I get the impression he means going some place and riding the bench ala Rashard Lewis and Juwon Howard in Miami. He's gonna be a contributor for the Spurs.
 
I honestly hated that "built not bought" nonsense. I asked people if they'd turn down Bron or KD wanting to go to the Spurs via free agency and they were like, nah, that's not how the Spurs win :smh:
 
People really have the Mavs as a lock for the playoffs just because they got DeAndre? They still have no PG. Dirk looked like a shell of his former self last year. Parsons coming off surgery. Wes coming off one of the worst basketball injuries there is. A lot of questions there still.

They will be a good regular season team. They're gonna miss monta but don't really need a great pg the way carlisle gets down. Parsons with a bigger role should be more effective
 
The funny thing about saying "built not bought" is if it simply means getting a free agent then every team has been bought. Rodman not being drafted by Chicago means they bought him in some form or another. It doesn't make sense.
 
I don't see how the Spurs are old is a narrative.

Parker, Manu, Duncan. Those are 3 role players. Diaw and West.

Kawhi and LMA are young enough. Green is young. Mills and Anderson are young.

Their only old players won't be averaging more than 30 mpg.
 
For all the hype on kawhi he still hasn't taken that next step yet going into his 5th year now. Danny green can be invisible at times. Spurs will be in the mix but I can't crown em yet
what is that next step?

dude just won a defensive player of the year and outplayed the best player in the world in the finals the year before.  just cause the guy plays on an actual team and doesnt shoot 20+ times a game doesnt mean hes underacheiving
 
Spurs odds to win the title are 4-1 in Vegas. Still behind the Cavs 9-4 even though they just got dealt with by Curry.

There shouldn't be a next step. Dude is the BEST defender in the League. Young.
 
Kawhi Leonard is a top ten player in the league though....

Is he?

That's a good question actually. What is his ceiling? Is he a Draymond kinda guy or something more

This. He's a quiet beast Lots of people overlook him. Spurs have a good balance of young and old farts. But their old farts still have a certain sklliset that they have perfected and don't deviate from.

Dirk had a bad 3 games in the playoffs.

Where are you getting he looks like a shell of himseilf.
