This should be fun.
Here is today's article for a Slovenian website, that is, unlike certain spanish website, actually quoting Lorbek saying that all the rumours that have been circulating lately about his future are totally ungrounded.
Use Google translate or something if you need extra proof.

Exactly. And in the long run Lorbek doesn't help either because he would be a 29 year old rookie who would need additional 1-2 years to adapt.Quote:

Rumor here in Spain is that Lorbek is coming to the spurs next season. If we can get rid of Bonner or Blair and bring back Diaw plus signing Lorbek... Watch out.
A couple of years ago the financial incentives were all on the side of staying in Europe because the Euro was strong against the dollar and it looked like the US was going to have a worse economy than Europe..
But with the Euro imploding and Greece, Italy and Spain in serious financial trouble, the Euro leagues may be forced to cut back on salaries and perks.
Right now it probably looks better than before to European players to try the NBA.
What has he done to warrant MLE? He's a fucking 2nd round pick!Quote:

This season's offseason priorities IMO...
Whats best for the team (players you need to bring back)
1. Sign Duncan
2. Sign Diaw
3. Sign Green
4. Sign Lorbek
Where the money goes (who to pay first)
Diaw
Green
Duncan (pay him what he wants, hopefully it is enough to bring the two above back)
Lorbek (Get rid of Bonner or Blair and Anderson) {My pick is Bonner}
http://http://hoopshype.com/salaries/san_antonio.htm
Spurs are at 48.2 million for next year.They will like to stay under the luxary tax of 70 million.
Sign Duncan for 10-12 mill
Sign Green for 4-6 mill
Decline Blair option
Let go of Anderson
Patty player option-likely to look for more money
Mills/Neal-Spurs cant keep both
Diaw/Lorbek-Spurs won't keep both.One is coming or going.
Bonner is under contract for 2 years.
Trade him to the Rockets for cash.
does he have a reliable 3 point shot?
yes.
If we sign Green for less, Hometown discount" can we bring in Diaw and Lorbek?
Neal isnt a free agent this year.

Anderson is already gone
I think patty will get some contract offers this summer and will not be back
Neal is not going anywhere playing for peanuts
Diaw/Lorbek- I believe Lorbek come cheaper than most here think and I think its possible we could end up with both.
Bonner should be shopped and if no takers amnisteed.
Bonner contract isn't horrible, and I'm sure we can find a trade suitor for him paired with Blair or alone. A frontline next year of Timmy, Tiago, Diaw and Lorbek woulb be awesome...
But if I have to choose at this point I prefer to re-sign Diaw
Even if we let Green walk, resigning Duncan puts us at or near the cap. In order to have enough cap to work with to matter, both Danny and Tim would need to sign for a combined $5-7 million, which is pretty obviously ludicrous scenario.Quote:

Everyone is assuming Duncan will get a big deal but considering he's already committed to the Spurs then perhaps he's also committed to a very low deal. If the Spurs win the title this year then how likely is Duncan willing to be to sacrifice in attempt to get the only thing he doesn't have: a reapeat?
Everything is speculation at this point but I would not discount this being a plausible scenario.
That's why it isn't worth trying to figure out scenarios where the Spurs have cap space. If Duncan returns, assume that they won't.Quote:

Assuming that the Max salary cap is around $58million, the Spurs have 8 million to work with before going over. Once they are over, they rely on the MLE, LLE (is it still called this?), and minimum contracts.
If Duncan and Green sign for 5 Million combined, there is a realistic possibility we resign Diaw and bring on Lorbek. But 5 million for both, as Tesseractive accurately stated, is a ludicrous scenario.
I think the consensus is that Lorbek would have to take the LLE of about $2 million per year, assuming Diaw gets the MLE. Not sure if we can give Lorbek part of the MLE in addition to the full LLE, should we not think Diaw is worth the whole thing.
Also amnesty Bonner seems plausible, then his $3.6 million next year does not count against the cap, and Shamsports is showing his $3.9 million in the following year as unguaranteed. Unless he picks up his play we may not see him back next year.
Another good option would be to amnesty Manu ($14 million) and use the money saved to sign Dwight Howard. We could then either discard Duncan or require him to play at the minimum salary.
Oops Howard has another year on his contract, my bad.
Are we allowed to tamper there and set up our Duncan succession plan? Some sort of under the table agreement perhaps?
