    I would have loved Paul for two seasons two seasons ago.

    Unfortunately, Spurs are not trading Tony Parker -- even if it meant CP3.

    I agree with above tweet; Paul is past being top option on a le contender--that if he was ever suitable for it considering his stature, position and his style of play. However, he is still way better than Kidd/Payton at that stage of their careers ..

    This reminds me of that situation back in '03 when the Spurs were trying to bring in a 30 yo jason kidd instead of rolling with a 21 yo TP. I am so glad that Kidd decided to stay in nj. With CP3 at 32 and dijon at 20, it made me reminisce about that time. The only difference this time is obviously the fact that Murray hasn't been "revealed" yet.

    Spurs do not put welcome billboard ups like Phoenix and gets players
    But Chris would guarantee playoff failure
    He would need to dominate the ball and would not work with Leonard here

    You're getting the best player in the WORLD for the Next 8 years. You would benefit just as much as we would. Do it RC.

    I mean porker already does that with epic failure. CP3 can run the offense and dump it to Kawhi in the fourth, if the game isn't over by then.

    People who call him a loser are idiots. He'd have at least 4 rings too if he'd played alongside Timmy and Manu. Parker wouldn't have any if he'd been the top guy on those Hornets and Clippers teams either. Sure, CP3 has faltered in some big games but it's not like Parker hasn't (Kerr, Barry, CoJo, Paddy have bailed him out throughout the years) yet he's considered a great winner.

    I'd take CP3 in a heartbeat even if he'll be overpaid in his later years. It's a no brainer if it means some les in the early years of the contract. Besides I think he'll age more like Stockton than some other speed reliant PGs. Has a deadly midrange game, a serviceable three, and is a great passer. If he's interested, Pop and RC have to do everything in their power to bring him in, imo.

    Some of you need to swallow a reality pill. CP3 came to the League as a borderline All-Star. Dejounte is nowhere near CP3 at 20y/o.

    Please no. Dude was absolute garbage. 13 points on 32% shooting at home against a mediocre team in G7.

    The first thing before trying to go after Paul is to secure the front court in the event of a Pau trade/opt out. The easiest way to do that would be to have Dedmon opt in with the promise that he's bound to get a ton more with another year to show off his talent and with Paul feeding him. Maybe he opts out and re-signs for the new, much bigger room exception, but you'd like to keep that to fill out the rotation if possible. If you do that, stash Milutinov (but not the pick) and let the FAs walk, you have just under $20 Million to offer him. Honestly, that's a great ring-chaser contract. You do the trick with Dedmon, it's $23 Million, but again, you'd like to keep something back just to fill out the rotation.

    Paul, Parker
    Green, Murray, Forbes
    Kawhi, Anderson
    LMA, Bertans
    Dedmon, (blank)/Lee/Pick

    I'd probably want to bring Nikola over anyway and use the pick on a wing while also bringing in Hanga. Regardless, having Parker on the team is drag on resources, but it would be necessary to recruit CP. If you off the one-and-one, it could be enough to entice him into biting. Maybe something like:

    Paul, Parker, Murray
    Green, McLemore (room), Forbes
    Kawhi, Anderson, Hanga
    Aldridge, Bertans, Ojeleye (first)
    Dedmon, Milutinov, Kuzma (second)

    With two spots open for the two-way contracts.

    I think you could build a contender around that group for sure, especially with a ring-chaser to fill in the shaky wing and center spots. Like maybe Splitter and Carter.

    He'd cost too much for his age (can the Spurs even afford a max deal?) and he is too ball dominant. If he was willing to take a pay cut and adjust his play style a bit he'd be a great signing but I doubt he'd want to do either and I wouldn't blame him. Now George Hill would be a decent option, already familiar with Pop, good shooter, would fit in the offense, can play defense. The 2 issues with him is how much would he want and can he stay healthy.

    If the Spurs got either then they may as well trade Murray because he'll just rot on the bench with Parker taking up backup minutes.

    Chris Paul told Paul Pierce: “You’re not ending your career in Utah”

    If anything, they should grab Re to replace Manu. That guy shooting on the perimeter would open some things up.

    Agreed. But that's only if Manu retires to his native Guatemalan house. I can see Manu playing one more year as a "bench" coach tbh

    I have no desire for the Spurs to sign him considering he will demand a huge max deal that will handicap the spurs cap wise for years to come. Also at his age he's not worth a long term contract. Despite being a great player he rubs teammates the wrong way. To me it speaks volumes that Blake and Deandre hate playing with him considering that he's a pass first pg. A lot of that hate is derived from the fact that he never stops yelling and getting on them 24/7. That type of micromanaging leads to burn out.

    Guys, is more than clear that IF he joins the Spurs won't be on a Max or near Max deal. Stop the nonsense. Ok? Thank you

    I'd like Re but Korver might be more likely. I'd take either tbh
