damn, K is pretty much helen keller. minus any intelligence.
i'm sure this is funny or insulting, but could you explain?
Have to qualify this as wild rumor for the time being. I don't think we'll hear anything more substantive 'til after OKC is eliminated.
Plus, how happy is the "face of the franchise" gonna be as the 3rd highest paid player on the team?
just don't bump it now or parker fans will say "you don't know what you're talking about, parker > westbrook"I'll bust out my 4peet posts under the "heart westbrook" thread.
Never went into the Jimmer thread but how did it reach 100 pages? LolBumping this thread so it can compete vs the Jimmer one
Bah I had a good trolling line but resisted bc I have been calling out guys that are on the Anderson hate train and trolling is not my style, despite being called such.
Real trolling lines I thought of were along the lines of yea, why not go with an all forward lineup that has Anderson/Green/Kawhi/Durant/LMA and send Tony to the bench as the bench scorer, or just trade him to make room for Durant?
The statement that irritated Apo was a very mild statement that you will need guys cheap in the bench and don't need Manu to close games if you have Durant. Chinook even has Durant as a SG. And truly with 3 scorers in the team one of them should shoulder the bench at times to get enough shots.
Personally I think this is it for Timmy and Manu, but that's just a personal belief. It has nothing to do with Durant coming over but if they retire yea, go for it Pop if you think the team will be better. Manu does a whole lot for us and we need a third guy legit to be scoring. I thought to make the team balanced that guy should be a guard, but I am neither pro/nor anti Durant. Ppl have different arguments to make it work and sometimes you get who is available and build around those guys...... so I guess why not? blow up the rest of the team up and remake it. You will need some guys on the cheap of which we have some already and some are coming over allegedly. I don't even know how that irritated Apo. I didn't even mention Anderson, although he's implied in the cheap labor crew.
I did admit that it is a bit of trolling but not bc Anderson, more bc I don't really believe the Spurs will do something like this entire thing.

Here's how it's gonna go down:
1. Clippers give Chris Paul another max contract
2. Blake gets pissed off and demands a trade... to the Rockets
3. Clippers get James Harden back in trade
4. Clippers = f
No chance this happens. Too much of a rivalry between Spurs and Thunder, and Kawhi and Durant.
If Manu and Duncan return I would be surprised if the Spurs trade Parker. If one of those 2 or both retire then a Parker trade becomes a lot more likely.
As for Durant, if he wants to come you look for a way to make it work but I don't know if I'd want the Spurs to go out of their way to try and get him.
If we're discussing fantasy scenarios I'd rather trade for Jimmy Butler (doubt the Spurs have what the Bulls want though). If the Big3 retire then sign Conley and Gasol, otherwise look for a decent defensive PG, add another shot blocker/rebounder and a decent SF backup (Barnes/Deng).
The 2nd scenario would be preferred because the 2017 FA class is loaded with quality PGs.
In the off-season there was a lot of talk about LA picking SA 'cause we lost in the firat round. So if we make it far this year he still gets a lot of credit. Many players think like this unfortunately.Ya, Spurs would be fine for him in that regard, but I assume he cares about the perception of his "legacy" and about "leading his own team"..that's something you hear a lot from corny NBA people, as we saw when Lebron joined the Heat
Maybe if they don't make the Finals, this year, he could be viewed as a savior-type..
1. Fournier
2. Lin
3. Mahinmi
4. Deng
Our biggest need is a playmaking off guard/combo guard.
Conley
Green
Leonard
Aldridge
M. Gasol
I dunno about anyone else...but, I love Jeremy Lin. How old is he now?
West, Miller, Martin
with possible Pau Gasol, Durant
It is of my opinion that the LMA max contract is the cheapest contract we have ever landed
Parker Jefferson's contract is destroying all the possibilities tbh. Ideal scenario would be to get Splitter/Durant and find some placeholder guard like a Mario Chalmers.
omg
1: Fournier
2: No one
3: No one
4: No one
He is not coming here. He plays SF, same position as Kawhi. Spurs would have to move to many pieces to get him. It's b/n Washington or OKC. I say Washington b/c he finally gets to play w/ a pass first PG in Wall. Gortat, Morris, Durant, Beal and Wall would be a lineup to rival the Cavs easily. Plus it gets him out of the West and having to play the Spurs, Clippers, or Warriors. Which you are going to get at least two of them just making it to the Finals.
scarier would be the five of :
Gasol, LMA, Durant and then Anderson and Kawhi at guards,
that team could be literally.........................UNSTOPPABLE!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm worried about the D losing Danny in the perimeter against Curry, Harden, Lillard...And with KD-LMA playing at 4-5 against Blake, AD...
But the offense...damn...that would look GREAT.
But Durant knows that LMA didn't get enough credit this year with Kawhi's monster season. All media talk about Kawhi as the best Spurs player.
Even if KD is the main scorer on the team, with Kawhi's game at high level on both ends, people could say KL's still the most valuable/best player.
Does he want to run the risk of being overshadowed by "system player" in the future?
Not sure that KD would be willing to accept that Kawhi gets the same -or even more- credit than him.
Also, he knows that the fans love Kawhi's low-key personality as the second coming a of Tim Duncan...he won't be the only one as the "face of the franchise" and must share it with Kawhi.
But if he plays for Pop, he knows he has to make sacrifices. KD saw how LMA stats decreased this season.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.
Kawhi and LMA would take less shots with Durant on the team, but also Durant wouldn't take the same numbers of shots that he takes on the Thunder.
Is he willing to take less shots, to play less minutes, to be benched in the 4th quarter, to look how his stats decrease? In order to win a ship?
Hopefully, he is. And the Spurs will win it all next seasons.
