I also would not be surprised if everything flames out for the Spurs that there would be a deal in place to bring Splitter back so Atlanta can have the cap space to sign Holford.

I'm told Thibodeau had a long talk with Pau Gasol last night. Wolves pushing for him. Pau looking hard at Portland, San Antonio as well

Minnesota and Denver are among the NBA teams that have expressed interest in Heat forward Udonis Haslem

If Durant is a no , splitter becomes main option. Even Above gasol. The guy was a blast when healthy. Block on wade comes to mind. And the beautiful partnership with manu.
I'd take Tiago back. But can he stay healthy?
Ian, Pau and an assortment of foreign bigs look like our selection for Timmy replacement (or supplements if he comes back). Pau and Ian may actually be too expensive in this market.
Durant meeting started per david aldridge
Cheers.![]()
Wow. It's on. Time for Pop, RC, LMA and the rest of the guys to work their magic.
Let's game this out, what happens after:
1. KD politely declined Spurs
2. Spurs offer Pau the full MLE (ugh!)
3. Spurs sign Bertans with full LLE (or whatever it's called now)
4. LJC and Murray signed to rookie deals.
The bigs situation is problematic. It's feeling like Timmy is retiring. Boban is very poachable and all but gone. Unless West signs another minimum deal he's gone.
Don't the Spurs HAVE to bring in Mulitinov whether Duncan retires or not?
IT'S HAPPENING!

As I reported last night, Philadelphia has serious interest in Jamal Crawford.
Hopefully our guys get in a groove, and the wine and "you knows" are flowing and Pop puts it in simple terms:
"You've an opportunity to join and now lead the best, most consistently successful franchise in all of professional sports the last 20 years. Are you ready for that responsibility, if so take it."

Any news regarding how his other meetings went?
I know last year after every meeting LMA took, there was a report on how he felt about them.
Spurs meeting just ended
@daldridgetnt sources say the meeting was intense, at one point durant was crying as kawhi confronted him about his previous "system player" comment. Everyone grew closer and another life lesson was learned
All I've seen:
"Blown away" by Clippers
"Impressed" by warrior
the clippers..smfh
Any idea who actually is there for the Spurs. Has there been a reason given for why Kawhi wasn't able to make it? If they were going after it HARD, you would have to think that Kawhi would have been there. I know he's not the greatest talker, but surely you'd still want him there if you were trying to recruit KD. Hopefully they could do a video teleconference between them.
Kawhis expecting his first child ^
I think woj confirmed aldridge, pop, rc a couple of days ago but no news since then

Sources on @TheVertical: Boston and Washington have emerged as frontrunners to sign All-Star forward Al Horford.

The Boston meeting just got a lot more interesting. Are Horford and KD friends or something? Any idea why KD wants to play with him?
