Spurs 2018 offseason thread

[DPG21920]

Two former players signing today shows the organization in a great light :bobo

I think this is a really good point in the context of what is going on and the slander from people due to Kawhi. Danny stayed. Rudy came back and spoke glowingly of SA. Beli came back. Whether we like the moves aside, it shows a lot that players who were here/around chose to stay/comeback.

They all know its a business and trades happen but Kawhi is the only one actually bailing.

[sasaint]

Precisely my point good Sir....

I like him. Not sure why he gets so much hate on ST.

[sasaint]

l would love to see the Spurs give him a shot. He has been huge defensively and shoots 45% from 3.

Totally fell off my radar. Prolly looking for more security than a SL contract...?

[BillMc]

Dwight is likely going to be bought out. Would you go there? For the min? For the remainder of the mid-level? (If I understand it right).

[barbacoataco]

I think this team is better than we think. They will either:
A. Have Leonard back, disgruntled but with something to prove. I can't believe he would sit out two years in a row. So if they don't trade him he will play, and who knows maybe he'll be awesome.
B. Trade Leonard and get some quality pieces in return. They aren't going to give him away.

Either way they won't be the "same team" as last year. They will have Leonard back or whatever they get for him. And without him they were still a playoff team. I think Aldridge will be about the same player. His game will hold up well with age because he doesn't rely on quickness anyway. Murray is one year older. Gay will be healthy to start.

I'm not saying we can beat the Warriors, but no one can. I see some reason to be optimistic.

According to Eurohoops sources, Ryan Broekhoff has interest from the NBA, and especially the Brooklyn Nets (http://www.eurohoops.net/basket/brooklyn-nets/?lang=en&lang=en), but also could stay in Europe and play for Khimki Moscow Region.
If he decides to move to Moscow and play for Khimki he will sign a two-year deal, but the NBA is also an option. Broekhoff will wait a couple of days to make his decision and see if he can actually find a contract in the NBA.

What’s interesting about this deal is San Antonio’s backcourt is seemingly overstuffed; Danny Green will be back, and though he’s not quite the shooter he once was, he will still see a lot of minutes on the wing. The Spurs will also have to find time for Patty Mills, rookie Lonnie Walker, and the up-and-coming Dejounte Murray. Oh, and we haven’t discussed Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili yet. It’s possible Ginobili retires and San Antonio lets Parker walk. But even if all are in the fold, you can never have too much shooting at a bargain price.

LeBron is a 10+ years vet, thus eligible for a bigger % of the cap. George could get more after 2 years.

No cap space at all. Only trades are possible right now and hope that Kyle and Davis sign back.

[rjv]

They needed shooting but from the forwards spots. Walker and White can already shoot, and either Danny needs to be traded or he'll be shooting. Beli seems like a Bertans replacement more than anything, but Manu may well be retiring.

i never saw white shoot off screens or move without the ball the way belli does and i doubt that would be the role for walker.

[rjv]

don't know why ST fans were hoping for such massive cap space this season? for who? what player could the spurs have signed that would have put the team into the finals? i never expected any major additions this summer through free agency.

I don’t speak for everyone but there is a ton of opportunity for teams with cap space to get a lot of draft picks by taking on bad deals (Faried, Deng, etc..). If you are willing to sacrifice a year or so when you will be bad anyways, you can really cash in with cap space.

at this point, i don't want the lakers picks nor do i want even the nuggets future picks because these are not going to be lottery picks. the lakers picks would be in the low to mid 20s at this point. the spurs are better off just getting the space next summer through expiring contracts. of course, the spurs can't screw it up by offering parker anything more than the minimum and certainly not giving him and multi-year deal. i'm also keeping my fingers crossed that the spurs don't do anything stupid in regards to bertans, forbes and KA.

[mo7888]

They can stretch him and he will count 6M a year over 3 years or if they want him completely off the books a future first round pick or a player (Kuzma).

In that case, I see a three courses of actions I would explore. One way is to completely tear it down and actually take Deng off of their hands if they add more compensation to the deal. The second way is to trade Gasol to open up cap space and sign Randle to a $15-$18M per year deal for 3 or 4 years and force them to give him up for nothing or tie up more cap space for next summer. Lastly, I would look at simply improving the team by going after a guy like Bradly Beal to pair with Kawhi, using Aldridge as the center piece of an offer with Washington, and offer Kawhi max money and dare him to walk away.

I know it can be nit-picked but, my point isn't about getting Beal necessarily, I just think we have more options than simply dumping him for a low offer and that there some strategic ways to approach this that give us a chance to get better or to cause some difficult decisions for the Lakers. I still think we have cards that we can play if we choose to..

My guess is that the Spurs are waiting to see what happens with their other RFA (the team has a lot of guards and very few forwards) first before acquiescing. Or he could legit leave if he finds a team that gives him what he seeks.

Apparently not as dumb as you are. Number of finals played without any help doesn’t go on the league annals. He’s going to be remembered for not being able to carry a team to a championship, the number of finals matchups he lost, and the empty stats he put up. Karl Malone was good, kept losing to the Bulls, and stayed with one team until he headed to LA but isn’t as celebrated as Jordan, arguably the GOAT. Kobe put up a lot of empty stats but you can’t argue against his five championships, even if those had asterisks. A championship validates a great player’s legacy. You play a sport to win, not to languish on a team just because the same team drafted you. Loyalty is overrated but winning will never be.

Your point was he could be the greatest of all time had he stayed in one team and accomplished zero championships. He won in Miami, won one in Cleveland. The move away from Cleveland bore fruit. Your measure of greatness is sticking to one team and getting nothing. You’ve proven nothing by giving hypotheticals, especially in the field of sports, where success is more often than not measured by wins.

