Appears to be a rim rolling type big.

[KingKev]

After we resign DDR/Patty this will be our major FA pickup!!

[KingKev]

What type of money would he command?

[Robz4000]

Someone like this is who the Spurs will sign next offseason after reupping DePression for the max tbh.

[Dejounte]

You're joking, but it could very well be true.

All our eyes are focused on the obvious bigs available on the market like Collins, Richaun, Drummond... yet the Spurs are looking at other guys.

Honestly, this expression of interest by the Spurs points me the other way-- I think looking at unknowns like Dinos may mean we might get a big overhaul over the summer. Otherwise, the cap space could have just been used on one major player like Collins and the roster would have been done.

[GAustex]

End of the bench scrub maybe i guess

[Dejounte]

What type of money would he command?

Facundo Campazzo signed a 2 year / $6,400,000 contract with the Denver Nuggets, so I think Dinos would command something similar and maybe a little larger because he's younger.

[RC_Drunkford]

I been thinking that with all this cap space the Spurs have in the offseason, they will probably bring 1-2 Euros over. I just don't know if there are any players available who could become high level NBA players

The Spurs were able to turn players like Tiago and Bertans into quality NBA players. I feel like the Spurs have a better hit rate with international players than American ones.

In fact, if Dinos gets signed, it would remind me very much of the Tiago signing.

Appears he can shoot 3s, too.

[R. DeMurre]

I remember when he was at Wake Forest with John Collins... interesting connection.

Gross. Imagine him, Eubanks, Samanic, and Poeltl being your bigs...

Can we get an athletic black center for fucks sake?

I wouldn't mind Mitoglou as a 4 off the bench. He's pretty versatile and shot 44% from 3 in the Greek League. Still want a mobile 3-point shooting Center like Myles Turner though or maybe Holmes. We got 50 million, we can add a lot of good players if we don't resign any of the 4 vets, which I hope

[Dejounte]

In the scenario Dinos isn't actually being used to bait Collins...

C: Poetl/ Dinos/ Eubanks

15 players

Mills is so gone. I don't know why people think he will still be with this team. Gay looks like he won't fit next year either. You can only have 15 players on your roster.

So, as a back-up to Collins? I don't know. He doesn't look like he's mobile enough + he did play alongside Collins as a C in line-ups in college.

[RC_Drunkford]

I'd rather see something like this

White/Murray/Tre Jones
Walker/Vassell/Weatherspoon
Johnson/Wagner
Collins/Mitoglou/Samanic
Holmes/Poeltl/Eubanks

combo PF/C. Could also just waive Eubanks and bring him in

Signing two "big names" in free agency will force the team to hit the luxury tax, especially when you consider Lonnie's extension is coming up. I doubt they would be willing to do that unless they believed we would be contending in the short term.

nah we have about 57 million in cap space next year. We can easily sign 2 plus 1 euro and operate over the cap in 2022 with the Walker extension while being below the luxury tax

nope like I said I'm right. According to your calculation we have 28 million open in 2021 which would be enough for Holmes, who'd probably sign for less than that. In 2022 with your calculated Walker extension and if Holmes would be at 28, although I assume it woud rather be around 20 million, we'd have a cap of 131 million. The luxury tax threshold is 138 million right now and that's without the cap going up. It would only get tricky in 2023 when Keldon and Luka extensions would kick in, but that's way too far ahead. I'd like for the Spurs to be aggressive with their cap space until then

They will be $4 million over the Luxury Tax Threshold in 2022:

This assumes no free agent signings in summer of 2022 and 2023 = unrealistic.

[RC_Drunkford]

that's only if the cap doesn't go up though, which it should although it's hard to predict with Covid still around. They will have to make some trades down the line anyway. Gotta see how it plays out. Also cut Dinos and they would still be under the tax. I doubt that he would cost 8 million

your number for White is off in the chart above..

[BackHome]

I don't care I am so hatting on Poodle every time he enters the game I get depressed - no fire - no passion - bricks - air balls. For the love of God just go out hunting and bring a good big man either through free agency or draft.

[Uriel]

Wouldn’t we just be better off bringing in Milutinov?

[KingKev]

he just signed a 3 year deal with no NBA outs. He’ll be 29 when a free agent again.

[Chinook]

The tax is like $25 Million higher than the cap?

he signed a 4yr/73mm deal

So that figure is even higher. I'm referencing Sportrac for my numbers. I believe the $73 total is with the bonus stipulations included.

True. I definitely showed up in the middle of the convo. My bad. No way on Earth should the Spurs have all those players under contract.

[tbdog]

TBH, its actually likely. There is nothing wrong with them or their role. But it does come to money and the ability to make a run for a solid 4 that could become an allstar.

[spurraider21]

im not super impressed by a lot of those highlights, but his expanding range is intriguing

He fucking stoned Christian Wood to a standstill. No lies told here.

[poopbox]

Looking for a guy to replace Puka Sammich before he even gets on the floor tbh :depressed

[BackHome]

So what’s your point the guy is what averaging 5 pts to go with his 6 rebounds and shooting 23% from the free throw line. Those are facts that tell me his numbers aren’t going to cut it and it’s time to find a starting big man ASAP.

[look_at_g_shred]

Bring Collins Home

[rah88sa]

How's his defense?

[Dejounte]

Completely forgot about this guy.

Solves our back up C problem if/when Aldridge is gone since Eubanks can't be relied on.

Would be the perfect Stretch Big behind Poeltl.
