No doubt WB was. He knows the deal

[spurs10]

True. How about an NBA Championship and Finals MVP? Or as those trash too.
Not trash, but also transparently taking the easiest and least competitive route possible to each. I think the NBA was trying to rehabilitate his image which was tainted when he joined the most dominant team in basketball. It is what it is.

That being said I'm no fan of his or GSW. 'How the hell did Brady not win' that ESPY was dead-on. :toast

The only thing he has for sure is a QO. The 9 million was a rumor from the press and it might be the max the Spurs are willing to give him if he can find an offer for them to match. We don't really know.

I believe I saw Sham with that story. Followed him for a while, he's one of the few who gets it right more often than not.

Simms ain't a star player, so I expected him to have to wait it out. Confident the Spurs want him, gave him a legit offer and that they fully understand he needs to get the most he can out of this contract.

I've had plenty of disagreements with Pop and the Spurs over decisions on the court, but I also know they try to do right by the players when it comes to their careers on and off the court.

he had a pretty solid season in Turkey, but why the fuck do we need another guard?!

we are obviously not going to have this many guards on the team when the season comes. every summer we sign players that wind up becoming distant memories so not really concerned. best to wait until october before making any sort of judgments.

Blossomgame? I know there was a report that he got a 2-way, but I think JMac disputed that.

Yeah, but I don't think he's locking down a contract anymore than Paul is. I was just pointing out that SA doesn't really have too many guards. They use the last spot on a big, and they're fine.

[Dex]

Spurs going for three point shooters big time

Guard influx aside, I'm okay with this. Spurs were woefully short of shooters to surround Kawhi with last year.

When Pau and Aldridge are two of the most reliable three point shooters you have, something is wrong. :lol

[picnroll]

Paul 6' 10 3/4 wingspan.

i think this means one of Manu or Simmons won't be back.

incoming Manu decision... or maybe the Spurs have had enough with Simmons and his contract talks.

I think it is calculated to at least put some pressure on Simmons.

[raybies]

not sure if it's just a training camp deal though. in which case I would feel silly

[Chinook]

I don't mind the number of PGs. The Spurs are trying to solve a problem, and one of the keys to doing that is to not assume you have a solution. It reminds me of the wing search from 2009-2012. Took them forever to find Green and then Leonard to fill those spots. If Paul outplays Murray and the others, then that is fine. Better than appointing Dejounte without competition.

[ducks]

maybe they have seen enough of someone they think they need to go to Austin for a year and hope paul is ok

[Chinook]

not sure if it's just a training camp deal though. in which case I would feel silly

I wouldn't be surprised if it is a camp deal. The only issue is that there's a new rule preventing teams from guaranteeing more than $50k to guys they want to play primarily for their d-league teams. That includes affiliate and two-way guys. So if the Spurs give him more than that (and he's probably warranted more), then it would signify they truly believe he could be on their roster.

[ducks]

wow he looks good

Yeah he has a good looking game, I'm actually excited about him being on the roster. It seems like he can score from all over the court.

[raybies]

he's definitely a better shooter than Simmons, quicker release and better form. I like that he plays in the pick and roll too. Simmons would play the pick for a drive or a pull up midrange, this guy looks more versatile. He could stretch it to the three.

[raybies]

no doubt. He may not have Simmons athleticism and I still don't know how he defensively but he looks better offensively for sure. More polished.

This likely means he has a deal but that team was afraid to give him an offer sheet. We've seen it with Neal and Cory recently.

That person was an idiot, though. First, the Spurs can give him the same contract they could before. Second, they are going to use the MLE on Gay. Nothing is afoot.

[Pavlov]

rescind≠renounce

[duncan2150]

I don't understand everything this offseason but the addition of another guard with paul may show us that gay will play PF, we still need a big but if gay play PF you have gay kyle or bertans ( i'm not a fan of both) lauvergne, gasol and aldridge inside.

It came from Jabari so I would take it with a ton of salt:

885552208485523458


After talks on a new contract stalled, a sign-and-trade with the Phoenix Suns was presented. The deal featured the Spurs getting center Tyson Chandler in exchange for Simmons, but at the last minute, the Spurs backed out of the trade, not wanting to take on the remaining two years and roughly $26 million on Chandler’s deal.

According to league sources, Simmons’ representatives then spoke with Spurs officials late Wednesday in Las Vegas, where it was requested he become an unrestricted free agent. The team granted the request Thursday morning, the last day teams can pull qualifying offers.

[BatManu20]

Interesting.

Now that certainly is interesting, though not unexpected. The Chandler trade would be fine (and can still be done), but I guess the team wants another shot at free agency next summer.

I kind of like the idea. But would also love to havING one more rim protector.

It's going to be pretty funny if Hanga is gone, Manu retires, and one of the last teams with space signs Simmons to a deal the Spurs don't match on.

2/3 of the way there!

