The SF market outside of AK for this team was pretty underwhelming - I'm really not convinced anybody else who is listed as a SF would contribute more than Manu/Green/Belinelli (and we can play Diaw there vs. bigger wings who know how to use their size*). One strength of RC & Pop is that they have rarely panicked and just "done something" to fill a hole. If plan A doesn't work and plan B sucks, roll with what you've got and maintain flexibility going forward.Quote:

Thank you for your insight. Since we have taken away Neal's QO, how long do we have to do a S&T with him, or Blair for that matter?Quote:

For Neal, the RFA status has slow down the process and Milwaukee, that is said to be interested in him has its hands full with the Jennings situation.
For Blair, while I think a lot of teams would welcome him for a min salary, teams are way more wary of giving the $3M per year he deserves because of his knees. For whatever reason(s), it seems that a S&T to Washington hasn't worked out so Blair will likely to settle for a min salary unless a team like Dallas signs him with the room exception.
And, at the end, Neal and Blair being just signed by other teams is way more likely than & S&T. Spurs offseason has a good chance of being over which kinda sucks.
Yes, as you mentioned earlier, it's just strange the Spurs have not been mentioned in any discussions with a Kawhi backup since AK47. Suppose Oden is still a possibility, but doesn't address our needs so much. You know the FO knows we need to win now. Is replacing Neal with Belinelli the endgame?Quote:

If he clears waivers, he will go to FC Barcelona who buy his european rights a year ago.Quote:

Unfortunately there is no space for him in the Spurs squad now with the hunt for Oden happening as well.Quote:

If the sign-and-trade option falls through, Blair may have to take a one-year deal, play well this season and then try to secure the multi-year deal he desires next summer. The Chicago Bulls have been linked to Blair this offseason and seem like a realistic landing spot for him since they’re a top-tier team that has minutes to offer. The L.A. Clippers have expressed interest in Blair, but only have a minimum deal and limited role to offer the young big man.
Hence the reason I listed 4 players, but for some reason you cut off my quote listing just 1.Quote:
