    For Spurs, it's better to have Howard going to Rockets than to Lakers because it removes a team with cap space.

    Right now these are the team with more than the MLE in cap sapce:
    Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, Milwaukee, Orlando, Philadelphia and Sacramento.

    I really hope Spurs will pick the cap space + room exception option. I feel it's now a buyers market.
    And if Kirilenko was adamant in playing for a contender, this list of teams bodes well for us

    Why do people keep discussing amnesty Kobe Bryant is like some type of option? That's like saying amnesty Tim Duncan, it.

    I kinda like the idea of Kenyon because like Marion he has deceptively quick feets and could relay Boris on Lebron.

    I know we were excited about Kawhi on Lebron but we had the most success with bigger guys on smaller guys :
    Green on Curry
    Kawhi on Tompson
    Boris on Lebron
    Kawhi on Wade

    That was the best matchups, and Kenyon can do it just like Boris did.

    Kobe has one year left on his contract worth $30m, and he's injured. If he's not projected to play or contribute next season, why not amnesty him? He can still rehab and you re-sign him to a new deal next year. You're still paying him his salary, you just aren't paying the luxury tax associated with it.

    Not really because Tim Duncan is not overpaid like Kobe. Kobe is going to earn around $30M this year I believe and possibly miss most of the year rehabbing.

    Diaw wasn't really that good on James. Literally, the only reason why he didn't get destroyed was because James was passive most of the time. That's not to say Diaw didn't show good mobility and sound defensive technique. But it was clear he was too slow to guard James when he wasn't shooting jumpers or trying to back him down. In no way, shape or form would I consider Diaw to be the best option the team has to defend James. He's probably third right now.

    Yeah you also think Green is the best one lol. Boris was fantastic and a lot of it came from taking the option of working in the post away.

    Anyone with eyes saw that Boris was best Bronbron defender.

    But you still don't amnesty him we all know that. As logical as it sounds it'll never happen, that's LA's golden child.

    No one made Lebron do anything. Not even Kawai. Lebron got what he wanted when he wanted the whole series. The only reason he struggled at the beginning of the series is because he was settling. Our defensive gameplan was to not let the others beat us and let Lebron get what he wanted.

    Didn't see it that way. I really don't have much knowledge on those things. I'm still learning though and what you said makes sense.

    No, nothing came from that. When Diaw guarded James, he had his two best performance, and they led to Spurs losses. Diaw needed a lot more help than Leonard or Green needed (mainly because Duncan was shadowing), so the defense in general was worse, even if James' post game was dampened (it wasn't). Lebron just kept blowing by Diaw when he needed a basket. Those two factors explain why Diaw had such a bad plus-minus in Game 7.

    If you mean because he's an immature pouting pussy whose ego wouldn't be able to handle it even if it saved his organization huge amounts of money and helped his team, I agree. His fragile vagina is the only reason not to amnesty his dumb ass.

    LeBron mostly shot jumper over everyone in game 7...

    Lots of revisionist history here.

    See my post above. Your take has merit. When you build a monster by feeding that ego for almost two decades, expect to keep feeding it or have it turn on you.

    Yea he doesn't know what the word "sacrifice" means. That word probably doesn't even register in his foreign vocabulary either.

    No revisionist history. Lebron's jumpers explain why the Heat won that game. But Lebron beating Diaw explains why Diaw had poor numbers. He wasn't shooting over Boris; he was going around him. It was the Spurs' game plan to let James shoot jumpers. That he did that was not Leonard's or Green's fault. It was Diaw's fault that he wasn't able to stay with James.

    True, the man puts butts in seats. I mean we just experienced a similar scenario with our own Spurs. A lot of objective fans like myself wanted Ginobili out of the team or to resign for the veteran's minimum. What happened? FO went with the loyalty route and overpaid a 35 year old SG (more like 39 because of the intensity he plays with and the beating he's taken throughout his career) a good $7M year contract when that extra $$$ could have come in handy in helping us sign a better FA than Belinelli. I'm still hopeful that the FO has A's under their sleeve and can bring in a decent player.

    LeBron never successfully posted Boris that's a fact. Now I don't remember every minute of game 7 but it was still obvious that Boris did the best job overall.
