That Kawhi-led team though...

[Brazil]

Why is it that this thread gets to stay but the mods will delete any thread that offends the Enriquesuckers?

not sure why a Clipper fan is that interested by the Spurs tbh...

Heck, reality is that Tim was never "the" leader. It was DROB and then it transitioned to ginobili.

dat take tho

I'd be curious to read your arguments on this one

[Brazil]

Not sure what this thread is about...

It's quite random but at the end

Kawhi is Spurs best player and it's not even close
He is getting a max extension
This team is Tim's team untill he retires

what else ?

[Killakobe81]

Lebron, AD, and KD are the only superstars in the league...

Westbrook has superstar talent as well...

The others are all just star players...

I have been saying this since the start of last year. Harden, Griffin, Paul and few others are high level all-stars but true franchise superstars are the guys you named.

[hater]

there are about 4 tiers of top players at the moment:

TIER 1: Lebron, KD, AD

TIER 2: Curry, Gasol Jr, Harden

TIER 3: Lowry, Wall, Rose, ZBo, Lillard, Aldridge, Ellis, C3P0, Kyrie, Chimp

TIER 4: Horford, Teague, Gasol Sr, Love, Thompson, Conley, Dirk, Griffiths, , Duncan, Kawhi

Hope is that Kawhi will be in Tier 3 by year's end but not the case at the moment.

not to mention hope is that MVParker will recover form his injuries to be back to at least tier 3 as well.

I would put LAldridge on tier 2 as well and above Gasol Jr, I don't think Love is even tier 4, and MVParker is tier 4 (this year) but the jury is still out on if he can still ascend higher than that.

I just tell it how I see it. Sorry the truth hurts.

When you're cross-eyed and re ed, how you see it doesn't match reality.

[DMC]

I think the Spurs are still the best option over a team like the Lakers, Knicks or 76ers. The Clippers and Warriors are obviously capped out and the Nets are train wreck doused in lighter fluid. So those 3 are really the only big market teams with cap space next season.

The Spurs are closer to being a playoff team even without Duncan and Ginobili than any of those 3 teams with Kawhi. He could make more money if he becomes a star in a bigger market with off the court endorsements but [i would assume] it would be hard for him to leave $90 million guaranteed on the table, especially with his recent history of getting injured fairly frequently.

It's hard to know his best option when you don't know his goals.

So he's going to the lakers then? Cool thnxs.

Not going to win without KL doing better tbh

[spurraider21]

he needs to be more patient and become part of the offense. instead, when he gets the ball, he immediately looks to post/iso

much better when he gets the ball on the move and drives to the rim

He knows he's a nightmare when driving to the rim, Pop knows he's good, too. They don't need to improve that area of his game.
But the team need to develop his post game because we don't have another guard/wing who can do it and Kawhi playing in the post last playoffs was a favorable matchup, a nice offensive option.

This season he's working to improve his moves and needs the reps even if they look ugly.

However, it's funny to watch, but the last two games he didn't score from post up plays but he's still getting the double team like tonight. Not bad at all.

No, he's the best post player in the game. He's already a superstar, people just don't realize it.

We all know that, but Pop tried to hide the gem until the summer. Now after two bad shooting games the Spurs are going to trade him. In order to get the attention of many teams in the league, better let the world to know his star caliber Pop!

not sure why a Clipper fan is that interested by the Spurs tbh...

I'm a big fan of Kawhi and Duncan and I watch the Spurs more than any other Western team besides the Clippers, tbh.

When your team has two of the biggest gots in the NBA on it (Tom Rivers and Choke Paul) it's no surprise you'd wanna watch a team like SA tbh. I think CN would agree

[Chinook]

Wings posting up is going to be a pretty terrible form of offense unless the Spurs get bigs who can really space the floor. It should be used in cases of mismatch only. It's one thing for Leonard for refuse to pass in the post (he's not terrible at this, actually, but he's not yet a consistent playmaker); it's another for him to bring the ball up the court and dribble into the post. That type of ball-hogging would make Anthony blush.

I simply don't think Kawhi being a top option is going to be conducive the team's offensive success. Very few teams are post-heavy now, and that's really the only offensive skill in which Kawhi is elite. He'd fit in best as a garbage man like he was his first two years, only now he can shoot better.

[DMC]

Oh yeah Kawhi was a beast. What was I thinking.

[wildchild]

Oh yeah Kawhi was a beast.

Agreed. He was a beast and improved many areas of his game this year. Amazing performance playing through injury-plagued season .
