Eventually.
Wouldn't be surprised if Horford would want out in a few years tbh
Wonder if he'll try to ply danny green away
It looks like Ferry has accepted the ATL GM job.

Josh Smith trade please. Do it!
So do we even have FO anymore.:lol
As long as RC stays out of the drunk tank, we're fine.Quote:

True it just seems every time I look somebody else from spurs is a new GM.:lolQuote:

Scola, mostly, among other blunders that probably aren't entirely his fault. And the fact that the Spurs have won zero championships since he joined the ship.Quote:

Just hoping he doesn't throw a ton of money at Danny Green since Green was his find in the first place.
Congrats Danny, and best of luck in the ATL. :tu
You have probably said elsewhere, but what would you pay him and what kind of offers do you expect to see from other teams?Quote:

He's accepted the offer.
The Atlanta Hawks Name Danny Ferry President of Basketball Operations and General Manager
ATLANTA, GA - The Atlanta Hawks announced today that Danny Ferry has been named President of Basketball Operations and General Manager.

And Danny Green is in ATL for some reason also

Well, that didn't take long: with Atlanta GM Danny Ferry in his first day on the job, the message is spreading that he'll be looking to shake up the Hawks' roster and rebuild in some capacity. No specifics yet, but forward Josh Smith has tremendous value and an expiring contract (next season at $13.2 million), center Al Horford will be healthy again and is an attractive piece as well (four years, $48 million remaining) and shooting guard Joe Johnson has the sort of deal that any sane GM would try - and likely try in vain - to get rid of (four years and $89.3 million left).

Meanwhile, Spurs likely to handle Danny Ferry's departure to Atlanta 4 Pres/GM gig internally among its remaining front office personnel.
Pres/Sports F'chises R.C. Buford & asst GM Dennis Lindsey 2 take most of Ferry's duties. Ex player Sean Marks also being groomed 4 mgmt role
I forget about Sean Marks. Does anyone know if he has any aptitude?
It's funny how a lot off former players are still involved in San Antonio.
First Ferry, then Marks. Isn't Jacque Vaughn also on Pop's coaching staff?
sits right behind pop every game.Quote:

It might be worth it to amnesty JJ. Either way, you're stuck paying him, but with him off the cap, you can actually improve and rebuild.Quote:

The remainder is about $88M, minus what some other team claims him for, which could be between 30 and 40M. If you keep him, you're on the hook for the whole thing, and your rebuilding is delayed 4 years by his horrendous cap figure.Quote:
