This would be great. I just hope we can keep Kawhi happy.

Pop begins his term as the head coach of Team USA this year and his contract lasts through the 2020 Olympics in Japan. (Sidenote: Spurs' VP of basketball operations Monty Williams was an assistant coach on the 2016 USA squad.) Could the Spurs be playing the long game here?

There's no doubt Popovich, who served five years in the United States Air Force, took the job to serve his country and represent Team USA in the Olympics. But outsiders see the immense recruiting potential that will come with it. The players' respect and admiration for Pop is well known. James has called him the greatest coach of all time. It's not a stretch to think the Spurs' next star alongside Kawhi Leonard, who turned down the Rio Olympics in 2016, could be on Team USA in the coming years after getting to know Pop.

Just listened. I'm honestly surprised but both of those guys were completely out of touch (especially Simmons). They got a lot of their facts wrong. Simmons was talking out of his ass.


These guys have less information then we do. Still, to say the Spurs will be dramatically worse is not logical. It's all perception and the perception is they added no good pieces, Gay and Tony are injured, Lamarcus is a headcase and wants out, and Simmons was a great player and they barely made him an offer.

Sounds like some on this board.

I was listening to another show where they criticized the Knicks for not hirin RC Buford as the GM after he expressed interest in the job. I would bet everything I own that RC doesn't want any part of James Dolan. Thus crap just comes out of nowhere. And that's why I don't believe any reports anymore.

Speaking of Gay's injury, he's been posting videos frequently on his IG account. It's pretty fun to follow along his recovery process. He was doing short sprints today.

Yea, they lost me when they started talking about Parker's "achilles" injury.

Speaking of Parker, here is an update of sorts on his injury rehab:

Thread has slowed down, so let's have some predictions.

Who starts at PG to start the season, Patty or Dejounte?

Murray. Patty is too valuable as a scorer with the second team.

But, Patty will get the 4th quarter crunch time minutes if the game is close.

I saw an alert on my phone about this. Would that be for this year or next?

He got his feelings hurt (again), took his ball, and went home.

Wasn't my fault this time, so I don't expect a ban. I've been perfectly pleasant.

Tristan Thompson+Kyrie for LMA and Green works cap wise.

Would be awesome, Young core of Kawhi, Kyrie, plus Thompson for boards/lobs/rim protection. Seems too good to be true.

If we have to trade Green to get Kyrie, we are really going to miss Simmons. Went from having three lockdown wings to just the best one in the league.

If Kyrie's objective is to be the go-to player on his team, why would he want to come to San Antonio? Kawhi is gonna be the alpha dog here.

And yes, I know reports are he requested San Antonio as a possible trade destination.

Kawhi handles the ball plenty. His usage rate was comparable to Lebron's.

But I'll take Kyrie if he wants to be here.

BREAKING: Cavs to send Kyrie Irving to San Antonio for Patty Mills, Danny Green, and their 2018 1st round pick (Woj)
No. Patty can't be traded until right before the trade deadline.

Kawhi did because he had to. He is not primarily a ball handler. Guys like Kyrie, Chris Paul, James Harden, etc are primarily ball handlers.

I still think Kawhi will get plenty of iso opportunities, which takes the ball out of Kyrie's hands.

I think the Spurs would go back towards a pass first offense if they traded LMA for an elite PG like Kyrie.

Trot out a team like:

Gasol
Gay
Kawhi
Green
Kyrie

and you are a pass first motion team again like in 2014. Wouldn't be a lot of ISOs anywhere.

Who takes over PG duties for the Cavs? I'm all for bringing in Kyrie.
