ESPN: Spurs interested in Andre Iguodala

[SpursforSix]

Hill
Leonard
Iguodala
Lee
Gasol

That would be like a bad Country band: "Kawhi Leonard and the Washed-Up All Stars."

Do you mean...

"Kawhi Leonard and the Washed Up All Stars plus George Hill"

[Atl Spur]

The Rockets are already ahead of the Spurs without him, tbh.

Really? Wow so disrespectful! TEAMS and COHESION beats names.

[EIC]

Do you mean...

"Kawhi Leonard and the Washed Up All Stars plus George Hill"

Yes, but that doesn't roll off the tongue as well. I sacrificed accuracy for impact. Maybe:

Kawhi Leonard and the Washed-Up All Stars (feat. George Hill).

[SpursforSix]

Kawhi Leonard and the Washed-Up All Stars (feat. George Hill).

lol. I almost posted that exactly but it didn't seem quite as clear that Hill was never an All Star.

[noles1983]

Is it really such good news if Iguodala goes to Houston over Golden State? Between adding Chris Paul and Iguodala, that would catapult the Rockets ahead of the Spurs as the 2nd best team in the West.

They are already ahead, Spurs 3rd at best.

[playbonner15]

he was gonna use the spurs but then the paul trade happened so he just had to leverage houston instead. And yes GS gonna call his bluff.

This made so much sense. Players are now saying payup or theyll go to HOU

[SpurOutofTownFan]

dont know what Iguodala was trying to play here other than leverage but I bet from the Spurs side the meeting was just to get the Warriors to pay more money than needed for him. Huge Pop CIA move

[dylankerouac]

Would rather RC does something to drive Iggys price up, like he did, then not. GS gets to keep their team but at the expense of pay practically paying for the trophy.

[GSH]

Reading a couple of stories that what Iggy wanted all along was three fully-guaranteed years from GSW, and they offered it to him. Don't know if it's true, or if it's the whole story, but it makes sense.

[AFBlue]

Inevitable. When Woj said the interest to meet with the Spurs was coming from Iggy's camp, you kind of figured it was a leverage play.

[cjw]

Good for him - 33 so could be useful for full three years or hit a wall. A risk worth taking by Warriors.

[GSH]

Well you guys made that article I had posted unnecessary.

Biggest story made from a non-issue this offseason. At least he hogged up some of the Dubs future cap space.

[spurs10]

How can GSW pay two players, Curry and Iggy, over 56 million. I doubt seriously if Thompson, Durant, and Donkey are playing for peanuts. Is their payroll 250 million?

Spurs had an offer

[GSH]

Spurs had an offer

Here, I might as well post the article anyway. This explains what each of the three teams could offer, and what the Spurs would have had to do to try and get close to GSW's offer. You can see that there was no real mystery about where he was going to wind up, unless the Dubs just decided they didn't want him.

No one wants to play for SA believe it or not but market and city play a way bigger role than winning. Plus as Game of Zones puts it you have to sacrifice your iden y and individual game to fit the system which is a huge another huge turnoff

The NBA's "salary cap"!

[Budkin]

Spurs lose out again per par.

[Russ]

So where is Rudy Gay going now?

Yeah that oft talked about 'parity!'

[Budkin]

So where is Rudy Gay going now?

Dubs will still find a way to sign him tbh

[spursistan]

Warriors overpaid him, IMO..No way Spurs offer was close to that (3-year/$48M)..

Their owner doesn't care about the luxury tax. He's all in it to win it right now. One thing that will eventually handicap them is they won't be able to add depth due to being over the cap.
