Spurs 2019 offseason thread

[Dex]

He formed the Heatles.

That too.

The Warriors only became a "superteam" once Durant ed out of OKC and went there. Other than that, they did things the right way...through the draft, player development, and smart signings.

Lebron literally buddied up with the other two top free agents on the market that offseason to form his own superteam, then got anyone else who was willing to chase a ring to hop on board. And he still needed a bailout three from Ray Allen to get 2 out of 4 rings there.

[Murray2k]

Shaping up to be an interesting offseason.. I'm optimistic.

[timtonymanu]

LeBron is an all time great but he’s definitely a soft got at times. The only thing I don’t like about him is that he started this superteam trend and bailing out during any adversity.

DeRozan, Beli, Bertans (sign n trade), Poetl for Harden/Capela, salaries match damn near perfect on trade machine

They're going to have to make it work. No one is taking on that contract of Paul's. He got his money, and now he's stuck.

[Dex]

And people here act like the Spurs are a dumpster fire:

Paul went to Rockets management and demanded a trade, and Harden issued a “him or me” edict following the Rockets’ second-round loss to the Golden State Warriors, sources said.

The backcourt mates went nearly two months without speaking to each other during the season, sources said, creating a tenuous environment for teammates and everyone involved with the franchise.

Harden hasn’t returned Paul’s repeated attempts at communicating this offseason, sources said, after a year in which the pair repeatedly got under each other’s skin with petty acts in practices and games.

Rockets now forced to either move their franchise player or an aging point guard who is a known locker-room cancer and owed $114M.

They're not trading Harden. He's actually healthy as a horse, not an old horse headed for the glue factory like CP3.

Done

I think one of the most interesting things this offseason is seeing what Morey comes up with to rectify this situation.

They aren't trading Paul either unless they give away the farm to do so.

The Rockets bet big and lost. You hate to see it, tbh.

[KDKSpurs24]

Welp if Paul has to be traded then the Suns can get their point guard bout the only team that can make this work. Otherwise no one is taking that contract

[mo7888]

If I'm Washington, I'm on the phone offering John Wall for cp3. A desperate rockets team might be the only chance they have to move Wall.

[Emperor]

Actually it would sorta make sense for both teams. Not a big move location wise for all players since SA and Houston are just a few hours away driving distance. Rockets get a cheaper contract at the center position plus acouple shooters. And yes, we get Harden who can play both pg and sg positions which will make Patty Mills much more expendable

[gambit1990]

Damn, that sucks nbastreams being banned. That’s how I watched games without real cable.

i didn’t know it got banned. that sucks. it was how i watched games too. legit, high quality streams. RIP.

i was surprised it survived as long as it did tbh.

[timtonymanu]

Mopey Chris Paul.

This POS is already getting paid way more than he deserves and still has the audacity to his way off the Rockets. He will never be satisfied and teams won’t be either cause of his contract. He’s stuck there.

[Dverde]

They could use another Wall in south Texas.

this makes me happy.

james harden tbh. dude didn't heed cp3's correct advice.

[MoSpur02]

CP3 only wants out because of LeBron and Davis. He wants to join his banana boat friend and throw lobs to Anthony Davis.

[gambit1990]

said it before, wouldn't be surprised if cp3 agreed to a buyout... dude could make a decent chunk of change from it and go ring with lebron...

The only way to make that work is to salary dump LeBron.

Yeah, Dex pointed it out. It’s unfortunate, I mean sure Hulu is nice when games are televised but nbastreams is legit when they’re not.

Same. I live in Austin, so even if I wanted to pay for League Pass, most games would be blacked out for me.

Pretty much forced to pay for cable or find other solutions.

No owner would agree to a buyout after one year of a 4/$160M contract. Tilman Fer ta is not paying him $60M to go away.

[Larry O]

Lol, I don't even think that Lebron & the Fakers would even take Poopy Paul & his crazy contract right now, & they are buddies... SMH...

[MoSpur02]

Paul would have to agree to a buyout and then he'd join LeBron and Davis. Houston would rather trade him to receive someone in return, but I seriously doubt there's a team stupid enough to touch that contract.
