Could it means that Kawhi will stay in SA ?

I don't think Parker's decision has any bearing on what Kawhi does. I think the whole Parker quote was overblown, especially when you watch the actual clip of what Parker said.

The relationship between Kawhi and the Spurs seemed to be deteriorating long before Parker made that comment.

And damn. First, Duncan. Now, Parker. Manu is the only one left, and he might retire. It is truly the end of an era, not just in San Antonio, but for the NBA itself.


Unless Manu needs the money he should just retire. Spurs are going to be bad next year.

This is the part that SA needs to understand. Its over. The time to rebuild is now, like it or not. Thus, their asking for players vs draft picks lr a mix of lesser players and a high draft pick isn’t the proper ask.

What a horrible way to end a great career. In Charlotte.

LOL

What are the Hornets doing? I get going after a guard if you want to possibly move Kemba, but why spend that money on Tony Parker? :noway:

Mitch and Jordan is a lethal combination

I would tear it down and rebuild

With that said, what gives people the idea that the Spurs will be bad next year? Where is that coming from? Who have they lost from last year's team?

Leonard had no impact last year
Parker avg 7 points a game on a 49.8 TS%, he didn't have a positive overall impact.

They won 47 games

I am under the assumption Leonard won't play for them and who know what the return will be. Manu and Gasol are old and Aldridge who will be 33 when the season starts, is getting up there as well. Gay is decent but the rest of the roster is not very impressive. I am not saying they will win 25 games or anything but I see them winning 35 games and missing the playoffs.

Zach Lavine to the Kings, 4 years, $78 million. Lol at GarPax thinking he could sign him for $15 million/year.

Zach LaVine can't defend a spider and looked absolutely awful in his return from his torn ACL last year and the Kings are offering him $20 million annually? Never change, Sactown.

Kings are desperate to win games next year. They don’t wanna end up in the lottery or in the top 10.

Signing Zach LaVine to a four-year, $80 million deal is not the way to go about that. That's how you become...well...the Kings.

So let’s talk AD... He can opt out summer of 2020. So if the Pelicans suck next season.. then NO will most likely look to trade him next summer.. no?

Well i hope you’re right. Want the pick to be around 2-8 assuming it’s not traded.

Zach doesn't make any sense for Vlade. When the roster is looked at, they already drafted their point guard, and have several shooting guards to pick as the starter.

Financially, they have money to use, and to get an asset for free.


Bulls will match. They have lots of money to spend too. Can't let LaVine disappear, it would be like giving away Butler for a lot less.


Kyle Anderson. That is interesting. The Spurs are falling apart. Shows how bad they really are. If they didn't tank for Duncan, they would have been a big nothing. Spurs probably match.

Anderson on Memphis, with the passing he would add to Gasol, they would be an interesting team. Lots of passing, Gasol and J Jackson hitting 3s.


Shows how little that teams think of Marcus and his bricking. Smart might end up signing an offer sheet similar to the K Anderson numbers. If Vlade gives him an offer like LaVine's, that would be so Vlade.
