official offseason thread

[BackHome]

One player I'd love us to sign is Christian Wood from the Pistons. He's 24, 7'3'' wingspan, shoots 38.6 % from 3, a good roller, athletic, lob thread, fast running the floor, ORtg 123 DRtg 110. He's a free agent and was on a 1.5 million dollar contract. Undrafted player who played in the G-League. Should definitely be available for MLE type money and would fit perfectly at starting PF.

Kid has some nice hops.

I wanted Woods two seasons ago. He had some serious character issues though.

So, with Brown being fired Jonathon Simmons tweeted: "Bout time they fired his ass"

Guess the old Spur comradeship is not in full force everywhere.

Yeah, that was really weird and pointlessly hostile. Just looked it up, and he only played 15 RS and 7 playoff games for Philadelphia.

I wanted us to sign him as an undrafted free agent a few years back.

Me too. I actually wanted him in the draft, along with Upshaw and both the Holmeses

Bad as the optics are, in money and power terms this would be a perfect time for the owners to lock the players out again and really bend them over a barrel.

[BackHome]

As much money as they lost this year and probably next year it would probably be the correct business move for them.

Yeah, Wood would have been a steal in the 2nd round. I remember seeing a couple of mock drafts with us getting him in the 20's.

That was the 2015 draft when the Spurs pissed away their pick on Miluntov. I was most upset with Harrell, but even if half those bigs busted, they'd've been better uses of the pick than selecting a guy with the goal of saving money.

I like him too but someone is definitely offering him more than the MLE.

I wanted Wood with that pick and was pissed when we passed on him and then let another team sign him as a UDFA.

Cue the rumors the Pacers want to talk to Pop.

[spurspl]

pop gettin us a 1st rnd pick is the best what he can do for spurs right now.

[exstatic]

Hollinger has twice suggested Spurs send Rudy Gay to Golden State for Andre Iguodala's trade exception. He thinks a second round pick + trade exception would suffice. Seems light to me. Maybe a pair of seconds or Paschall or Smailagic? Any thoughts on Gay's value?

The exception would be helpful toward retaining Poeltl.

The last time we rented 10 digiits worth of caproom for a year, we sent GS a first to eat the last year of RJs contract. If they take Rudy’s last year, and actually send us anything, we come out ahead.

Spurs not giving up on Murray this early.

It’s not that early.

The exception would not only help toward retaining Poeltl, but can swing a trade after next offseason (not sure how th year period will work) without using cap space.

Alternatively, they can help another team get under the tax by taking on a salary into that trade exception and get yet another asset ... so long as they stay under the tax themselves.

With GS getting second pick I think they will trade this and get a number of players who will immediately help make them favorites again. So I don’t really think they will be in play to land Rudy this summer.

I think that's optimistic. Very few players are good enough to warrant the second-overall pick while also fitting in the TE. They'd probably have to trade Wiggins, and that's going to add a lot of negative value to the deal. I could still easily see Gay being the best GS can do. But I also don't put it past them to just draft a player. Maybe they move down a bit, but they look like the type of team that'll at least want to see how they are healthy and with some young blood before making a contending trade. It's not clear they aren't already good enough.

With Marks in NJ interesting Brett Brown is not even an afterthought with the prior Spurs connection

Well this is a wild ass conspiracy theory with no evidence to base it on but, since Brown did his best when the 6ers had really young talent maybe the plan is for Pop to go to Brooklyn for picks and Brown come in and groom the young guys as we rebuild....maybe bringing Atkinson or Forcier with him?
