Maybe the Spurs should just max out Ezili and call it an offseason :lol.
Ezeli is a no name scrub, so he'd probably like that move :lol

Conley has been trying to develop a reliable 3 pt shot for a decade::lol

Michael Conley Jr.'s camp has concerns about his fit with Parker, per Tim MacMahon.

Ezeli was emasculate in the Finals like 2013 Tiago, the only scrub I want is Biyombo who was having his way against the Cavs frontline including LeBron.:lol

Some team is going to pay stupid money for him, he's a career 8 & 10 guy if he's lucky :lol

He's worth Tristan Thompson type money especially considering Softridge doesn't want to do the dirty work.:lol

“For someone like (Biyombo), I think when you look at a guy like Tyson Chandler and what he got from Phoenix last summer (four years, $52 million), that’s where you start for a contract,” one Eastern Conference GM told Sporting News. “But you factor in the cap spike and it’s probably going to be high, I’d say, $16-17 million. It’ll be a heck of a $17 million-per-year gamble.”
TT is not worth his contact. Gilbert and Lebron went all in for that title, and just got it. Lebron will try and defend his title. After that, the cavs are stuck with awful contracts.

tp is not worth 14 million as a sixth man.
simmons can break down a defense and finish better anyways.

Fucking Knicks fucking their shit up per par, but not in our favor. They were kind enough to take Malik, and now our Parker dreams of leaving are gone. Send him somewhere out East so he can stat-pad and get an ASG nod...

Conley has a reliable 3, even when he was the only outside threat on the entire team. He is also one of the best defensive guards in the game. Keep in mind they have always been an inside team with Gasol and Randolph working as facilitators just as much as him.
Are you arguing against getting him?

Let’s see who wins the “Dumb GM of the Summer. You never spend big money on a guy that has only had one good season, which happens to be in his contract year.The smart GM (in this case, Toronto) pays low on the gamble.That’s when you invest in a player like this.You never do it when the gamble is at the highest price.

That's exactly what the Cavs did with Tristan, right?:lol

Yeah, Parker is costing the Spurs Conley because he gave himself a nice big, fat, juicy extension :lmao.

Lebron got Tristen that contract. David Griffin wanted no part of it thus, the reason it took the Cavs until October to sign him.

Tristan ended up outplaying Love & being their 3rd best player in the Finals after Biyombo outplayed him in the ECF.:lol
Biyombo getting 17 mill is nothing in an offseason where Harrison Barnes might get 20 mill.:wakeup

Of course, I did say a gamble. Sometimes it works out and usually it doesn't. That said, Tristan is a solid player, but I don't think he's underpaid and probably overpaid, though he certainly was a key piece for that team.

Again, an average starter is going to get 15 mill & Biyombo PROVED he was better than an average starter while going up against QUALITY opponents. It's not like there is such a thing as fluke rim protection/rebounding, which are his assets. He is also as mobile as Tristan.
A gamble would be paying someone like Biyombo based on his per 36 production when he's averaging 10 MPG like Ezeli.:lol

Then, it's pretty simple really. If Durant stays in OKC, it's a no brainer spending money to max out Conley since mid tier scrubs like Barnes can be had for roughly the same price. Doesn't matter if they have $40M committed to the point guard position, you roll with it and hope Parker can be productive off the bench. :wakeup
