Obviously Spurs young players need to show borderline all-star. But that would be a drastic progression.
Only one of our young players needs to have a D-Wade type of year to make SA an appealing destination for Giannis as it did to Shaq back then.
You compound that with the usual respect the Spurs have around the league, then it doesn't look impossible for Giannis to come here.

Pop running to get his agent on the line
If the Spurs weren't already within a hair of the tax and didn't already have 3 centers, 2 of which were recently re-signed, I might be worried. But there are plenty of other potential landing spots for Pau. , some team might even give him a bit more than the minimum.
hahahaha excellent post
Hmmm can the Bucks trade Jrue? Khris and Jrue for Harden? Bucks don't have much assets aside from that.
Miami can give up everything but Bam and Jimmy. That could be a nice big 3: Jimmy, Harden, and Bam. And Harden can party all he wants and hang out with strippers in Miami.
Harden would ruin the Bucks. Well he’d ruin any team but the Bucks are on the verge. Harden is an enormous step back. He would take control of a team that is miles better under Giannis’ wing.
Not sure Miami can make the salaries work without including butler or bam.
bucks can trade kris and holiday for harden and tucker. Don’t think they’d be a good fit though
Agreed. If the Bucks trade for Harden and Giannis doesn't sign an extension, Giannis will walk. He might end up demanding a trade even if he does sign it.
Hopefully, Miami passes. Just seeing what happened with the Clippers should be a cautionary tale. Don’t take a cohesive playoff team, and it up with the diva factor. Harden is just the worst.
I would fine Harden the max for every missed practice bc of his Covid childlike fit. Then I'd bring him off the bench the first game. Make him earn his respect back. If the dude wants out, but has 3 years left on his ing contract then force his hand. See if he's willing to be fined, miss game checks, and all nba/all star as well.
If he can lead our young core back to the Finals, it would be great for his reputation instead of joining up with other superstars.
I don't even feel he needs to do that much (reach the Finals). He just needs to put up decent stats and maintain the fun personality he already has. He's very marketable on his own. It will attract other stars easily. He already gained the respect of vets he played against.
Coach Bud has compared Giannis to Duncan, being humble and aspiring greatness. https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comment..._tim_duncan_i/
Oops I thought you meant Keldon lol
I'm hoping Coach Bud will advise him well, if Giannis needs to move, Spurs would be a great destination to get his rings and have his HOF career, like Duncan did.
Clippers will continue to be pretenders with Paul George as a cornerstone
Edit: he may be fine as a Chris Bosh type 3rd guy role, but as a #2? I don't think so.

Dude just completely caved in the playoffs and now they give him $226M. And people think the Spurs FO is bad
It's okay...he'll probably demand a trade in two years anyways
If it prevents nephew from winning anymore rings
Clippers gonna clip...such a sorry ass franchise...
Good Lord, what are these people thinking?
Clippers have definitely added another few nails to their own coffin in signing PG to that contract. Are they trying to do a sign and trade for Harden? That's all my simple brain can conjure.
And Harden, I hope he turns into Gilbert Arenas pt. 2. What an unlikeable, low-character diva. Detroit and Minnesota are a lot like Milwaukee. Love to see him go there or Utah.
If Giannis leaves he's going to Dallas. All they need to do is salary dump one player and they got him. Miami also has enough cap space to sign him
