    We did say that Kawhi's prime is now and that it's starting to get wasted. The organization is in win-now mode from last season with their signings, a sweep wouldn't change that especially with what they saw in the first game.

    The great part about getting CP3 is the effect he would have on teaching Murray. He also has plenty left in the tank .....

    It would be nice to have a starting PG that can be a threat from 3. Teams would have to be careful how they cover Spurs in PnR.

    Stop getting old guys. Get young guys that can grow together.

    This isn't 2K17 where you can stock up on young guys with B+ or better potential and then work them out in the offseason and have a team of 90+ players in a few years. Real world works differently.

    CP is only a year older than Hill and he'll age better. Not exactly as if Hill has been injury free either. Not to mention the difference in talent level. Expensive but precluding a significant injury he should be solid for Kawhi peak years. That said I'm sure it's likely a pipe dream.

    He's got a point though. The reason we've had success for 20 years is because we built not bought. We developed young players into stars. The more we buy the shorter our window becomes. Look at Boston with KG, Ray, and Paul or Miami with James, Wade, and Bosh. Boston was out a couple years and thanks to a fleecing of Brooklyn and some clever moves they are back. Miami is out still. But I mean Kawhi doesn't really really on elite athleticism. He should age well. If history is any indicator though we'll attempt to sign the big star cause that's what you do, due diligence etc, then we move on and do what you do and draft and develop. I trust PATFO in this regard.

    If paul is mentoring murray you are in essence building so he and Kawhi can grow together. We must get rid of all the dead weight!

    Yeah, look at those Celtics and Heat teams. Winning 3 championships. Groce....

    We can win championships building around Bertans, Green, Hanga, and Milutinov! The Warriors superteam won't know what hit them. Hanga and Milutinov are the difference between getting swept and winning in 7!

    We won 5 over 20. They had short term success and we have had long term. Can you imagine this place in the if we were in the lottery or rebuilding or a perennial 8 seed or first round exit...

    We have the franchise player, but we don't have Parker and Ginobili. We have Lamarsha and DLeague Green. Kawhi has no help. By the time we develop these euro scrubs (Hanga & Milutinov) Kawhi will be 30.

    Nothing I hate worse than stashing euro scrubs: bringing them over on 2yr contracts.. developing them into 8-10th men.. not paying the $$ to keep them after their 2yr contract. Start over. Rinse and repeat.

    Cousins isn't a free agent why is he being discussed?

    The time will come when the Spurs can go after him (same year TP, Gasol, and potentially LMA come off the books)

    CP3 is the goal right now.
    Trade for a package that included LMA tbh

    I know Boogies on a short contract but worth the risk

    Given the big need the Spurs have for a PG it makes sense to swing for the fences. Next year's offseason crop is not great and I can't imagine Pop will want to coach a diva like Boogie. If not CP3, I'm hoping for Jrue Holiday.

    Ugh, I don't like any of these plans, tbh..can't blow your load and use a myopic approach here..

    Kawhi is still very young, he's going to need a legitimate star next to him, another guy in his prime, not an old ass ..2017-2018 should be a transition season and a gateway for the important 2018 off-season..

    Spurs can't blow their load on an aging star or waste their future on 5th/6th-tier players with no remaining potential for growth..
    This!! Spurs have time on their side ...

    In the long run, Hayward might be the best fit of all the FA's this yr.

    Also most improbable, yet doable.
    I also think he wpuld be a much better fit he doesnt help kiwi on defense ...but passing shooting and sneaky athleticism

    .would.
