...or does he bolt?
http://hoopshype.com/salaries/san_antonio_spurs/
Only major question I see with the team's current salary #s.
This assumes Gay will take his PO of 8.8M, and so the team's booked salary for next year would allow for adding one or two decent players, or one awesome FA and one scrub.
*Also assumes we let 2/3 of Kyle, Bert and Forbes walk, as 1-2 of them would likely get some stupid offer like 5-10M. And we replace with equally replacement-level dudes, then just have White/vet min dude replace their spot in the rotation. Also assumes Kawhi is not a steaming pile of shit on the bench or in NYC, and actually plays a role for the Spurs next season (disregarding the possibility of a blockbuster trade, or a crazy nice draft pick that ends up playing a real role).
Well that shouldn't be so hard. Just go to a local LA Fitness.Quote:

Many factors.
Danny changed his agent. Does the new guy think there is a market for Danny over 10M next season?
Could Spurs offer him a new deal?
If the Spurs really want to trade Kawhi, and Danny leaves...Could they get someone like Bradley?
I'd like Danny to stay.
Probably. This hasn't been a great year for him so far. Although he should make an all defensive team for the second straight season. Ha also loves SA. Danny really is a system player. 76ers could use him.
I think the Kawhi thing is going to be a story at least at the end of the season/beginning of FA for PATFO. They will have to decide if they are going to offer him the SuperMax. Then if the offer is extended (or not) and Kawhi is still up in the air, it could cause the FO to look at options for a post-Kawhi Spurs future, like letting Green go and adding Bradley or some other 3-D guy (of which there will be plenty). I also don't think Green will command some stupid amount like in years past, because teams will be saving for the LeBroom/PG sweepstakes.Quote:

That being said...I'm betting he opts out and tries to see what he can get.
He played good this afternoonQuote:

I suspect that in the end, he will opt in.
Agree. He improved this season, it gives him some value in the market. Could the Spurs keep him if they want to re-sign Parker + Danny opts in?Quote:

Danny will get offered a lot more than he's worth by some team because he holds the record for 3's in the Finals and because he's a great defender in transition. There are 29 other teams that could use someone like him and are willing to pay. He doesn't make headlines for the wrong reasons and he's liked by Lebron, so he could be considered bait, like Patty Mills for LMA tbh fwiw.
I'm pretty sure Curry broke the record when they lost to the Cavs in the 2016 finals.Quote:

Not that the size of the QO really matters, I am sure we are going to be operating above the cap (unless Lebron actually wants to come here and we have to figure out how to make space...).Quote:

I think both sides would be fine continuing this if it's in their best interests. Like Danny probably opts in if he's looking at significantly less money, and the team probably thinks the salary is fine. Green seems willing to take less to bring in big-time talent, so I think if the team makes the moves necessarily to add an impact guy, Green might take a below-market long-term deal again. Also I still wouldn't rule out an extension, especially if he opts in. Something like a three-year extension starting at $10 Million and decreasing (so $25.2M/3 with the final year only being $2.4 Million guaranteed) That way, Danny gets what amounts to a new $30M/3 deal and the team gets an option for a final year for $5 Million.
I'd trade Patty and keep everyone else.
Trade Pau too if you are RC
I don't know if there will be a big market for him, though he is a swing defender that can shoot threes and like it or not, that has a lot of value in today's game. But if the money isn't there, it is just as likely he jumps ship for another team that has a better chance of winning a title.
Danny has been an All-Time great Spur and I hope he stays.
Murray, DG, Kawhi, Anderson, LMA would be a scary defensive unit tbh, love to actually have a chance to see it next season.
Gasol is over paid but productive and essentially only has a year remaining after this season. I am fine with him, Mills is a different story though.Quote:

Sounds like a great excuse for PATFO to extend Parker for 3 @ $15mil per.Quote:

And he's not that, but he is a vet so he got paidd I saidQuote:

I can't imagine any team giving him more than 1 yr contracts at at time. He's slow, done and has no lift. Culture, smulture. The Spurs need better talent at this point.Quote:
