Ps...Spurs ain't losing this series
Just getting this thing primed and ready for next week...
Obvious priorities are a new starting PG and prolly Tim/Manu replacements. We all know about Pau Gasol, but would he be an optimal replacement or should the Spurs go more defensive athletic shot blocker? How would you like to see the Spurs going about finding a new PG: draft or FA?

We need better rebounding and an upgrade at the PG position.
I think if Kawhi doesn't play well in this series we might need to upgrade the SF position.
HA. HA. HA.
In all seriousness though, use this thread to discuss what you think/what you'd like the team to do in the offseason whether that's in a week or two months.
Parker will be the starting point guard next season, but they need to find a point guard at least somewhat in the mold of Joseph. If it can't be found in the draft, I'd look into trading for Grant or Wright.
As nice as it would be to have an athletic, defensive center, I wouldn't pass up Gasol. He's not the rim protector Duncan is, but he's as close a facsimile as you'll find to the Duncan of the past half decade (pre knee injury this season, as he obviously hasn't been the same since).
This. Our chances aren't very good vs Dubs, but we are not ing losing to this Thunder team.

I want to join you in this discussion Rob... but it's probably too soon for me. The season is not over.
First we need to know if Timmy and Manu come back for a last season. If they do, maybe they run this same team back banking on improvement from younger guys, a draft pick, maybe a foreign prospect like Bertans coming over, maybe a role player signed in FA to strengthen a weak spot like Gasol. It's hard to get a feel for what to do when you don't know the cap, who's coming back and what spots exactly you need to fill.
In general I think we need a rim protector and a guard but that is bc I project Timmy and Manu retiring.
We have projects in Boban and Simmons and that is a polemic in itself, whether or not ppl think improvements from them in a second season will make up for the retirement of Tmmy and Manu. Boban specifically will need to be resigned. Simmons showed potential but he was inconsistent and perhaps needed more development.
Future HOF players will be missed so maybe the Spurs attempt to go after a third star/scorer like Durant. That requires a lot of reshuffling of the roster in itself too and is a risky move bc Spurs would have to now really move guys they use (instead of letting Cojo, Baynes, Marco walk, who saw limited playoff time with Spurs anyways). I am unsure he's even interested in joining this team.
Do the Spurs resign Boban, and for how much? Is D west coming back? Etc. Too many unknowns.
right, I mean he did win FMVP in 2014. Keep him forever
All of you go jump off a bridge. Save us from these miserable posts.
Oh, okay. The 12 year old responds.
Did I miss something? Did the Spurs lose the series already? Fail!
You just haven't come to terms with it...
The real offseason question will be "do we bring everyone back after winning the championship?"

I am with you Bill.
And when we do win, I still hope we refresh the roster. But that is chat for the summer.
Tbh, it's Dwight or bust. If LMA had an athletic big next to him who can actually dunk then the Spurs would have the GOAT frontline.
Rather have Holford, tbh.Tbh, it's Dwight or bust. If LMA had an athletic big next to him who can actually dunk then the Spurs would have the GOAT frontline.
I am with you Bill.
that, Horford has looked terrible so far this postseason. I'd rather go for a cheaper option if Gasol is ruled out. Maybe bring back Mahinmi.
^ This. And you can't say he'll do better in the Spurs system when Atlanta has a similar offense.
Ummm...Tbh, it's Dwight or bust. If LMA had an athletic big next to him who can actually dunk then the Spurs would have the GOAT frontline.
