When did Cris Carter say this? Recently or awhile back?
So that’s Kawhi’s camp’s next move? Try to make Pop the nice guy to see if that helps their cause, but also set Pop up as the meanie if a deal doesn’t get done. “He told us he would try to do right by us and now he’s going back on his word”.
Im at least glad Carter mentioned that Pop was very honest with Kawhi that he will try to accommodate him but it can’t be at the expense of SA. So if Kawhi is not going to put pressure on LA to make a compe ive offer then it’s on LA for not stepping up knowing they would trade him there for something solid.
Also, Carter doing the the leaks of “you can’t guarantee Kawhi will even show up to PHI if they trade for him” to damage their value.
He said it this morning on First Things First. He announced it in the form of breaking news and made it sound as if Pop was going to do everything that he could to make Kawhi happy - including trading him to the Lakers if that's what Kawhi really wants (but the Spurs had to get a good offer).
I think I heard him say that at week ago too.
But who knows? The saga of As the Muted One Turns has become a show of incompetent representation and leaks from the very beginning of this thing. Even all the way back before last summer, going back years if you believe Wright's reports on the mismanagement from uncle.
Playing GM in a bigger market like Philly, where players really want to play? Why not? No more juggling D-Leaguers, bottom-of-the-bucket talents to fit cap space? And Pops will be gone soon anyways. I wouldn’t be surprised
Man, that RC stuff to PHI is interesting. I truly wonder that with all that has gone on, TP gone, Manu likely gone best case after one more season, no Tim, no Kawhi and Pop leaving soon?
I could see RC leaving. Could you imagine that Tim leaving would cause literally this big of a ripple effect? Maybe that is how RC/Pop do right by SA on the way out. As part of a trade with PHI they get RC and that is what entices them to add a Fultz and all the picks for Kawhi.
If they whiff on Kawhi they have an elite GM to handle things moving forward with tons of cap space and two young stars. Pop coaches one year and leaves, RC is gone, but at least they set SA up with some young talent and lots of picks for the rebuild they won’t be around to see through?
this saga has reached the point of recycled speculation where if you really read what is now being said, there really is nothing new as of late to have come out.
Yep. And I just looked it up and he did say something similar back after the Laker trade was requested.
Who knows? Pop may have told him thought, in fact I bet he did. But, I also think that it's just Pop being Pop because he loves his guys. He's not going to trade him for table scraps, though.
Nor should he, just to assuage the Kawhior.
You all smoking some ty stuff if you think RC is going to Philly. Lol
I highly doubt RC is going anywhere.
Just f'n do it and be done with all this bull . Anything short of a no-trade clause, I'm fine with now.
This morning on show with nick wright, first things first
I just watched the clip of First Things First. Cris Carter is definitely in on this whole thing. I seriously hope he's making this up. I would not send him to where he wants to go unless the Spurs get Ingram, Hart, Kuzma, picks, and take back Gasol or Mills
If Kawhi ends up playing where he wants to play next summer (Lakers/Clippers/Sixers/Where ever) - his management team has done its job.
With respect to the money: 5 years/$222 million vs 4 years/$147 million is a $75 million gap on paper, but if Kawhi is back to being Kawhi, he doesn't sign a 4 year deal next summer, he signs a 1+1 or 2+1, opts out at 29 or 30, and on his 2nd deal he makes up most of the difference with the bigger cap.
I believe the difference between accepting 5/$222M from the Spurs and signing a 2 year max elsewhere & then reupping for 3 more is about $8 million.
Moreover, Dave Chappelle told people it was easy for him to walk away from a $50 million dollar contract with Comedy Central because he was still making millions of dollars and his lifestyle wasn't going to change. Worst case, if Kawhi signs for the straight 4/147 instead of 5/222 - will he notice the difference in his lifestyle? No, especially if he can still add a 5th year later for 40 million.
As for the state taxes - the only people who'll notice it are the accountants, and the tax hit is not as big as you think. Players pay taxes IN THE STATE WHERE THE GAME IS PLAYED, so he'll get 20+ games tax free. Plus, sales taxes, property taxes, luxury taxes and the like are MUCH higher in Texas & Florida than in California, so the effective difference is even smaller. That's why Shaq bolted from Orlando to the Lakers - the Magic owner tried to hit him with the "our offer is better even though it's lower because you won't pay state taxes" line, but Shaq's accountant showed him the fallacy & Shaq took the Lakers' money instead.
this can be interpreted in so many ways.
rc going to philly would make leonard not stay in philly
Don't talk about my gal like that, will you.No, but I would lick her fawtbox if I could.
Sell high on Drunkford before the mainstream media finds out what a fraudster that guy is.
Those Fatty Shills and Fat Gasol deals make sense now. over the team for a handful of years after you're gone so you seem valuable and not a product of Tim Duncan
I could be off a bit but I really get the feeling that Cris Carter doesn’t understand the difference between NFL/NBA.
He keeps mentioning “holding out” or not showing up.. that’s just not how it works in the NBA. I feel like he’s thinking from an NFL perspective..
He may be connected with’s Kawhi camp but he just seems way off on his reasoning or explanation.
I also don’t understand that he’s been “holding” the dialogue between Pop/Kawhi meeting...that just shows there’s a narrative or agenda at play and it wouldn’t “fit” if he talked about it once he heard.
Seriously the media..always trying to ruin the world lol
