Not a bad option tbh.... if it means keeping Simmons, an Mills...trade Paul for a back up sf an a serviceable big.
I'd offer POR Pau's 16.2M contract for Harkless, Fetus's 7.7M contract and the 20th pick.
They'd shed 9.6M this year and there future payments to Harkless.

I remember when Tolliver was part of our youth movement LOL
Id be all over that too. Fwiw
However, Harkless is actually on a good deal. I see POR dangling those picks for only Evans/ Crabbe.
I just really doubt Portland would want to make us better.
Think 76ers or other will have to offer significantly more than Spurs to pry Mills loose and if/when, expect Spurs to pursue Teodosic or Williams to pair with Murray. Murray and Calderon is not good enough to maintain current level and Forbes is a SG.
They'd carry 4 PG's in scenario I outlined and so long as two can guard SG's, that might happen given dearth of quality wing options.
Lol theres two sides of it. Spurs would be helping them too. Its not like its a one sided win. Its an interesting idea. 95% chance it doesnt happen.
If Forbes is an SG, so is Patty.
Pop is molding him into a combo like he did Neal and Patty. So yes, he can play it like them too imo.
The difference is, Forbes is an SG defensively too. They'll try to mold him into a combo, but he'll always be primarily a SG.
If you really think they're going with Murray and a fringe rotation PG, you're going to be disappointed.
Keep in mind, there's a good chance Ginobili retires and Simmons gets a poison pill offer. The back court isn't going to be comprised of broken Parker, Green, unproven youngsters and veteran filler. There will be another top 3 guard.
Simmons will be the one who get broughts back, not Patty, if all else stays same before FA. Unless Simmons gets 15-18 mil per offer. I think SA matches anything btw 9-13 mil per over paying Patty 11-17 mil per.
So youd see
Murray
Green
Kawhi
Vet PG/ Forbes or Simmons/ TP
Hanga/ Forbes
Simmons/ Anderson
Theyll be fine with that. Imo. Maybe better than last yr depending on Murray/ Simmons/ Forbes growth over summer.
Simmons is gone if he gets a poison pill offer.
So they'd leave a gaping hole in the back court, when they can either utilize Mills' Bird rights or the MLE to fill it, why?
Murray can and will still get plenty of opportunity, if Mills is re-signed or replaced by Teodosic or Williams. What won't happen, is him being forced to take on too much, too soon, which would happen if paired with a fringe rotation type.
I have a sneaking su ion that this is going to end up like the Mahinmi debate in the '10 off season.
Unless they feel beholden to us for taking LMA off their hands.
Be very wary of washed-up Free Agents or their agents declaring interest from the Spurs. Most likely a gimmick to up their almost non-existent value.
Pop though:
Gawd. Why?!?!
That doesnt mean a damn thing. It was kind of tongue in cheek which is Pops thing at times. Let time tell it.
I think RC is brighter than to pay Patty.
Go back and listen to Pops end of season presser. At 5:30 mark, they ask specifically about Patty and the answer is actually serious, not tongue in cheek.
What did he say?
Go listen to it.
I think the third player here is the Spurs' own pick (#29), so you're actually in agreement here.
What's better insight into their intention, the comments about Mills or this generic response: "Well, we don't have time to go through the decision making process now, 'cuz that's pretty complicated and depends on a lot of factors."?
I am curious TD 21... how did that end? and what was the debate?
(that b4 my time following the Spurs... ty)
ok I will look it up.
(I saw it back when he gave it but frankly I don't remember it)
