Young: sources tell @ExpressNews that Kawhi Leonard wants to be traded from Spurs

[marinoman]

Yay, more guards

First off the guards we do have suck, 2 gino might be gone, 3. The league is playing 4 perimeter players and a big

[NASpurs]

Mills is gone I think

Yeah there seems to be a glut of guards but it also could mean that Forbes, Manu and Parker aren't coming back.

[dbestpro]

Bellinelli?! Are you ing kidding me?! Wow, way to ing ruin the night, RC.

I think it may signal that Manu has decided not to come back. It may also be the end of Forbes or Mills.

At least he can hit a 3.

These signings are quick for the Spurs. I don't remember the Spurs moving this fast

I do, 12:01 Patty

Trade Mills to Philly for Zhaire Smith

[pad300]

Bad news I think. Looks like he's still dead set on LA. I figure he'd ruminate longer if he wanted to return to Cleveland.

Nah, to involve the Cav's he's either going back, or he wants to pull something fancy by way of S&T. If he's just leaving, he just walks, and Rich Paul doesn't talk to the cavs at all.

[cd021]

Assuming he's willing to sign with Philly. No way they make that deal without Kawhi's consent.

Why not? Kawhi, Simmons and Embiid is a conference Finals team and probably a 60 game winner in the east. Getting Kawhi in the door and trying to sell him on staying as opposed never having him and never getting him. OKC would've never gotten PG-13 and probably wouldn't have had they never traded for him.

Looks like they already knew what to do with Kawhi.

Trade Mills to Philly for Zhaire Smith

Lol why would Philly do that..?

[TekXX]

Belinelli back to the Spurs? I'd rather tank than sign mediocre trash that ain't helping us win

[cd021]

I think it may signal that Manu has decided not to come back. It may also be the end of Forbes or Mills.

probably. Though I would've thought White would get a shot to fill that role

Murray, Parker, Beli, Walker, Green, White- that's a lot of guards, probably shows a commitment to adding more spacing and playing small, Beli, Walker, Green, & White can at least shoot.

[MoSpur02]

Lol why would Philly do that..?

They lost a shooter in Marco

[dbestpro]

I also think with the Spurs signing these vets that it moves Phil ahead of LA for a possible trade destination for Kawhi. 76ers deal combining players who play hard now with future picks makes a solid fit with what the Spurs are doing.

[MoSpur02]

Brett Brown is the acting GM in Philly. I think he will cave and give the Spurs a package the Spurs will really like for Mills and Kawhi if Kawhi doesn't re-sign with the Spurs.

If they can flip Fultz for Vucecic and move Vucecic into the package I think it gets done.

[QUOTE=FkLA;9449891]That's some cheap from the Holts though. Everyone is focusing on OKC when quoting my post, but it was more meant as criticism for the Holts than for Presti. Their stingy asses probably cost us a couple of ships smh.


I think their stinginess didn't cost the Spurs chips, they were extremely good at getting value on deals. Beli' took less money to come and ended up having a career year, Mills, Manu, Splitter and Diaw all significantly outplayed their deals during the 13-14 season.

They chose Ibaka over Harden, basically. Stupid now but not that unreasonable at the time, imo.

They didn't know that the cap was going to sky rocket, while the assumed that if they kept all 4 players, each of their salaries would jump about $1.5-$2 million a year (save for Ibaka, I think his deal was flat).

There was also the repeater tax and the NBA ing the Thunder by retroactively changing KD's 5 year, $85 million deal to a 5 year, $95 million dollar deal- despite it being signed before the Rose rookie max became a thing.

It going to go down as a huge blunder but there were some unknown-unknown's

[cd021]

was never a melo fan, he would have a better year than before if he stays with okc though.

but i wonder if only lebron can save his soul.

He was a show last year, so you can really only go up from there.

Uhhh what the ? I hope you mean anybody else besides NIkola Vucevic who is straight trash

[LongtimeSpursFan]

I think it may signal that Manu has decided not to come back. It may also be the end of Forbes or Mills.

thats the bigger picture

[spurraider21]

lebron and the spurs about play a long game of chicken tbh

if lebron goes to lakers first, the spurs lose leverage in the kawhi stuff. but if the spurs hold kawhi anyway, then lebron just wasted a season playing with scrubs while being buried in the west

[offset formation]

At least he can hit a 3.

Yep. Personnel moves reminiscent of beautiful game. Inside out and ball movement. Slashing guards.

Wondering if they plan to move LMA?

Cheaping out on Scola hurt them badly in the 2008 WCF.

Why Vuc? Spurs would already have Aldridge and Gasol-with Gasol possibly coming off the bench.

92 minutes in and probably a safe time to get to bed

But with my luck, stuff breaks at 93 minutes
