Kawhi Extension

[Down Under]

Almost a week since the last leak came out & 5 days until he's eligible to sign the supermax. What will he do?

[alpha_HaZE]

I don't believe the supermax has been offered to him. I am not sure the Spurs will offer it to him either. On July 16t I mean, I think it will take longer than that for the Spurs to even consider offerring the supermax.

[alpha_HaZE]

To me with guys like Jimmy Butler and Clay Thompson available next summer, I wouldn't mind trading him for multiple draft picks and young talent.

But, if I am the Spurs why would I want to take any salary back? Gasol will be off the books next year and if Kawhi opts out, then we have tons of space to sign another max player, that might even be cheaper than Kawhi and wants to play for us.

I can see a reason of keeping, as a one-year rental if you wish, unless someone makes a really good offer like Fultz+Saric or BI+Kuzma, + multiple picks, that's another story and I hope it happens, but otherwise this could drag into next season. A package like that will not arrive unless other teams see Kawhi being Kawhi again. Right now they don't even have his medical records.

I wonder if the Kawhi group contacts the Spurs and bring the supermax up after months of failed gambits

[Spurs 4 The Win]

I would laugh my fucking ass off if he signs a supermax. I doubt we would even offer BUT...

What if Buford wants to hang on to him and has been turning down trade offers left and right so that he could make Kawhi say no to the SuperMax money first before we trade him. Extremely unlikely, but food for thought.

[venitian navigator]

To first make the offer and then use the eventual refusla makes sense.
Shows to all nba teams that Spurs are confident his problems are solved or anywhere not going to limit his potential.
Imho the best option is offer something over the max he could sign with another team but a lot less than the full supermax.
190 millions for five years with no player options ond no no trade clause but fully guaranteed-
That shows the world that:
1) they are offering him money that nobody else can give him;
2) they are triyng to have full committment from him;
3) the condition is to give no power to his group for five years.

If he refuses, becomes clear:

1) they know he's o.k. with his health and he can play;
2) his value is still high, to super max level;
3) not him (except for his weakened will) but his group is the problem.

Hmmmm......hmmmm

[boutons_deux]

I don't think KL will ever again be a 70+ game/year player.

His leg degeneration is chronic, and there will be streaks of games where the inflammation pain will beyond icing and require sitting out, rest, rehab.

any team that expects otherwise better have a good injury insurance policy on him.

[JPB]

Not like there was a 500+ page thread on top of ST about that.

[clambake]

how do you people still want this guy?

you people are in texas. drag him outback and shoot him.

[YGWHI]

I don't believe the supermax has been offered to him. I am not sure the Spurs will offer it to him either.

They won't.

If Chris Carter is right Pop already told Kawhi the Spurs are gonna trade him "Pop gave him every indication that he was going to trade him & he was going to try to make Kawhi happy"

I guess Kawhi would have been happier with the supermax but it seems like that deal was never an option for the Spurs.

Mmm...Outback.

He has until 24th of October to sign the Super Max

I'm not sure if I'd find it hot or if it would just be ridiculous and annoying. Your take?

[spurs10]

Almost a week since the last leak came out & 5 days until he's eligible to sign the supermax. What will he do? I think inevitably he will be offered the supermax. He will need to show he’s healthy and committed. If we see him being traded one can assume the Spurs have made a different decision and Kawhi’s team might have cost him greatly by soiling his relationship with the Spurs, who helped him develop into a FMVP.

[DMC]

Too big of a flight risk to offer the supermax. You offer that to a player who is committed to winning for your team, not who has already stated they want to leave and where they want to go, after sitting out the previous season. I don't give a fuck if it's Michael Jordan.

Andre Iguodala is a FMVP. Let's not pretend Kawhi carried the Spurs.

Iggy did not carry those worriers either tbqh

[Dex]

I think that is the point he is trying to make.

Both Kawhi and Iggy won their FMVPs largely for "locking down" LeBron, not carrying the team. And LeBrons still scored 28+ PPG against the Spurs.

If you don't offer him the supermax then any goodwill you had left is gone.

Hot at first then it does get kind of annoying after awhile lol.

That was my point. You don't have to carry a team to win the FMVP.

[KDKSpurs24]

That was my point. You don't have to carry a team to win the FMVP.
But it was more about the situation that got Iggy the FMVP. It wasn’t just guarding Lebron. Don’t forget that Warriors were down in the series and then they inserted Iggy into the starting lineup and after that they didn’t lose a game. That storyline played a bigger part in him winning it, imo.

This isn't about Iggy. It's about the fact that the FMVP doesn't make Kawhi into MJ. It's a "best player of the series" award. Danny Green or Gary Neal would have won it if the Spurs didn't shit the bed in 2013. He's got some big accolades but FMVP isn't the biggest, that would be the 2 1st team awards and the 2 DPOY awards neck and neck with that, maybe back just a bit. AS game appearances are probably last.

I rarely hear people mention the 1st team all NBA awards. That's what says he's worth it, not the one series where he woke up and played good on a team that was playing out of its mind. But he's only worth it if he's going to produce for you. He's indicated he isn't going to. Why send that message to your team and other prospective players that being a diva gets you paid?

I actually didn’t read you guy’s conversation at all. I just wanted to say that when I saw that specific post. I didn’t know who it was about. So no clue if what I said even fit into the conversation but that was just my opinion on why he won it that year. I know what a FMVP award is given for. But carry on.

Goodwill is a charity. Spurs are a for-profit organization.

Perhaps Jap pussy hair has similar qualities to Sasquatch hair that causes autofocus malfunction.
