low iq obsessing over some dudes overpriced shoes
Yeah that’s true but his mechanics were never good and they hit rock bottom after injury..,but confidence is the ultimate key of being a “good shooter”.
If Kawhi were here and engaged, I agree we would rank as team that could possibly challenge the Dubs - right along with Boston and possibly Philly. Milwaukee is a dark horse.
Unless there is an incredibly remarkable progression of Murray, White and Walker thecSpurs don’t have the guard play to be le contenders. Parker and Mills don’t cut it. Not enough offense. Maybe in two three years with seasoning of the youngsters and a good big.
If the Spurs do move him, I see two options;
1. Kawhi and Gasol for Hayward and Brown or the 2019 Kings pick
2. Kawhi for Fultz, Bayless, Pasecniks, Miami 2021 1st, Philly's 2019 pick and Kings 2019 second round pick,
With Kawhi intentionally trying to tank his value, I don't see better offers coming down tbh
That Hayward contract is huge.
Just keeping him and Lebron from making a super team with the Flakers makes the Spurs champions next year in my eyes.
I would rather have that deal. Those draft picks plus our own would give us a good start to this rebuild.
Where Paul George and Lebron end up could play a big factor in Kawhi's value to other teams. So it might be best to wait until those guys sign, unless there's a good enough offer (like Philly wanting to get Kawhi as part of pitch to sign Lebron).
Not just the tension, it'd be a media circus all season. I'm not sure that's something Pop wants to deal with.
Kind of... you can also just send a message. Hold him until the trade deadline next year and send him to Detroit or Milwaukee or Minnesota or Denver for whatever scrub or pick they're willing to give you in return for a two month rental and playoff push.
You aren't winning anyway without him. He and his camp have already sent their message and been disruptive and dismissive. Return the ing favor. Let him know we are willing to take one on the chin to send him and his camp a lesson that costs them millions.
All that will mean is a return to the lottery sooner. that fool.
Sit his ass. Just like the Lakers did with Deng--basically exiled that guy. It's well within their rights.
If it's good enough for the Lakers, well, by god, it damn well ought to be good enough for the Spurs.
It wont be a circus long, theyll either be an extension a month or two into the season or he’ll refuse so they trade him. I can’t imagine this lasting into December
I think they'll play him and if he doesn't show up you suspend him. He has to play at an All NBA level next season or he'll be hurting himself more than the $80 million hit his "team" is going to cost him losing the super-max. It doesn't make sense benching him because you lose $19 million. He needs to play and play like nothing ever happened.....wherever he plays!
Ah, the thread that doesn’t sleep...
Can't be a supermax extension after mid-October unless he re-qualifies next year.
Apparently, he doesn't care about the super max.
They could play this out until mid October, the DPE deadline, which is after training camp and the pre-season. If he looks good then they can offer it to him, if he declines then they ship him out to Boston or Philly-assuming they have proposals on the table.
It's a max but he's only just turned 28 so it's not like it will necessarily be a bad one going forward. Swapping Kawhi for Hayward is a clear downgrade but so is losing Kawhi for nothing.
It would allow the Spurs to stay compe ive for the next two seasons before having to make decisions such as; whether to re-sign Aldridge, and for how much and how long, it would also coincide with Brown's and Murray's RFA. If both or either turn into stars then that could be a expensive team but a potentially good one.
I could see the Cavs making a last ditch attempt to keep Lebron by making a deal with the Hornets;
Cavs Gets-
Kemba Walker
Nickolas Batum
Charlotte Gets
Ante Zizic
Cedi Osman
George Hill
Collin Sexton
Don't know if that's enough to get him to stay but Lebron, Kemba and Love is a pretty good big 3 with Batum being a versatile offensive player who can defend on the perimeter.
Yea because Pop and the team want to be constantly asked why Kawhi is sitting. The Spurs try to avoid media attention, not invite it.
That would be a good move if they can keep Lebron. I wonder if that would be enough to make Philly or Boston want to pony up for Kawhi though.
Dont see that happening unless he signs an extension. Theres no way spurs want the same headaches of last season. If theres uncertainty rhe media will be relentless on the Spurs . This team doesnt want to go through that BS again. My guess, they will most likely have traded him before the season starts .
My thoughts exactly. Rodman & more recently Kawhi is enough.
