Spurs going to get a huge haul for this trade after the PG signing. Maybe other teams will step up now when the cap dries up.

I don’t think that’s possible but could be wrong. Player option can only be in the last year of a deal. Only two year option is a team option on rookie contracts.

Yea, because that plan worked so well with PG..

With the PG13 + James + Kawhi dream dead in LA the Spurs might as well just hold on to Leonard for the year and dare him to walk away from a supermax deal next summer if he qualifies for it. And if he doesn't qualify then he's not the same player anyways and losing him is no big deal then.

Why? The Lakers will just wait until he's a free agent next year.

From Philly; If Lebron stays home and OKC already locking up PG. Philly is reportedly mulling over offering Saric and Covington an maybe the Miami pick, adding Fultz for Kawhi and Mills.

OKC just retained George after a rental, despite more than two years of rumors that he wanted to play in L.A, just getting Kawhi on the team gives the 76ers a decent shot of retaining him.

[bdictjames]

LeBron is in quite a bind, since he's in LA.

Doubt he goes to the Cavs, if what Dan Gilbert said was true though. Nobody wants to go where they're not wanted by the owner.

Making up for not signing Harden to 4/$60 and being too cheap to buyout Perkins.

Also, if OKC didn’t go into the tax they’d have imploded and lost all of their good players forever.

I'm kind of being facetious here guys. Lakers are Evil Empire, no doubt.

But I cant think of a more juicy karma-filled storyline than giving Kawhi to a Lebronless and PGless Magic. After taking all of their recent highly touted (by lakerfan, mind you) picks. I mean, PATFO was just doing what Kawhi and his group requested.

You see, I can't think of a more richly deserved fate for that asshat than getting exactly what he wants. And I would love him to have to be the face of that organization when they suck balls. Kawhi would miss the relative anonymity of SA after about the third home game, tbh.

I mentioned earlier, that the Cavs should at least try;

Hill, Zizic, Osman, Sexton, lottery protected 2020 1st rounder for Kemba and Batum


Hornets get a lottery pick back in Sexton, a possible future 1st rounder, and also get off of Batum's horrid deal. Getting rid of Kemba allows them to bottom out and try and tank.

Cavs add Kemba to Love and Lebron and Batum is at least useful if overpaid.

Otherwise, Spurs did an excellent job of signing good contracts and offsetting the big 3's money with vet min's and latter on rookie scale and cheap signings.

Yeah, they screwed up big time in the draft. Both of those guards probably won't interest the Spurs in the least. Beverly and Harris likely won't be enough, even if they get creative and trade us their 2019 pick where the Spurs would get it in the likely event that they miss the playoffs.

Bad news I think. Looks like he's still dead set on LA. I figure he'd ruminate longer if he wanted to return to Cleveland.

Nah, to involve the Cav's he's either going back, or he wants to pull something fancy by way of S&T. If he's just leaving, he just walks, and Rich Paul doesn't talk to the cavs at all.

[cd021]

Assuming he's willing to sign with Philly. No way they make that deal without Kawhi's consent.
Why not? Kawhi, Simmons and Embiid is a conference Finals team and probably a 60 game winner in the east. Getting Kawhi in the door and trying to sell him on staying as opposed never having him and never getting him. OKC would've never gotten PG-13 and probably wouldn't have had they never traded for him.

[FvckMavs]

These signings are quick for the Spurs. I don't remember the Spurs moving this fast

Looks like they already knew what to do with Kawhi.

Trade Mills to Philly for Zhaire Smith

Lol why would Philly do that..?

[TekXX]

Belinelli back to the Spurs? I'd rather tank than sign mediocre trash that ain't helping us win shit

[cd021]

I think it may signal that Manu has decided not to come back. It may also be the end of Forbes or Mills.
probably. Though I would've thought White would get a shot to fill that role

Murray, Parker, Beli, Walker, Green, White- that's a lot of guards, probably shows a commitment to adding more spacing and playing small, Beli, Walker, Green, & White can at least shoot.

[MoSpur02]

Lol why would Philly do that..?

They lost a shooter in Marco

[dbestpro]

I also think with the Spurs signing these vets that it moves Phil ahead of LA for a possible trade destination for Kawhi. 76ers deal combining players who play hard now with future picks makes a solid fit with what the Spurs are doing.

[MoSpur02]

Brett Brown is the acting GM in Philly. I think he will cave and give the Spurs a package the Spurs will really like for Mills and Kawhi if Kawhi doesn't re-sign with the Spurs.

