Official 2017 Offseason Thread

I'll be shocked if Gasol isn't the starting center next year with Manu STILL our sixth man. I don't expect anything different.

Yes, you should kill yourself.

Rudy Gay, CP, Hill, etc.. Spurs have been linked to plenty. Just saying neither the Spurs or GS has actually added to their teams just yet (not surprising the two best teams are patient and less pressured to make moves for the sake of it when they are both great).

I will bet you that SA adds a player or two that are new as well.

I agree with your sentiment of them always looking to improve but i don't think they really added to their team so far.

He'd be referring to Durant staying and the old team doing their thing.
Is that hard to understand?

This team (the Spurs).. I think this year should be a throwaway.
See if LMA gets happier, but I don't think that will happen and watch the kids.

See how the team develops and go from there next year. Pop will give a few years left to see the team grow and go from there.

I meant linked to anyone as serious threats to sign said player. There hasn't been much to these rumors so far as far as anyone can tell.

Murray - not a great defender, but obviously has the physical tools and can learn.

Danny - all nba level defender and stud

Hanga - question mark but his game is defensive

Simmons - made tremendous strides on defense.

White - was decent in college defensively - question mark at nba level, but obviously should have some defenseive tools.

We also have Mills/Forbes/Tony who no longer play defense well, but at least they can shoot. However, SA has a lot more defensive guards now than before.

Then at the wing position with Simmons/Danny/Kawhi/Blossomgame and then hopefully a wing like Casspi or CJ Miles, that could look damn good.

Losing Dedmon hurts the defense, but hopefully that can be addressed as well.

so long as you don't put Kyle on any of your so called dream scenarios, you are just dreaming dude.

a lot of those rookies are untested. Kyle just came from a terrific playoff showing. If you have all those dudes over him, you are just not being realistic at all.

What looks worse and worse is 12 mill a year for a 6'0" shooter who is not Ray Allen clutch... then do that X 4 years... ughhhh

Huh? How do you take that as some Kyle slight (especially when I've been on the Kyle bandwagon). That was a list of guards and SF's. Kyle is a PF in my mind.

We weren't linked to anyone this time last year and got Dedmon and Lee AKA Dedlee

But I guess if Mills is getting laugher money while the team crumbles then Faried will fit right in

Faried or Harkless/ Davis.

Trade LA to PHX for Chriss or MIA 18 1st

Then soak up Harkless/ Davis or Faried w/ 1st attached.

Who you got?

well your mind is not Pop's mind, I will give you this... no one knows truly what he is in anyone's mind bc Pop will play him all over the place.
I'd like for his last season in the team to at least get a set role and see what he does there.

but for your comment.. you mentioned blossomgame who is sort of a forward honestly.

Not Ray Allen clutch, but never put in a Ray Allen situation...
Stop.


No...Ray was put in a catch and shoot moment and it was natural.

He did what he was supposed to do what to do.

He made it,

Put Your boy in that same situation: You feel he can make that shot? Then keep him

The team and he will take them there.

---

I don't think you quite understand what's required to guard or play the 3? Bulk up?!? Lol

You're arguing with a poster that was saying Simmons shouldn't jump over Fathead in the rotation because he hasn't "earned it".... Now he/she wants to give Fathead gift minutes ahead of potentially better players :lol

Lee was a nice surprise. We can only hope the Spurs sign someone with at least a Lee type impact. :lol

Blossomgame - He's a SF. I've been advocating for Kyle to start at PF. Whether Pop see's that or not is not the point - it was not a Kyle slight :lol

Maybe since CP3 was off the table, who knows. He may have been plan B or C to keep someone familiar with the system.

There are a lot of PF/C available. Hell, I can see Dedmon coming back too and then they add Muli

Z-Bo still available.

Murray would have to bulk up. He would get bullied by other threes. He has the height, but not the weight to play the 3.
