From award winning to stupid and helpless. I guess all the wins don't equal cash. How do you make no moves? Sign a crap shooting guard that can't defend, got a guy who doesn't want to play here, and a PG that can't defend and is slow has molasses. Did I forget stupid DG who can't shoot or dribble and knows they want to get rid of him.
Maybe RC can bring Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, Dennis Rodman, Hakeem, Drob, Timmy out of retirement and sign them for $1 mill a piece. Call Kukoc and see if he wants to come off the bench with Manu. Hire Phil Jackson as an assistant coach/player. Why stop there, give Larry Bird a call and see if he is up to playing again.
Or there is always signing George Hill.
Damn was really hoping FO can convince Millsap
The FA market was crap. There was no quick fix available.
They couldn't open $30 mil in cap space. The only option was to dump Aldridge and getting less salary back but it seems like this failed.
It did look like they were preparing to use cap space on a FA but seeing the contracts given out I don't see which player they could have got. If they've missed on their targets it's more likely that they operate over the cap, bring back everyone, bar Dedmon, and eventually use the MLE on a big and perhaps the BAE on Hanga/Lee.
Probably looking towards Europe. Anyhow they prob seen Kawhi go to warp level 4000 with his improvement since season end and didn't bother going downtown to see what was available.
Unless the Spurs dumped Aldridge, there wasn't much flexibility. Overpaying Mills and planning to give Gasol a long term contract was not a good start. Let's hope the Spurs refrain from giving up any more long term cap space. All they have to do is be patient and wait for Aldridge, gasol, and Parker's salaries to be off the books in 2018, or at least significantly reduced.
Wolves dumped that Rubio contract and got a first round pick in return
All these superteams are dumping big contracts with ease.... and LMA's contract isn't even that bad compared to what some role players are getting. Danny would be even easier to dump.
Lets be real. Drunkford hasn't even tried so far.
Rubio is five year younger than aldridge and he had a good finish during the season, you can't compare that to a so so aldridge this year.Wolves dumped that Rubio contract and got a first round pick in return

He's the worst shooter in the leagueAldridge is better than him and I hate Aldridge
Maybe the could have done a sign and trade with Hawks for LMA.
Agree with that Aldridge is better but if i'm an FO i prefer to have a rubio than an aldridge this offseason. If Aldridge had a strong finish that would be different.He's the worst shooter in the league
Only if the hawks wanted Aldridge. He doesn't make much sense for them.
I am stunned by the inactivity as well ... Spurs look like Mavericks in recent years where Plan A, B, C etc. did not work so Cuban just threw his money at anybody who was left ... Spurs won't do the latter, but it still looks like this offseason gets an F rating
We don't know what moves they tried.. Dudes in here acting like their on the inside an know everything. Just because no one came here, doesn't mean they didn't try. It's not thei t fault LMA is a pussy an dropped his stock.(They could dump Parker but still)..We don't know.
There is alot of over paying going on. Warriors are in the perfect situation. Paying K Thompson and D Green pennies on the dollar 15m a year for the next 3 years. They are top 15 talent. You cant match that overpaying above average players 30 million a year. Some teams have gotten better but still not on that level. i want to see change too but dont want the Spurs to tie up their capspace in the years to come desperately signing anyone just for the sake of making a move. Paul George will be a free agent again next year. We still are a playoff team that can beat anyone. Im happy waiting for a legit star to play beside kawhi
Has it occurred to anyone that maybe the Spurs thought giving ,going on 33 yrs old, Millsap 30% of the salary cap was a very bad idea?
I really wish Spurs operated with less feelings involved. If Belichick, the best GM in pro sports, was in charge, Parker would be waived & stretched and theres no way he offers Patty 50 million the first second of Free Agency.
Hill and Rose are currently jobless. If Spurs waited it out, instead of giving 50 million to an inferior option, Spurs probably get Hill for the same money and actually make gains towards GS. Re signing Mills does not improve this team on the court.. , he cant even be on the floor and is unplayable vs the Warriors.

Please stop creating more FAIL threads... Calm down and PATFO... what the do you know about what they are doing? and if they aren't you have to trust their record
these I-am-having-meltdown threads are full of FAIL and I just laugh at some of the regulars spilling their tears in here... pathetic...
I'm not bent on any moves they have or have not made. I wish they would've dumped Parker an made a play for Taj Gibson, but hey... I think teams are over reacting tryna build a "Superteam" an it ain't gonna work. GS is a special team, an each an every player loves to play defense an share the ball. Curry isn't the best defender, but they hide him well. Houston will probably be a #2 seed, but will still lose to the Spurs. Idk if we could get Dedmon back, but if he was having issues with Pop, it wouldn't make sense to bring him back. But I feel the Spurs aren't done making moves. I think once players can actually sign on the line, they'll start moving pieces... Why be a an dump Parker just cuz, why Trade DG if you're not for sure his replacement his signed or if you don't know if Manu is returning. You can not lose Parker, Danny, an Manu in the same off-season. That's basically tanking. Chemistry makes up for some kinda lack of talent!
Spurs need to sign Derrick Rose, like really, really bad. Nevermind Hill. Sign Drose to a 1 year deal and see how it works out.
Either the Spurs never tried Hill, or they lowballed the outta him! I'd take Rudy Gay though. Especially if Houston gets Melo.
Spurs dont need another PG now. They didnt even need to pay up for an average PG option like Patty -- they just paid 50 million for the needle to remain in the same place.
If Spurs were going to spend, they should have spent on an upgrade at the position -- where the needle actually moves.
They really blew their load with Patty. Smh
Signing Patty and Simmons offer show their highest priority was to bring the same team back. They may have salary dumped someone of a player they wanted was willing to come. But they'll likely bargain shop in two weeks after all the highly coveted players are gone.
And maybe they tried. The media and fans don't hear about everything that PATFO does. And besides that, with Millsap now signed, there may be interest in LMA.
Bringing back same team is not moving needle though.
Culture is a great thing until you overvalue it.
Should have waited out PG situation and got value on shorter contract for an upgrade -- not overpay a situation for sideways move for 4 years
