Trade Patty mills? Or let Cojo walk?

Why would anyone want to trade Mills, he carries that bench (as you can see on this 2 game win streak)

Mills is on a friendly 3 year deal and would probably fetch more than a RFA pending Joseph. Joseph can fill the backup PG very well

However, if the Spurs wanted to dump Mills, they could create a sizeable TE (almost $4 Million) by sending him and Ayres to Miami for the 2015 second, Hamilton and Cole. Have Miami use their McRoberts IPE on Ayres to make up the salary on their end.

Why would you want any of that stuff from Miami

I would too I just don't see who takes Tony Parker for something worth it

More like "This proposal's stupid because Mills isn't going to be traded to keep cory" scenario. :lol

Keep painting youself into that corner brah.

Kyle Anderson as the starting PG is the solution

Cojo play making will become increasingly important when Manu leaves and if Tony continues to suck. He's more important than patty going forward.

Can't put Cojo and playmaking in the same sentence... he is what he is...

He is definitely doing his best parker impersonation at 3mil a year and that's with little to no play calling for him.
He could definitely be a better playmaker in the future. You should be one to know what you see now is not set in stone.

Cojo also has that fearless attitude that parker used to have. :lol

Cojo needs to improve his BBIQ

He really isn't a playmaker, that's not to say he isn't good at doing other things (for example, he's become a great penetrator and finisher).

Yes, he can improve and no, I'm not opposed to keeping him, but the price tag does matter. We already have Tony on the books for another 3 years.

We gotta keep the Super Spurs Bros. together!

Bottom line is Cory is a regular season player, Mills is a playoff player. And bringing up his one dunk against the Thunder is the same as bringing up a play where Ayres caught a pass and claiming he's turned a corner. Cory didn't win that series; Boner inserting his red rocket up OKC is what won it.

What If I told you putting kawhi on westbrook won us that series?

I don't think that precludes them from resigning him. Assuming they take care of all their housekeeping before the 72 hours is up on CoJo getting an offer sheet (and that's if he gets one at the start of free agency), they will pay him so long as it doesn't put them above the tax and the dollar figure isn't so onerous that he couldn't be moved.

Chances are teams probably will NOT be using up cap space over valuable days to give him an offer sheet and once the dust settles, many teams will be topping out at the MLE.

If someone offers $5-$6 a year on a 3 year deal, I imagine they push for sign and trade, or match and figure it out later. Say it's the system all you want, but give me a PG any day who shoots over 50% from the floor while keeping turnovers down.

Problem I see is there is a strong chance they renounce him if they want to spend 10mil+ on a free agent

Keep both, if Manu returns and they need to let someone go then let Marco go, then try and find someone that won't be a total liability at SF.

Nope..

Taking Parker out won the series, tbh..Spurs were down by double-digits at the half in game 6 until he left the game, then the rest is history:lol..

Good point. $3 million qualifying offer vs. $0.5 million for a roster hold does make a bit of a difference. I think they'll have at least $10 million of space to play with regardless - issue is more about getting higher than that. If Tim or Manu want to come back, that would entail them signing the minute free agency ends to bring down their cap holds.

i think they should move parker to the bench and have him in a Vinnie Johnson role as a 6th man lighting shit up off the pine. If ginobli could put aside his ego and come off the bench for all of his career then parker should be able to do it the last 2 or 3 years of his career. He aint making it to 20 years.

yep. parker wasn't really injured, but sitting parker down won us that game 6. Parker groupies will deny it, but it's true.

More than Derek Anderson and TJ Ford put together

What about bringing back George Hill or Beno Udreh?

I wouldn't trade/let go either of them. Again, keep them both.
