This surely couldn't have gone under the other Kawhi extension thread.
Get that money Leonard, taking a pay cut. A strong willed American black man isn't something the Spurs FO are used to dealing with

Nope, because this is a separate issue, not just a kawhi issue
Stephen Jackson says hi.
Blake's wife, on the other hand, is used to only dealing with strong black men.

Stupid thread anyway. Spurs know exactly what they're doing with Kawhi. He'll get his money, but it will be on their terms. Educate yourself.

There are two reasons. First, restricted free agency is a powerful tool for teams. If the Spurs extend a qualifying offer (they will), they get the ability to match any offer sheet Leonard signs. Additionally, San Antonio has Bird rights to Leonard, which means they can offer more money than any other team, including an extra year. An extension would have 7.5% annual increases in salaries as opposed to the 4.5% increases Leonard would get by signing with a different team.
That means that by simply letting Leonard become a restricted free agent and sign a max offer sheet with another franchise, the Spurs would be paying Leonard less than he would get through a max extension. Kawhi would still nominally be a max player, since he signed an offer sheet for the maximum individual salary someone was allowed to offer him in free agency. But the Spurs would be on the hook for approximately $3 million less over four years thanks to the smaller yearly increases.
The other reason has to do with team building instead of dollars. If Leonard is extended, next off-season the salary corresponding to the first year of his new contract would count against the cap. But if he is not extended, only the much smaller qualifying offer counts against the cap until he signs an offer sheet or re-signs. That would give the Spurs almost $8 million more to play with in free agency, which could come in handy if Duncan and Ginobili retire and the team needs to find replacements.
Smart response redneck, I'm sure Willis was a black players asking max level money and the Spurs were afraid he'd leaveOP never heard of Kevin Willis?
Implying Tim Duncan isnt a strong willed black man...
He's a white washed black man from the Virgin Islands, something the FO can controlImplying Tim Duncan isnt a strong willed black man...
This is why we can't have nice things, tbh
Now THIS is the kinda threads we need to start the season off right. WELCOME BACK FOLKS
Another race bait thread. Pass the ball to the autistic er, I want to see if he can do anything without the system. Or if he can grab any rebound without Splitter or Diaw.
So a black man who doesn't talk much is autistic?
you republican rednecks never cease to be pathetic