I mean, they cut him loose because they couldn't agree on a deal.. they tried. So it's essentially the same thing. Simmons' camp just wants more then we're willing to offer, and I'm okay with that. This is likely Simmons' last chance at a big contract and he should go where the money is. Sucks to lose him, but it is what it is. I wish him the best next season, and hopefully Paul can bring something similar to the table.

Other than that :corn:

[kaji157]

This is pretty much a fuck you Simmons, if he had trouble finding offers he likes considering other teams needed to make an offer that the spurs won't match, now his leverage to negotiate with other teams is even worse.

There will be no deal he signs that they should not have matched on. Even if Philly gives him a max, it would have been Arenas Max.

In a summer where they should have gotten bigger and more athletic 1-3 and smallball 4 they have regressed in a big way. In a staggering way.

Too many emotional/fickle posters on here tbh talking out both sides of their mouths

[Mnky]

Not sure what spurfan wanted. The spurs starting unit regularly outplayed the GSW starting unit. The issue was bench scoring or lack there of.

Spurs signed guards who can score, get to rhe basket, shoot and run. All have length and decent size for guards as well. Half the leagues guards are 6'5 and under, contrary to popular belief.

If they just find a couple guys who can score off the bench, the spurs close the gap in a big way against the warriors.

White, Paul, Rudy can all score on their own. Can all assist, all rebound and have a three point shot. Whatever pop decided with rudy, the scoring will be much better on paper. All these guards can get their shot off at the nba level too.

GSW second unit was filled with small guys, who run and score. They didn't play much defense. Spurs adding firepower to compete with that. Seems logical.

And last but not least, the back up pf/c we got from France is much more skilled than dedmon. Dedmon had pretty much no skill outside jumping high.

Spurs have had a good off-season. And look to be prime contenders for next year's free agent bonanza.

GSW second unit was filled with small guys, who run and score. They didn't play much defense. Spurs adding firepower to compete with that. Seems logical.

And last but not least, the back up pf/c we got from France is much more skilled than dedmon. Dedmon had pretty much no skill outside jumping high.

Spurs have had a good off-season. And look to be prime contenders for next year's free agent bonanza.

Good Post..

[bic50]

Not sure what spurfan wanted. The spurs starting unit regularly outplayed the GSW starting unit. The issue was bench scoring or lack there of.

Spurs signed guards who can score, get to rhe basket, shoot and run. All have length and decent size for guards as well. Half the leagues guards are 6'5 and under, contrary to popular belief.

Who will be free agents next year?

[Mnky]

Who will be free agents next year?

I beliebe off the top of my head to name a few Paul George, westrbook, CP3, LeBron, Cousins..

LeBron and cousins being the bigger gets.

Spurs can easily clear up two max cap spaces of applicable, to play next to kawhi.

If he can shoot like that for real, why isn't anyone signing him?

The league never fails. The owners get flush with cash then spend most of it on shitty players they're struck with for ages. They'll complain during the next CBA for summertime to save them from themselves and it never works.

Wasn't Steve Kerr the GM in Phoenix when Diaw was there. I do actually think Kerr is a fan of his.

[MaNu4Tres]

Warriors have no space for him.

Draymond/West/ Casspi (hybrid) / Looney
Zaza/ Bell/ Jones

He'd be the 8th Big.

Makes no sense for mentally retired Boris to play over Bell, Jones, Casspi or Looney.

Raptors make some sense.

Kerr was the one that traded him to the bobcats

Oh, I just remember Kerr saying some nice things about him. I think I recall him telling Draymond Green before the 2015 season that he wanted him to play like Phoenix Diaw. Don't quote me on that, though. Obviously if Kerr traded him then he must of gotten sick of his passiveness and laziness, but I'm pretty sure he was a fan of Diaw's at various points in his career (early on in Phoenix, 2014 Spurs Diaw).

2014 Spurs version of Diaw was incredible. I can't believe that he threw it all away after finally putting it together.

You wanting to compare the Spurs to the Blazers says a lot tbh. Already shows how much this team has declined.

Can't compare them to other contenders like the Warriors, Rockets, Cavs, or Celtics, because their Front Offices are lightyears ahead. Their off-season was so much better than the Spurs' that it's comical at this point.

Totally agree. But tbh I felt there were too many questions and moving parts for him to come to SA over Hou..

I assume also Houston sold him on the possibility of adding another friend in Melo..

Probably true, but reality is, if he wanted to come badly enough, he'd have came . . . playing high-school was the priority though.

It won't happen, but I'd laugh if they have a disappointing season, he's uncomfortable basically being a co-PG and he's either open to coming or wants to use Spurs for leverage again. I wouldn't even take the call and I'm not sure why Pop continues with this phony buddy-buddy routine with a lot of these superstars. They show him what they truly think of him and the culture with their actions.

He obviously wanted to go the team that could give him the most money. All of us know it. But it's politically incorrect for an athlete to ever admit it was about the money :lol

[ace3g]

Still boggles my mind that we don't have either Simmons or Hanga on the roster now. We need players that can guard multiple positions, especially SGs and SFs.

