It's a fake rumor, tit for tat for that stuff about Porzingis thinking about not re-signing

The Knicks have a moral responsibility to trade Porzingis because a young basketball player should not have to deal with that kind of negativity

david lee opted out with the spurs. wouldn't be surprised to see him try to land in GS if he can't find a satisfying contract.

spurs may try to resign him at a slight pay raise, but have many other roster concerns to contend with.

pau opting out means the spurs can probably just afford the status quo (patty and simmons).

don't know how they're going to shore up their front court needs. maybe its time anderson took on full back up 4 responsibilities. probably bring over some tall euros.

“It makes no sense why he shouldn’t get an extension,” James recently told ESPN. “He’s pulled every move — he’s tried to make every move happen — to better this team to be able to compete for a championship. So we wouldn’t be in this position, obviously, without him and without the guys that are here — from the coaching staff to the players to Griff. He’s been a big piece of it.”

he's not a free agent so the spurs would have to trade for him right?

i'm just not seeing any major moves from the spurs this offseason, mostly just focusing on retention and shoring up the roster. its all about cap space in 2018 (when we chase lebron…jk…sorta)

Klay is both a better player and a better fit in Golden State than Zingis. So, I guess it'd piss of people who want them to get 75 wins....

Covington is a solid wing guard and Fultz will probably eventually be alright. Embiid is an elite rim protector if he can stay on the floor.

They'll still have the phil jackson apologists who will forgive any move, praise his name, phil makes as clever and 4th dimensional chess when if they were made by anyone else they would just be considered bad moves plain and simple. People are already making poo poo up to apologize for phil: porzingis is 7 3 who can't defend, overrated, not a superstar, didn't improve in his second season (mostly due to moves phil made), dramaqueen and if you can swap porzingis for two first round picks then who says no etc

The strat is that we pray Jackson is in scorched earth mode and accepts a trade of the Zinger/Thomas/Lee for Aldridge.
