But if he did that for the Spurs, he'd be an American hero and sold on winning. I guess when Duncan and Ginobili took pay cuts to keep the team nucleus together, they were only interested in paper accomplishments while the media and casuals circle jerked them.

Too true, I would have been singing "Believe it, or not- I'm walking on air. I never thought I could be so free-ee-eeeee... Flying in air, on a wing and a prayer. Who could it be? Believe it, or not, it's just me..."

Old TV show. Greatest American Hero.

And yeah, I would have been a total hypocrite about it. Just like you. And you. And you. And all of you!

[raybies]

Why would they trade either, makes little sense.

Aldridge will be gone for nothing in a year and as bad as he was last season, before that he was a top 20 player for a half a decade. The odds of Murray getting to that level are obviously slim and even if he does, that's not enough. They'd still need at least one other star.

Since there's no clear path to one, they should have been in on Millsap. Probably could have had him for essentially 2/$38-39M. Aldridge will make $21-22M next season anyway, so add $8-9M, plus $30M the following season and then decline the team option for the one after that. Could have then mostly salary dumped Aldridge.



If Aldridge could return a package like Winslow and Adebayo, he'd have been moved by now. It's not that they're great prospects, but as witnessed with recent moves, that's potentially the makings of a package for a star.

Heat had interest before Whiteside became mainstay and playing traditional is an hesis of what Heat have been for half a decade.

You've been here long enough.
No excuse for this nowadays, brother.
At least do some research in the cap and , much less team fit and all that stuff that goes in. Much less what another team would want...

I know, I know. Slow day and I want to believe there's something on the table. Plus im high on Zubac.

[tmtcsc]

At 1st this nicca was against super teams. Now that he's taste that sweet nectar of being on top of the world, he's ready to leave millions on the table for it... lmmfao Pussy want it easy for the rest of his got ass career

, I thought I said it well but I think I like your take even better.

[tonight...you]

I give him 0 credit for anything he accomplishes with Golden State. Fake generous, fake humble, fake tough. Just a fake ass player with acne. him and the Warriors.

We would have embraced this like Santa showing up when we were 3 years old.

Lol, I remember it well. Dude with the golden curls.

You always one of my good reads. I guess that's why I expect more from your posts.
Me? I'm total .

I'm just here cause I wanna.

[tonight...you]

Terrible show that was just after the A-Team, on their slot so I kept watching, as a kid.

[jermaine]

Dizamn. I hate Dallas. Those high1way lanes are too tiny for a professional drunk driver. You still killer in my book though. I head to Dallas, for some cray reason (like a shoot, but I don't see why, in the near future)- I'll be hitting my man up. I ain't into craziness anymore though... more into chill- live jazz nowadays.

That's been my thing, and wifey loves it, so all good in my hood.

Bro. I'm 39yrs old.. I'm with you. I listen to Damion Escobar, Eric Stanley, Daniel Davis, The Mad Violinist, an Peter Lee Johnson... I love these dudes bro... play them on YouTube for your old lady. Act like you found them. Lol

[DPG21920]

Some context on what is happening in free agent as the big fish are all mostly committed - a ton of players left and money shrinking:

[BatManu20]

Damn KD took a huge paycut..

With money drying up, I am not convinced that, as much as Pop loved him, the Spurs wouldn't revisit GHill.

Already done did, (except for Daniel Davis and Peter Lee, I will look into them) months earlier. She even calls upon our Alexis, on the weekends, while she's cleaning the house for them to play at top noise levels. Nice. Lol. We live on the same wavelength brother.
Nice.

[DPG21920]

Wow - KD taking a major discount:

And me? I'm older than many think and younger than many believe. Try parsing that out correctly!

[FkLA]

Unless Hanga is coming over just go after wings with length to throw at Curry- Klay-Durbeta. Trust the system and Kawhichael's individual greatness to generate enough points. It's our best shot, tbh.

[FkLA]

Wow - KD taking a major discount:

What a got. Actually, what a got team. Discount after discount as if they weren't good enough already.

[tonight...you]

Wow - KD taking a major discount:

So they got a 2 year thing going on, much like a few here have said. Whatever. I remember Lebron saying "Not 1, not 2, not 3..."

Vee shall zee, bruddah.

Don't be the Ultimate Hypocrite. Not now...

[tbdog]

So many teams blew their load last season.

[tmtcsc]

Terrible show that was just after the A-Team, on their slot so I kept watching, as a kid.

Lol, wasn't Dukes of Hazard on at the same time? Too funny.

[tonight...you]

And SA has how many ridiculous contracts tied into that "crazy season"?
Looks like they understood the landscape to me.

[tonight...you]

Oh yeah. I just heard, by random the Charlie's Angels theme, over the weekend and my girl was dancing like a 70's goofball and I told her that was the Charlie's Angels.

She was like: "The one with Cameron Diaz? It sounds so 70's!"

Lol.

[jermaine]

, I thought I said it well but I think I like your take even better.

I'm serious maaan! This is getting wack as !! being a compe or anymore... These s with that can't beat'em, join"em mindset.. in teams an owner's 200 million over the cap tryna get the easiest road to a le. Paying these players millions to be pussy s. Dike ass Melo Anthony saying he'll take a buyout to join Cavs or Rockets.. You gonna pay this to leave to coat tail his way to a chance at a ring!?! Couldn't be me... I'd be like NAAAW ! Your punkass can void your contract an go join your friends, or you can sit you punkass at the end of that bench an off your next contract endorsements.

[Big Empty]

Wow - KD taking a major discount:

They have a chance to 3-peat barring injury. Klays contract is up the same time as Kawhi's. Would be nice to steal him since they wont have cap room unless Durant leaves after his two years is up or takes even less then.

[GSH]

Damn KD took a huge paycut..

Durant just handed Iggy 10 Million bucks.

And WTF is with Indy turning this down?

"The Portland Trail Blazers attempted to trade for Paul George entering the draft, offering the Indiana Pacers the 15th, 20th and 26th picks along with any player on their roster excluding Damian Lillard, C.J. McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic.

“All three of their first-round picks along with Pritchard's choice of any player off the current roster other than their Big-3," said the source."
