Mel's right. Durant will cost about $26 Million next year on a max whether the rest of the contract is completely flat, increasing or decreasing.

None of that is gonna happen though. That is not how the Spurs work.

Exactly. We can even start 40 year old Miller if he wants to come back, continue to bring Patty off the bench, and look towards the draft for our future full-time PG.

Nah. Durant wouldn't fit with with Kawhi or LMA. Them together is even worse.

He could finally get to be Kawhi's bitch more often than just 4 games a year...
Win Win for us

PG - Tony Parker / Patty Mills / Andre Miller
SG - Kawhi Leonard / Danny Green / Kevin Martin
SF - Kevin Durant / Kyle Anderson / Jonathon Simmons
PF- LaMarcus Aldridge / DWest (BDiaw) / NotMattBonner
C - Tim Duncan / Boris Diaw (DWest) / Boban Marjanovic

Kawhi was Durant's bitch in 2012 and 2014, sorry to say.

---

The CBA only allows for 4.5% raises off the first year base salary, so they can't backload it much. And Durant would get max base salary plus max 4.5% raises anyways.

wow Kawhi / KD / LA would be amazing

2014? :lol


2012, yeah when he was a rookie.

KD need look no further than how well LMA has adjusted while only playing a little more than 30 minutes a game.

Leonard was pretty much ass in the WCF... just saying. He missed like 5 bunnies in a row in game 6 in the 4th quarter? That game should never have gone to OT

Just posted, to be part of history

I feel like almost every time someone calls something a "no-brainer" or says, "you do it" or "you go for it", it turns out to be the wrong decision. You DON'T go for having a poor-fitting front court with either a complete scrub starting at the other big spot while Green is benched (or traded) or being perpetually small. Then the offense with those three would just be clunky.

You're right, $26.7 million starting. I was thinking the max contract was 35% of the cap with 9 years in, but it's with 10 years in, so Durant would be at 30% of the cap this year.

Kawhi hates durant. Do people not see that in their matchup? Twice already this season kawhi has went hard on durant with a not so nice after shot attempt hard push.

Durant has sneakily tried pushing kawhi hard.

The dudes hate each other...watch their recent 2 game matchup..dudes literrly trying to hurt each other. Not going to happen. Too much tension between kawhi and Durant.

Lol Andre Miller. Marjanovic would be gone in that scenario, so does Mills and Martin.

Durant coming here will probably not happen. But think about how a couple of years ago no 'big name' free agents would come to SA and now we procured Aldridge, West, Miller, Martin and possibly Durant.
