Spurs are the only team that can and I can see them doing it just to fukk us over. I think Austin is hoping for that too hence why he hasn’t agreed to the Lakers deal yet.
Funny thing is that the Buss's are so fukking cheap that the Spurs are probably a little shook, they can imagine Jeannie not matching that shyt and saddling them with a big-ass contract that hurts their title-building hopes. They have to go in calculating, I'm not sure they'll give Reeves a bigger contract than they'd actually want him for on the off chance the Lakers force them to eat it.
Considering the Spurs' window, I wonder if they'd offer Reeves a huge 2-year contract, or 3 years with a team option, rather than the four-year contract I'm sure he's looking for. That way even if the Lakers made them eat the contract, they could get rid of it by the time team-building in Wemby's window starts.
