Yeah
Players have more freedom comparatively
But also two current factors we may not always have: a bunch of gms unafraid to let their nuts hang (ainge Morey presti etc); and the sheer gravity of lebron free agency

"Who the Spurs want to get deeply involved with is the Boston Celtics." what a way to make a living.
― scopin' VARs (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 28 June 2018 22:20 (five years ago) link
i mean its obvious celtics got the best assets but its also obv they dont want to pay market for nothing bc DEALS
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Thursday, 28 June 2018 22:22 (five years ago) link
they also won’t pay market because kawhi is damaged goods.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 28 June 2018 22:34 (five years ago) link
shhhh he's probably fine
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Thursday, 28 June 2018 22:35 (five years ago) link
even at 90% he's better than anyone on the celtics currently
another aspect to the whole Kawhi thing i just considered and correct me if i'm wrong on some points: that while the public didn't know it, it's likely that the team probably knew that Pop's wife was battling an illness that was likely going to take her life, and through all this he was coaching and handling the team, and Kawhi's absence and weirdness would be even worse in the context of all that, especially with Pop being a genuinely beloved guy and player's coach; Kawhi just acting in a way that was making Pop's professional life more difficult while his personal life was causing him ridiculous amounts of stress.
― omar little, Thursday, 28 June 2018 22:39 (five years ago) link
it would also explain a bit more a lot of the snappiness directed at Kawhi from certain guys, idk though, it's just speculation.
v v possible. altho nothing ive read indicates that kawhi had any beef with pop specifically, that most of his ire is with the org as a whole/med staff. but def fucked up.
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Thursday, 28 June 2018 22:40 (five years ago) link
You say you want my trust and told me you were leavin'How am I to know that you won't do it to meYour tellin' me its different but what the hell is differentIf you cheated on pop you'll do it to me
― scopin' VARs (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 28 June 2018 22:44 (five years ago) link
From the outside looking in, Kawhi's uncle Dennis seems like a big problem ... like maybe bigger than Lavar? What do you think, bise?
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Thursday, 28 June 2018 23:05 (five years ago) link
that the spurs would be asking for a ton for kawhi and that the celtics would be trying to offer significantly less than that just seems like... normal trade negotiations to me?
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 28 June 2018 23:14 (five years ago) link
of course, which is why articles about how the spurs really wish the celtics would put their best and final on the table are funny.

the narrative from Extremely Hurt Spurs Fans is that kawhi's uncle is pulling the strings and influencing kawhi so they can all live it up back home in socal. i don't think that kawhi would be passing up all this money* unless he really didn't want to be here. he's losing at least ~$30M by not signing this supermax extension, and if he gets traded to [non-LA team x] and signs with some other teams, that's another tens of millions of dollars he's passing up (which i why i think celtics should seriously consider taking on kawhi and then if he wants to leave, get some sign and trade stuff coming back their way. if he doesn't, yay for them).

Dwight Howard is an eight-time All-Star, three-time winner of the Defensive Player of the Year, and has been named All-NBA First Team five times. And he's set to become a free agent. Howard, 32, is yet to sign a buyout with the Brooklyn Nets, but the thought is he will soon be a free agent. Where will he land next? He reportedly has his eyes on the champs. According to Sam Amick of USA Today, Howard has "serious interest in the Warriors." The question is, do the Warriors have interest in him? Multiple reporters have hinted the back-to-back champs don't see Howard as a fit.
