Also Timmy will be on Letterman and Parker on Kimmel IIRC tbh.
Heard it on ESPN 1250 earlier today and the guy gave KSAT12 credit. Wouldn't go into effect until the 2015-2016 season obviously. Also mentioned Kawhi will be on national TV (Strahan&Kelly Show) on Wednesday morning.

Parker was on kimmel last night.
Sounds about right for Kawhi IMO..
That is steeper than i expected. Is that the max? Someone here said if it wasn't gonna be a max deal, it would have to be 4 years or less.
I believe that's the max
My initial guess was 4 years/40 million, so 5 years/50 million would be fine. 5 years/80 million sounds like way too much. It'll probably be somewhere in between those two figures.
About expected and worth it. Get it done.
Because it's a five-year extension, it must be for the max with 7.5-percent increases. Simmons' estimate is possibly too low.
Real talk he deserves whatever Iguodala got during his prime. Iggy most recently signed a 4 year/48 million deal. That sounds exactly right for Kawhi.
Saves probably $5 million or so over the deal to get it done now as opposed to next summer.
The Hand
Spurs must see a lot of offensive potential to be throwing around that kind of money. I can't recall the last time a 22yr old got offered that much cash for his defense alone.
Of course I think Kawhi could be a 22-25ppg scorer at his prime, so I see no issue here.
Wait, I was under the impression that they can't negotiate anything this year...am I missing something?
Will wait for the Tree of Woj.
No way. Spurs doing an extension now is the most money they will spend. From a financial perspective there is no doubt they should wait until he is a RFA after next year.
That's pretty much the max under the 2013-2014 numbers. It would be quite a big more under the 2015-2016 numbers (the ones that will actually determine the value of the contract). I'm getting a $90M/5.
If I had to guess, Simmons is just throwing crap against the wall. No way the Spurs give Leonard the full max this early in the off-season.
He needs to learn how to dribble the ball before he can do that.
Yeah, this.
It costs them money. If another team offers Kawhi the max, it would be a $64M/4 deal. In contrast, Leonard will make $67 Million over the first four years of a max extension. (NOTE: I used $15 Million as the max for 2015-2016. The really max would be more than that, so the difference is even greater in real life.)
EDIT: The closest estimate I can come up with would be $70M/4 from another team and $74M over the first four years of a max extension.
That's what it's going to cost to retain Kawhi. Irving will get an even bigger extension this summer for doing jack in his career.
Isn't the extension based on this year's cap and not the cap when it kicks in?
He's a solid ball-handler, I have no idea what you're talking about. Look at his college dribbling if you want to see something to worry about.
I doubt it will be that much. Just wait. Getting into arguments over this is pointless right now.
5/65 seems about right to me but I trust the spurs judgement.
Do it... love the kid and he's put in the work.
