I don't know what the max is, but he should be making about $12 - $15 million per year.
I just hope the Spurs can keep Boris and Patty around next year. Spurs aren't repeating if Boris isn't on the team.
I think his ego has been inflated due to getting the Finals MVP. I wouldn't be surprised if he asks for a max contract. Does he deserve it?

good news is we have Kawhi under contract for another year or two before we have to decide that. i see him at the moment 8-12 million player. If we can sign him like we did Parker and Gino early in their careers id be happy
He's worth about 54M so I'd see them doing like they did Tiago and go 12M 1st year and slide up to 15 by the 4th year of his contract.
Nothing screams inflated ego about the way he reacted to getting the FMVP, nor his lifestyle before it. His agent is a different matter, but I doubt Kawhi demands the max or to be paid immediately. That said, the FO might decide to pay him before his rookie contract is up but if they give him the max its because they think he's worth it not because he demanded it. BTW he is now eligible for the Derrick Rose Rule.
not right now
Tiago's contract works the other way (descending).
Agreed. We could possibly get away without Patty with improvements from CoJo, but we need Boris another big just as good but Boris would be preferred due to versatility.
Yes, because no "max" players would EVER sign to the spurs as a FA unless they are on their last legs
Not yet. And knowing his at ude, I don't think he'll ask for max when his contract expires after next season.
nope.
Are you sure Finals MVP makes him eligible? I thought it was season MVP.
No he's like a $40M/4 year type of guy.
no.
The Spurs are likely to designate him for their 5 year extension and the first year salary will be all or most of the maximum allowed (25% of the salary cap).
He is not eligible for the Derrick Rose Rule (30% of the salary cap).
If he reaches restricted free agency in the summer of 2015, he will command far more than that. Nic Batum got 4/46.
Ya my bad, I thought the language designated it as just Most Valuable Player leaving it open for either, but it does specify NBA Most Valuable Player.
Quoted wrong post too
32 mil 4 years..
Yeah, I had to look it up.
he isn't a free agent until the end of next season... they can see if he can play at that level consistently, as needed
I hope he continues the culture of taking a little less so the team can continue to compete.
He can still get it by winning MVP next season, as unlikely as that seems now.
If Splitter got 12.5M this season... Kawhi is worth Kobe money tbh. 30M a season
Right, PATFO?
1. He didn't.
2. Splitter's salary is irrelevant to Kawhi's market value.
Agreed about the 5-year designation. This is precisely the type of situation it was meant for.
25% of the cap is hefty, though. That will likely be $16-17M by then. If the contract starts at $16.5M, that's $94.875M over 5 years with max raises.
Edit: even starting at $15M that's $86.25M total for 5 years
