Sounds like RC is making a lot of room for a big F/A. Something is cooking. So much euro stash movement in 1 off season. It may or may not be KD but they see a solution and are aligning the cards for it.

Can only be KD.............
may it be, may Durant arrive at the shores of the Spurs universe:
let's wish for it with this spell:

I noticed Team USA being displayed somewhere today, that might be where the interview takes place??
Spurs are gonna in the off season with some choice to make...about who's gonna fil the spots.
I'm of the idea that our three player option guys (West, Manu and Tim) could all three sign for the minimum...in case of a big free agent signing (Durant is the obvious call).
Considering this, for having the necessary cap space there are only three ways:
a) trading Parker for anything that does not mean salary (ex. 2017 till 2025 draft choices)(not probable...he's one of the old big three);
b) trade Green for anything see above (possible but hurting...less hurting in case of a Durant signing 'cause kd can play the wings and big guard role);
c) trade Mills + Diaw for anything see above (more probable
That said, considering that at least five places will be taken from "costing players" (Leonard, Alridge, Green, Parker and the new one hoping Durant) ore in case a) or b) six players (coming Diaw + Mills instead of one of Green and Parker), Spurs have to fill 9 to ten spots...
and then, probably, they have the chance to do that from lots of minimum players with great value (Duncan, Gino, West in case one, two or all of them returns...like imho is more than probable), or very good value at least (Lorbek if he's considered valuable after his coming back, Simmons, probably Bertans and Hanga, plus possibly Lalanne and Ndoye) and from lots of draft choices with little money to give them because of their high draft number (LJC, Milutinov, Murray).
These will all gonna be money not touching the cap (minimum contracts) or, in case of the draft choices, touching it in a very limited way...the only exception being Marjanovic whose contract, however, will be, in any case, limited for the money...
all this just for saying that our F.O. and trainers will have a lot of work to do this summer for evaluating and signing the right players...because we're gonna be plenty of options.
Obviously, the main focus goes to free agency...all starts with the big free agent that, seeing the moves we've made till now, we're probably gonna covet...
