I don't know why he wouldn't resign with Philly. The team would be a contender for many years, especially in the east, plus they can offer: 1) great culture 2) doctors that KL trusts 3) more money next summer than LA
I actually don't even know what a coffee barrel is - aren't coffee beans transported/stored in bags? I suppose chameleon steeps their cold brew in barrels? [emoji848]
[emoji102] 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.
Think that's right. But if Bron is in LA, doesn't a lineup of Simmons, Kawhi, Embiid + shooters feel like a threat to Golden State? Not to mention - it's Pop and Brett Brown here. "This is family business."
LeBron to LA seems like a lock Rumblings that PG is re-upping for another year in OKC Unless the Lakers throw in several unprotected picks then my money is on a friends+family deal with Philly.
I wonder if there is precedent for recovering from Kawhi's specific injury? Seems like at worst, he may never be the same - or at best, will have a shorter prime. If only there were a team known for maximizing an injured players' career. [emoji848]
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.
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?
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?
