Forbes, Paul, Jof are extendable. They don't provide enough upside to keep and I rather their place be taken up by the older guys instead.
Paying vets 10mil between them is fine, but having one of them take 16mil is wrong. Manu still has enough to keep playing and Parker hopefully needs a healthy offseason and a full training camp. I just hate this Gasol contract. He has to be the odd one out for us to improve.

I hope the front office is done relying on 6’3 shooting guards and gets a big who can be an enforcer. Needs can be addressed via the draft but rookies take time to fully integrate into the system. I’m also wondering which damaged goods the Spurs are getting this year. Isn’t Derrick Rose on a one-year deal? Would add to the Spurs collection of 6’3 guards nicely.
TX for sharing useful information and tweet.
Intesresting that he would get a lot less if he’s traded than if he just becomes a FA on his own. Didn’t he have a trade kicker? Or no trade clause? I don’t think Pop will do him dirty anyways. It’s in both parties interest to get back together. I didn’t think he’d be traded and now I think that even less. Question is how much he will be back for and whether he will be healthy.
If his quad tendinopathy continues to be severe and chronic, doesn’t matter what you do with the rest of the season bc you will be playing Gay, Danny, Blossomgame or Brandon Paul those minutes anyways and have a do over of this season but worse.

please
Anderson Sucks
Forbes Sucks
Gasol Sucks
Joffrey Sucks
Green a decent defender a ing total loss on offense
Maybe he gets cut. But remember how poor Bryn Forbes looked to us last year. I think they have worked with Paul all season to improve and will give him the same chance they gave Bryn Forbes to make the team again. He's in such a cheap deal that one has to figure he's still in the team for a reason. If he doesn't make the team out of training camp next season then he's cut.
Overall though, you know what I meant, if Kiwi is still injured, you end up with Rudy, if he's back, Danny if he picks up his option which will probably end up being in his best interest, and likely someone from the gleague or the draft pick... any rookie is going to get the same treatment every other rookie has gotten, Kyle, Dijon, White, Forbes all spent their initial season as mostly injury insurance and full time gleague players. Unless that rookie is really, really special he will end up getting the same treatment. For all we know Brandon Paul ends up getting the same opportunities Forbes got all this year.
Hoping that a better draft pick or blossom or someone new is added, but he still may get White/Forbes disparate treatment.
Do you think Mills, Murray and a 1st round pick in 2019 is feasible in a trade for Kemba Walker?
I've got some in the tank of my Pinto so be careful....
We shall see if QO get extended and guys pick up player options.
No one knows how the Leonard situation plays out, but because it's in both sides' best interest to resolve their issues, I continue to think they will. Even if they don't, I'd expect the team to return mostly intact (with the exceptions of Green and Ginobili). Based on last off season, they clearly intended for this to more or less be the team until '19.
They'll probably spin it as follows: they were 2 games out of 3rd (while ignoring their being 1 game out of 9th) essentially without Leonard and haven't gotten to see how this team looks with him. Murray should improve and Gay and Parker will be further removed from significant injuries, meaning they and the team in general can hit the ground running instead of having the rotation in a constant state of flux.
Cut all those bums
Good insight. Appreciate non troll takes.
Tankkkkkk!!!!!
I hope they extend the QO to Bertans. Everyone else can gtfo. I bet some team is going to offer Kyle a lot more than the SA will be willing to pay
I am very afraid you are right. My interest really flagged late this season. I skipped game 5 against the Dubs so I wouldn't miss a minute of a William Holden film festival. If PATFO proceeds as you suggest, I can't imagine that the team will play basketball that is good enough, intelligent enough or exciting enough to maintain my focused interest going forward. I am tired of being spun, too. This season made me weary.
Jof opts in. Bertans accepts qualifying offer. Anderson explores market. Gay opts out to resign longer deal. Green is a coin toss. I think spurs will trade him for cap space and can't guarantee he will go to a team he wants. So he has a lot to discuss with his agent.
The Hornets will likely blow it up, Kemba would be a nice fit, TBH.
The nba talent pool is so high players like jof and forbes are in the league
Kyle started several games this season, seems like a good teammate, plays selflessly, is smart and has the "corporate knowledge" this organization rewards. He obviously has his flaws, but I will be interested to see how far the Spurs go to retain him.
I am sure Spurs want him to stay but they have some other weaknesses to explore with the guards. He will get offered the qualifying and he will shop around, find a deal, and ask spurs to counter or match before he accepts.
All depends on Kawhi, untill we know how Spurs will handle Kawhi headache, difficult to project ourselves.
Some obvious stuff FO will probably do imo no matter what:
- Sign Parker on a vet deal
- Try to sign Manu for a couple of years
- Try to keep Rudy on board
