Spurs 2018 offseason thread

[duncan2150]

At PG, Frazier or Evans probably make the most sense. They should be looking at Reed (possible 3 and D wing) on a two-way though. Suns will trade or waive today.




agree They are good options, i may prefer Lawson if he’s in shape.

Davon reed from phœnix. I don’t know much about him.

You’re welcome

so if we want To add a pg, we need To cut a Guy. Probably pondexter ?

I believe that yes, but even if many of us want wings to compose the roster, I do not see any indication of PATFO looking for this type of player (a mistake imo.), especially with all the injuries in our guards

The San Antonio Spurs have waived the retired Manu Ginobili, finalizing their roster, per league sources. @TheAthleticNBA @WatchStadium

6:12 PM - Oct 15, 2018

[Immortal Spur]

Frazier would be a perfect guy to add. Not threatening for the position long term and also has some talent. Like how Aaron Brooks was 20 years ago...

[Gordy58]

Shaquille Harrison waived by Suns

A long, crazy, bizarre offseason finally ended. Just have a happy NBA day and season!

We still have elite pieces other teams don't, we have Pop, two All-Stars, young talented guys getting better and healthy at some point of this season, the Spurs are fine.

Did I miss an announcement of SA using their second two-way on someone yet? If not, they could be waiting to see who they get in the d-league draft. If you can get a guy in your organization and still keep the two-way in your pocket, I would try that.

Spurs would have won the claim had they put one in. I guess they could have been looking for a two-way, but my guess is they had no interest in Frazier.

Fultz is really expensive for an outside chance to be alright. Those top pick contracts are killer if your player isn't exceptional.

Fuck Cleveland is all ready starting “We getting number one draft”. Almost as bad as the Raiders.

[RC_Drunkford]

if we could somehow get George Hill from them and offload Mills. Only 1 million of those 19 million are guaranteed next season. Would free up cap space and give us a defensive perimeter player who can run point. Bertans, Mills and the Toronto pick for Hill

[NASpurs]

Fuck Cleveland is all ready starting “We getting number one draft”. Almost as bad as the Raiders.

Probably looking to draft the next Anthony Bennett.

[John B]

I don’t like to give up 1st for Hill. He’s just gonna take minutes from White and LW4 when they come back. Spurs need a 3nD. Huestis would be good if he can learn to shoot consistent 3’s.

It's not about that, it's about freeing up cap space for next season. There are so many great 3-and-D options in free agency that it makes sense to get under the cap. Moving Mills and Bertans for Hill would free up 19 million. Waive Gasol and it's 35 million.

So in your plan the Spurs would lose two assets for one, lose a 2019 pick, then cut that only asset we received the following year. After that we would cut Gasol, another asset, and sign some mystery free agent to San Antonio. By far the riskiest move the Spurs would ever make considering the biggest free agent signing ever was probably Aldridge. So who is this free agent you’re willing to risk four assets and a pick for?

Actually it makes more sense to send Mills and Pondexter to Phoenix for Ariza, since they already talk about wanting to move him. It's not 1 free agent. I'd love Middleton. But Demarre Carrol/Danny Green/Ariza/Millsap/Stanley Johnson are all good options. I would try to sign 2 of them and draft an SF. Add Rudy Gay to the mix and you have 4 players who can play SF/PF with a 3-point shot and good defense.

[tbdog]

We can't sign two of them. We might get one of Carroll and Johnson

[RC_Drunkford]

Stanley Johnson is not that expensive. I can give you multiple salary cap scenarios where we wind up with both.

[tbdog]

Johnston should be a restricted FA. So you'll pay numbers close to Kyle Anderson.

The Spurs don’t just give up player unless they have one coming in long term. There’s no reason to trade anyone when you have just as good of a chance of signing two of the players you listed in a buyout situation. Also with Murray out Mills most likely isn’t going to be traded this year.

[RC_Drunkford]

yes that means a part of the MLE should be enough to get him. If we trade for Carroll we got bird rights and can resign him. Or Spurs create cap space and sign him with that

Nets won't take Mills as they are going with cap space for next offseason. Net's won't do with Gasol as he is owed 6mil next season. Best Spurs could offer in January is Bertans, Cunningham, and Poeltl. That might be enough for the Nets to accept if they feel that Bertans and Poeltl will be part of their rotation next season. Carroll is expiring, so I don't see the Spurs giving up two young guys wrapped up for next season for a rental. In short, Spurs won't get Carroll. Plus Carroll is not a true SF anymore. And he stunk last time he played with DD.

The Nets don't need cap space badly enough to avoid Gasol if they're being paid to take him on. They'll have one max slot going away, and they'll need to essentially gut their team to make a second slot. With Kyrie nixing a partnership with Butler, I don't think Brooklyn feels there's any real reason to worry about cap. Marks likely won't take Mills, though. RC_Drunkford has been suggesting trades that I think most of us feel would be very favorable to the Spurs if they were made. I don't think anyone is willing to give pure expirings for Mills, even with the Toronto pick. I also think teams would want something for taking Pau if they aren't giving back more money. But all it takes is one front office (besides PATFO) to feel like one of both of those players still has good value. Maybe such a team is out there, but if they are, they likely have their own share of awful contracts that makes taking on that extra salary tricky.

