    The Spaniards hate the French so the Spurs have 3 French players I think...this bodes well for our chances

    And the spurs didnt talk shit about spaniards in their locker room while playing his little brother in the playoffs that got leaked out to the media and really pissed the spaniards off. So theres that.

    Pau can also ask sergio, rudy and claver how they liked it out here if he wants references. Im sure that will go over real well.

    You think a locker room remark about his nationality matters?! For 20 million a year, you could strap me to a chair, make me watch Patch Adams eight hours a day whIle duct taping my eye lids open and I wouldn't give a sh-t!

    The only thing that matters at his age is what's in his bank account.

    Im not saying in and of itself will that stop him, but a lot of that stuff was thrown at his brother. And coupled with sergio, claver, and rudy being unhappy here, as well as the fact that we arent as good as the spurs, dont have popovich as a coach, or thibodeau who he has a relationship with, we HAVE to offer him the most money in order to even have a chance.

    Every other free agent big that might be able to start is going to get signed in the amount of time it's taking Pau to sign with SA.

    Their issues were over playing time. Either way I really don't want Pau.

    We had to offer Turner more money to sign here. So does it really matter? I don't buy any song and dance from players saying they came here because of the team or because they wanted to win. I I believe Dame but that's it. I'm sick of this loving the players crap. It's a business.

    I think that's pretty much every free agent we talk to. The phrase "I've got Portland on the other line...." must be a great negotiating technique.

    A Spanish paper apparently said he's waiting for Durant and would go to GS when Durant doesn't go there.
