still on the Spurs, hence calling him a retard), but yeah, I also understand about Pop not willing to trade with the Lakers, however, those trade packages I saw were absolute garbage. Not offering Ingram or even Kuzma or multiple draft picks. How in the he%% did you expect to get him? Since he was from California, it would have been a great story to bring him home, and since you know Pop won't trade with the Lakers, you had to up the offers to entice Pop so that it made it tough for him to turn down. Those garbage offers I saw were not going to even remotely get Pop to budge.

What about the rumors that Lebron didn't want to give up a lot of the young assets for him? Why listen the the guy that Kawhi absolutely fucking owns (Lebron) in most head to head match-ups the past 4 or 5 years? Kawhi should have been your number 1 target all along, not Lebron.

I was also an idiot that said a year beforehand when the Spurs resigned Patty and Pau to those ridiculous contracts, that if I was Kawhi, I'd ask for a trade to the Lakers. I was that mad at those signings. lol, I can't believe he actually did ask for a trade to the Lakers a year later.

I also still thought that Kawhi is most likely to go to LA in the off-season, but if the Raptors win the Championship, he may change his mind. You could have missed out even if his mind was made up to go there most of the season, winning the Championship could very well change his mind/plans.

Nice post. I heard Maginka offered a "godfather" package - then Pop wouldn't even listen. We all know if Maginka offered prime 7'1" 315lb Shaq, Pop still wouldn't trade with the Lakers. His hatred runs deep :lol

Difference between Bron and Kiwi: Bron was a free agent whereas Kiwi was not. The Lakers would have absolutely tried to sign him but couldn't because for that to happen, they'd have to trade with Pop. :lol

You have a good point there. If Kawhi was a free agent, you think the Lakers would have made him their number 1 target over Lebron, if so, that would have been the right call as Lebron's age would have to play a part in that. In regard to the Pop thing, you never know, he may have done it if the Lakers put together an offer he couldn't refuse with multiple first round draft picks and your young talent that you have now. You really didn't need those draft picks IMO if you got both Kawhi and Lebron. I think you would have been able to fill out the team with free agents looking to move to LA and play with Lebron and Kawhi.
