Zach is a VERY CREDIBLE reporter.
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/15...d-scott-brooksI will say this: The Spurs buzz is ascendant in a way that is eerily similar to what happened last January at the D-League Showcase, when a half-dozen unconnected team executives warned me over the span of a few days that LaMarcus Aldridge would bolt from Portland for San Antonio. Who knows. At the very least, the Wizards will get a chance to make their pitch.

Lowe is a very credible analyst -- probably the best on the major outlets. But he's not much of a reporter.
Perfect Backup for Kawhi,Imo.
Joking aside, its not going to happen. Theres a lot of bad tension between Kawhi and KD. It aint happenung
They could dump Green (I'm gonna throw up) and stretch Diaw to free up about $30 Million. Or they could just dump Tony.
that would be insane... in a good way of course.
Obligatory league=fcked if this happens... Durant, Leonard, and Aldridge front court...
But yeah, it's not happening. He's either staying or going to Washington.
he has kind spread his wings among league executive circles and is getting more into reporting stuff inside the long format analysis ..and he is surely not a click-bait hack, or something..so there is something here that he heard...
Would never happen and KD is a got but in , talk about a 3peat.
Come to the Dark Side, Kevin...

ITS NOT HAPPENING!!!!
It's already happened, but would get even more legs with another deep run, but Kawhi is a huge draw for FA's. If you want to win and still get a lot of the credit, there is no player better to team up with than Kawhi.
Not to mention the ridiculous amount of respect players have for Pop. These guys who are older, but not old (LMA, Durant, etc..) are probably looking long and hard at balancing money and winning. They all just witnessed what happened to Kobe. They are looking for reasons to play under Pop and Pop being the HC of the UMNT is another big advantage.
If Spurs have the motivation and equal money, they will have a good shot at a lot of FA's in the next few years.
As an aside to that, I think stars coming from smaller markets already will be more open to playing in SA too (LMA, Durant). They know what the small markets are all about and have tasted success within them.
Zach lowe actually reported a week ago that Pop always asks and always consults his best player about specific moves. They did it with aldridge. Kawhi and the big 3.
Can you imagine Pop going to kawhi
Pop: We're trying to bring in you Rival. I know you dont like each other but we need to. We also have to get rid of your mate danny. I know hes been a perfect fit for you defensively but we need to
Kawhi: Wtf.
Actually, is gonna be a 3-Durant / 4-LMA / 5-Gasol frontcourt.
Kawhi will play SG making him the indubitably best SG on the League. If Pop traded his beloved Paul George for an unproven rookie, dropping Green for Durant is a no brainer.
If we need to move Green, then Bud on line 1 would be the answer....
I wonder what Boston would give for Verde... they do have a lot of picks...
Rumor was Bud was going to give us Holford for Green. After that and Splitter, we know he'll do business.
We need number crunching to see what is possible under various scenarios. Only a few on here are really able to crunch the numbers correctly...
yep..it is always good to have talented gots on your team..I hate his guts, but i will take a who is averaging 30 PPG in career games vs the Dubs any day..
If the $$ is close and it's doable for the Spurs I can easily see it getting done.
1)Durant hates the media. Spurs culture and non attacking media due to Pop eliminates that completely.
2) Kawhi. He's literally the only player in the league who can guard you. Why not play with him? And the potential of what can happen if they play together.
3) Pop. He's the main reason why anybody would want to play for the Spurs. He's by far the best coach with the most pedigree. You know you'll win playing for him and it would be the best chance for a ring. Period.
