he literally sold out his future for the le, which will let him keep his job for at least 10 years. It was a great gamble on his part
I mean they did just win the le...

Messiah Ujiri gave Lowry that extension for 2 reasons. 1) To diffuse the potential for bad vibes at a time when the organization's Q rating it at an all-time high (thanks, Spurs) by temporarily quelling a perpetual malcontent, who was going to hold out until extended and if not, was going to attempt to engineer a trade to a contender. 2) This probably increases his trade value and they didn't tie up their '21 cap space, so the overall number is irrelevant.
He has a (contrived) championship, a far better young player than any of the Spurs ones, arguably better young talent overall and they're currently clearly a more well regarded organization than this archaic outfit.
This isn't comparable at all, but I knew you and your fellow apologists would attempt to spin it . . .
Isn't a max extension quite a bit lower than a max contract though? Still, disgusting. DeRozan would have been so much more valuable in the 1990s when 18-foot shots were the norm and playoff chokers like Ewing and Malone were beloved.
I'm gonna stop giving a about the Spurs if they sign this ing POS got.. can't take any more bull
I'll take a championship and not having to give Derozan a max extension tbh......
Who's available? What options do Spurs have? DePression asks for max and what is our alternative? Let him walk and have no Allstar (fringe)? LMA is getting up there.
Idiots on ST have wanted to rebuild for years now. Never agreed with it, always thought it was stupid because I almost always felt like the Spurs were only a piece or two away from being back in contention.
But if the alternative is needlessly giving a career loser a max extension? Yeah, I'll take a ing rebuild. I trust PATFO to do more with a high draft pick than with this guy locked up long term on a max deal.
1 year extension dumbass
Toronto has nothing to show for that trade? LOL Popsuckers know no bounds
Alex, I’ll have “Multiple Top 10 draft picks for an over paid outdated established choking net neutral player” for $800 please
This.
DeRozan's Max with the Spurs as a FA would be a 180/5,right?
A max extension is a 120/4 if i'm not mistaken (8% raise between years)?
Anyone to verify those numbers?
Oh and btw,we knew this was a possibility and i still hate it.
i dont think letting derozan walk (or dumping him in a trade) is necessarily a "rebuild" move... the roster we have already has good young pieces that can work to occupy his role. rebuild usually implies blowing it all up, not slowly replacing one piece at a time.
i dont think the spurs have actively engaged in a rebuilding process since winning the 2014 chip, but patty is the only guy left from that team.
if true, the only silver lining to a max extension is that he'd have better trade value than an All-Star caliber player on a true max contract.
any chance DeRozan gets very depressed again...
Sadly I believe Demar is still a max player, I just don’t want my team with its young guards to give it to him. If he’s willing to give a discount, I would listen.

I don't know what the exstatic was thinking making that asinine post
Would a max extension have to be for the maximum number of years, and could the last year be a partial guarantee like LMA's?
It still sounds like a sandwich, but it might not be all that sloppy.
Make sure you know what the actual cap will be before you sign anything RC (or RCs assistant-whoever is making the call).
The last thing you need is thinking you have re-signed DDR for $30M per in a $116M Salary Cap,just to end with DDR taking up 30% of your cap on a $100M Budget.
Oh man, this would be such a PATFO thing to do
Flashbacks of them outbidding themselves at 12:01am and giving out a loyalty contract to a Spanish llama that played here for a year and turned them down in the past.
this team
Kawhi is a genius if this is how the front office is
My god
Imagine justifying eating a sandwich.
