Gotta give it to Butler, he's still getting paid big bucks to not do a damn thing in the NBA. The Kobe of bench-warmers, tbh.

Closing in on Kawhi. While the Spurs await official word that Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili are coming back, their first order of business will be swift and simple: Re-signing defensive player of the year Kawhi Leonard to a five-year max deal, league sources told CBSSports.com.

Don't expect any big recruitment meetings, songs or dances when the negotiating floodgates open just after midnight ET Wednesday -- just a simple, quietly executed agreement that will keep Leonard in San Antonio well into his prime. The max deal is likely to have an early-termination option after the fourth season, sources said.

Leonard, who turns 24 on Monday, waited a year to get his commitment from the Spurs so the team would have payroll flexibility. He isn't inclined to do a shorter deal and take advantage of the rising cap next summer; there's injury risk involved, and Leonard will still be young enough to reap the benefits of the higher cap when he hits the market again in 2019.

With Leonard in the fold, the Spurs will immediately focus their attention on unrestricted free agent LaMarcus Aldridge, and there's a legitimate chance he ends up joining the five-time champions, said a person familiar with the situation. The expectation is that Duncan will be back for his 19th season, and that Ginobili will return at a deeply discounted rate, sources said. Ginobili will announce his intentions in a column he will write for an Argentine newspaper.

If there's a fear among Spurs executives, it's that they won't have enough room left to retain Danny Green, who has attracted interest from the Mavs, Blazers and Pistons, sources said.

Early Termination Option: Similar to a player option, but if the player does nothing they stay with their team. If they exercise it, they become an unrestricted free agent.

I know jack about the Mavs' cap situation but if they sign Jordan, does this take them out of the Danny Green running?

If Danny's price doesn't go too high, they might sign him as well. But I don't think they will look into that option that much if they sign Jordan. If they sign Jordan then sign Green, all their flexibility is lost and their backcourt will be Green, Harris and garbage.

Thanks man

So ultimately, it benefits the Spurs if the Mavs actually sign Jordan. Takes them out of the Green running (you would think), weakens the Clippers and while the Mavs get a younger version of Tyson Chandler basically. Meh, not impressed.

Supposedly there was a meeting or hangout between Chandler Parsons, DeAndre Jordan and Wesley Matthews recently. Matthews would actually be a decent option for them since they can lowball him cause of his Achilles injury and then get another cheap guard.

[Uriel]

Here's hoping the Mavs sign Jordan. If that happens:
- Clippers get significantly weaker
- Aldridge gets one fewer suitor
- Green gets one fewer suitor

It's a win-win-win.

[mystargtr34]

GTFO they gave Brandon Knight $70M/5 yrs

[mystargtr34]

Yep that would be perfect if the Mavs got DeAndre.. They still wouldn't be a serious contender while the Clippers are also weaker.
