Basically at peace with the Mills and Belinelli contracts at this point. Just please flip Forbes and look for long-term solutions at SF beyond Cunningham/Pondexter.
Just looked up Hunter. 7'2" wingspan looks good and I like his shooting.
This is probably true. It's clear LeBron doesn't really like Kawhi and Kawhi doesn't really like LeBron. LeBron likes winners, not crybaby pussies who trash legends like his friend Coach Pop.
If anything, Kawhi will end up in Clippers land and be the laughing stock of the league, while his stupid uncle and sister try to break into show business down there.

Deandre Hunter?
If Lebron hates Kawhi then why is he willing to work out with him? Lebron is also a crybaby and whiner. Don't get it twisted that if Lebron feels Kawhi can help him win then he will go after him.
I am fine with Mills deal, especially considering that in year 3 and year 4 the cap es by at least $8 million his annual raise's are only around $800,000 meaning that the cap significantly outpaces the growth of his deal, making his contract look much better, and also more tradable if they were to go that route.
I don't love Belinelli's deal but it is only for 2 years, Spurs aren't going to have cap space anyways, next season most likely.
-I keep hearing about people wanting PATFO to flip Forbes but he is an undersized 2 that really only has one NBA skill -3pt shooting. Those players aren't especially hard to find and plus the Spurs probably overpaid to bring him back, making a trade less likely.
I am worried about SF this season, though, Ariza and Carrol both may end up being available. The Spurs could be enticing considering that they would be able to come in and start on a playoff team.
I am definitely going to follow the potential 1st round wing prospects this the year-as you mentioned, there are quite a few, so odds are that PATFO can nab one that they like with 2 1st rounder's to work with.
Yeah, he was recommend by someone earlier in this thread (maybe you?).
We'll see what happens with Forbes. If he shoots like 42% while playing 10-14 minutes a game he would at least be a neutral asset.
A pick in the range of 12-18 should definitely be enough to get someone we can develop. This is a SF loaded draft. But I'm not planning to watch college ball just to look at SF prospects.
As for Blossomgame/Cunningham/Pondexter . . . let's only keep one of them. Blossomgame will either develop a 3 ball or he won't this upcoming season.
Looking ahead right now to see if we keep Bertans after 2 years or move onto someone else.
Basically, I consider Mills/Belinelli to be eventual old guys instead of TP9/Manu who we should keep around as 3rd stringers to mentor. I think Murray/White and DDR/LWIV is the best guard rotation we've had in years. Could easily be set for a decade.
Bull crap LeBron doesn't like Kawhi they were just working out. LeBron talks to Durant when most compe ive NBA players like in the 80's and 90's would just hang up the phone with a f**ky** see you on the court. If Kawhi signs with Clippers it's because of his ego not LeBron.
Would love to trade Gasol & whoever else necessary for Butler.
I think Cunningham and Pondexter are definitely one and done while I still have no idea what Blossomgame is.
He is only 6'7 with a 6'10 wingspan, pretty good athlete but looks more like a 4 than a stretch 4 or a 3 and didn't really even take 3s in the G League.
He might be able to defend an NBA level but how is he going to stay on the floor if he can't shoot as a SF and may be too small to be a full PF.
Butler would be perfect on the spurs. Hope the team is trying to find a way to land him
Not sure if we have any way to get him.
We're not getting Butler, or any other good FA for the next 5 years.
Yeah honestly I would just hope we draft well (2019 loaded with SF's), the young guys develop well including some of the fringe prospects (Blossomgame, Milutinov), none of Aldridge/DDR/Gay fall off a cliff, and then the Lakers poach Klay. Might happen.
Been spoiled for over 20 years. It's gonna be weird watching a team that can't compete for chip. I don't see any big name FA coming to SA. Pop finna leave and no one on this squad is bringing in any great players. Glory days are gone.
Relax, we’ll be fine.
We're not getting Butler in FA, but it has more to do with our top two players making $54 million and the Spurs having to a maneuvers like crazy with their other middling contracts to get far enough underneath the cap just to sign a player who will start off around $33 million.
Yeah I actually think if anything Butler is one of the few FAs who would sign here. Just not seeing how we would go about fleecing the Wolves in a trade.
Thread worthy?
Anyway... the timing is funny with Parker leaving.
... after reading comments from other places, I guess I wasn't the only one with who thought that.
after parker leaving? lmao
we're all thinking the same thing
I thought so
