Parker going to the meeting too? wow, that's gonna be a large contingent...
"We really want you here.... as long as you understand this is MY team"

My pitch if I'm SA:
o Come play along with a legend. One who is willing to sacrafice a ton of money because he thinks you are worth it.
o Not only that, Tim will talk about how David did this for him. How he convinced him the Spurs way was the best way and that he could not only win, but truly love what he does. Something special. This is Tim's moment to pass the torch to LMA and hopefully ride off into the sunset like David did: The ultimate teammate and a champion.
o This management and coach care about not only surrounding you with talent to compete, but prolonging your career. It will be demanding. Spurs will be good with or without you, but it's worth it to win and play for a franchise that truly is different.
o There's a great balance of future building blocks and ability to win now alongside Tim/TP/Pop
Then you can see the story 1 year from now - with Tim holding another finals trophy - announcing his retirement as a champion. One that was ready to go out on top, but making the sure the franchise was in as good of hands as possible before he left. The ultimate franchise player. Teammate. Winner.
Yeah, the news that he's still considering Portland means its a 50/50 shot or so he leaves. I used to work as a recruiter, and when the guy said he was considering staying where he's at, the chances of a deal plummeted. Spurs probably have a less than 25% chance to sign him now.
Take it easy on Parker guys!! The last pic I had seen, dude was lookin slim!
Worked well with Howard.
No one deserves a ring. I have always been a big Dice fan, but he came up short in Game 7 2005 when he could have had one with Detroit. I was just watching that game today and he was pretty invisible when on the floor in the fourth. Porter had his shot in 2001 and got destroyed by Fisher. Nobody would care if one of these guys got a Mitch Richmond 2002 ring, just like no one remembers Glenn Robinson's 2005 ring (even though Robinson actually played a pretty nice role in bringing the Spurs back from down 17-4 in the first quarter of Game 1 vs Detroit).
LaMarcus man, you gotta work on that rebound.
I don't see him staying after all this
Tim, don't forget to tell LMA that he will be starring in the famous HEB commercials.
Raps fans believing the hype
So I know this is probably a given but, starting role right?
Tbh I don't know why Toronto, Phoenix and New York are even trying. It's even a stretch for the Lakers.Raps fans believing the hype
R.C. making the trip as well. Just missing the Coyote and Spurs Jesus at this point.
What is the difference in after tax income between 4 years in Texas and 5 years in Oregon for LMA? How much is really losing signing with the Spurs?
Manu not flying in. Gotta say he looks done.
Speaking of mascots like the Coyote and Spurs Jesus, why isn't Bonner going?
Anyone know how many teams he can meet with in a day? I'm sure all teams flying in tomorrow.
Him choosing to release a statement on returning or not to his local paper is pretty damning evidence that he's calling it. Sucks cause I think with low managed minutes, he can still be a force as a facilitator.
basically prime bosh without the defense?Raps fans believing the hype
I just can't see Aldridge staying. Not when they dump Batum, not when it's looking like they'll lose Afflalo, not when Matthews' career as a high level role player is over. Why is Portland shedding a valuable SF for an unproven PF if they think they have any chance whatsoever to bring LMA back? Action speaks louder than words, and action says Aldridge is gone. If he comes, I really hope the Spurs can swing a sign and trade, dream scenario would be swinging some type of 3 way deal to land Aldridge for say Splitter and Joseph, Manu comes back in a reserve role, Green gets a 4 year $40 million deal, Leonard a five year max deal, Baynes and Bonner come back cheap, and the Spurs decide whether to bring Bellinelli back or pursue someone in that $4 million a year range to replace him. I can't imagine them using the MLE and bringing Belinelli back in this scenario with such a punitive luxury tax starting this season though.
Yeah, the statement was what made us all 90% sure. I guess we're looking for any good signs. And here's another one that's NOT good.
Saying stuff like this kind of implies that he sucks. You're basically saying that he's not much of a difference maker at all or can't carry a team. If that's what you guys think of him, why does anyone want the Spurs to get him?
The Lakers are a dumpster fire tbh
