    The Stein tweet, even though no specific team was mentioned, makes it seem as if he has a specific destination in mind. He did spend his first 7 seasons between the Grizzlies and Rockets, but he's spent the past 4 in Toronto and is from Philadelphia. Chances are, he wouldn't have interest in going West just for the sake of it.

    No team in the West can check all three boxes though: need, requisite cap space or realistic path to it without gutting roster and chance to win big.

    The 2nd one, Spurs don't have. They might be able to get in the Hill sweepstakes by salary dumping Gasol, along with a minor move or two, but Lowry would require more and I doubt they'd be willing to do that and pay what he'll cost. He's aging, very good but not great and has a prickly personality.
    Rumor has it he's a LOCK for Philly....

    Makes perfect sense for both. If he does go to Philly, Patty would likely be headed elsewhere.

    Lowry said his only priority is getting a ring. If he then goes to Philly he'll be proven a liar.

    The Spurs are the only contending team with a clear need at PG. Not enough cap space to give Lowry a max contract, but he'll have to take less to put his money where his mouth is.

    Not sure I'd want him if I'm the Spurs, depends on the price and contract length, i.e. who the Spurs would have to let go. Mills at a minimum obv. He's an obvious huge upgrade over Parker though.

    Eh...99% of "All Star" caliber players will always say publicly winning a championship is their priority...I just don't see him going anywhere where he could really contend with LeBron or GSW.. Which makes the MAX and young core of Philly interesting..

    To say the truth until this outburst i considered Lowry a prototypical Spur. A guy who had it very hard to succeed in the league, who worked hard, and step by step got to the top of it, defensive minded and team first mentality.
    What he said really was unexpected.
    That said i am not sure what the spurs can offer, or what would be needed to do with Parker's contract for us to have a shot.
    What i do believe it's that this is a player that is not desperate to get the max, her already has made a lot more of what he expected 5 years ago.

    Best PG on the market if CP3 decides to be a perennial loser with the Clips.

    Hes 31, but still a better option than role playing microwave Fatty Mills

    If we can trade Aldridge to Boston for Avery Bradley and 2nd rnd pick. Then trade Danny somewhere for a 1st (Portland?)

    Lowry, Bradley, Leonard

    He's a better fit with Leonard than Paul. Already used to sharing the ball with a scoring wing. Good play-maker but also good shooter. He, Aldridge and Kawhi make up a nice core, especially if all it costs is Parker and a Pau refinancing.

    Obviously he'd be an upgrade, but I'm not sure I want to throw that much money for a guy on the wrong side of 30 who is a notoriously horrid playoff performer.

    I actually really liked him a lot a year or two ago, but from what I've heard he's not great at working out and keeping his body in shape. If that is the case, I don't think I'd want him, but if he does care enough to work out and keep himself in the best possible shape, then I'd be very, very interested in him.

    I just don't want any more players, who if healthy, don't put in the work during the off-season and get themselves in the best possible shape for the upcoming season. After Diaw and Aldridge, I've had enough of that. That's another thing I also used to like about Pop back in the day. Jaren Jackson came into the 1999/2000 season out of shape and had a poor season and playoffs, so Pop cut him. No messing around, he just sent him on his way.

    Idk, but the Spurs have to at least try to upgrade at the PG/SG in the off-season. Kawhi deserves better.

    I actually like Lowry, but hearing about poor work ethic from him takes away any interest I do have.

    Bradley's probably their worst rotational guard. People are stuck in 2015 acting like he's some huge get.

    Sure, but I bet they value him more than we do. Trading LA for a guard/wing would leave a glaring hole in the post. Bigger than the one we have at guard now

    Trading LMA and still trying to compete is likely dumb. I mean, maybe they find the Kawhi of PFs by doing so, but outside of that, the team is much better off keeping him and Kawhi and being willing to move anyone else.

    Those stats are stupid. Doing rate stats with tiny sample sizes is how you get tons of skews. Of course the Spurs played better without LMA but with Kawhi; those minutes come in the second when pretty much all other starters are out.

    Its playoff stats

    Its stupid to use regular season stats to try to prove Lamarsha is worth a

    Hes breaking records at being the tiest playoff performer in NBA history

    Oh but he is a good regular season player so lets ignore that
