If Manu retires..Spurs need to go get George Hill..he would be a good fit next to Patty
If Manu retires I think retaining Beli is a must, tbh.

It's really not the worst idea in the world. The dude can get his own shot on offense and defend at an above-average level. But I'd only take him in a trade while the team remains over the cap.
I personally think CoJo could handle the backup 2 spot if necessary. Patty can play off the ball and Joseph is big enough to guard 2 guards. he can also get to the paint, much like old Manu tbh.
I wanted to see 16 red X's again this year.
What are the more realistic mid-range FA's that we could pull in?
Exactly right. Only other risk is if Green gets a ridiculous offer while waiting for the dominoes to fall, but chances are Green deal is worked out and ready to sign as soon as cap space is ready to be used.
Given the rising cap, I would be in favor of a Splitter-like contract for Green where it's front-loaded. Would give max flexibility when Duncan is certainly back in the USVI.
And you're right on the price for LMA. Splitter, Mills or Diaw would likely have to be shipped out, but it's totally doable. I imagine it'll be one of the bigs, as they can't lose Mills if Manu/Marco/CoJo are already gone and that's assuming Green stays.

“It hasn't sunk in yet, but this is a special group,” Green said. “That's why it sucks so bad, especially for Timmy (Duncan) and Manu (Ginobili). We had anopportunity to do something special for them. All I can do is hope and pray for another group like that in the future, but I have a feeling some of those guys will be back. R.C. and Pop do a great job of bringing in new guys.”

“Hopefully, I'll be back,” he said. “I love San Antonio. The fans have alwayssupported us, from day one. It sucks that we had such a special group, and things may be changing and not be the same again.”

I could be completely off-base too, tbh... that's always a possibility. I just think the Spurs will not enter a bidding war for Danny's services. If they have to go that route, I suspect they'll take a good look at the market as a whole.
I just think it's way more plausible that the Spurs look to make a splash using money that would potentially go to Green (since he's off the books, or technically is), rather than signing Green, then trying to dump Mills/Diaw/Splitter to make room. I'm actually not convinced at all the FO likes Green more than any of those 3 guys. But that's just me.
Right now, I see him strictly as a backup SF.
That's the kind of mold I think they'll be looking at. A combo guard that can penetrate and dish, but also get his own shot...
So CoJo....
I'd like somebody a bit more seasoned and consistent than Cojo... Basically, "Cojo in a good day", but all the time...
2 teams expected to show a lot if interest in Danny Green are OKC and the Knicks, according to twitter.
CoJo will be in his 5th year next season....5 years in the Spurs system and will probably considerably cheaper than anybody they bring in....
He did really well when he didn't defer to Manu. Won't have that issue if Gino hangs em up tbh
Don't forget Cojo is a RFA too... we'll see what kind of offers he receives too, and how much are the Spurs willing to match...
OKC came to my mind and would be perfect fit...that better not happen
Wouldn't be surprised if CoJo still plays in Texas next season, but not as a Spur tbh.
I don't think OKC is much of a threat. The Knicks are his home team and are gonna throw a stupid amount of money at him tho....
Welp, just heard Pop say that he thinks the team will look substantially different next year. That they picked this year to have a lot of FA to be able to retool.
So I guess it will be an interesting summer after all...
Good. They need a shakeup.
I can see Green bolting for NY as I think they will give him close to $10 million a year imo. Ultimately I think he stays for about $6-7 million a year for three years. He seems to love it here in SA, and I believe his girlfriend is from here also, so that may help.
Bring back Duncan, Leonard, and LDN.
Danny will make at least 10mil/year next season. I don't think that's even questionable tbh.

Here's the quote. Definitely sounds like things will be different. Good. I think they need to get rid of dead weight and inject some fresh blood. It's always a gamble but it's time.
“We haven’t talked yet about that. We’ve got a pretty good number of free agents so with R.C. and the coaches and the group we’ve talked about what we want to do going forward with the makeup of the team but the team will probably look considerably different than it looks this year because we have so many free agents and we want to re-tool a little bit.
"We want to try to start — not exactly over again — but these last four seasons have been a grind and we put the team together with that in mind, that this year we’d have all the free agents so we can decide what we want to do moving forward, as far as the makeup of the team. So we’ll spend a lot of time on that but as far as if guys are retiring or not we haven’t touched that."
