I thought Korver to the Nets was a done deal, but it looks like money really is a concern for him.

lol Milwaukee
If he wants money there's no way in hell he's coming here. That being said dude is a fucking sharpshooter and one of the best in the league, I'd definitely like him on this team.
I think the Spurs would have been able to do so much more this offseason if they didn't sign Splitter.
My real question is why is he Orange?

That's irrelevant, they NEED Splitter, or a big man of comparable production, and 8-9 million a season is the going rate for starting size in the NBA these days.Quote:

But you can't deny the obvious. Splitter's on the bench the last two years and nothing. Splitter starts this year and the Spurs are a juggernaut. I don't think he'll get much better than he is now but I honestly don't see many options outside of him if the Spurs want to remain competitive while Duncan's here. Plus he has great chemistry with Tim/Tony/Manu

Good point. I'm just thinking about the future of the Spurs, after Duncan and Ginobili retire. I don't know who (other than Leonard) the Spurs will build around, and I don't see them getting any high draft picks to get star talent. I am just wondering how the Spurs will re-stock talent in a few seasons.
How can anyone spend that kind of money on Korver? Guy has nothing other than shooting. I'm guessing the Spurs are looking at him as a plan d. Once they see that price tag, though, they are sure to pass. I can't say he's better than Matt Bonner.
We've much better version of him, Danny Green. Pass.
Rather have AK47, but he's not bad otherwise.
Rather have Barnes tbh
LOL Bucks.
Barnes isn't coming. He'll stay somewhere in California...most likely LA.Quote:

With or without Korver or Ellis Spurs are still the team to beat in the west.
I'd rather have Ashton Kutcher
Vet minimum only. Otherwise a waste of time.
Matt Bonner makes $4 million.........Quote:

Ashton has career 42% 3G%age

about the same as Matty. But Matty showed in these playoffs he can, when motivated, defend bigs down low pretty well, even he won't rebound for shit.

Yeah, no, I don't want the Spurs to get in on that action. One-dimensional shooters no longer are much of a fit on this team. Even Neal is more well-rounded than that.

Baynes - Undrafted, solid potential but not exactly overly young at this point, unknown
Joseph - Late 1st rounder, horrible rookie season but solid progress - steady role player at best
Building around that, with the exception of Kawhi, doesn't leave me with much hope of even a playoff berth. Sorry, it just doesn't excite me. Even adding Jean-Charles...who knows what he actually will be? It's nice to have that young stable of players, but the only ones that look they definitely have a future with this team (At this point) are Kawhi and Joseph.
I agree. Leonard is the only legit building block for the future.Quote:

Green has a much of a future as Joseph does. Their contracts end at the same time, and so long as he's willing to stay and show legitimate development, Green will get a new deal. The same is not true for Joseph unless he wants to come back on the cheap.
He's good but his role is essentially: slightly more reliable Gary Neal.
Won't be worth the money if he's retaining the 5-6m/year pricetag, or wanting even more. Spurs can just bring back Manu to do the same thing and more and still sign a PG/SG to help handle the ball. Signing Korver kinda erases every other possibility, and we're still up shit creek without another playmaker which we sorely need.
I agree that we draft well. But if we think that that list of players is going to make us contenders we're just not being realistic. That's my point.Quote:
