Just a FYI. You cannot do a S&T using the supermax.
A designated veteran extension can only be signed from the end of the July Moratorium through the last day before the start of the regular season. A player who signs a designated veteran contract or extension can't be traded for one year after he is signed.
Good to know.
-
He’s not getting traded to a team without an extension.
-
IMO he either signs the supermax and water flows under the bridge or he’s getting signed and traded. We’ll know in July. There’s no way his team allows him to play out the season without a new contract. They’ll Kyrie the Spurs.
-
The Spurs gave everything they had last night and still fell way short. They have no answer for KD and Klay Thompson is en fuego and is being guarded by midgets.

The main difference was the three-point shooting: 48% for Golden State and 14% for the spurs.
Good god.

Dejounte looks like a deer in headlights on the offensive end.
Did you perhaps watch Forbes play tonight?

Not much you can do once Durant is on the court with him. Somebody is going to have a size mismatch.
I heard tell of this Dejounte. I wonder if he exists.
-
Forbes and Patty guarding Klay is just horrible coaching.
-
Brynn Forbes has had the worst two minutes of any Spur I can remember in a long time.
-
Man somebody get Gasol out the fucking game. Dudes stupid fouling.
-
Danny continues his torrid pace from downtown.
-
GODDAMNIT PATTY MAKE A FUCKING LAYUP!
-
And now you can’t play defense on Durant.
-
Durant is like death from a thousand paper cuts.
-
Kyle is stuck in regular season mode. Unfortunately, so is Patty.
-
Completely different effort than Saturday.

I guess they haven't had much "maxable" talent other than TP and Manu but so the answer would be "no, they don't just max medium to high performers because they are afraid to lose them." They've definitely never given a supermax. Looking at the bigger picture, the spurs are at a crossroads in their culture. Do they pay people big money and build around the production of a very defined centerpiece, or do they try and keep everyone in their roles and potentially have players believe that the spurs are holding back their careers?
Three things happen in this scenario...
1. You have massive success and your move emboldens you to play even better and you transcend the game (lebron).
2. You become the quitter or sellout and have a negative perception for the near-mid future (KD).
3. You never find a spot to fit in, constantly search for a role that you "want" but can't find, you become "trade-able" because you still have very high perceived value (dwight howard).
The supermax is a fairy new ... oh wait I’m talking to JHawk. Nevermind.

Boston could put together an interesting offer for him.
They’ll lowball the Spurs and the Spurs ought to and will kindly say “fuck off.”

I think he is being told that he won't get a supermax from SA. I'm not sure if that is true or not but SA doesn't typically hand out max contracts does it? Aside from LMA (is he even max?) have they ever maxed someone? Maybe he is just positioning himself to walk away and not be the bad guy like KD is/was.
Beyond that, at this point, would he even be welcomed back to the bench if he said he was ready to play? Sure you take good players when you can get them, but with Pop, TP, and Manu all voicing frustration with the events would he just kill whatever culture is there? I have to believe a this point a trade over the summer is imminent.
He hasn’t been told that. Every indication before this debate eroded into fans flinging poo was that Kawhi was going to be offered the super max. I’m sure SA will still offer it, but he’s got to prove that he can play at that level and that he’s committed to being a Spur. Otherwise he’s somebody else’s problem.
Of course he would be welcomed back, but that’s not going to happen. Because of his team’s non-communication over the season and into the playoffs, no one has been able to guess when or if he’s playing again this season. It finally took the backlash over him not being there for them to finally rule him out.
-
Me too. Dude was seriously underrated and he’s a top ten all time player.
-
The thing about that line of thought is that there is absolutely nothing preventing him from getting endorsements in San Antonio. His main detriment is that he has the personality of the shoes he so badly wants compensation for wearing. That’s not going to change in L.A.
-
Not since he was pushed out of an airplane.

Why would both parties destroy their leverage? The Spurs can just hold onto him for another year while he sits out. A young guy wasting two good years out of spite seems like a dumb move.
Again, the last thing we've heard from Kawhi himself was that he wants to remain a Spur for life. Everything else is reading between the lines drama.
Coach doesn’t know what’s up. Teammates ain’t heard from him or see him. Won’t show up to the games. Major NBA writers with sources in both camps commenting on the disconnect. GM’s from other teams circling. That “between the lines drama” is at a “Requiem for a Dream” level.

I really hope this shit ain’t true.
