  1. I was kind of wondering if this would eventually happen. The Spurs could send Kawhi to the Lakers for a good package, and maybe send LMA to Philly for a good package of picks and young players too. LMA only makes a little more than Kawhi, so the money probably works out, but Fultz, Saric, Kuzma, Ingram and 3-5 picks would be a hell of a starter kit for any team. 
    I want whatever the hell this guy is smoking

  2. What's this great culture you are referring to here? Isn't Philly the team whose gm or president just got fired for talking shit about his own players on fake twitter accounts? I mean Philly with Kawhi could make the finals so that in itself might be enough to get him to resign but is the culture reference to the team, the city or what?
    Brett Brown is basically a Pop starter kit

  3. They are expecting Manu back. 





    I have slightly mixed emotions. On one hand I love him as much as I love Timmy - they are both impeccable IMO. On the other, I don't want to see him hang on too long.

    I wonder if Marco allows for Manu to get more built in nights off. Could we see 2-3 game stretches where you just plug Marco instead of Manu? Manu was always seemed far more effective after a few days rest.
  4. Isn't it possible that all these leaks are simply the ham-handed negotiation tactics of an amateur agent?

     

    Uncle Dennis is not exactly a seasoned professional.

     

    All we've ever heard from Kawhi himself is that he wants to be here, and be healthy.

     

    I would bet the Spurs told Kawhi's team that the Supermax wasn't a lock because his health has been dicey. I'm guessing they explained they'd like to see him qualify for it again this year, and they'd offer it next summer.

     

    This was probably the Spurs starting point for negotiation. Uncle Dennis' move? Leak that Kawhi wants out, and force the Spurs to cave into either 1) offering supermax or 2) actually trading him.

     

     

     

     

  5. It's my first fathers day. Our son was born the Friday after Mother's Day.

    I'd be really into the new e-go weed whacker or my go-to....which is any criquet polo....

    But I should just ask for stuff for the newborn, right?

  6. My 2005 Lexus has heated and cooled seats. Why are some of y'all acting like this is a new invention?

    I installed my own $130 bluetooth unit hardwired onto the Bose system and everything sounds great.

    Any navigation I need comes from Google or Waze. I have literally no reason to buy a new car and this thing is 13 years old.
    How did you install the Bluetooth? Googled the same project for my 09 ES and it looked pretty damn complicated
  7. And I would love to negotiate with you. The Spurs have all the leverage here. Kawhi's family is apparently trying to maximize his earnings. He's already left millions on the table with Nike and he isn't making that money up if he signs a free agent contract anywhere other than San Antonio after next season. Only the Spurs can offer him the super max. And, unless I'm mistaken, if the Spurs don't offer it this summer then he has to come back next year and re-qualify for it which would mean making an all-nba team or being league MVP or defensive player of the year. So why would they commit that money not knowing if he's going to play? If he comes back and he qualifies for the supermax, then they will offer it to him. If he can't go, then they will have paid him $39 million for two seasons of not playing. 
    The risk is that he's unrestricted, which ultimately gives him all the leverage if he thinks he can make up the money off the court....which seems to be the case.

    One of the reasons (maybe THE reason) why the Cavs moved Kyrie is because he threatened to get season-ending surgery if they didn't trade him. At which point he would have zero trade value, and walks at the end of the season leaving the Cavs with nothing to show for it. Would Kawhi play hard ball like this? Do Pop+RC want to find out?
