Also re the Kawhi article those types of things are usually reported with the reporter knowing a lot more than can be printed due to knowledge that is off the record or has only one source.

That article contained zero new information and ended with the author saying that regardless of what is going on, Kawhi and Pop's relationship has not been harmed by what Pop said yesterday.

So unless Kawhi wants to be the first player to turn down the designated veteran player extension (which I imagine the Spurs would offer) or they get an insane offer (not two bad overpaid players and a late 1st) Kawhi will probably be staying!

I feel like you're taking my very serious response to an even more serious post a little too seriously.

You can't turn down what isn't offered. Would Cousins, Butler or George have insisted on a trade if they had those offers on the table?

If the front office doesn't want that kind of contract on the books or don't think they can compete for a title during its span, they trade the guy while they can get value.

Also PG wasn't even eligible to receive one because he didn't make the All-NBA team in 2 of the 3 previous seasons.

Not right now but it's also not fair, Duncan was not GREAT as a freshman either and it was not much of a guess when it came to picking him since he was a senior and already firmly one of the best basketball players in the country.

No. They're pretty pinnacle O and D prospects respectively though.

If I was better at making basketball highlights I'd show you all the David West's passing centric warriors sets that I just saw. If they'd had david west instead of mo speights in the 73 win season I Think they might have won 78

Milos Teodosic is incredible


If you're a spurs fan you should retain your san antonio snootiness by constantly pointing out how good their offense is while taking 100 midrange jumpers per game, they don't need to follow trends, they're on another plane, ascended, much like the Ancients and Others from Stargate SG-1

Duke just changed to a Zone defense midseason because Marvin Bagley doesn't understand defense

He has Chris Bosh but better ceiling but right now he LACKS DISCIPLINE (and it takes advantage of his ability to cover out to the perimeter while still not being a sound fundamental defender)

I won't talk about Ayton because I have nae watched him

This is really good news. The Spurs are 24-10 with Gay in the lineup, 11-14 without.

Hopefully after he comes back he doesn't demand a trade and then sit out the rest of the year.
