Training camp is too short IMO. Why not start it a week earlier. I don't understand. They've had more than enough vacation time.
Wow. Thanks Ace. That's a very short 1 week training camp. Wow. Those rookies are going to be green I think.

So not a single one of the teams mentioned in the article. What an attention .
Worrisome.
The nine teams that lost money, by the league's accounting for net income (which includes revenue sharing and luxury tax payments), were the Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, Memphis Grizzlies, Milwaukee Bucks, Orlando Magic, San Antonio Spurs and Washington Wizards. Sources pointed out that by a different accounting measure the league tabulates -- operating income, which discards various debt obligations -- only 10 teams (rather than 14) lost money before accounting for revenue sharing.

I don't believe that for a second. Hollywood accounting, the type designed to drive overall player salary down.
Lol
Rudy went full KD, never go full KD
He didn't use his alter ego.... He stayed true to himself!!!
No, he did not.
Anything to give Rudy more motivation to bounce back, I'm all for it.
No Kawhi in the pic. LMA jealousy confirmed.
That time again... to see how out of shape he's returning in to camp.
Eh, I already feel like this season isn't going to be exciting. Kawhi will be awesome, but the rest of the team will be blah. And we will be a solid regular season team that loses in the first two rounds of the playoffs. Just hard to get excited about that.
Pretty much. Our best players other than Kawhi are too old and will be gassed by the playoffs (looking at you Pau), no depth, no consistent playmakers, poor big rotation, poor inside defense, no legitimate scoring options after Kawhi (unless LMA
But at least we can look forward to Kawhi winning MVP carrying these scrubs. I guess that's something?
Yay, our highest paid player cares enough about his job to post a pic on the internet!
I do think the choice of picture has some significance. One of the Spurs players had commented when Patty was signed that it was awesome and that he's like the leader of the Spurs. Gross, but true story.
Patty and Danny were big parts of recruiting LMA, so I'm not surprised they're in the pic. Kyle probably did his taxes or something.
Lebron to the Spurs next summer confirmed.

July 1, 12:30 a.m. ET: Getting serious with Spurs
If there was one team capable of luring Iguodala away from his cozy California confines, opposing teams believed it was the Spurs, who could offer Iguodala a first-class organization and the chance to keep competing for championships -- two things that were important to the 33-year-old swingman.
The Spurs sent general manager R.C. Buford, assistant GM Brian Wright and director of pro player personnel Andy Birdsong to meet with Iguodala. (Gregg Popovich was unable to attend, sources said.) There was obvious mutual respect and interest, and Buford was straightforward in his desire to sign the versatile forward, stressing how Iguodala and Kawhi Leonard would create havoc together on defense, multiple sources said.
Iguodala didn't have many questions during the meeting, which lasted an hour. Players around the league are already well-versed in Spurs culture. Iguodala saw it firsthand when the Warriors won Game 4 of the 2017 Western Conference finals at the AT&T Center and Buford camped near the tunnel that led to the Warriors' locker room to congratulate and shake hands with the players and coaching staff. That left a lasting impression on the Warriors' glue guy.
The Spurs offered Iguodala a four-year guaranteed deal, sources said. The drawback was they couldn't offer him the roughly $16 million per year he was looking for. They had only the $8.4 million non-taxpayer midlevel exception available. Still, Iguodala didn't rule them out. The Spurs' mystique was strong.
Also, to compensate for a below-market salary, sources said the Spurs turned his attention to a thriving tech hub in Austin, 80 miles from San Antonio. They even provided him information on how research is being conducted to construct a speed rail that would make it possible to travel to Austin from San Antonio in less than 15 minutes. An individual who was present in the meeting said this appealed to Iguodala, as he still sought to be heavily involved in the tech world if he left Golden State.
But the Kings also knew about Iguodala's outside interests, and they were ready to make a pitch of their own.