If they can flip Fultz for Vucecic and move Vucecic into the package I think it gets done.

[cd021]

That's some cheap shit from the Holts though. Everyone is focusing on OKC when quoting my post, but it was more meant as criticism for the Holts than for Presti. Their stingy asses probably cost us a couple of ships smh.


I think their stinginess didn't cost the Spurs chips, they were extremely good at getting value on deals. Beli' took less money to come and ended up having a career year, Mills, Manu, Splitter and Diaw all significantly outplayed their deals during the 13-14 season.

[QUOTE]
They chose Ibaka over Harden, basically. Stupid now but not that unreasonable at the time, imo.

They didn't know that the cap was going to sky rocket, while the assumed that if they kept all 4 players, each of their salaries would jump about $1.5-$2 million a year (save for Ibaka, I think his deal was flat).

There was also the repeater tax and the NBA dicking the Thunder by retroactively changing KD's 5 year, $85 million deal to a 5 year, $95 million dollar deal- despite it being signed before the Rose rookie max became a thing.

It going to go down as a huge blunder but there were some unknown-unknown's

[cd021]

was never a melo fan, he would have a better year than before if he stays with okc though.

but i wonder if only lebron can save his soul.

He was a shit show last year, so you can really only go up from there.

Uhhh what the fuck? I hope you mean anybody else besides NIkola Vucevic who is straight trash :lol

thats the bigger picture

[spurraider21]

lebron and the spurs about play a long game of chicken tbh

if lebron goes to lakers first, the spurs lose leverage in the kawhi stuff. but if the spurs hold kawhi anyway, then lebron just wasted a season playing with scrubs while being buried in the west

[offset formation]

At least he can hit a 3.

Yep. Personnel moves reminiscent of beautiful game. Inside out and ball movement. Slashing guards.

Wondering if they plan to move LMA?

Cheaping out on Scola hurt them badly in the 2008 WCF.

Why Vuc? Spurs would already have Aldridge and Gasol-with Gasol possibly coming off the bench.

PG staying in OKC just got a lot of GMs to re-think their approach. LeBron going to LA would encourage other GMs to up their offers since they know LA will be desperate to add another piece.

The only thing that would kill the Spurs leverage with Kawhi would be if the Lakers got nobody because they'd run back the same squad and have plenty of money to throw at Leonard next year.

Did it? That team was fucking massive with Kobe, Bynum, Gasol and Odom and affected shots; Manu, Parker and Duncan all shot poorly which also affected the role players. Not sure Scola would've helped.

It would have been nice to have someone other than Duncan who could put some pressure on Gasol, Bynum, and Odom inside. I don't think they would have beaten Boston but they weren't that far behind LA that year.

[cd021]

Forbes is gone I think. No way they bring him back. White is a better option
White and Beli are both better but bet they extend him a QA and let it drag out until August before cutting him loose.

Duncan; 22.5 ppg, 17.5 rpg, 5 apg, 2 spg, 2 bpg, :wow

but shot 42% from the field and 59% from the line on almost 9 attempts per game. Spurs lost Game 1, 4 and 5 by 4 points, 2 points and 8 points,

in game 1 he missed 4 free throws, 4 more in game 4, and 5 in game 5. Had Duncan shot closer to 80-85% from the line the Spurs may have won two of those 3 games including that game one where the Spurs blew a big lead.

I think that Lakers team was more talented while the Spurs were poorly matched and also tired after a grueling series vs the Hornets and coming off another deep playoff run the year before.

Say what you want about PG's decision (i think it's dumb AF).

But holy shit, how did the Lakers fuck this up? So many things going in their favor:
-Magic the savior
-OKC being one of the worst cities/states in America
-George being one of the most Hollywood players in the league
-Hyped up young players
-The chance to play with LeBron!
-Westbrook being one of the worst teammates in the league
-The Thunder getting fucking Jingled in the 1st round
-FatMelo still on the team, another cancerous teammate
-PG signing the same 4 year contract that LA could have offered

In the end, all it took was a few watering holes, fried catfish and some bomb meth for PG to tell Magic and Rob to go fuck themselves :lmao

If LeBron goes to Lakers it's about lifestyle at this point not winning championships. His NBA Finals streak is definitely coming to an end if Magic inks him. PG staying in OKC, CP3 staying with Houston. Cousins and LeBron is basically worse than what he has in Cleveland with Love.

If LeBron wants to win that leaves OKC, Spurs, Philly or Boston.
