:lol

[phxspurfan]

Can't believe the Lakers gave us Ingram, Kuzma and 2 firsts for DeRozan! 2019-2020 Let's get it!

[JeffDuncan]

I must be getting older. It seemed to me the 2018 season sure went by fast.

[BackHome]

Always love watching college ball and now that Walker and Murray are out we should get our best draft pick since Timmy. So let’s discuss next years draft we all know we need a SG and SF.

[JeffDuncan]

The Spurs will draft a Serbian, a Bulgarian, and a 7 footer from Cambodia, and send them all to France for the rest of their lives. So I don't know what college ball has to do with it.

[vander]

It will be a great offseason:

Gasol out, maybe even packaged with Mills
Murry back from injury
Walker called up from D-league
Pop retires

LMA/Gay/DDR/Walker/Murray SL not too shabby

Didn't Gay sign a 1 year deal? I think we will go after a big name FA.

Durant (Dubs? Knicks? Not SA)
Leonard (LA)
Irving (likely re signing with Celts)
Butler
Thompson (Dubs w/pay cut or ?)
Cousins
Horford
Kemba
Middleton
Bledsoe
Tobias Harris
Marc Gasol
Teodosic

I wonder why Patty can't even bother KD when Harden can guard Pau Gasol in playoffs...A fascinating mistery of life. Or not.

[BackHome]

Umm your comparing Gasoft to KD ummmm NO.

[MaNu4Tres]

DeAndre Hunter and Jaylen Hoard.

[SpursDynasty85]

I wonder why Patty can't even bother KD when Harden can guard Pau Gasol in playoffs...A fascinating mistery of life. Or not.

It's pretty obvious.

[Dex]

I wonder why Patty can't even bother KD when Harden can guard Pau Gasol in playoffs...A fascinating mistery of life. Or not.

Patty is a midget, Durant is a top 3 player, Harden is probably the strongest SG in the NBA, and Gasol belongs in a retirement home.

[Spurs da champs]

Jakob needs to go ASAP.

[Kurgan]

Jakob needs to go ASAP.

Guy's been a massive disappointment. We traded LDN for this soft piece of shit?

[SpurPadre]

Guy's been a massive disappointment. We traded LDN for this soft piece of shit?

Seriously. Joffrey was more useful at this point than he's been.

[TDomination]

We need to do what we can to make this a championship team next season. With Derozan and aldridge right now, they are good enough offensively to at least be a championship contender. Rudy Gay is a great 4th option. But we need another top dawg.

1) Go get Jimmy Butler. (we all know he's a poor mans Kawhi but he can still score) We badly need his defense but this would be a great addition.

2) Bring Danny Green Back for an off the bench role. (i truly hope Kawhi leaves Toronto. It will be easier to convince Green to come back. He loves SA and wanted to stay here hence the opt-in. I know Pop loves Green as well and i'm sure would like him back.)

3) Murray stay healthy

4) Trade Forbes w/Pau (We gotta make Forbes look as good as possible this year to be able to trade him over the summer. Send Pau as well. Maybe do a sign and trade to get Deandre Jordan.)

5) Get Lonnie Walker integrated as a main rotation player (hopefully he's as good as advertised.)

PG - Murray/White/Mills
SG - DDR/Walker/Belinneli
SF - Butler/Gay/Green
PF - Aldridge/Bertans
C - Jordan/Poetle

I'm not good with salaries but as far as possible lineup goes, this would be a lot better defensively speaking. If not Jordan, i'm not sure who would be good to get that could stretch the floor or be able to guard stretch 4's. Unless we just keep Gay at the 4 but he just has a lot of health issues to rely on him as a starter.

If we're unable to get butler, try to get Kyrie Irving. We all know SA was a trade option when he got traded last year. Perhaps he would want to come here? And in this scenario have Murray come off the bench.

