Spurs free agency targets

[EricB]

I just fail to see how it would be bad.

he’s a free agent, Toronto chooses not to match his asking price, no one else does but SA does.

I guess I’m weird in that I don’t see the problem.

[EricB]

i think there would be speculation that the spurs pre-planned this contingency with poeltl... ie we are trading you now, but if xyz happens, you will sign back with us anyway. part of the raptors reasoning to send us the package they did was the goodwill that they can probably get a deal done to retain poeltl, and not for the spurs to try and snag him back

the raptors traded for him to make a run.

that failed, he’s a free. Agent, everything goes.

I guess I’m ignorant, but, I just don’t see how it would be bad

would I do it? Eh, maybe, depends on the price and the flexibility going forward, but then you have Bassey, Collins, etc, you’re overloaded on bigs in a wing league.

collins is going into the last year of his deal, and bassey, while under contract for 3 seasons, has no guaranteed money beyond this upcoming season

to be fair, we also have phlegm birch, but he's also on the last year of his deal

and after what Collins showed I don’t know if you move on. His abilities next to Wemby works better than Jacob.

spurs traded back for elliott and kerr

barry is the one they signed back, but wildly different situation from poeltl. the spurs gave the sonics a first in that deal, and the sonics waived barry, so its not like we "stole" him from anybody

here the raptors gave us a first (and two 2s) for jak

i mean its technically fair game, he's a FA, and they have the rights to pay him more than anybody else. but would definitely be frowned upon to snag him

i loved what collins showed too, and extending him is definitely an option they should be exploring. i think the appeal of jakob is the idea of a burlier defensive anchor allowing wemby to float around and be a help/weakside defender, as opposed to having him anchored down to an opposing big. collins competes but he's not as strong an anchor as a guy like poeltl. i think the best fit (as chinook first floated) could be Brook Lopez. can be the paint anchor on defense, but also provides spacing to allow wemby to get to work on offense

myles turner would have theoretically been a strong fit but the pacers finally went ahead and extended him

[Robz4000]

I'd still make a run at Poetlt tbh, but the depth the Spurs have at C (Collins, Bassey, Barlow) makes it less important than shoring up PG.

dno if barlow is really a center, but yeah we have guys. just not the ideal pairing with wemby, at least defensively. collins should mesh with him just well on offense.

not a fan of the FA point guard market this offseason though. kyrie isnt an option. fvv is gross. theres deangelo russell, but dno how much he's gonna cost, and cant imagine the lakers just let him walk

I'd run Jones at PG this upcoming season unless they swing for the fences in Scoot/Amen tbh. Agreed on the PG FA market this offseason (unless someone comes at a discount).

wonder what Tre's next contract looks like tbh

[Robz4000]

4/$36m imo

[4lifecowboy]

Trade for Jalen Brown. He doesn't want to be second fiddle in Boston.

Honestly, I think landing Wemby opens up this door now.

[CGD]

Stay the course and don’t over spend in weak FA or trade. If anything try to get into lottery and get your PG there imo

This is probably how the Spurs see it.

Only exception I see is whether there is an opportunity to consolidate some of the draft capital now to get another 1st round pick in THIS draft.

[RC_Drunkford]

I'm on board with the majority here. I don't want the Spurs to make win now moves. I want them to build a juggernaut. Being stuck with a 38-year old Dame Lillard getting 63 million is not that.

Cam Johnson, Grant Williams seem like nice targets. Poeltl would obviously be a great fit. Lopez too, but I don't want old guys starting. Makes no sense on this team. I'm in the camp of take on salary for assets and make sure you have enough cap space next season to go after Jaylen Brown. That seems somewhat realistic. Snag another player in this draft. Maybe add a vet PG if a good one on a decent contract becomes available. I'm just hyped tbh

Yeah, I think most likely scenarios next year is to see what Jones, Sochan, and Blake Wesley give you at the point and assess the next.

In any event you lock up Tre. He’s tremendous value as a back up.

[heyheymymy]

Nickeil Alexander-Walker
Jaxson Hayes
Saben Lee
Luka Garza
Jordan Goodwin
Neemias Queta

[rankingtear]

If Poeltl is a free agent, what’s so eye brow raising?

What am I missing?

So was Marcus Morris and the FO won't be doing business with them for the next few decades.

[Mr. Body]

Trade for Jalen Brown. He doesn't want to be second fiddle in Boston.

I think he also hates Boston.

[RC_Drunkford]

I could also see us bring in somebody from Europe. Weren't there rumours a couple years ago that we wanted Vasilije Micić? He's one of the best PGs in the Euro League and OKC owns his rights. Fairly tall for a PG too. 29 years old.

[Mr. Body]

If I thought the team really wanted to keep Jones before, it seems even more likely now.

Wesley may benefit from Wembanyama as much as any player. Not sure they'll play together a ton, but when they do, VW will pull all those shot blockers away.

I think it’s still too early to be paying that much in Wemby’s 1st two years. Spurs will wisely bring him out slowly until he’s NBA strong, and then we can start talking about pairing him with an All-Star(s). Patience will be the key.. and Pop is the best coach who sees the big picture.

[JPB]

A vet PG in the Mike Conley style would be nice (not saying spurs should trade for Conley).

I agree. Brown would for sure put this team on the treadmill.

I don’t dislike it. A mentor type who can bridge the next year or two
