Jesus christ, I'm terrified of what Porky's deal is going to look like.....
Are we talking Pau or LMA? Both essentially signed two-year deals with $7ish Million guaranteed in a final year. But whereas Pau's deal simply doesn't make sense, LMA's does. There's a legit chance that Aldridge is still good enough to earn that last year. For Pau, it seems like ill-advised going-away money (like with McDyess).
Jesus christ, I'm terrified of what Porky's deal is going to look like.....
That "lack" of production means that the Spurs having success in the regular season had little to do with LMA being on the team since we can't even mention at least 20 great, dominant games from him in last regular season.
IDK...I guess the Spurs will regret this deal in two-three years...LMA's extension is setting a bad precedent for next years.Any improvement in comfort from LMA results in a big time boost as long as some of the younger guys produce.
Any decent Spurs' player like Murray -or a top pick if the Spurs can get one-, can think the team should give him an extension after a bad season if he has a whinny at ude about his stats and the market-Spurs' cap situation are forcing the team to give him a deal.
72/3 isn't horrible but I find it all a bad joke.

Kawhi wasn't consulted about Spurs' offseason moves so I doubt the team asked his opinion about this one.
Danny and DJ on the extension talk
Surely he would retire after next season?
He may well, but even if he does, he likely gets the money. My guess is the Spurs gave him that year to keep his salary down. They did that to McDyess in 2009 for similar, though not identical reasons.
That doesn't eat cap space after he retires does it? Seems like, as bad as the Gasol deal is, it will be fairly easy to dump his contract, given it is essentially expiring. Teams will be so desperate to clear space for the free agents, there would be plenty willing to take on his contract then buy him out. Seems like that would be the Spurs best chance of getting anyone, considering we have a very low chance of getting any decent free agents (even mid level).
It counts, just like it's still counting from Tim. But Gasol would have to be traded by February of 2019 for his contract to work. Partially guaranteed deals don't really work for trades under the new CBA
Man, this team has become so unlikeable in just a couple years since the 2014 championship
So you can't trade his contract before the guaranteed date?
Kawhi is a soldier. He trusts PATFO completely.
manu kept the choice to himself but surely Kawhi knew that Pop wanted his bar of soap back like all of us knew.
Great deal. 3 and $55 mil is a serious discount in this market. Now he'd better concentrate on his game and show what he's capable of.
Kawhi knowing that Pop wanna do something doesn't mean that Kawhi has been consulted about...
So, when can we extend Kawhi for the Super Max?
You heard it. While today's nba is napping, we have pounced. Heading down to vacuum the Riverboat.
Perfect way to cap off the worst Spurs offseason in recent memory. Surprised there was no Parker extension. Goodbye future.
That’s true.
He wouldn’t have opposed though even if they had.
that's a bit more coin than i would have liked, but it's still very good news.
