Me too. Obviously this means the Spurs are not going to do anything at all this offseason. We should all panic.

It's like the Spurs don't even try. Why hasn't Chris Paul been linked to signing here?

My sources tell me RC is working on a trade for LeBron. We might be swapping Mills, De Colo, Diaw, and Bertans plus a future unprotected 1st round pick for him. Stay tuned for more.

Re: Why are all these FA deals and rumors going on and the Spurs are in none of them?
is this some kind of gnsf troll thread
lol at any free agents ever coming to SA
the best chance SA has of getting free agents is if they overpay a mediocore player for long time
something like giving Iguodala the max
Spurs will get no one since with the current capspace theyll be asking guys to take paycuts
even Nando de Turnover got way more then he should have gotten

Finals appearance means spurs will stand pat and hope parker and Duncan can make another run with the same cast of misfits. The resigning of ginobili, neal, splitter, and the best summer league prospect are about all the moves they will make. The usual stuff.

Re: Why are all these FA deals and rumors going on and the Spurs are in none of them?
I love it. The Spurs seem to be the most active when they're not rumored to be. At least we don't have to stress over another Robinson-like round of speculation.

Re: Why are all these FA deals and rumors going on and the Spurs are in none of them?
What I find funny is that the same people that are saying Tiago for 3/25M is a great deal will be pissed once his numbers reflect his talent when Tim starts to decline and Manu isn't in a key role on the 2nd team trying to run Pick n Roll with him. Then everyone will say, "why didn't we get a big, we had cap money" or "why didn't the front office try" The Spurs mantra of keep pounding the rock is also as synonymous with there other old adage "if it aint broke don't fix it" they'll only worry about changes once the season is over and Tim decides to hang it up. It's kind of like Pop's adjustments, they come after the fact not during the actual run.

Everyone on the Spurs looks better because of Timmy, not just Tiago.

Yes, but not everyone on the Spurs are about to get paid 8 or 9 Million because of it.

And some of us will ask the same question we're asking now. Who was (is) this mythical big the Spurs were (are) supposed to sign instead of Splitter?

All right.
So anyway, why'd you want Hickson? He's a very limited player and is best served as a third big anyway.

Cheaper, better rebounder, allows us to go after someone who can spell Tony and create on the perimeter. I'm not saying he's an upgrade over Splitter, just don't think $8m per is good value.

Fair enough. He puts up good numbers, and he'd probably be even better next to Duncan. Giving up a seven-footer is really tough, so I'd still hope that the coaching staff would be confidence Baynes could step up or that they could another center. I hear Hickson hates playing the five.
I'd prefer Tiago, but Hickson wouldn't be a bad consolation prize in a double S&T if the Spurs think he has the BBIQ to learn the system.

If they expect to have to replace Neal, this could be good news. They put a QO on him, so they may be interested in S&Ting him to get another asset. Mason wouldn't be a bad stop-gap, but I'd rather just keep Denmon on the bench for a year and move Mills up to the regular rotation.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's just a bench warm/future part of coaching staff decision regarding Mason. He might suck as a player but is well respected as a teammate throughout the NBA.

Agree. Once Manu starts playing shit*y all year long and Splitter has the same mediocre number, only then will all these Popsuckers and Manu worshippers realize how wrong they were all along. Once the Spurs stay pat, they don't get past the second round or WCF, only then will all these Spurs homers realize how wrong they were. I will be LMAO at them. I'll be here trolling them like crazy. I'll be crying for Tim Duncan though.

Re: Why are all these FA deals and rumors going on and the Spurs are in none of them?
Spurs don't show their hand, so it will be hard to know what they are doing with free agency. Reflecting on their loss to the Heat, and the way the steamrolled through the west, I'm inclined to think that their bigs were not the problem. That's assuming Duncan plays about the same. Tiago was good most of the year and we had diversity with Diaw, Bonner, and occassionally Blair/Baynes. I assume we get a big to replace Blair, but not a big dollar guy as the only ones out there are Howard (not coming) and Josh Smith (too expensive).
I thought the real need was a back up point guard that you could morph the backups into. For example, we need someone that can dribble and pass (De Colo), someone who can shoot (Mills) and someone that can defense (Cojo). Not sure if there is a guy out there that meets that description. He doesn't have to do all three of those things better than the backup, he just has to be able to do all three better than those backups can do all three. Maybe that's why we hear rumors about an Ellis or a Jack. That's where I'd spend my money if I were the Spurs (along with resigning Tiago and Manu).

You've hit the nail in the coffin. The number #1 priority is getting a backup PG to Tony Parker and Manu. Spurs should consider Jack, Ellis, or Jose Calderon.
