No... Aldridge was coming here. He had family right in town, including his own son and grandmother and he was intrigued with playing Pop. Paul has no such ties as strong as that. Especially the family part. Aldridge is really into that.
Of course, I'm talking about his age:contract ratio. He's going to get a max offer which is why I didn't bother bringing it up.
Relatively speaking, I'm not sure paying Hill 12 mill would be a "waste of money" in 2017. Hill isn't a guy that depended on speed/athleticism so I don't see how he's going to fall of the cliff before his mid 30s. He's the most viable Patty/Manu replacement & a guy that has "corporate knowledge".Hill is almost a waste of money.
Paul and Parker are great friends, Tim is like a big brother to him and he loves Pop as much as anybody. And the Spurs are the only team who could be looking that can make a legit case over LAC. You're right that with LMA the team didn't have to worry about Portland. But I expect the Paul sweepstakes to be LAC, SAS and like Orlando or Detroit. There is not Warriors-like opportunity waiting for him.
He will get a max offer. But he probably won't get one from the Spurs. I'd consider it a non-starter, because the team would have to lose at least two of Parker/Green/Pau for him, and that's just not worth it. If he wants money, he'll have to get it in LA. If he wants to have the best chance of winning, he won't find it if a team has to commit like $35 Million a season to him.
Hill's a JAG. There's no point in using cap space on JAGs. They need a bona fide third scorer rather than a caretaker.Relatively speaking, I'm not sure paying Hill 12 mill would be a "waste of money" in 2017.

We'll see how things unfold, friend.
Indeed. How the Spurs do this year, and especially how Parker transitions, will play more into the Spurs trying to recruit Paul than anything we've been talking about.
i'll take shaun livingston over george hill and jrue holiday.
Sheee-it. Easily, buddy. Dude's probably hand's off though...
cp3 coming here isn't outlandish.
he's smart and gonna be tired of losing...
him being on team jordan with kawhi and lma isn't gonna make the recruiting process harder.
Let's just say I ain't counting any chickens and neither should you.
he'll be a free agent this summer. can golden state keep him? in addition to curry, durant, draymond, klay...
you know what i'm hoping for? spurs supplant parker with cp3 next season... and tim feels rejuvenated after a season off and makes a return
Can't wait until he snubs us and we settle for George Hill.
I agree with Chinook that it's closer than we think but I feel like Paul will just want the money and there's still the Parker situation.
CP3 is good friends with Lebron. You know CP3 WANTS a ing ring to cement his legacy. You bet he drops 10s of millions to play for the spurs.
Give another Max contract to another pg on the wrong side of 30? You're better than that TD21.
Porker aint even in the same class as CP3.
Dude would get the Tim Duncan treatment. And who gives a what happens after 3 years if we can ship twice.
CHOKEP3 hasn't even been to a Western Conference finals during his so-called illustrious career let alone an NBA finals. How many rings does Parker have again?Porker aint even in the same class as CP3.

So, Dion Butters?
Good luck getting anyone better than Hill for 12 mill considering 50 yr old Crawford got 3yr/42mill.
Assuming the only major roster moves are Manu retiring & Patty not being re-signed, I'm not sure which free-agent is going to fill the backup guard spot for 12 mill better than Hill. I also wouldn't be opposed to trading Danny for Monta Ellis (http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=hky3y89) if Larry Legend is willing to throw in a 1st rd pick.

career stats...
tp: 5.9 apg and .9 spg
cp3: 9.9 apg and 2.3 spg
paul never relied on athleticism nearly as much as parker... he'll age better.
Screw all these mid 30s overpaid decliners.
Lets get some up and comers who are gonna team with Kwa.
Devin Booker.
Kristaps Porzingis can something sour him on NY and Spurs get his next contract?
Have you seen Jrue Holiday play? Dude was an All-Star at 22 & only injuries have set him back but he's still 26.
Livingston on the other hand was locked up by Dion Waiters & taken out of the WCF series.
i've seen him play. i'll take livingston without blinking twice.Have you seen Jrue Holiday play? Dude was an All-Star at 22 & only injuries have set him back but he's still 26.

......then I've got snake oil to sell you.
I know he isn't running the day by day operations anymore but his wife is, but I thought he hated Peter Holt because of the lockout back in 2011?
As much as CN hates CP3, because he choked in 2015. I think he has been very good in the preseason for the most part, and would be wonderful with the Spurs.
I don't know how I feel about it this early. I am wary of signing an aging PG to a massive contract, even one who is allegedly going to age gracefully. He's kind of balldominant too. I also feel like money talks. He won't consider himself nearly old and finished enough to be ringchasing and will want a last payday (like Carmelo) b4 he does a Jason Kidd much later in his career and signs somewhere with a real chance.
Anyways, this is too far out in the future for my Nostradamus powers.
