    I know there's been a lot of rumblings about Chris Paul [and the Spurs] and I think that's real. I think there's mutual interest there, I don't know how real it is given the Clippers can offer a gigantic amount of money and are also a really good team

    Lowe and Kevin Arnovitz discuss the Spurs; Aldridge and what's next for them..


    on LMA starts at 17:45

    On Paul starts at 25:30

    Listen to the whole thing, and before discussing CP3, Lowe politely s on Mills' ability as true point guard ..

    it helps that Duncan is friends with Paul, but I really don't see him coming. How in the world can they afford him?

    Pau would have to opt out and spurs would have to get rid of LMA's contract to pay cp3 what he will want.

    What if he passed away before he opted in?

    If there is anything to this "interest" by CP3, Pau can use this leverage to refinance his deal. Opt out and try to eek out another 15M with something like 3/30m. That can give the Spurs some of the cap flexibility they'd need.

    Actually, that's an interesting question. You have to opt into a PO. If you don't do anything by the deadline, you opt out automatically. So there are scenarios where he could not opt in and might give the team cap space. But him dying might allow a relative opt in for him.

    Paul is too expensive. If they're going to spend that kind of money, they need to do it on a big.
    Murray is fine for next year for what they're paying him. Especially if Parker is healthy.

    in that case would the Spurs qualify for the disabled player exception????

    Or maybe Marc could designate Conley as the replacement.

    He'd compound the fall of "The Beautiful Game" for sure. He'd reduce Kawhiso, though, and Leonard is a good enough off-ball player to still get his points

    Does no one, outside of the merits of spending money on CP3 at his age, have concerns with his fit? Kawhi has the ball a lot and would SA really adjust their offense by taking the ball out of Kawhi's hands to be in CP3's?

    CP3 is a high usage, ball-in-the-hand to create for others player and I don't see him changing. Could SA function and both Kawhi/CP3 change their style of play?
