    Not only that, I feel like he's going to get massively overpaid this summer. He's a good player who can make things happen, but he's an unrestricted free agent and some team will offer him $10m/yr or more.
    10M a year for Stephenson would be an absolute bargain, with the Spurs he'd become an All Star for sure, look at the SG position right now and look at what he can do (which is everything)... TP Stephenson Green Kawhi Diaw would be a great core to compete in the post Duncan/Manu era...

    "true" Spurs fan logic : TVag who got hacked successfully at age 27 and was the worst player in the Finals is worth 10M but that'd be a massive mistake to give that kind of money to triple double threat like Stephenson who hasn't hit his prime yet... But but but you don't understand he's a "true Spurs"... Ok then...

    Lance will get paid. Probably overpaid. Fortunately, not by the Spurs.

    Why do I like talented players, well you saw in the OKC game why, then again you're probably happy enough with regular season championships so it's all good

    Yeah, because Smith, Gordon and Stephenson have to rent out other people's hands to have enough room for all their rings.

    As opposed to the great Derrick Williams?...

    Guards don't win championships but Smith and Stephenson can play both ends at a level way way way higher that Mills Beli... I always hated Mills and Beli failed to convince... Reggie Jackson who plays both ends is 100 times more valuable than them IN THE POs... But hey what do I know... I'm just a random troll on a message board...

    I stand by the Stephenson idea even more than before the Thunder game... We can resume the debate after the POs...

    There's no outcome to the playoffs that makes Stephenson an FA target for the Spurs.

    I wanted to trade Bonner for Williams. That's completely different from trading Green or Beli for the right to pay Stephson eight figures. It would have filled a position of semi-need with a talented prospect for the price of almost nothing. At best, Stephenson would have been a lateral move and most likely, he would hurt both sides of the court with his system-busting ways.

    Stephenson will never make sense for these Spurs. If the Big Three and Pop all depart after this season, maybe they sign him to lead the team to the lottery.

    Sure. The post Duncan era will be about getting another system buster like Manu anyways, might as well get him one year early to put us over the top...

    And there's no collection of game stats that makes Stephenson an FA target for the Spurs.

    I asked somewhere else and somebody deleted it, what about Biedrins? Is he totally washed up? The guy is a 7 footer and still in his 20's and was just cut a couple of weeks ago. May be better than Baynes?

    Biedrins got paid and gave up on the game. Honestly, to shoot 24% from the FT line over the past 4 years (20-84 FTM-FTA) is just laziness. $54m for 6 years work, dude flat out robbed Golden State.

    Spurs will use MLE on some vet. Gasol, Marion, Humphries, Ariza, maybe Paul Pierce if he fails in Brooklyn

    Marion, Ariza or Pierce would be excellent, but I don't see either Marion or Pierce leaving this summer. I think we need to be looking at 2015 free agency and Ariza will want a longer contract than just 1 year.

    If we could get Marion for a year at MLE money, I'd be ecstatic.

    I'd still rather use the MLE on overseas prospects. Looking at the bottom of the rotation, the team could use some fresh blood. If they want to use the rest for a Beli-esque contract, I'd be content. But they shouldn't try to buy a rotation player. That hasn't worked in years.

    The last player the Spurs signed, intending rotation play, that was north of 30 years old was Dice in 2009. That ship has sailed.

    And thank god for that. The team needs to keep focusing on upside and growing their own talent.

    Jump in cap this year and next year predicted. If cap is $66m in 2015 as predicted then we could have a lot of cash to lure free agents

    It woulf be enough to offer a full max if the Spurs play their cards right. I don't see why they'd blow it up if any of the Big Three want to stay.
