Kawhi wants to play with LeBron either in SA or LA- Cris Carter

[Hoops Czar]

Don't be absurd, Kawhi doesn't know what he wants, only what grampa tells him he wants.

[TheGreatYacht]

If Lebron comes it'll be because of Kawhi. Not Pop

[Quiet Strength]

My sources tell me Kawhi is leaving the nba to star in the new Rush Hour remake with Mengke Bateer

[DPG21920]

Pop is the goat

Look at the stark contrast in both Carter & especailly Jax in talking about Pop and the Spurs and Kawhi. If they are connected (as people said before) then this has to go a LONG way to putting people at ease.

You know what I believe started it? When Pop made that joke about Coach Brown keeping Jax from beating him up and then said just kidding, love you Jax.

I honestly think that softened Jax up made him think about things and maybe even did some calling/research about the situation.

Even if it’s Kawhi’s camp doing damage control, then the way Pop and Co have handled this worked. All you can do is maximize perception and either way they did that.

They'd have about $12 million in capspace if they renounce Parker, Green opts out, and Gay keeps his option. Or $21 million in capspace if they renounce Parker and both Gay and Green opt out (this is all assuming Manu retires). So they'd have to find a taker to salary dump Gasol onto to get James. I forgot about Green being able to opt out so they wouldn't need to dump both Gasol and Fifty.

green's value has been in free fall imo... starting to worry he's gonna opt in

lebron has never hidden his adoration of Pop + he appreciates pop's political rants

[coachmac87]

And just like that, everyone's suddenly believing Cris Carter and supporting Kawhi again. Kawhi's uncle is a genius, tbh.

I mean you can’t have it both ways right?

[Hoops Czar]

The media is putting Spurstalk through the spin cycle and posters are eating up every word of it.

[coachmac87]

I personally think it’s more likely in LA...

[Clipper Nation]

Pop is the goat

Poop just got outsmarted by Kawhi's group, imho. Now, when Kawhi gets traded for pennies on the dollar, PATFO will get all the criticism for "costing the Spurs a Kawhi/LeBron duo." Either that, or Kawhi gets the supermax after all because of the hope that LeBron will join the Spurs too.

[boutons_deux]

What, the Cavs are going to take the contracts of Mills and Gasol so the Spurs can open up a max slot for LeBron?

our $100M trade package that can't make plays, can't score, can't defend

[coachmac87]

But seriously can’t discredit what Windhorst said....

[E20]

ing bull . If lebron comes to SA because of Kawhi I'll spend all my life savings on bigballerbrand merch and let Lavar and all his sons t-bag me

No. Pop’s handling of the situation either A) Forced Kawhi’s group to do a 180 fall back in line and start really doing damage control to protect Kawhi’s value so SA didn’t have to or B) We are getting more of the truth about where things are from people

Either way, that is a win for SA. If it’s about Kawhi and SA being on the same page; great. SA and Kawhi have a good chance of staying together. If it’s just a 180 damage control because Kawhi was getting bashed; great. SA now has control of the narrative and it helps restore as much vaule as possible.

[FvckMavs]

But what about the Kawhi super max?

The supermax starts 2019.

[RD2191]

Bull. Kawhi ain't that type of dude to be teaming up with superstars. I'm not buying any of this .

[MoSpur02]

We all know the respect LeBron has for Pop. I think this off-season LeBron will opt out and will strongly consider playing for Pop because he knows Pop can lead him to more championships.

[TheGreatYacht]

[sananspursfan21]

Let me make sure I understand this correctly: the former NFL wide receiver said that?

[coachmac87]

This attention Great Yacht needs to stop quoting himself...

Get a life got

Man... I can Guarantee you that SPURS would eat PG contract in a heart beat, if it meant LBJ & Kiwi played for the SPURS next season.. The Holt family would make so much money & get so much attention is not even fathomable, really when you think of it.

LMA
Kiwi
LBJ..
Top contender for sure.

Not going to Lie though, the thought of this does get my boat a float-in.. If you catch my drift.

[HarlemHeat37]

I feel bad for posters here, tbh..first they thought Lebron was coming, then they believed Durant was coming, then it was Chris Paul, now it's LeBron again..none of them have even actually considered the Spurs in the past..Jesus..

Other than Aldridge, their biggest off-season moves the past 20 years have been re-signing Mills and Gasol

This is a pretty big stretch. Carter has already admitted that he knows Kawhi's group, so that's obviously where this is coming from. This story is all about fixing Kawhi's reputation, not his trade value. Look at how the media and casual fans finally turned on him this weekend. And now look at how quickly Spurfan got back on Kawhi's side at the mere mention of LeBron. The Spurs just got outsmarted here. Kawhi wins either way now.

I don't believe in this rumor but I do find it funny that if it's true the Spurs end up with Lebron right as his prime is ending. It seems like the normal trajectory which is the Spurs always end up with guys who are past their primes.
