He's saying its rockets and the heat and that San Antonio isn't "the aggressive team" right now.
So it's basically what we have been thinking it is. San Antonio made its offer and now other teams are trying to make deals that are better.
What he saying?

Pretty shameful that Shams is being a blatant mouthpiece in the suns favor.
I can't wait for this to be over. I don't want him, I just want to get rid of the players that would be involved in the trade for him.
He's also saying the Spurs aren't done. They are still looking to make more moves and possibly another big move like the Durant trade to improve the roster. He said they are being opportunistic like they did with the Fox trade... that is if the Durant trade does not work out
I'm just tired of refreshing this damn threadget it done already
Honestly, he really sounded like he got caught with his pants down.
Opportunistic is the keyword, nothing on a king’s ransom. The Spurs have the ace and don’t need to rush. They can even keep their picks and call a day tbh
Count me in the camp of wanting to give up Vassell rather than the 2027 Hawks pick. If we get KD, Vassell’s main strengths will be less critical. That ATL pick could end up being juicy if something happens with Trae.
Shams on the McAfee show:
"The Spurs have not been the aggressive team for Kevin Durant ... they're not on [the same timeline] as Miami or Houston ...
"... I think they're gonna be stocking their assets for a bigger move that may fit their timeline ... Spurs have had a level of interest ... Rockets and Heat are more realistic right now."
Just wait until we get KD with Devin and Jeremy still on the roster.
It's a relief that the Spurs' FO isn't as transparent as it was starting to look like they were. The team holding off on a star trade is fair enough. The team talking about "timelines" is not. That's a fan idea and not something serious front offices use in their thinking.
Could you elaborate that timelines point?
It's entirely what they've been talking about since Wemby was drafted
80+ pages only for We Like What We Have to prevail once again
That was maybe the least convincing “these aren’t the droids you’re looking for” that I’ve seen in a while
We got Markkanen topic to 100 pages, KD deserves nothing less.80+ pages only for We Like What We Have to prevail once again
Paris merch by durant lol
It's a fetish fans have for a team to have a bunch of guys the same age and them mature into a le core together. The reality is that that isn't how rosters are built. Yes, there's a time to gun for a championship and a time to build. But you don't pass on talent for a lesser guy because he's closer in age to your star. Who cares if Cam will be in the league and Durant retired in four years? You aren't marrying them -- you're temporarily adding them to your team.
There are reasons to go with Johnson and not KD, but "timeline" is absolutely not one of them.
ScottSpurs, where are you getting that the Spurs actually offered two first round picks with the Atlanta '27 being one of them?

I read this a little earlier, and it sounds like the exact same offer you mentioned. This, to me, reads that it's a trade proposal from Pelton, not an actual offer the Spurs made.

How's that carrying his water? It's been mentioned on this board. Others are thinking it: why not just keep him?
Because something > nothing. You can’t be this naive
The Alternative is keeping him and letting him walk for nothing next year lol