[Ocotillo]

Is Hanga no longer a possibility? I have not kept up near what I used to and got the impression from the board it was a no brainer he was coming this year but it sounds like he is staying in Europe in which case, he probably will never come. Another Viktor Sandkidze.

[99 Problems]

Hanga now waiting in transit lounge, train for Barcelona leaves in 15. RC trying to get phone reception.

Just when I think it can't get any worse...Parker wants to be GM after his retirement in 3-4 years.

For those who were worried about PATFO continuity, about who would replace Pop/RC... :lol

And while NBA point guards typically make good head coaches, he would rather be an NBA GM once he unlaces his sneakers for good.

“The best thing was to be in the office every day during the (2011 NBA) lockout and see the everyday operations,” Parker told The Undefeated. “I looked at everything. How to manage a team, marketing, ticket sales, sponsors. It was a great learning experience for me. It’s getting me ready to work in an NBA front office.”

If Parker gets his wish, the soon-to-be 34-year-old — raised in France but grew to love basketball during summer trips to his father’s hometown of Chicago — will retire from the Spurs with 20 years of NBA playing experience at age 38 and head into management.

“The best thing was to be in the office every day during the (2011 NBA) lockout and see the everyday operations,” Parker told The Undefeated. “I looked at everything. How to manage a team, marketing, ticket sales, sponsors. It was a great learning experience for me. It’s getting me ready to work in an NBA front office.”

If Parker gets his wish, the soon-to-be 34-year-old — raised in France but grew to love basketball during summer trips to his father’s hometown of Chicago — will retire from the Spurs with 20 years of NBA playing experience at age 38 and head into management.

JaMychal Green (http://www.spotrac.com/redirect/player/11666/)

Tony Allen can't shoot and be exploited come playoff time.

JaMychal Green will likely also want a big payoff.

Boris Diaw if he's going to get paid veteran minimum. Bring the 2014 gang back together!

I think PATFO will unload both Aldridge and Murray. It's in the cards, both players can't shoot!

BTW, do you realize that Pau is not in your list. Meaning that likely all slots are filled or Paul is on a two-way contract.

Given all the young players in this team, Spurs are not likely to leave the 15th spot open. That will be filled by a veteran big.

[MaNu4Tres]

That Patty deal was so damn terrible.

Rose & Rondo are still unsigned...

yeah this seems like BS. Makes no sense only if Irving wants out and is forcing a trade to Spurs. I would guess if it say happened Murray/LMA for Kyrie Irving. I would guess the Cavs would than sign Derrick Rose.

Yes 17 spots but two way players can only play in up to 45 games and are not eligible for the postseason unless they are offered a regular nba contract.

[NickiRasgo]

Is Muscala still available?

Edit: Nevermind. Still with the Hawks.

[spurs10]

That guard rotation makes me think Manu's already signed his new contract and it just hasn't been announced. Hope you are right. We need his leadership with all the young guys.

[Mr. Body]

That's a pretty good fit. There's a chance now Cousins and Davis might actually be good together.

[coachmac87]

So Holiday playing at the 2?

[picnroll]

Rondo and Cousins were big buddies in Sacramento.

[DPG21920]

I would rather have Mills than Rondo or Rose IMO.

But man, Pau is a really patient dude. Obviously him and SA have a deal worked out because there is basically no FA money left for him outside of SA :lol. But I'm sure he would probably rather have his deal locked up but I guess the Manu news is really holding this up because SA has an apron to be concerned about.

[raybies]

Well, monetarily speaking, it'd be a good year for him to come back... there's definitely extra space for him now.

Imo if Gino comes back and with Pau return, we would probably cut a player in order to have another big. I don't think we can go with Pau, Lamarcus and Lauvergne as real bigs.
That will be more simple if Gino retires.

So add Pau to this and you have the active roster until Jan/Feb when Tp returns barring any trades. That leaves room for TP being DNP - Injured and one other player to be signed as well (maybe Manu but who knows, I think they may go big if Manu retires)

I was a little freaked at reading comments about how the Spurs should just cut Pau loose now, and sign someone else. After getting him to opt out, and promising him a re-structured deal, there is zero chance that the Spurs will fail to make him whole. I know the "Spurs Way" is shit, and nobody wants to come play here. But I guess it's enough to convince a guy to take a $16M IOU.

:lol Exactly. Plenty of guys would love (and do love) to play for SA. But ya, SA can't cut ties with Pau now. Not this late in FA when he opted out and it appears it was a handshake deal.

If Pau did that on his own, maybe, but the fact he's not even appearing to take any FA meetings when he would be sought after (especially with his 3PT explosion) shows it was between him and SA

I am not sure if Kyle Anderson will continue with the team.
I really see no minutes for him now with a player like Rudy Gay that will end up eating 30-35 minutes a game.
Check this.

Green 30
Brandon Paul 10
Kawhi 35
Gay 30
Lma 32
Bertans 10
Lauvergne 10

That's 20 min left for 3 players plus Tony coming back, and the sf spot is the loadest of them all with Kawhi and Gay.
