    There's definitely concern. It's not being talked about enough in the media, but there's definitely concern.

    Shams's article said "he's getting close to 100%" which means he's not 100% yet. After nearly a full year of not playing basketball, that's a bad sign. Add that to him rumored to be a lot more adamant than George was about going to LA and I think that's why you haven't heard any real concrete rumors on offers. You've heard a lot of speculation about LA and Boston and a little about Philadelphia, but nothing concrete in terms of an offer.

    I’ve been banging that drum hard in this thread.

    I think the Spurs don’t know if he will ever be the same MVP player again and that’s why they’re not offering the Super Max

    Yeah, it doesn't seem to get much talk in the media. Missing basically a whole year, and not looking too hot in the games he did play, certainly worries me. I'm definitely interested in getting him for a decent price, but don't want to pay too much with that risk hanging overhead.

    Hopefully this impacts what kind of offer we make for him. If his health is in question, it doesn’t seem equatable to give up two young pieces (Ingram and Kuzma).

    Exactly. I heard some media folks talking like we should a be offering our whole youth movement. Screw that.

    I say if it's Ingram they want, they have to take Deng too.

    I'm ok if Randle is the 2nd guy in a deal, say Kuz and Randle + picks and filler. Hate to see Randle go, but I feel like we're probably losing him regardless.

    Idk man, I'm nervous about everything right now. Lol. At the end of the day I trust in Maginka not to muck it up.

    Every day that passes their offers get worse. Draft day deals for picks are “potential”, but once they become actual players if they aren’t the ones you want, that team goes off your trade list. Spurs are only hurting themselves.

    Oh I have it on my phone, who cares? I love it. Take pics of my buds all the time with it. I just can't figure out how to transfer the pics to the other programs and splice them together like that, my kids are way better at that than me. So I have to have her do it.

    :Laugh:

    But Alcindor, I totally agree with your assessment on Mag/Rob playing hard to get. Part of it is to set leverage and part of it is they're just terrified to have another tampering probe thrown at them if the end game becomes realized as the dream scenario of Kawhi, Bron, 3rd max player this summer.
