Then the offense with those three would just be clunky.
Meh. They would work it out imho. Biggest problem is what Apa said, they hate each other :lol

It's close enough to not matter, but based on current projections, Durant's max is $26.0 Million. That's off a $92-Million cap. 92*.3*42.14/44.74.=25.996. Spit-balling, I think the Spurs would have like $18 Million if Tim and Manu retire and take no money while none of the free agents are kept. Might also include the pick being stashed or traded. In short, there'd still be a lot of work to do.

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.
Not to mention that Durant disdains Kawhi, the "System Player." Kawhi + Durant = fiasco, especially in the locker room. :lol

Easy. Ship off Parker's $14.4 million cap hit, re-sign Tim and Manu to min contracts and sign the rest of our own free agents that want to stay for low amounts. Re-sign Miller at vet min, draft new starting PG, easy 65-70 win season.

Durant's issue is that he's been waiting patiently for James to get old so he could take the throne only to see Kawhi come out of nowhere and take the spot instead.

Welp it's his fault for getting injured, he got that opportunity last year

:lol So true. Then in the meantime he's watched his team sell off any real shot to win to save money.

Re: Report: Rival execs believe the Spurs will chase Kevin Durant in offseason
It can definitely "be done", but is it realistic? Probably not. It would likely take salary dumping TP along with Duncan/Gino retiring. I mean, it would definitely be the full blown transition into the future and I can see Tim/Manu retiring, but shipping TP off?
I have a hard time seeing them do that to TP. It can probably be done without shipping TP off (Tim/Manu/Boris/Mills gone), but would be tough.
It would be a funky lineup and you need Danny starting still IMO. PG/Danny/Kawhi/Durant/LMA. It would be small ball the majority of the time and a little odd.

I am no capologist, but it doesn't seem like the Spurs could realistically sign any max player without getting rid of Tony's contract. Otherwise you are gutting the team and, as you note, you still have to do something more.

Re: Report: Rival execs believe the Spurs will chase Kevin Durant in offseason
Put Kd at the Sf
Slide Kahwi to Sg
Cut or put green on the bench... or in a suit..
Trade Paker, Bonner for anybody..
So the Spurs end up with an 82-0 regular season/ championship starting five that looks like this..
Duncan
Aldridge
Durant
Kawhi
Chris Paul?
Where's the blue font located at?

Re: Report: Rival execs believe the Spurs will chase Kevin Durant in offseason
I mentioned this on my podcast right when the rumor broke about him going to GSW. Unlike many posters on this board I have faith in the FO. If both parties have mutual strong interest in each other..it's going to happen

Re: Report: Rival execs believe the Spurs will chase Kevin Durant in offseason
I think Parker is retiring a Spur.
They are gonna give money to David West.
==========
Therefore
Durant is not coming to SA.

You are right about one thing: except for small ball lineups Kawhi and Durant would not both be in the front court. However, there is no way we could afford half of the guys on your roster.

Re: Report: Rival execs believe the Spurs will chase Kevin Durant in offseason
I saw this on my FB wall, had to get logged in to get the scoop. Wish I understood how salary cap stuff worked, I was under the impression it was impossible to have more than 2 max players on a team w/o completely losing all role players.
