I agree, Lakers will definitely match. That's why I want someone to offer him the 99/4 sheet.
Reaves isn't leaving the Lakers. Any team that signs him to an offer sheet is just upping the price for Jeanie but they'll match. Has an at ude built for the Lakers as well tbh. He'll get a big contract then will probably get traded in a year or two

Josh Richardson is without a contract, btw.
Dont mind him back along with poelti
Speaking of the Lakers, the Spurs liked Hachimura a lot during his draft. I know we have Wemby/Sochan/Collins but I think his skillset would fit pretty damn nicely with those guys. He's also much more gettable than Reaves.
I wouldn’t mind giving Mason Plumlee a 1 year pay day if he’s interested.
I’d still sign Reaves to an offer sheet to make the lakers match. But you want to make it big enough to make them consider not matching. They’d match 4/70 for sure. Once you get past 80-85 they’d have to really think about it. I’m not suggesting going as high as 100 but I’d go in at or near 80
assuming the lakers promptly match redirect efforts toward brolo or plumlee
Poison Pill was that thing that made trading Keldon harder. It's the Arenas provision here. The Spurs would still be paying Reaves the max in years three and four. His cap hit is smoothed, but the cash is still given out that way. For the Lakers, the cash and cap hit are the same each year. The Rockets kept Asik for two years when his cash hit was cheap and then dumped him during that last expensive year. Those last two years could be when the Spurs have a much larger salary commitment to other players, and the Holts seem to struggle with cash availability. It's something to consider. I don't know for sure that the new CBA didn't get rid of this, but that is the current rule as far as I can tell.
If you really need a hold-over at point, like really realy feel you need a hold-over, just get Richardson back. He's a good dude, he'll shoot the ball, he'll come off the bench. Done.
Or just recognize that Graham can do this, too.
No need to spend wild money on players who aren't worth it.
I kinda like Seth Curry as a cheap-ish vet but kind of redundant with Graham here
I get it now. You can smooth it to not a have a poison pill restriction on the third year Haven't read about the cash hit, sounds like something ownership won't do for a player like Reaves.
Spurs need to spend quite a bit to reach the salary floor right? Like 30ish million? Assuming no trade happens that needs their help with cap space.
Richardson seems like the perfect vet for our team now, and has some corporate knowledge. Not sure of his interest in returning.
Lavine would have been a perfect second star but has proven he can’t stay healthy so is no longer worth even considering, IMO.
Giving Reeves a monster 4-year deal just seems like a panic move.
Spurs need chaos to work in their favor and for some real shake up. I have a feeling these upcoming FA classes that look promising will fizzle out, like they always do.
Jordan Clarkson, maybe
That’s what I’m wondering.
Tre’s new deal will help some, but they still need to pay some one.
I’d like Harrison Barnes on the team as mentor and key reserve, and more so on a short term deal. If Mike Conley became available via trade, he’s another I’d love on the team in a similar capacity.
This will definitely be an interesting free agency. While I dont see the spurs spending big bucks they got to bring in some vets right?!
Yeah, I see a number of teams giving inflated one year deals (maybe with partially guaranteed second years or team options), for this reason. Spurs are one of them.

Sounds like Micic is for sure coming over.
Lol “save that money”
Same BS different year
If this board had its way, we'd be paying these players $45 million/season each:
Tobias Harris
Ben Simmons
Zach Lavine
John Collins
Deandre Ayton
And we'd be stuck with these guys as centers:
Kai Jones
Mo Bamba
Like Tyus Jones a lot but we have his brother lol would be weird to trade for him and make Tre his backup
Either way Spurs need to spend to reach the floor by day 1. Not saying we overpay but may as well improve a position if possible. If there’s a vet out there that is worth a 1 year 15-20 mil contract, the spurs should go for it.

if you had your way we'd play with 5 non shooters. I'm sure that's a winning recipe