With everyone healthy + Jimmy and one or two wing defenders in place of Mills/Forbes/Pondexter/Poeltl, this team is a contender. Problem is 1. everyone never stays healthy here for some reason and 2. the brass won't get rid of the dead weight

[RC_Drunkford]

3. Jimmy Butler doesn't want to play here
4. Pop doesn't want Jimmy Butler
5. They will never trade Mills

[JeffDuncan]

We need to do what we can to make this a championship team next season. ...

From your mouth to PATFO's ears. Yes.


... we need another top dawg.

Nah, we just need any dawgs who have some fight in them. Doesn't have to be a famous name.


1) Go get Jimmy Butler.

Too high priced for what he offers. Also, his teacher wrote "Doesn't play well with others" on his report card.

We need depth. It would be so so nice to have a good bench. We need several players, not just one.


2) Bring Danny Green Back ...

No. We must stop trying to live in the past.

[RC_Drunkford]

We need to do what we can to make this a championship team next season. With Derozan and aldridge right now, they are good enough offensively to at least be a championship contender. Rudy Gay is a great 4th option. But we need another top dawg.

Let me tell you this:

1. you don't have to trade Gasol, just waive and stretch him
2. If you want to sign ANYBODY for more than 9 Mill per year, Mills has to get traded. Otherwise that's all you got. MLE, no cap space
3. Danny Green will most likely cost more than 9 million with the way he is playing
4. If you really want to sign a star Rudy Gay's cap hold needs to get renounced, which means he's gone

conclusion: Spurs biggest signing next year will be Stanley Johnson and the team will most likely stay the same. Sorry to crush your dreams, but the next 2 seasons will be hard to watch and making it out of the first Playoff round will be considered a success

[BackHome]

Well I am hoping the Spurs get a pick between 9 to 12 with that pick we get a SF who can play offense and defense.

Our second pick either another SF or PF would like to move up from 28 maybe include Forbes in some kinda trade were we move up 18 or 19.

Trade Poodle or Gasol and bring over Nikola.

Spurs won't end up in the lottery. Probably something like last year around the 20th pick. Toronto pick will most likely be the 30th which means it's almost a 2nd rounder and pretty worthless

Whos Jordan? Deandre? Lol what’s he signing for a charity contract?

[ernest787]

Whos Jordan? Deandre? Lol what’s he signing for a charity contract?

yeah that entire scenario is a pipe dream. we give up nothing and get 2 all-star level players in return. not happening

[BackHome]

I think we will do much better 9 to 13 and I say that because we have no bench and our defense is terrible. If Deroz or
LMA or Gay can’t play that is pretty much a loss

[Chillen]

Who says Jimmy Butler doesn't want to play for Spurs? because they weren't on his trade list? BS.

Who says Pop doesn't want Jimmy Butler? more BS.

If Pop doesn't want Butler here RC can tell him to step down.

Butler, DeRozan and Aldridge would be amazing.

The Spurs real offseason target should be Durant to pair with DeRozan and Aldridge even if it's a slim chance.

Spurs better be prepared to make some moves when this season is over depending on if this team makes playoffs.

More like Demar is the Ringer. LMA and Rudy are behind him. The rest are special needs.

You just know the Spurs will hold on to Poeltl for 3 reasons:

Letting him go would show the world that they made a mistake.

Pop wants to "do right" by his players.

He wants to do right by Poeltl especially because he has a hard on for 7ft Euro stiffs.

RC is Pop's glorified secretary. No one in the league has a cushier, high-profile job than RC. Why? Because he's a yes man and simply answers the calls for Pop. Pop tells HIM what to do.

[TimDunkem]

yeah that entire scenario is a pipe dream. we give up nothing and get 2 all-star level players in return. not happening

Spurs fans are the worst at coming up with realistic trade scenarios. From FO to fans, no one overrates their scrubs more than people in SA. They think that just because PATFO believes Shitty and Gasoft are worth 100 million that the rest of the league believes so too.

[TimDunkem]

Starting this...meow.

I'll also just put this right...here.

https://image.ibb.co/ngxNMK/18a.png

To think Pop allowed this switch to happen without making adjustments game after game. Past his prime, tbh.

