All for the low price of $200 million![]()
Agreed, but it is what it is. At least LMA has the potential to play like an All Star unlike the other two.
Jesus ing Christ. North Korea can't come for our asses soon enough.
LMA with the loyalty contract without needing to be loyal.
Crofl. Kawhi packing his bags as we speak.
So this move effectively closes any shot of a meaningful FA signing over what? The next 2-3 years?
This is the team that is supposed to compete in the west? And people are saying this is a good signing?
Our players stayed loyal..... after we overpaid
Pop just giving LMA some cash to buy a new house is all.
All the good stuff is already out of the house. He filled his SA home with Big Lots furni just to fill space during the season.
Poor guy has to sit on Big Lots furniture...
Did Chris Paul say he choose Rockets over Spurs because of LMA situation appeared to cast a shroud of uncertainty?
Spurs happy to be mediocre
All this loyalty and overpaying talk reminds me of this:

Derek Anderson on his dissatisfaction with Spurs management (via Pocono Record):“My loyalty is with the people who are going to be loyal to me. I just think they’re in a situation where they have to look at themselves in the mirror and say, ‘What in the world were we thinking?’ Because I did nothing negative to them. I don’t buy into the 'Aw, it’s a business, people lie to you.’ You don’t have to lie to me; tell me the truth and move on.”On Spurs coach Gregg Popovich saying that he reneged on a deal:
“They just lied. Your word is your word, but I didn’t give it to anybody. But like I told him, 'We are Christians. We have to forgive each other.’ He has to deal with his mistakes. This is a business. You can’t take it personally.”
Steve Kerr on the trade (via Arizona Daily Star):
“I’m not thrilled with it, because I was just a throw-in. It’s tough at this stage of my career. I’ve got three kids, two of them are in school, and now I have to pack up and go. But it’s part of the job. You just have to live with it.”How he felt that he initially didn’t react well to the trade (via Blazers.com):
“I probably shouldn’t have reacted the way I did. I was a little upset at the trade, mainly because my family was settled in San Antonio. It’s just hard with kids in school to have to pack up and go.”
Good value deal tbh. Really great actually
And then the Spurs got Herpes. Not just the Herpy Herp, but HITA! How's that for instant karma, huh?
This bodes well for our chances of signing Lebron and CP3 when they are so old no one else will want to sign them.
I ain't frowning, big dog.
You had me until Derek Anderson . . .
All this loyalty talk just triggered my memories and I remembered all that he talked back then, and how he later came out with his "Loyalty" brand of clothing with that word glued on to everything.![]()
Probably can't even GIS that hot garbage anymore...
The Spurs just re-upped a player whom they were actively trying to trade 4 months ago — without a single, meaningful game being played in that intervening 4 month timeframe. They re-upped a player who admitted to not having played as hard as he could. Someone who admitted to being disgruntled/questioning his fit within the team. All of this because of what? He had some wine with Pop?
I didn’t know so many people in San Antonio drank bleach on a regular basis ...
So in two years this is the starting lineup.
Gasol 39 years old
Aldridge 35 years old
Kawhi 28 years old
Danny Green 33 years old
Parker 38 years old.

Gasol and Parker won't be starting - definitely coming off the bench at that point. Mills as a starter does scare the crap out of me though.
Likely will be Murray and an unknown fourth guy by then.
