Omg I am laughing now and I havent even read any of them.
WOW. WOW. WOW. JUST READ THIS NOW. I was furious with the Mills contract, but now I need to go away from Basketball and not even think about it for a long while.
I'm still a Spurs fan, but get your ass out of there if you want to win, Kawhi. You're not going to win anything with this front office that has relied on getting lucky with the lottery and then getting lucky with late picks to win Championships. They've fed off of greatness. If they have to build a team from scratch without getting lucky, they have no clue who to sign and for what amount of money.
God I'm nauseous. Just when I thought PATFO couldn't sink any lower. How can anyone defend them at this point? I won't blame Kawhi one bit when he bails in a year.
Kawhi should ask for a trade to the Cavs. The Spurs can have Irving. That's about all they deserve at this point.
After seeing this contract, they're not even close to being in the running for Irving. This contract pretty much proves that.
All I can think of is that the LMA trade is going down and the Spurs needed to secure a skilled big. Same thing BillMc is saying. Otherwise?
Please sticky this thread; total meltdowns!! Lol

led defining match-up: David West took advantage of Pau GAsol
There were always two reasons, primarily, that the Spurs don’t matchup well with the Warriors. Those reasons are called LaMarcus Aldridge and Pau Gasol. There was a notion that size and physicality would hurt the Warriors. But the truth is speed and athleticism hurts the Warriors. Size doesn’t quite give the Warriors fits. And Gasol especially doesn’t.West won the matchup. Gasol looked older than 36 and though he had 12 points and 10 rebounds in 20-plus minutes, he was a liability on the defensive end. He was exploited by the Warriors, creating the openings for Durant. David West — who had six points, four rebounds and five assists in just shy of 18 minutes — helped facilitate the exploiting of Gasol.
This is why the David Lee injury hurt the Spurs. San Antonio has no option but to play Gasol — who despite his good-looking numbers, aided by a couple tip-ins was a minus-8, the worst of all Spurs reserves. West was a plus-6.
Lol, you guys are scaring me. Do y'all honestly think it's a real possibility that Kawhi leaves eventually? Serious question. If he leaves, this franchise is ed.
Definitely a real possibility. He sees all these loyalty contracts being handed out but no loyalty being given to himself.
Declining player options to sign even bigger contracts with the Spurs. Max slot means with the way things have transpired this season. They're passing loyalty contracts like they're going out of style, what's the point of having a max slot.
Damn, that sux to hear :-/
I still can't get over how disgusting this deal is. Holy . WTF was Pop thinking.
i dont get why everyone is so anxious to justify kawhi leaving, as if the spurs have let him down. Did the spurs not give him a great team from day one? handed the keys, protected and refined and featured etc etc etc People are talking as if we're the nets, spurs fans are spoiled but this has gone too far. Its really hard to have a championship favorite team every single year. Where is this historical precedent that superstars should expect their teammates to be great every year? Kawhi hasnt even suffered anything yet! Hes had tons of help that guys like lillard, wall, davis etc only dreamed about. Sure, its not GSW level of colluded talent but that was never going to happen in san antonio no matter who says what. This season will likely be difficult especially with LMA coming out and admitting he's a giant pussy but he'll still have more help than 85% of the league (precisely from the players everyone here spends their time ting on), and nothing worse than the rebuilding tank team that most super star nº1 players start their career with. The FO undoubtedly discusses every move with him, and if he leaves after one poor season hes an ingrate. after 2012-2015, he owes the spurs AT LEAST 2 more years and though last year hurt it was still a good year! Since when is making the WCF and losing after sustaining injuries to your starting PG and MVP candidate best player a bad season? I wish the team played more like before, and that LMA wasnt a pussy, etc etc but like it or not they were still a top 3 team last year, and this year have AT WORST gone from top 3 to 10th best. OH NO! poor kawhi! leave before they ruin you!!!!!!!11!
doesnt seem like trolling from some people, and i dont get it.
Why do these people have jobs?
Man...Manu fans always hating on Kawhi.
Really starting to despise these argies.
I think you are correct. Posters around here that keep asking this, think about this for a while....Kawhi keeps talking about winning Championships over the MVP and other individual awards. Either he's saying the right thing, or like I think/believe, he really doesn't give a about those awards and only cares about Championships.
If he has a burning desire to win, how the do you think all these moves will sit with him? Not being able to compete for a Championship, I don't think he will like that at all. Think about that for a while next time anyone asks if he might leave. His goals seem to be team oriented, and it seems that the Spurs are doing a poor job at that side of things. Kawhi cannot be happy with that. He very well could ask to be traded before his contract is even up for renewal.
Maybe they think it'll make him tradable at the end of this season given it'll essentially be an expiring contract with the third year only partially guaranteed. Give him his money as loyalty for opting out, along with the possibility of being traded. There has to be something more to this, just seems too ridiculous.
Gasoftdridge for another season. Can't wait to see them fail miserably posting up and Pau jogging back on defense.
And the 50 million microwave player who will show up 1 out of 5 showings while posting 1-8/2-10 shooting numbers in the bad outings. Meanwhile Parker being delusional enough to think he will back in MVP form when he comes back. Kawhi winning MVP is literally the only thing to look forward to right now.
We really need to see what this deal looks like in year 3. If it's a minimal guarantee, which RC hopefully negotiated in order to give two big years, then his contract looks a lot better than at first blush (still not good). It will hamper the Spurs next offseason but allow them to stay over the cap if they chose (MLE), and if a minimal guarantee will be an expiring deal as soon as FA is over. If need be, they can dump him after next FA for a minimal cost.
If it's a big year 3 guarantee, I have no words.
This is nothing less than roaring, out-of-control incompetence. Pau must be laughing his ass off.
Played the Spurs like a ing Spanish guitar.