[SpurPadre]

Pop wants to "do right" by his players.

He wants to do right by Poetl especially because he has a hard on for 7ft Euro stiffs.

Every year, Pop has to have the worst player in the league in the roster too. For most seasons in the Pop era, it was Bonner. Then it was Ayres. Last year, it was Joffrey. This year it's Forbes with Poetl and Mills gunning hard for that spot, tbh.

Gallinari healthy again. What do you guys think of him?

yay more soft euro bigs. Just what we need when we have Gasol, Purrtl and Bert

[r0drig0lac]

Gallo is definitely injury prone, but not soft

[BackHome]

Don’t want to add anyone this season just run with our new guys Metu, White, and Walker give us a good idea of what we have.

After the the season we need to make some serious changes (FORBES or MILLs) one of the munchkins has to be traded or let go. Then need to figure what to do with Gasol and Poodle one is old and starting to break down the other is soft and could be the poster boy for Charmin toilet paper.

Cunningham and Poindexter should be replaced by our two first round picks.


Would like to see us do a trade and move Gasol and Mills make move up in draft

Bring over Nikola he is not soft.

Spurs need a trade. Draft picks, Murray and the MLE won't be enough

[SpurPadre]

Toronto's 1st Round pick turns out to be so low, that it will likely be a draft and stash big who can't shoot from Serbia, tbh. Too bad we couldn't also get a future 1st round pick from 2020 as once Load Management plays for LA next season, that pick will be higher. At least with us as an 8th seed, we could still get a potentially quality player.

[CGD]

LMA, Murray, Forbes, 2 firsts for an Anthony Davis 1-year rental. Pray for a Paul George.

Start a bid war between BOS, NYC and LAL and flip him again in February, when he inevitably says he’s leaving.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Spurs need a trade. Draft picks, Murray and the MLE won't be enough


The problem is, what do the Spurs use as trade ballast? Nobody is giving up the kind of player the Spurs really need and taking back Mills. DeRozan's contract is too bloated. Bertans actually has the best on/off of any non-starter in the league, but I don't think other teams will be beating down the door for him, and he's only $7M.

Go looking for a team with enough space to absorb the hit from DeRozan? That means giving up picks. Probably this year's first, and a future since the Spurs look desperate. Maybe I'm just in a negative mood, but I don't see much of a way out of jail here.

Where's Isaiah Thomas when you really need him?

[slick'81]

Spurs need a trade. Draft picks, Murray and the MLE won't be enough

spurs are stuck with untradeable garbage to try and upgrade

[Degoat]

Even though the Toronto pick looks like it’ll be 29, it’s still valuable. I’m confident the spurs will find a quality player with one of the 2 picks. I Would like to see them trade both picks and move up but I doubt that happens

[TimDunkem]

Let's not forget that some are more untouchable than anything.

Right, because we've NEVER had a good pick that late...

[Mugen]

In a perfect world, Pop retires and they are able to ship out Derozan.

But I'll settle with the team cutting ties with one of Patty or Bryn....hell I'll even settle for not wasting two roster spots on absolute losers like QPon or Dante.

It's a super low bar but I doubt these morons even clear it :lol

same here

[Mugen]

Lonnie has the chops to be in the rotation. This is pretty evident to anybody that has seen him play. Another summer league and a full training camp and I have absolutely zero doubt he'd be more helpful than Patty or Bryn.

Unfortunately, Patty will never be moved. In fact it's more likely that, upon his death, his body is taxidermied and propped up next to the bench in his waving a towel pose.

Equally as unfortunate is that Bryn looks to be moving in the same direction with the PATFO. Bryn is an absolute loser and despite his recent string of good games, any team that has him in their 9 man rotation has first-round fodder as its ceiling.

Squeezing Lonnie out an additional year in favor of one-tricky ponies like Fatty Forbes would be fucking terrible but I fully expect the morons to go that route.

[phxspurfan]

At least he's fun to watch. If I have to endure a mediocre w/l record, I would at least rather watch him play. I wish the Spurs could convince someone to take the Raptors pick and the Spurs' second to just eat Mills' contract.

