GM Bron strikes again.
I'm hoping the Spurs don't cave in. If they don't watch the media and the Lakers implode like a bunch of es who have just been rejected.lol at the entire NBA.
"spurs losing leverage"
"spurs just need to bite the bullet"
"just trade him to LA and get it over with"
"risk losing him for nothing"
spurs just laughing at everyone saying it
GM Bron strikes again.
They gambled with PG13 and lost. But let's not act like the Lakers + LeBron are going to lose out on a lot of free agency battles. Even if somehow Kawhi doesn't end up there, they should have no issues luring premium talent next summer
Zhaire just signed. Need to wait 30 days to trade him.
Well Kawhi, see you at training camp and don't forget, the picture with the Coyote is mandatory.
1) I don’t understand how people keep equating Kawhi to “other free agents”. Kawhi, besides Anthony Davis or Harden/KD/Curry is THE BEST PLAYER in the NBA next to Lebron. Sure, they may end up with Jimmy Butler or someone else, but that would be a massive downgrade and a huge black eye to have two-prime time players (PG/Kawhi) turn you down after openly saying they want to go there.
LA may be willing to lose Randle/DeAngelo Russell for nothing, and lose PG/Kawhi so they can sign Butler, but they would be MUCH worse for it.
Also forgetting that Lebron is really on a 3 year deal, that means they are punting a third of Bron to take that risk
I don’t think he would be included since his salary is small anyways. It would be the Fultz + Saric + Covington or Chandler and a pick type deal.
Can't wait until the next complaint is mean things being posted about Kawhi on SpursTalk.
Yeah I just thought he's someone they might be interested in, although they've got enough 6'5" guys already. I'm not huge on Dario in terms of what a Forward is going to look like in the future. He struggles with switching onto smaller guys & can't protect the rim so he can't move to Centre.
Lebron may be one of the greatest players ever but he in sux as a gm.
I think I know where Kawhi is spending the summer:
Excellent point... as much as kawhi apologists have spun against spurs, I would like to see them spin this. You could argue that the lakers are insulting kawhi more than the spurs “supposedly “ are
Dam good points. On a side note, do you think the Spurs are gonna attempt a Supermax offer after training camp to see how healthy he is,.. if he does play, at an attempt to wrap him up for longer? Idk a few months is a long time to work things out. If Kawhi is healthy and wants to make up... all sins forgiven for me. I'm tired of the drama at this point. And we are not getting any player like him in return. Rather just have him.
Bazemore making $19 million next year
I don’t think they offer the SuperMax but I think they say, look, the Lakers don’t seem to really want you and we will offer you the same max (185M) that they would have been able to give you had they cared enough to make a good deal. I would be fine with them offering the SuperMax but I would be shocked if they did.
Atlanta?
You lost me with PG as a prime time player.1) I don’t understand how people keep equating Kawhi to “other free agents”. Kawhi, besides Anthony Davis or Harden/KD/Curry is THE BEST PLAYER in the NBA next to Lebron. Sure, they may end up with Jimmy Butler or someone else, but that would be a massive downgrade and a huge black eye to have two-prime time players (PG/Kawhi) turn you down after openly saying they want to go there.

KAWHI? Healthy? Sure. PG is an all-star. Not a superstar, franchise player or primetime player.
Same with the offer especially if he's healthy... But from everything we've seen thus far I think it's safe to assume that Kawhi or Kawhi's group or both are tad bit sensitive. I wonder how they are taking these offers... Might come off like he's not that important or worth that much. Kind of taking him for granted in a sense. For example if LeBron came on the market this wouldn't be happening. If his group or he himself have been stroking the ego, this may come as a bit of a smack in the face. Especially in the sense if he's truly being a and saying rescue me and they just letting him face the music by him reaching training camp. Ahhh how the plot thickens. Now I really want this to linger. It may just come full circle and he realized he's wanted here.
He certainly was the franchise player in Indiana, and had the Luckers traded for him past year, been theirs as well.
Stop backtracking.
Heh. Has the press conference for LeBron's signing happened yet? I thought that was supposed to be this morning.
Great, another 6'4" prospect. Not what we need.
ing gross
Spurs already have trouble playing their own 6'4" prospects if we are honest and just signed Marco to a deal for good measure.
Mmmmm, you think they would only offer that? I think that might be throwing gas on a fire. I could see 200m, but if they offer 180? Don’t you think that’s risky? I mean, it doesn’t bother me, but if they really want to keep kawhi, I don’t think that’s the likely way
Sure, but LA is right now risking losing Kawhi who is a star and they know will re-sign with them because they think they can get PG level players (Butler, Klay, whomever). It’s really dumb no matter how you slice it.
Kawhi is healthy. There is no concern there. Even if there was risk, he’s still better than Ingram/Kuz/Hart
