Around The NBA Week 17 - The Truth Hurts!

[Greenie]

Jokic is awesome

Can I make an official Kawhi watch thread?
I feel like I should(you know I stan for him, plus I do think he’s getting moved). I want him so bad Cap.

It'll either get merged back here or the Trades/Transactions threads.

I won't mess with it if you go a little nuts in here about him. These Around threads need something to get lit about. They've been a little quiet this year

I <3 <3 <3 Kawhi too. Though it's probably a little different on my end, the basic principles of him being awesome apply. He's getting slept on RN.

I just feel like this little drama going on in SA needs it’s own thread.

If we get Kawhi the east is ours.

For KP/Timmy? Probably is in a few years. That's a cap positive deal for us getting rid of Timmy too. We'd be able to max Kawhi and get him a running mate.

Which is why the Spurs wouldn't touch it.

Yep.
I’m trying to fix our cap and keep it fixed

[Besart19]

Timmy's in the Kawhi deal

Look, this side of this type of argument isn't my forte. I'm having a rough time with it. I never meant to consider real situations where Kawhi would come here because there are none. It's not happening but he's my fave fave player.

So many variables. If we get a top 3 pick I would say our odds skyrocket. If we get the #1 pick and we offered that pick with Noah and Frank for Kawhi, do the Spurs really say no?

Yes. The deal is Timmy and KP

Ayton / KOQ / Kornet
Parker / Harkless / LT
Kawhi / Troy / Beasley
Frank / Dotson / Diallo
Trey / Muddy / Parker


Moving on.

Porzingis
Aldridge
Anderson
Diallo
Murray

Thats so Knicks-esque for a Spurs tradition, tbh

Decent squad with Timmy off the bench.

Well good luck with that

I'm probably more invested in BAF right now than I am in the Knicks.

Me too. My cap is straight though.
The real life Knicks on the other hand...

It's a fun game as everyone gets to play out the scenarios they talk about on the board without the team then going and setting you back to zero. My cap is good enough that I'll be able to do what I planned to do. Just need some of my gambles to pay off long term.

You've still got that asset boat, don't you?

Yes. I have a bunch of stuff.

Ayton is unrealistic, man. Don’t do this to yourself

[3toheadmelo]

julius randle had a triple double last night. at this point, lakers will match any offer he gets. shame on those who didn't want him in the first place! (u know who u are)

I don’t think he’s a RFA anymore

yeah i know
ayton hasn't really got any love on this board though. that has been shocking to me all year

He’s really the most imposing dude I’ve seen in a while. I think part of is the new direction of the league, the fact that it’s a long shot and also that we have KP so ppl aren’t sure if it will work. But he’s def like 1 or 1a for me with Doncic.

I wanted. Certainly for our spare parts.

They made the right choices with who they kept at the deadline, imo. I like Nance too but they had a bit of redundancy.

I wonder if they keep KCP next year if two big fish don't come.
