A few interesting names:
Cleanthony Early: A lot of spurstalkers were bummed when the Spurs drafted Kyle instead of him. Can the Spurs help him find his game? I never saw him play in the NBA the past couple of years. Was he that bad?
Bryce Cotton: Small but explosive. Like Patty 1.5
Ian Clark/James McAdoo: Those are two Warriors being cleared to make a run at KD, right? Didn't Clark have some bright spots this season?
This thought process is what I was alluding to in my initial reaction. Once he meets with the teams he'll likely have a different outlook.
My personal opinion is that this tweet was meant as a set up for the next set of tweets sounding something like "Sources say Durant was 'blown away' by (insert team name here). Seriously considering joining up with (insert star players here)". It's all a ratings, click-bait game.
The en knicks
Trading Danny without a virtual guarantee from KD that he's coming would close the championship window for the Kahwhi/LMA Spurs era tbh.
Cleanthony had knee surgery and then soon after got shot in the knee on an attempted robbery. His career is most likely done tbh unlucky
Parson's straight up stole money from Cuban (and Dirk). Wanted to be the man, cries about touches, doesn't do squat except get injured and then leaves immediately as he can get another pay day and DAL knows he's a fraud.
Do not touch with a 1000 FT pole, SA.
To be fair, Parsons was very arguably their best player last year, and he didn't get the ball enough. Of course neither of those things will be true on the Spurs, but Dallas should re-sign him unless they get both Conley and Whiteside. Wes Matthews held that team down a lot more than Parsons did.
Parsons ends up in a random destination, if he doesn't go to the Lakers IMO..somewhere like Washington or Denver..
Dude is a fraud. Wants MAX money. LOL.
Because he's a pussy - just like the other "men" who feel the need to be wooed. Make a decision, suit up, go to work. Enough said. Look what happened last time spurs had to play the game with a free agent softy.... spurs got a solid regular season player for the max, and a 4th Q disappearing act. Imagine what it would be like to be a player on the team chasing these pretenders.
Deng should be our number one target if we aren't successful trying to go after Horford. He would be that small ball 3/4 that we need. He wouldn't be too expensive also.
Would you work with or for someone who needed that to join your team/business? Says more about you than me tbh.
Woj just said multiple teams are going to give TYLER JOHNSON 10+ mil per year as a RFA
It's going to be a fun off-season to follow..
A quality RFA being non tendered is almost unheard of. As always, I know the Rockets want to do something big, but they could have rescinded it if that comes to fruition or just not match should he have gotten an offer sheet. The fact that they did neither tells me they have serious concerns about his health.
Jones and Griffin might be listed as virtually the same size, but many listings are outdated or flat out incorrect. For example, Aldridge said he's 265, yet is still listed at 240. Griffin would easily overpower Jones, in the post.
Even if the Spurs beat the Thunder, they'd have lost to the Warriors.
Tyler Johnson and E'Twuan Moore are going to get paid 10+ per year..
Jeremy Lin and Kent Bazemore might approach 20/year
all these hacks getting re ed contracts makes me not want to support professional sports in any capacity
Man, Kawhi Leonard is going to potentially be making less annual $ than Kent Bazemore, Jeremy Lin, etc..
Danny Green is going to potentially be making less than E'Twuan Moore and Tyler Johnson
Even Aldridge's 20+ million is going to look like a bargain when you realize that broken Noah and Ryan Anderson are going to receive 18 mil/year or so..
Ridiculously good value from the Spurs' front office for the next 3-4 years..
Also, as much criticism as he receives nowadays, TP is going to return solid value next season, too..
I believe it. On the Dunc'd On Podcast, which is one of the best ones despite the two hosts subtle Warrior homerism, they have thrown out numbers that are mind boggling. But realistic when you see the kind of money teams have. Savings don't roll over like select cell phone minutes or data.Woj just said multiple teams are going to give TYLER JOHNSON 10+ mil per year as a RFA

That's why for the Spurs the best course would just be to sign all their decent stashes. BOBAN will get a big bid. And the other bigs the Spurs won't be able to afford. Mahinmi might get north of $15 million a year, and in the market he'll be with every penny. I doubt even Miles Plumlee is within the Spurs budget now that the reality is kicking in for teams.
Cheap guys like Milutinov, Bertans, and Hanga even will just be worth more on the bang for the buck despite being rookies
Only in comparison to the deals we're about to see. Parker looks way overpaid compared to Leonard and Aldridge (and any other player still under contract).
Still, if Durant chooses any team but the Spurs, I don't think Parker's contract will have had the huge negative impact that some whiners here say.
Sure, the money is eye popping, in many respects, but it's also irrelevant since it's all based on revenue generated and percentage of cap. It's not like they're pulling these numbers out of thin air.
But its taking massive jumps by the salary cap to mask it.Man, Kawhi Leonard is going to potentially be making less annual $ than Kent Bazemore, Jeremy Lin, etc..

Trading Green's cheap contract without a public commitment from Durant would be suicide.
And Durant is not coming. It's a shame the Spurs have to waste their time and not even get Murray signed and into the summer league just so Durant can screw the Spurs around.
+1 on the latter, it makes sense why the Spurs seem to going all-in on their Euro projects..somebody like Simmons could be great value, too, even if he's only a 9th or 10th man..
Boban's salary appears like it's going to be significantly more cost-effective than inferior players like Plumlee, etc..
