    Just In: Charlotte Hornets All-Star LaMelo Ball is finalizing a five-year designated maximum contract extension that is worth up to $260 million, league sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

    What was his agent supposed to do? Suck off Brian Wright to try to get a contract?
    Remind him that his client works for the hated Lakers that clearly colluded illegally with a player that was still under contract with his team.

    Sigh. Weak that completely misses the context of my post. I merely stated he has a fascination with them as evidenced by volunteering that he wanted to play against their FURKING SUMMER LEAGUE TEAM.

    The Spurs can either help nurture that fascination by idiotic decisions such that when he has the ability to leave, in his prime at age 26, he will. Or....and hear me out here...we can show him we ain't ing around and are all about doing and spending what we need to win. He's made that very clear.
    My apologies, my post wasn't necessarily directed towards you and any particular poster. I threw out the Lakers because they're the biggest name.

    Just the group that has taken his "win asap" quote and run away with it. Because they also ignoring the following quotes about him understanding what it takes to build a consistent winning team and needing patience to achieve that.

    The Lakers did do that. They traded the farm for Jabbar.
    Maybe the Spurs can copy that template. Perhaps Giannis Antetokounmpo or Luka Doncic will tell their existing teams they want to live a lifestyle based upon breakfast tacos, and can they please trade them to a city that better fits that lifestyle.

    Actually with Luka that’s not out of the question.

    Why for PHI to give young Lillard for Lillard and also to throw in Harden? Are you drunk?
    Theres more to it - Harden wants out anyways so they do deal with LAC. They get Dame as replacement/upgrade. It’s just a light framework not exact - something general to illustrate a 4 team deal

    An agent’s job is to help his client get as much money as possible. To not be able to generate an offer sheet from anyone to get more for Reaves than his Bird Max is poor. Maybe Reaves doesn’t care. Maybe the other 29 GMs in the league share your opinion of Reaves. We’ll never know - but from the cheap seats it appears that money was left on the table. Maybe not though. But now in addition to having a good player locked up for cheap, the Lakers also now have a very valuable trade chip if they need it down the line.

    I told you guys Reaves was a waste of time and Spurs FO knew that.

    you guys trying to make points about “screwing the Lakers” wanted to play like middle school children. Spurs don’t operate that way. Sorry not sorry.
    Nonsense. It's not middle school. It's making the Lakers PAY for their obvious advantages and level the playing field. They are almost without fail the #1 free agent destination. They have the deepest pockets and a geographic advantage 95% league will never have. And they ed the Spurs over previously. Make. Them. Pay.

    That'll be a nasty contract by year three. At least we'll get our pick(s).

    So Lopez and Reaves off the table. Salary floor not reached yet. Are the Spurs looking for more trades where they can continue to stockpile second round picks? Will they look to sign a player to a one-year contract? If the Spurs still want a center, Plumlee on a one-year deal would be good. If they want a player with upside, Jalen McDaniels would be interesting.

    Maybe a Mamu contract soon to inch closer to the floor?

    Now that we’ve whiffed on everyone else, I definitely want Mamu back tbh. Plumlee isn’t ideal, but wouldn’t be terrible I guess. Kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel here now.

    Put me in the thanks but no thanks camp regarding Lillard. Great player, it's cool the Spurs are mentioned but the timeline doesn't work. It's tempting but you can't trade for a guy who will be in steep decline when Wemby is entering the years he'll be ready to compete. Sorry.
    The only devils advocate I can think of is if you are worried about Vassell knee at all and you know you have to pay him 100M+, is paying Vassell+another vet combined 45/50M any worse than just paying Dame in that context?

    If you are doing the Bobby Marks deal where it’s Doug/Vassell/ChA pick only, the above question comes into play and makes it seem not as bad. I just doubt SA could get it done with just 1 pick

    Lopez and Reaves were never going anywhere. Milwaukee is literally the perfect spot for Lopez and they want to make another run.

    I've been on Team One-Year since the start. Unless some unimaginable possibility popped up in terms of a player or somehow they could take on a Duncan Robinson for FRPs. But that last possibility increasingly seemed unlikely and the value of short term contracts became clear.

    I still kind of like Plumlee, hesitant only because he would want more than a year.

    See my reply to poopbox
    I was playing devil's advocate. I rationalized it the same way you did.

    Here is my thing: Does Dame win you a ring I'm the next two years? I say no.

    Been watching the ESPN free agency special last two days and I swear one of these days Richard Jefferson and perk are gonna throw hands lol
    Jefferson is a pussy, and Perk is too stupid to know when he's being insulted.

    After plumlee there’s nobody out there anymore that i care for. Fingers crossed to get in as the third team in the Lillard trade and otherwise enjoy a second offseason of the team being unable to do anything with cap space

    How was his agent gonna force other GMs to offer his client a contract? Jesus Christ.

    Reaves got absolutely everything out of the Lakers he could, including a trade kicker.

    Big assumption we whiffed. More probably we never swung.

    Do you realize how much the Spurs have acquired using their cap in the last few years?
