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.

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.

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.
So no Lopez, No Reaves. Now what?
sickening
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.
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.
Lakers having a of an off-season tbh.
Summer league
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).Shams Charania ShamsCharania

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.
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.
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.
Jefferson is a pussy, and Perk is too stupid to know when he's being insulted.
Are they not at the floor with the Cedi acquisition?
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?
Still about 6M or so south as it looks.
