Spurs free agency targets

[Mr. Body]

I would love a palace in the Himalayas.

Miami is totally leaking all of this Lillard stuff, Call me crazy but I really think all this media manipulation causes players to be yeah you know what im out...

Lillard Heat trade provides an opportunity to come in and take Lowry for 1 year

Sengun is listed at 6'9, 235.
He shouldn't start at C, at least not yet.

If we get a big, it should be someone with range, but getting Jakob back would be hillarious. Raptors would go in full meltdown mode.

I just hope we don't get FVV, can't stand him.

Allegedly, he grew 2 inches, but I don't believe that. One of the reasons he dropped out of the lottery was that he's too small to play the 5, and being a C+ NBA athlete, can't defend today's PFs. He's got a ton of skills, just no position.

I wouldn't hate it, depending on the asset(s) attached. He'd be at least mildly useful, unlike the dead cap Luol Deng we got in the CHI trade two years ago.

My low friction, vet PG cap rental list is this:

Mike Conley - 35
Kyle Lowry - 37
Jrue Holiday - 33

I have Holiday last, because I consider him the least available. I don't think MIL moves him unless Middleton bolts, and they want a trade exception to re-tool with somewhat younger players. If he's actually available, he goes to the top of my list.

LOL for what if they're keeping Bam and Jimmy? Yeah let me trade you my franchise player for Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro.

Yep. No way this can work without, y'know, trading actual pieces.

[Mr. Body]

I would be up for Lowry for a year. He's still a good player, has tons of experience, can start.

But I think his expiring contract is going to be useful to some team who isn't simply looking to absorb salary.

The problem is, Miami really needs that salary off their books. They need it to be absorbed.

even if Holiday were to become available, he's the type of guy they'd still want actual assets for, as opposed to Lowry who at this point is a cap burden. i'd like either of Lowry or Conley. but with Miami wanting to make a splash move, seems thats the most obvious route for the Spurs to rent a PG while they give Wesley/Graham another year to show what they've got

Not sure if mentioned, but finally. FINALLY, the Hawks traded Jollins to the Jazz for Gay and a SRP.

[jesterbobman]

I don't think renting cap space is a good idea unless it's only for one year, as having some capspace could be really useful next summer if the Spurs make an all-in move on a non free agent vet with the Atlanta picks.

Yeah, short term cap space renting is fine, I wouldn't take on long term bad contracts (e.g, Ben Simmons) unless the asset overpay was egregious (all the Phoenix picks? Welcome to San Antonio , Mr Ben Simmons' contract - but that's not happening).
Now that the Hawks have traded John, most of the tax teams have contracts that are 1 year at money that they might want to move on from - Lowry, Batum, Fournier, Conley etc.

Naz Reid was expected to generate no shortage of interest in free agency from teams possessing the full non-taxpayer midlevel exception of $12.4 million — I’m told Dallas was among them — and possibly more from teams with salary cap space. The Spurs, league sources say, are another Texas team that would have had interest in Reid had he made it to free agency

Didn't he just resign?

[duncan2150]

Didn't he just resign?

Yes

[Mr. Body]

Man, I hope we can absorb some dumb contracts and get more assets. Feelin' greedy.

[BackHome]

Utah just got Collins and Hawks got Rudy Gay and a second round pick..rowlf

[kobyz]

i think Toronto and Denver are two teams who would target a deal for him

[TP2150]

Do you think the Spurs would consider Kyle Kuzma? I saw that he traveled to Franch to meet Wemby. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cso1ndDS9zV/

[Mr. Body]

I legit think Pop would kill Kyle Kuzma before long.

I remember the hard on SpursTalk had on this guy, and then they act all picky when it comes to a HoF PG on a rental for a couple of years.

“I didn’t know him at all and in all honesty watching him play now and then during the season I didn’t see a lot of rhyme and reason to what he was doing,” Popovich said. “He looked like a young Manu (Ginobili), he was running around, energetic and willing and working hard, but he had no idea what was going to happen.”

This is hilarious. It's like he's a ty Manu Ginobili.

Not sure if it was a hard on, but at the very least there was a lot of back and forth in the forum about trading for him or signing him to a contract. I remember when it was announced they signed Zollins, a lot of posters complained they signed the wrong Collins. Might’ve been accurate then, since it was considered a gamble. Thus far though, it seems to have paid off and currently at least, it seems we have the right (and maybe even better) Collins.

Oh, this forum was freaking obsessed with John Collins.
