Pau Gasol on the block? (https://hoopshype.com/rumor/pau-gasol-on-the-block/)https://usathoopshype.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/i_58_5c_31_pau-gasol.png?w=190If the Spurs are considering Spellman, the move does make sense. Pau Gasol will turn 38 next month, and some around the NBA anticipate he’ll be mentioned in trade talks this offseason (https://www.expressnews.com/spurs-nation/article/Spurs-target-Villanova-s-Spellman-others-for-12994749.php). Though Gasol is still efficient, his scoring production did decline in his second season with the Spurs. Gasol averaged 10.1 points and 8.0 rebounds in 77 games. He’s scheduled to make $16 million next season, the second of a three-year, $48 million deal he signed last summer.

I would be curious to understand what legal recourse the team has if they opt to keep Leonard this year and he insists on sitting out again.
If the offers at the draft suck, I can see the spurs trying to wait it out, take the gamble that Leonard will makes another all team, and then still be the only team to have the super max to offer.

The more I think about it, the more I believe it is time to end the Kawhi era. When are we ever going to have the chance to rebuild so quickly without having to go into dark ages 2.0? Ship Kawhi to either PHX/SAC/ATL. Trade LA for another pic, and all the while still have our 18th pick. That's fucking insane if that were to happen. I can dream I guess..

Mills, Walker, Manu, Lauvergne, Metu.
White, Paul
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Seems correct to me, somewhere I read rumors that Lauvergne plans to opt out and play in Europe next season. But, I don't think he was yet. I would like to see Bertans back, but not Bryn, and of course would love to see Rudy signing long term with us.
Also, Jabari wrote an article where he claimed that Pau might be on the trading block, and since we kept our drafts picks, I am not sure how we trade him.
BackHome
06-22-2018, 10:26 AM
I know we got all this Kawhi drama but I still hope we try to move on from certain players:
1. Joffrey he said he is opting out to go back to Europe
2. Forbes thanks but say hello to Walker
3. Tony it’s Time little buddy
4. Gasol as mentioned his contract is good to make a good trade
5. Anderson and Bertans not sold on either one though I still think Pop is not using Bertans correctly
I want Manu one more year but as a backup he will greatly help Walker and Metu and is a great leader
Bring Over:
1. Nikola need to bring him over he is good and fits well with our team
2. Hanga maybe would like to see him actually try out and see what he can bring
Two way contract;
1. Get rid of Paul keep Darrun Hillard
2. Livio yes he sucked early but give him props for not quitting he looked like a different player this past year for the Toros
3. Up for grabs but not sold at all on Blossom
I'm really not seeing how manu could be retained but not Parker. That would be too big a disrepect if Tony feels healthy enough to play 3rd pg.
BackHome
06-22-2018, 04:42 PM
Yeah but we traded Sean ****** so I think we can retire Tony. The biggest difference is that you can tell Tony is done just doesn’t have the speed anymore while if u keep Manu 10 minutes a game he can still be a productive player. Also our young PG need playing time Murray and White they need major minutes no playing time restrictions.

I might take Bryn back if he were to sign a very reasonable contract. But am excited for Lonnie Walker and I hope he gets a lot of minutes, but it's got to start at the Summer League, let's see how he does first and then debate how much he plays.
Am glad Joffrey is leaving and I hope Pau gets traded, somehow.
Also, I hope Manu and Tony return. Tony the vet's minimum and Manu to mentor Lonnie.
But above all, I want Rudy Gay back in a multi-year contract. That guy can play.
And of course, I want Kawhi.
No Davis please, and I was happy to hear we are bringing Kyle back. And that Derrick White will be getting his minutes this year.

Hanga, it's over move on. With Nicola, that would mean way to many new faces and if I had to guess since he makes millions in Europe, I don't think he wants to play in G-League. Same reason Joffrey wants to play in Europe and but stronger. So again, with Derrick White, Lonnie Walker and possiply a free agenst or two or a summer league standout why you want to bring more new guys to the team.

Yeah. Hanga is old already. Not to mention he sucks.
BackHome
06-23-2018, 08:46 AM
I want to bring Nikolai because I am tired of watching OLD Gasol get destroyed by SG down low the dude is done. So we have him one more year in that year he can help Nikola adjust to US game and it takes big guys more time to develop and Nikola is a true center so please don’t say we have Metu
As far as Hanga I just want to bring him over to have a look if he doesn’t stand out then don’t sign him. But he still better then Kawhi who still can’t wipe his own ass.
objective
06-23-2018, 12:00 PM
Hanga had knee surgery, he won't be available until the start of camp.
There is some allure to him despite his age. There's nobody out there as a SF that stands out who can be signed for the MLE, and if they want to sign Milutinov then probably nobody who would sign for whatever mle was left over. And who would sign with Kawhi and his situation hanging over things. If Kawhi and the Spurs make up, that free agent's playing time goes to zero.
But I could see a scenario where Milutinov and Hanga could both be had together for the MLE, maybe even with enough room to give a three year minimum to Metu.

I might be in denial but I am assuming like you that Kawhi will be back. If he isn't back, I'll go through a period of adjustment and probably some mourning, but I have consistently heard RC and the Spurs say he's not up for trade and that they would rather keep him. If I am in denial, the Spurs FO is encouraging it.
I am still concerned about his injury and the precedent established this aeason, but I really don't care if he doesn't have a leadership personality for example.

