Honestly i wouldn't care to get him. But if we did obviously i'd be happy.

But right now I'd rather the Spurs get a great defensive big (if timmy retires) Like Ibaka, Noah, Gobert, etc. to complement Kawhi and Lamarcus.

I love how the Spurs have really come back to being the best defensive team and i want them to stay that way.

I think adding an all-time great shooter like Durant will be perfect for the system the Spurs build around Kawhi.

inb4 NBA = fucked

Yeah it's a rumor and probably won't happen... But LMAO at posters saying they don't want him............. :lmao

I would like to think that next year Boban becomes a Superstar, unguardable by all the bigs in the league, and a defensive anchor in the paint. Duncan and Ginobili ride off into the sunset with a championship. Tony decides to take his game seriously and doesn't play for France and fully commits himself to the Spurs. Maybe Kawhi develops Curry like handles and becomes our PG. Danny Green becomes 2013 Finals LDN. Boris Diaw is in 6th man discussions because he racks up 10 assists a game. Splitter instead of Bertans for the cheap just for fun (and he stays healthy coming off the bench). Mills remains fearless, and Simmons becomes Manu 2.0, and fuck it Belinelli comes back just as a dope ass 15th man. One can dream

edit: oh yeah and Durant comes around and becomes the perfect Spur, which inspires Pop to coach for 10 more years

Longshot, no way the team dumps Parker. They couldn't even say goodbye to Bonner for Butler.

This. Zero chance this team cuts its allegiance to Tony, sadly.

At this rate, Spurs probably gonna retire Danny Ferry's jersey so Durant can't have his #35.

What the frig is LDN?

Danny Green. Long-Dick-N***a... Back when he used to make clutch three pointers.

He's no Jimmer.

Thanks for clarifying.

Sheeeeit. I'm not a Durant fan but if the Spurs were to do this - Danny Green, Manu Ginobili, Tim Duncan and Patty Mills would most likely be off the roster. You can live with Porker because you need essentially nothing from him on offense. I imagine the Spurs would have to move Green and Mills to make this happen financially.

I hate to say this but Lebron and his weird-ass, teenage drama tendencies would be a better fit in terms of basketball. If Lebron or Durant wanted to come to San Antonio they would need to take less $$ to do so.

Meh, fuck them both.

Durant should be chasing Spurs, not the other way around.

Fuck that crybaby motherfucker

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) / Bertans
C - Al Horford / Boris Diaw (DWest) / Boban Marjanovic

Therefore
Durant is not coming to SA.

I agree that Durant will not come to the Spurs. I agree that we will pay DWest to return. I am less certain that Tony retires a Spur. At a couple of points in his career the Spurs have considered trading Tony. True, he is no longer as "tradeable", especially with his contract. But he is definitely in Pop's doghouse at the moment. Perhaps he will pick up his play and work his way out of the doghouse, but that remains to be seen. He may be starting still, but Patty is doing more finishing. Going forward if Tony is a mere role player or second unit guy - you don't pay those type players $14MM. So, I am not 100% sure Tony retires a Spur.

:lol That's a pipe dream. They are called pipe dreams because opium is smoked in a pipe!

Suppose Holt's wife--or her financial advisors--decide she should sell the team and rake in the millions of dollars in profit it would bring. Paying the luxury tax to add Durant would be a pittance and offset some of the taxes on the sale, no?

And the buyer would be getting a mega-team with Durant, Aldridge, Leonard, plus what's left of the Big 3 who might just be intrigued enough to stay around. And the new owners would no doubt feel justified in raising ticket prices. Would you pay to watch that team?

I would. No doubt. But I don't know why she couldn't do all of that by herself. There's no need to sell. If she or Spurs Sports Entertainment group want to do it they can do it.

I believe Parker knows he sucks this year and I do believe he would never do same shit as Kobe did to Lakers in his last year in terms of the contract no matter how this season ends.
