What about the 2019 class? They can just sign 1 year contracts next off-season similar to the Red deal and try hard for 2019? I don't think Kawhi would like that, though.
Spurs tell LMA they will try to trade him atdeadline you perform raise your value

Austin has smarter, richer, and sadly slimmer fans. Plus the nightlife and women are great by Texas standards. Would be smart if attracting free agents matters to this team tbh..
So you're saying it's really not the Spurs' FO's fault? It's the lack of ho's and drugs and ? I guess it's really pretty amazing that the Spurs have gotten as many players as they have over the years. It's a wonder they can even fill a 15 man roster. Seems like even a min contract would be enough to buy a lot of ho's and drugs and .
Then again... a 45 minute commute to Austin, to enjoy all those things, is probably shorter than the daily commutes in LA. If they can drive an hour in LA, why can't they drive 45 minutes to Austin if they live here?
Yeah what's the point when no one is gonna want to sign here anyway.
Is Austin that much different/better than San Antonio? How far away is it?
Holt's bean counters are going to tally up the increase in value of the Spurs franchise in Austin compared to SA. Only a matter of when. Definitely by the time a new arena is needed.
That's what I'm saying. People in LA don't live next door to every ing bar. Especially not the wealthy ones. My wife grew up there, and when we go back we drive an hour or more to every damn thing we want to do. Maybe when the Spurs should put Austin on their recruiting tour, and the problem is solved?

Restricted free agent Joe Ingles is finalizing a deal to return to the Utah Jazz, Ingles tells ESPN. espn.com/espn/now?nowId…
Ingles is Hayward's best friend on the team, along with Georgie. His return to Utah confirmed.
A little under two hours away. Whiter, more expensive, more hipster, more liberal, younger, etc. University of Texas is there. It's a cool city but the Spurs have too much history in SA to make that move. Good luck getting hipsters/liberals to help fund a new arena too.
Would rather just turn it into an SA-Austin Metroplex like DFW. Would help in getting an NFL team and MLS.
I think George Hill and his agent may have overplayed their hands..They were dumb to refuse that Jazz extension. Now, Knicks are his last hope for a fat contract, but even Phil isn't there anymore..
Ingles is one of Gordon Hayward's closest friends on team, and shares Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports as an agent.

Ingles deal: 4 years, $52M, source says.
Spurs will end up signing him in a friendly deal and trot out 6 PG's next year to help Kawhi tbh.
Fake Woj account bruh![]()
Wut
edit: lol espm
LOL@me
I'm relieved.
For a 7 point/3 rebound player. If someone offers Simmons a poison pill deal, it's going to come out to just about that much isn't it?
So if the Spurs match a poison pill offer for Simmons that's more or less the same as Patty. And the Spurs would have around 25% of the cap tied up for the next four years, in Simmons and Mills? I don't understand how these new contracts are going to work under the salary cap.
They messed up last year, with that huge cap increase all at one time. Now the ripple effects are hitting, as better players realize that they should be worth MUCH more than these guys. (LeBron came out and said that Curry is under-paid with his new $201M contract.) I don't know if Patty/Simmons/Ingles are all worth $12M+ per season. But when you have $100M to work with, it's hard to fit many of those contracts in. And you sure as can't build a championship team out of guys that level.
Thank you. Of course it's Dabom with the heady agreement with yours truly. Aldridge and his being a . You want a contract? Play your ass off. And he will. You think he's the type of puss that will pop off at Pop during practice? Pop?
He knows GM's now think less of him disregarding the Spurs Way, rather than giving Him the benefit of the doubt. He better bust his butt and not be a distraction, but that's not a problem.
He's not that guy. He's passive-aggressive and his contract year is not the time to be passive. He took his chance and got rebuffed hard. His trade value right now should be hitting him hard.
He either gets it together and earns that next contract, or he completely implodes and it's all good. We'll be rid of him and he can rot.