There is two very talented players in the league that I think would become the best versions of themselves and reach their max potential if they played for Pop. One is Russell Westbrook and the other IMO DeMarcus Cousins. I think if both of these guys, if they played for Pop and were willing to listen and be coached by him, I think would take their games to their max levels IMO.

before the injury Cousins was the best bigmen of the season, he and Davis were starting to create chemistry, if he returns without sequels, he and Davis are going to destroy some teams next season (although I'm sure some people in st prefer Pau Gasol)

You hooked me with DeMarcus. I want him as I think he'd be a perfect small ball killer.
There is two very talented players in the league that I think would become the best versions of themselves and reach their max potential if they played for Pop. One is Russell Westbrook and the other IMO DeMarcus Cousins. I think if both of these guys, if they played for Pop and were willing to listen and be coached by him, I think would take their games to their max levels IMO.

Cousins tore his Achilles, he's never going to be the same player again..he might still be All-Star caliber, since the repair of the Achilles has progressed lately, but he's undoubtedly going to take a hit to his ability..
Taking a cancerous player and removing a percentage of his ability is a bad combination..

San Antonio Spurs: Tony Parker
The San Antonio Spurs reportedly have their sights set on LeBron James, according to Marc Stein (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/08/sports/lebron-james-free-agency.html) of the New York Times.
"I've also been advised that the ever-persuasive San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is bound to try to force his way into the conversation to sell James on the merits of South Texas," Stein reported in early June.
How the mechanics of that would work is another question, though it is possible the Spurs could move some salaries (Pau Gasol (http://bleacherreport.com/pau-gasol) and either Danny Green or Patty Mills would make it work).
If the Spurs are not able to force the stars to align, they'll probably try to retain Tony Parker.
Parker is no longer the threat he once was, as he averaged 7.7 points and 3.5 assists per game last year. He doesn't have the same speed. But he does still have four rings with San Antonio and the experience that comes with them. David Robinson retired a Spur. Tim Duncan retired a Spur. Manu Ginobili will retire a Spur (if he finally retires). There's a pattern here. The Spurs keep their greats. It would be a shock to see Parker wearing a different uniform.
LOL. This seems like the worst take you could possibly make. Tony Parker is our top FA target? Sports journalists have gotten lazy.

Pop is only "god" because he has the backing of his franchise and also the "Big 3". The magical part is that you have to get rid of your selfish mentality to play for the Spurs. Most other franchises don't do this actually it is the opposite, they feed the selfishness and marketability of the "star" player so that they can retain them and sell tickets. I have always respected the Spurs history of this. To me it all started when David Robinson completely let Tim Duncan be the star on the court while he concentrated on the dirty work for the sake of winning championships. Most all stars in today's NBA would hugely benefit from this no nonsense coaching. Too bad our society promotes stats and being selfish with bigger and fatter contracts. Spurs will always have an uphill battle with free agents but I respect their strategy in this regard.

Kawhi is our first domino. If we end up trading him we likely will have 3-4 new players with guaranteed contracts on the books. If we end up saying no to all offers, we stand pat and wait until next FA period to let Kawhi walk (or re-sign him if a miracle happens) or trade deadline to pursue new Kawhi trade offers

Ariza had been salary-dumped the year before and then got salary-dumped the next year, so it seemed like a good trade with Matt's deal being non-guaranteed. The only thing that looks bad in retrospect is that SA didn't need a small-forward like I thought they did. It was a great idea for SA and more than WSH ended up getting when they did deal him.

So they legit didn't like Costello? Thought he should have been a full roster guy myself.
hmmm maybe Joff is not going to play in Europe after all... I haven't seen him decline that option yet.

I also wonder if he will get a training camp invite and compete for a roster spot with someone new, like possibly Metu...

Remember that PO have to be exercised. The default is that they expire. Players don't actually opt out. They just announce that they won't opt in

The San Antonio Spurs have tendered qualifying offers to the following players, making all them of restricted free agents: Kyle Anderson, Davis Bertans, Bryan Forbes and two-way player Darrun Hilliard. The Spurs can now match any offer sheets they sign.
Forbes?
Great, now Pop will gift him minutes over both White and Lonnie

Hoping it's more like a Gary Neal thing where they have zero intention to keep him but just want to see if they can get some value for him. I really don't anticipate the team re-upping him unless one of Tony or Manu retire. Even then, they might decide to go with Hanlan if they need cheap depth.

Spurs probably trying to get in line with that MLE. Can't and shouldn't offer more.
Would rather Spurs go hard after Rudy by offering a 4 year deal at that price since we have no more cap room. That or trade Green and Gasol to free up some cap space.

I also think that's a possibility, though I'd hope the agent waits a bit to look for a longer deal or better opportunity.

Seems to me that Pop really likes HIlliard.
I also think the team needs shooters so aggressively that Forbes getting picked up isn't an accident. If any of the designated "shooters" get hurt, they need someone, Forbes can at least shoot. I just don't know what the Spurs are going to do with so many guards though. I speculate that Manu is retiring, but we don't know for sure. I can't imagine Tony feels secure in getting picked up again and thus he's made statements that he's open to change teams. Think Forbes as deep bench (non rotation guy) on a min deal is fine.
Brandon Paul tho... maybe he will get replaced with Hilliard... didn't the Spurs have to pick up his deal too?

Yeah, that's the only real difference between POs and ETOs now. POs by default opt into the extra year going away. ETOs default into the contract continuing.

Paul is non-guaranteed until August 1. So SA probably won't do anything with him right away. I'd also hope they wouldn't keep Forbes for that role. If they need shooters, they need to go out and get good ones. Bryn has been a negative on the floor to the point where he has to be liquid-metal hot for him to make an impact. He just hasn't been that guy in the NBA.

I assume he needs to make the team again or something.
I haven't really speculated on the roster composition but just assume that if they pick up Hilliard they won't pick up B.Paul but they might just let these two duke it out in training camp. (Speculation).
