Popovich showing hoe tendencies

He cried about the lakers getting pau gasol for marc gasol and the cap space for zach randolph (trade ended up being a win for memphis btw), but hes ok with david west option out of a 12.5 million dollar deal to play for 15 percent of what aaron baynes gets.

1. HOW DO YOU KNOW HE DIDNT ASK FOR A TRADE LAST SEASON?

2. A TRADE DOESNT GIVE HIM A TEAM OF HIS CHOOSING.
COULDA WOUND UP IN PHILLY OR SOME shyt.

CANT BE MAD AT HIM FOR WANTING OUT OF INDY.
HES RICH...HE CAN PUT HIMSELF IN AN ENJOYABLE SITUATION
INSTEAD OF PLAYING FOR A CHECK WHILE BEING MISERABLE.
:devil:
:evil:


What if he doesnt enjoy SA either? :francis:

What if him and Pop dont get along and he gets doghoused ala Stephen Jackson? :francis:

What if Parker & LMA go down with injuries

Like I said, a few mil, I could completely understand. Dude just turned down 11 mil, its a bit :mindblown:

“What they did in Memphis is beyond comprehension,” said Popovich. “There should be a trade committee that can scratch all trades that make no sense. I just wish I had been on a trade committee that oversees NBA trades. I’d like to elect myself to that committee. I would have voted no to the L.A. trade."

I just pray the basketball gods dont punish spurs with injuries

He's willing to take that risk i can respect that. Out of all the players in the league who say they do anything to win, West actually does.

nothing but respect for him.

I could understand a few mil, but forfeiting 10mil over the course of 1 season for something that is FAR from guaranteed is just stupid to me

None of us have money near these guys not to mention, in life, you can't be afraid to fail. Too many coulda, woulda, shoulda nikkas in this world breh.

HE WAS OPTING OUT WHETHER HE CHOSE SA OR NOT.

HES A GROWN MAN.

WHY YALL COUNTING HIS MONEY?

ONE THREAD DUDES MAD
AT GARBAGE nikkaS GETTING RIDICULOUS CONTRACTS
NOW YALL MAD AT A DUDE TAKING LESS MONEY.

:devil:
:evil:


to be fair, I said in the FA thread I thought it was :mindblown: of him to be opting out

Spurs are my 3rd favorite to take the West .. Its not like this is anything close to a sure thing