Mills has to go. I'd say Pop should ship out Mills and sign Tony so he can retire here. That way you still have some veteran leadership and corporate knowledge around, but as a 3rd stringer. I don't see a trade out there either, but it's possible to move Mills without giving up too much. Maybe Borrego would want him.

[gambit1990]

no point in acquiring parker :lol dude is not gonna help this team.

spurs already have brent working for them so hopefully that makes sure tony doesn't return.

If we get rid of Forbes, I will blow a load on my work computer, tbh.

Hmmm... could Luc Mbah a Mute be a possible prospect in the Spurs' offseason?

The Los Angeles Clippers waived Luc Mbah A Moute in order to free up a roster spot before the playoffs.
Mbah A Moute appeared in just 4 games this season, averaging 5 points and 1.8 rebounds. He was ruled out for the season after having knee surgery.

Looks like he might be available this offseason, & could be a nice pickup, either to replace DC33 to come off the bench, or perhaps even as a starter in the SF position. Upside: He has been noted for his defensive skills, which his contributions with the Rocketts' back in 2017-18, made their defense pretty good. His offensive skills aren't too bad, either, for the 6-8 Camaroonian. The downside: Of coarse he will be coming off his knee surgery, but he should be ready come training camp in the fall. Another thing to take into consideration is his age. He's 32 right now, so he's starting to get a little long in the tooth as an NBA player. Of coarse he's not our answer at SF as a long haul solution, but he may come on the cheap. The real solution for SF, would be the draft as a priority, while free agency would be secondary, in my opinion. But all-in-all, this offseason will be pretty interesting when it begins to unfold, but first things first... the playoffs. GSG!!!

[Fusternino]

Duombouya falling pretty far in most mock drafts. Could be a long-term project for us. I still think need to move Forbes and a pick to move up further in the draft.

Hi

What's going on? Official no hope at halftime thread?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pop needs to call up one of his former assistants and get them to take Patty's ridiculous contract this offseason. Corporate knowledge and all that. Send them a 2024 second rounder and move on from the blunder from down under.

[phxspurfan]

Damn I wish we got Dame and McCollum instead of DeRozan. It would have been a deal when I called it in November 2017 as soon as we knew Kawhi sat out while perfectly healthy

[Robz4000]

Said it downstairs, but a Nurkic/LMA swap might interest the Guests if Nurkic is gonna be out a significant part of next season.

Why would SA do that? If they want to move on from LMA they can do better than Nurkic. LMA only has like 7M guaranteed in his final year and he’s better than Nurkic next season. So keep LMA then just waive him like Pau.

[Kurgan]

i want to move on from Derozan asap before he poisons the minds of the younger players with his mentorship and has them chucking like Kobe too. Have Manu and Parker work with White/Murray in the off-season.

[phxspurfan]

Spurs need to trade DeMar for a package and start the reboot

[Robz4000]

If LMA requests a trade again (which he supposedly did in private this past offseason) you know the Guests would be at the top of his list and the Spurs love being seen as doing right by their players. Couldn't see Portland wanting to do it if Nurk was healthy since he fits their team extremely well, but even if Nurkic isn't as good as LMA right now (regular season at least) he fits the mold of a modern NBA Center while being young enough to grow even more. Spurs could also nab one of their Forwards (Harkless?) to help balance the roster and replace Gay.

[DPG21920]

Nah - that’s awful. If you do that, might as well trade DeRozan too and go with the youth. But if that is the case a team would surely give a first or two for LMA IMO and rather get that than Nurk

[DPG21920]

I think Nurkic is only guaranteed 4M after next season, so his deal is pretty much the same as LMA that year (LMA guaranteed 7M only after next season). So unless you could get some picks from POR I would not entertain that. I don’t think you can view Nurk as a basketball player next season.

So that would be a rebuild and clear the books for 21’ type move. I think LMA value is decently high still too. A team could get him for 2 years by trading for him next year with an out if they dont want him with his low partial guarantee in year 2.

