How cool would it be to see Kawhi start to find himself and break into the next level going into and through these playoffs.
That doesn't happen until 2016. Signing him this summer would be the same money as extending him last year, with the bonus that they can spend cap room first.

You cannot spend the same money on two people. If you spend it on Leonard, you cannot spend it on Gasol. You can spend other money on Gasol, that's obvious, however thanks for epitomizing the run of the mill upstairs got who cannot see the forest for the trees.
"Instead of" isn't the same as "in addition to"
They could obviously spend as much as they want. Historically they haven't been big spenders.
Stop trying to be a smartass. No person would sacrifice a thing for another if he can get both.
Well, that makes a ton of sense.
i made the same mistake at first tbhWell, that makes a ton of sense.
Of course, but that wasn't my point, it's yours.
If Tim retires, the Spurs will need a replacement for him. If they decide to continue to develop young talent instead of paying talented people, they will elect to keep their options open. Otherwise why not lock Leonard up already? Why wait for other teams to get in on it? He's got a qualifying offer just a million more than he's currently getting. Probably a formality, but still. You don't let someone walk that's that good, you don't want them to test free agency if you don't have to. They didn't have to.
"San Antonio could sign Leonard to a five-year, $90 million-plus extension now or next summer, if the Spurs are willing to make him their designated player. The Spurs want to keep Leonard’s salary off the books until they have a chance to explore free-agent targets next summer, especially if Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili retire, league sources said."
You cannot sign Leonard and another guy and have them as one player on the same books. Don't be dense.
Kawhi's cap hold this summer will be less than the contract he ultimately signs. This incentivizes the team to wait before handing him a contract. It doesn't have anything to do with them letting him walk.
His cap hold will be somewhere in the ball park of 7 mil. His contract could be as high as 16 mil per year. By waiting, they can have about 9 million in wiggle room (pending Duncan/Manu's decision to retire/play)
Give this man his max deal (or, as Grantland calls it, a "market max deal" because a max deal now isn't really a max deal in 2 years with the cap jumping)!
It will look fairly good in 2 or 3 years!
Stop wasting your time. The dude is an absolute idiot.
Leonard now #4 behind Curry, Harden, and Lebron. Also much closer to Lebron at #3 than Westchimp at #5.

Kawhi Leonard is a beast. Superstar in the making. Not star..Superstar.
Just looked at it again.