I'm just trying to figure out how to solve the SF problem going forward, but it's almost impossible to bring in quality 3-and-D wings without moving Mills. Gasol can always be waived and stretched, but they most likely need to free up about 15 million to sign a quality wing and Rudy Gay's cap hold makes that even more difficult

Yeah, I don't think any trades will happen this year. Kind of dawning on me. It's gonna cost a pick to get any deal done and I don't think PATFO would feel the juice is worth the squeeze so to speak. Two firsts are very valuable and with the flexibility, there is no need to pawn picks and lose players. There will be desperate teams at the draft which would give the most value. I'd also like to see what we can do or get with two firsts. Draft could be exciting.

Sad to say but I don't think Mills or Pau is going anywhere. It could get interesting, just probably not this year. Murray is out for the year so that lightens the load. But having Murray, White, Forbes, Mills, and Walker with not enough time on the court, could lead to some changes. I just don't think Patty is going anywhere for awhile actually. He may just become a third stringer which sucks cause of the contract.

If the Spurs can play like they did against the Lakers, they could get by with what they have especially if White and Walker can become contributors. Prolly best for the team in the long run even if it hurts short term.

DeAndre Hunter and Jaylen Hoard.

I think they will move Gasol in the offseason. I just don't see any players out there with a contract around 7 million that would move the needle if we bring them over, so waive and stretch might make sense

[Realdeal1]

[tbdog]

There is a chance Gasol opts out of his last deal and takes a year deal of 8 mil.

[Fusternino]

There is a chance Gasol opts out of his last deal and takes a year deal of 8 mil.

There's no player option. I wonder if it's legal that we waive him and then right after re-sign him for the min? I doubt it. Or at least the next CBA would block it.

[Chinook]

Nah, that's legal as long as they don't stretch him.

Nah, that's legal as long as they don't stretch him.

He would still only make the $6M + min then, as long as we waived him before it became fully guaranteed?

[Chinook]

He would still only make the $6M + min then, as long as we waived him before it became fully guaranteed?

Yes. Theoretically, you'd want to waive him and June and re-sign him later in July after he shops around a bit. Because all the money is being paid in one year, the Spurs can't be accused to circumventing the salary cap, which is why it's against the rules to re-sign a guy you stretch that season. But the NBA would probably feel more comfortable if it didn't seem to be a pre-arranged roster move.

Right, my understanding is that even something like opting out in order to allow the team to shop for FA's (i.e. Gasol summer 2017 situation) is still technically considered tampering but the NBA would never do anything about it.

Yeah, that's like the grayest of gray areas. But you can't have anything binding. Like the Spurs could have left Pau hanging in 2017, but if he pulled out some signed document from them or whatever, they'd've been hit with the Wolves treatment.

A league source said Monday the Sixers hadn't decided if they're going to exercise the $2.03 million third-year team option on his contract. The team likes Korkmaz's scoring ability but is unsure about retaining him. It might try to trade him. A source said Korkmaz wants to be traded over lack of playing time.

Don’t know what the back story is with Chriss, but he’s the exact 3 and D four we need in the starting lineup. And by D I just mean role not exactly ability. If I’m not mistaken he’s a decent shot blocker but I’m not sure how he is mobility wise on the perimeter. But I’d love to see him and Murray play together again. I’m gonna do some research....

I don't see who they would want from the Spurs in a trade considering Johnson is their starting 3. I assume they'll make a run at him in the offseason. He's an RFA and MLE money should be enough to get him. He's only 22 and I guess they think Chip can fix his jumpshot

These former first round picks that don’t have option years picked up become UFAs right? As far as I understand it, they only become RFAs after their fourth year. Teams retain Bird or early Bird rights though?

Non-firsts are different - anytime in first three years similar to the Parsons situation.

As far as I know, your interpretation is correct. It's less clear as to what happens if such a player is waived and then signs a new contract with a team, though. Kendall Marshall was in line for RFA after being waived after one year and signing with LAL, but Jimmer was a UFA after being waived by SAC and signed with CHI. Regardless, the teams retain the right to go over the cap to sign those players, but they cannot sign the player to a contract starting at anything above the value of the option the team turned down.

Harrison waived by Grizzlies. He sucks, but makes sense as something of a Murray replacement and the type who'd pair well with either Forbes or Mills. He's huge, can provide some ball handling/play making, while being able to slide across three positions defensively.

I would be happy with Harrison, at least on a two-way. With the B2Bs starting, Pop is going to want to rest guys. Harrison isn't just depth for Forbes and Mills. He is depth for DeRozan and Beli.

Harrison played well enough against us in the playoffs a couple years back to be on PATFO's radar but I can only see him on a two way. Austin needs a guard and we need one on two way. Makes some sense I guess. I like his game tho.

Why not, every time i saw him he was bad or so-so but he could provide some size and maybe some D plus he's a capable playmaker.

Harrison looked good to Spurs fans because we got to see him go against Mills.

Some people here have been trying to trade for Chandler since the beginning of time

Chandler would have been an interesting player around the deadline if the Spurs moved Gasol/Poeltl in a deal for a star. He didn't seem to have a lot left in the tank last game, so he's not a huge loss. Still would have been nice to have the option if the team can find a good deal later in the year.

doesn't really do anything to move the needle with LA imo. Javale probably is a better player at this point in time. Chandler probably won't make the same bonehead plays McGee makes though. He only made sense for us tho if we moved Pau or Poeltl. I hope we intend to stay with a small ball four and move away from the traditional two big lineups.

This. Pau is our TOSB Chandler.
