I think in retrospect that Leonard came into s om a year earlier than expected and parker lost some effectiveness that the front office thought would still be there. There is no doubt that kahwi is a max player but there was still some when he was resigned, if he has been 1.5ppg and not finals MVP he would be making 5 to 7mill less a season right now and that money difference is quite a bit when you are looking to fill a roster. West ring chasing helped but he wasn't a position of need. LMA can play center but is more effective and happiest as a pf. For the first half the season the spurs were rough integrating LMA but parker played distribution and that was good. Afterwards I am not sure why but he became more looking to drive again.