I didn’t say base it on rings, I said base it on wins as the most substantial contributor to your team’s success. This is so retarded but what did I expect from you. Of all people. Harlem said there are people who take a lot of money instead of prioritizing winning. Now here’s a guy who prioritizes winning and is willing to take a pay cut (Cousins). So which is it? You gave a hypothetical situation which never happened and the results of which we don’t know to prop up a lame conclusion. But hey maybe John Stockton really is the GOAT. Fits your criteria perfectly. :lol

He's restricted so they're just going to match his highest offer. Looks like the market may not have been that strong for him in a non D'Antoni system.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

I wonder what the hold up is with Capela? I thought this was like a no-brainer for HOU and that he earned his max pay day?

There's no team with $ available to give him the max so he's losing leverage and Houston are probably lowballing him hard.

[Spurs da champs]

I'm surprised Dallas didn't try and hamstring Houston with a huge contract offer (plus Capela is much younger and more impactful than DJ) but they've been desperate for DeAndre Jordan forever now.:lol

[DPG21920]

HOU is in a crazy tough spot lol. Let’s say Clint take his qualifying offer so he can leave HOU next year.

If HOU renounces all of their cap holds next year, Clint is gone and they trade BOTH Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon while taking no money back, they would have Harden, CP3, Tucker and Nene and only 11M in cap space :wow

I would imagine HOU understands the dire situation here and that they will not leverage Clint too much. I mean, they probably know they can’t get anyone as good for 11M basically so they will work something out. But If Clint gets anything more than 11M then HOU, with just CP/Harden/Clint/Tucker would have no cap space even if they got rid of every other player on their roster.

[DPG21920]

Also, regarding SA’s RFA’s the market is drying up fast. Getting to keep Kyle/Bertans for one more year at sub-TaxMLE/around that amount is a good thing :tu

I dont think they take longer term deals at that price, but SA should be able to keep them for their QO’s or really close.

They're about 17 mil below the tax, if they could squeeze Kyle, Davis, Parker and a back up big there they'd have done a great job. Even on longer contracts but less $ per year they'd create decent trade chips.

I also imagine they'd want to give themselves some breathibg room under the tax because of the pending Kawhi trade, so it'd be tough to keep everyone.

I think if Kyle/Bertans take their QO, SA is in a great spot. That would only be 8M for those two. I can’t imagine SA taking on salary in a Kawhi deal so I think they are more than safe.

They've got themselves in an UGLY tax position with the Paul contract - they are over the tax line, IIRC, with 8 players signed, not including Capela. So every dollar to him costs them double this season, and then they have to think about the repeater tax going forwards...

Who do you see giving DJ a max? He's strong defensively, but unless he has a breakout, he's been poor offensively. On his showing so far, I don't see him attracting more than the taxpayer MLE as an RFA...

Who are we talking about here? I thought he was referencing DeAndre Jordan. If he’s talking about Murray, Murray is under contract after this next season as a team option.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about DeJounte. He's being going on about the PATFO being cheap and will DJ get his max from the Spurs. I don't see who else on our team that DJ could apply to.

Mavs will have a ton of cap space in 2019 and will definetely go after Capela (if he is available), because he fits better on their timeline.

No interest on Anderson, Parker, and Forbes still.
Anderson visited Sacramento... teams just don’t have enough money. Only a terrible team can pay him something. The belief is Spurs will match too, so it has to be an amount to scare the Spurs off. Sucks for him. Bad time to be a FA. He hasn’t asked to be released. That tells me he still wants to be a Spur. Tony has talked to teams but he’s not getting what he wants. Not seen anything about Forbes.

Anderson is going to get what Simmons got : no interest because he is an RFA. Given I think he wants to be back, I expect him and the Spurs to work something out.

Murray Mills Parker
White Ginobili Bellineli
Leanord Green Walker

:toast

He hasn't caught Greatness yet but she's letting him buy her drinks. Good start.

[dbestpro]

Murray will come into his own as a top tier NBA player in the next couple years. What a great late round pick.

[Ditty]

Unless Pop never lets Murray shoot or he only recorded the times he made a shot, Murray’s shot looks good. It’s amazing how good NBA players are playing against average joes. I remember seeing Ray McCallum at a lifetime fitness here in San Antonio after he got released. The kid could not miss a jumper. Now he’s not even in the league anymore.

[Mugen]

:lol not saying his shot hasn't improved, but I wouldn't let a highly edited instagram highlight reel against a bunch of YMCA'ers be definitive proof tbh

It's amazing how guys can look when they only give you a montage of the shots they make.

I doubt DJ gets a max offer from other team that the Spurs have to match in 2021 offseason...I can't see the Spurs offering him a max deal either.
That's why I posted "we'll see what happen to DJ's max"... I wonder if not getting the max will make Murray happy.

We can think that market, supply and demand determine players' value...I'm pretty sure players think otherwise.

Damn so HOU is losing Clint Capela :wow

I guess Capela doesn't love the offer he gets from the rest of teams either and Rockets isn't exactly offering him the max, who knows if they will match "any" offer...

I'm just saying the Spurs could have a disgruntled star again. We'll see how it ends.

No, no. It’s on record that if you don’t immediately and without hesitation offer as much money as is allowed no matter what any other team can offer that the players ego kicks in and they want to leave. There is no wiggle room.

I wonder how tight Thibbs and Butler are? I see Jimmy is saying he won't resign because he doesn't like the young guys (Wiggins and Kat I assume). One school of thought is to trade Jimmy now but, I wonder if Thibbs might go the other way and move Wiggins and Kat? Would they gamble on resigning kawhi and go all in on this season? Would Kawhi + Pau + a couple 1st's to mitigate the risk work?

Finally something we can agree on... :lol
