Kawhi Extension

[Down Under]

Almost a week since the last leak came out & 5 days until he's eligible to sign the supermax. What will he do?

[alpha_HaZE]

I don't believe the supermax has been offered to him. I am not sure the Spurs will offer it to him either. On July 16t I mean, I think it will take longer than that for the Spurs to even consider offerring the supermax.

[alpha_HaZE]

To me with guys like Jimmy Butler and Clay Thompson available next summer, I wouldn't mind trading him for multiple draft picks and young talent.

But, if I am the Spurs why would I want to take any salary back? Gasol will be off the books next year and if Kawhi opts out, then we have tons of space to sign another max player, that might even be cheaper than Kawhi and wants to play for us.

I can see a reason of keeping, as a one-year rental if you wish, unless someone makes a really good offer like Fultz+Saric or BI+Kuzma, + multiple picks, that's another story and I hope it happens, but otherwise this could drag into next season. A package like that will not arrive unless other teams see Kawhi being Kawhi again. Right now they don't even have his medical records.

I wonder if the Kawhi group contacts the Spurs and bring the supermax up after months of failed gambits

[Spurs 4 The Win]

I would laugh my ing ass off if he signs a supermax. I doubt we would even offer BUT...

What if Buford wants to hang on to him and has been turning down trade offers left and right so that he could make Kawhi say no to the SuperMax money first before we trade him. Extremely unlikely, but food for thought.

To first make the offer and then use the eventual refusla makes sense.
Shows to all nba teams that Spurs are confident his problems are solved or anywhere not going to limit his potential.
Imho the best option is offer something over the max he could sign with another team but a lot less than the full supermax.
190 millions for five years with no player options ond no no trade clause but fully guaranteed-
That shows the world that:
1) they are offering him money that nobody else can give him;
2) they are triyng to have full committment from him;
3) the condition is to give no power to his group for five years.

If he refuses, becomes clear:

1) they know he's o.k. with his health and he can play;
2) his value is still high, to super max level;
3) not him (except for his weakened will) but his group is the problem.

Hmmmm......hmmmm

I don't think KL will ever again be a 70+ game/year player.

His leg degeneration is chronic, and there will be streaks of games where the inflammation pain will beyond icing and require sitting out, rest, rehab.

any team that expects otherwise better have a good injury insurance policy on him.

[JPB]

Not like there was a 500+ page thread on top of ST about that.

[clambake]

how do you people still want this guy?

you people are in texas. drag him outback and shoot him.

[YGWHI]

They won't.

If Chris Carter is right Pop already told Kawhi the Spurs are gonna trade him "Pop gave him every indication that he was going to trade him & he was going to try to make Kawhi happy"

I guess Kawhi would have been happier with the supermax but it seems like that deal was never an option for the Spurs.

Do Japanese girls actually squeal and cry during sex as much as they do in the pornos?

I highly doubt it, hahahahahaha

Some actually do, believe me.

[tbdog]

He has until 24th of October to sign the Super Max

[Stabula]

I'm not sure if I'd find it hot or if it would just be ridiculous and annoying. Your take?

I think inevitably he will be offered the supermax. He will need to show he’s healthy and committed. If we see him being traded one can assume the Spurs have made a different decision and Kawhi’s team might have cost him greatly by soiling his relationship with the Spurs, who helped him develop into a FMVP.

[DMC]

Too big of a flight risk to offer the supermax. You offer that to a player who is committed to winning for your team, not who has already stated they want to leave and where they want to go, after sitting out the previous season. I don't give a if it's Michael Jordan.

Andre Iguodala is a FMVP. Let's not pretend Kawhi carried the Spurs.
