Do y'all think he got a porn star pregnant and this is damage control?

I mean he's been in the country for about a week already so it's possible. Sir Charles has warned us about those San Antonio women.

Tim Duncan was such an exception to the general rule. Pop fukked up trying to make Kawhi Tim 2.0. That story of Kawhi during his first All-Star game. Uncle Dennis def played a part in driving the wedge in, but the whole "get over yourself" mantra of Pop probably rubbed Kawhi the wrong way. That concept really spawned itself because DunGawd didn't care about the showman side of the league.

lol timmy and pop are for real a match made in heaven. hasn't been a better fit between player and coach, and prolly never will be

Pre-FA insider article posted today. Couple good nuggets (other than the weird depth chart he posted).

Spoiler

Offseason transactions: Victor Wembanyama (draft) and Sidy Cissoko (draft)

What to watch: Tre Jones and cap flexibility

The Spurs once again have cap space. If their free-agent holds are wiped clean -- except for Jones, a restricted free agent -- San Antonio projects to have $35 million in space.

Jones is eligible to sign a four-year extension until June 30, after which he'll become a restricted free agent. Jones averaged a career-high 12.9 points and 6.6 assists this season. The Spurs had a 13.9% turnover percentage when Jones was on the floor. That rises to 16.0% when he is off.

The Spurs will also decide if they look to improve the roster via free agency or trades, or if they continue picking up draft assets while taking on unwanted contracts. The trades to acquire Devonte' Graham and Khem Birch netted San Antonio a first-round pick and six seconds. They also received a future second from Miami for taking back Dewayne Dedmon's contract.

What else to watch:

• Devin Vassell's rookie extension

Available exceptions: $7.7 million room and veteran minimum

Below the salary cap: $33 million

Key dates:

• June 29: The last date to tender a qualifying offer to Jones and Romeo Langford
• Oct. 23: The last day to extend the contracts of Vassell and Graham
• Oct. 31: The last day to exercise the third-year team options for Malaki Branham, Jeremy Sochan and Blake Wesley
