Spurs front office need to build a contender over the next 5 years while Leonard is a stud. Do they make a lot of moves this off season to continue the title contention? Or do they hold sail for the 2018 season, which appeared the most likely outcome prior to this season with the expiring contracts of Parker and Gasol, plus the opt renegotiation with LMA deal?
The Power Forward position is not a position of need, with 20mil a year LMA, and 2 backup PF's in Bertans and Anderson, who both should only play the 4, you would think the Spurs would stand pat here or resign Lee. As for Lee, I liked the signing. He gave what he does, hustle, leadership, finishing and heart. It is just a shame he does not fit well with Gasol, Bertans, and Dedmon. Because of that and only because of that, I think the Spurs should let him go unless Gasol is moved. On the plus side, there are some really interesting names, both for future development and now.
Top Range - 20mil+ to max contracts
Griffin
Millsap
Ibaka
Martin Luther King said 'I had a dream,' and so did I when Chris Paul and Griffin knocked on Pop's door and said that they were sick of the arrogant Warriors and are will to join the Spurs 10mil each to fuck them up. But it was just a dream. We all want LMA to be like Millsap, but Millsap will cost 10 mil more by the end of the contract, and the undersized powerful technically shouldn't have a longer career than LMA. Ibaka is IMO an overrated player and is probably older than Andre Miller.
Outcome: Not happening folks, only in dreams.
Midrange - 8 to 16 mil contracts
Illyasova
Randolph
Gibson
Mirotic
Amir Johnson
Patterson
Jamycal Green
Jerebko
Some interesting names here. Jerebko could fit along side any of our bigs. My favourite here is Gibson, excellent defender who could play alongside Gasol and LMA and Bertans for good measure, but it will cost around the 15mil mark for him. Likewise for Amir Johnson who should come cheaper.
Outcome: Highly unlikely. When you are paying your starting PF 20mil, you cannot afford to spend mid money for backups. Perhaps if Gasol was not around it would be another story and sign a starting PF with LMA going to center.
Veterans and the raw - Min to low dollar contracts
Motiejunas
Lavoy Allen
McAdoo
Alan Williams
Humphries
Terrence Jones
Scola
Payne
Mike Scott
Nick Collinson
Diaw
James Johnson
Reed
There was a strange link involving the defensiveless DMO recently which I find odd. There some good names here that can be had for cheap and are fairly young for the future. I like Alan Williams here as a hustling power forward. I also love Reed here and would be a better option going forward. T Jones is always an odd one to know what your going to get. Diaw always has a home in SA despite we really should be going younger. Payne and Scott just seem like another Ayres sighting. Talking about Jeff Pendergraph........... no let's not.
Outcome: Very likely. On the grounds Lee goes, Spurs could easily acquire a PF in this list. My issue is that Pop will settle for someone like Humphries or DMO, and that make me unwell as we should look for younger and hungry players.
Trade targets
Faried - 13mil
Arthur - 7mil
Larry Nance - 1mil
Dieng - 14mil
Holmes - 1mil
Chris - 4mil
Bender -3mil
Aminu - 7mil
Some interesting names here and it all depends what way the Spurs will go. I love Arthur in the Spurs and for the money, a semi vet with still youth, midrange, and excellent pick n role D. Perhaps Spurs could get him and Barton involving Green? I also like Nance here and if the Spurs look to trade for Clarkson I would try and nab him as well. Same with Holmes and my Covington trade idea.
Outcome: Unsure but unlikely. The are some decent names in the min list that Spurs will probably get instead which is a shame because there are some good names here. If the spurs look to trade for a guard, I hope they try and grab one of these names on the list as well.