[spursistan]

I think they should definitely break this Aldridge/Derozan core (secretly hoping one them demand trade this summer)..

Having two of that archetype in your team as 1A/1B is either being unserious or flat out incompetent when it comes to competing in Today's NBA

[Robz4000]

I'd be 100% on board with trading both, but I don't think PATFO would be cool with that much upheaval two years in a row; they'd trade LMA and keep DeRozan unless DeRozan also asked for a trade. I can't see a single team offering a first for LMA unless it was towards the end of the first, and Nurkic is at least better than that (not that I'm that high on him in the first place). This scenario was brought up a while ago but just didn't seem to make sense for either team, but with Nurkic's injury and LMA's disinterest in the postseason it no longer seems farfetched.

They'd make the move hoping to resign Nurkic, but that $3M in savings might be enough for PATFO to pull the trigger tbh. Again, I don't see any teams being willing to offer much for LMA due to his style of play and seemingly diva attitude. Never know though, a team like the Suns may be desperate enough to pull the trigger while offering something of value.

[Degoat]

I’ve been a big Davis fan but it’s been unacceptable how bad he’s been this series Idk if teams would do it but if we could trade the 19th pick plus Davis and move up a couple of spots in the draft I’d totally do it, we need a big SF really bad on this team.

[Degoat]

I’d be okay shipping DeMar out but I think that makes the spurs look really bad to trade the guy who you got in the kawhi trade lol I can’t imagine us trading LA unless he asks us to and we do him a favor and trade him to Portland but why would Portland do that at this point

[Texas_Ranger]

getting rid of 10 players on this team would be phenomenal... sucks that our FO don't have the balls to do shit. I'd rather tank, than watch this losers play for the 8th seed.

[Andreas68]

Guy's been a massive disappointment. We traded LDN for this soft piece of shit?
Oh Yeah!!! The best post ever here!!!!!:lmao

[Andreas68]

Jakob needs to go ASAP.
You are the best so far !!! The best post ever !!!!!:lmao

we also need fewer dwarves in the list, but the president of operations does not seem to see in the same way, which leads me to believe that maybe he thinks this team does not need real wings.

Not to mention their games do not compliment each other at all - DDR isn't that great in PNR/PNP and as we have seen this playoffs team don't even bother to guard him until he nears the FT line contributing to poor spacing for LMA in post

[Atl Spur]

Zach Collins must be in any Portland deal.

[RC_Drunkford]

spurs need to get rid of 2/3 of the roster. If it was me I'd only keep White, Murray, Walker, Aldridge and Poeltl. You can keep Forbes too since he's on a cheap deal. Send Metu to the G-League team. Don't resign the expiring contracts and trade everybody else

[objective]

Maybe DeRozan + extra (picks?) Could get ... Blake Griffin?

Broken down higher paid, more years, ego player

But at least he isn't too mentally fragile to shoot threes

[JeffDuncan]

That looks right.

Need a new coach, too.

[JeffDuncan]

Dream on.

The Spurs would have to pick up $10 million of the tab to move DDR in this league.

It would be worth it.

[Spurs da champs]

Yeah I forgot Jakob was so great at the time, glad he picked it up 3/4 into the season and into the playoffs as well.

Boston needs a big and they have 3 first round pick if they don’t get Uni Brow they might be open to trade.

[Robz4000]

They already have too many ball-dominant players, it'd make no sense to add another.

[phxspurfan]

Bertans needs to stop passing the ball. Just shoot the fucking ball.

This. He threw one crazy over the head pass when he had a wide open 3 that made me want to throw the remote at the TV.

[RC_Drunkford]

You forgot about da ninja Bert

Useless in the playoffs. I'd trade him too, but if he stays I'm not mad

[RC_Drunkford]

If the Spurs don't get rid of some of these losers on draft night, that'll be the first indication that they are keeping the group together

[RD2191]

This team is full of fucking faggots. I pretty much hate every player except for white and poeltl.

[phxspurfan]

Im just gonna put this right...here
