Spurs free agency targets

[Big Empty]

Timeline is everything for a GM... Spurs are not gonna jeoperdize their future and lose most of their best assets for maybe 2 good years of a 6"2 Lillard who never really did aynthing in the NBA than stat pad.. That does't make sense, spurs are not gonna ring in that span and you don't get your assets back at the end...

100% $55 million, tied up for a few years for and older 6’2 pg, insurance FRPs gone incase Wemby gets hurt…NOPE

[cutewizard]

Is Jevon Carter good.?

[LeBowen]

Is Jevon Carter good.?

Poor man's Patty Mills.

[rankingtear]

Is Jevon Carter good.?

Poor man's pat bev.

[couchman]

I wish Reaves was more of a possibility.
He’ll be a heck of a PG for a while in this league.
Dillard won’t happen for a lot of obvious reasons

[KobesAchilles]

Yes, timeline matters. By the time Wemby is ready to dominate starting in his third year, Lillard will be 35+ and on the downslope. Who cares what he can do now at age 33? Why completely over the Spurs’ roster in the latter half of the 2020’s paying $60+ million to Dame’s corpse just so the Spurs can go 45-37 next year?

you literally said exactly what I said. Nice job.

When I mean timeline doesn’t matter, I meant it as age of players don’t matter. Like people saying Klay doesn’t fit the timeline. Or CP3 doesn’t fit the timeline. We are going to have to have older vets on the team regardless. They might as well be good while we are at it bc our youth isn’t very good. They aren’t bad. But they aren’t good yet either. Having proven commodities helps us as a team and a locker room.

And when a young player is ready for a trade then Spurstalk s on them saying they are losers. KAT is ready for a trade. Spurstalk: “he’s a loser.” Randle will be up for a trade soon. Spurstalk: he’s a loser. Meanwhile we have a team that went 22-60 and yet everyone of our youth is a winner, going to be an all star, underrated, arnt as bad as their record, and whatever other bs you want. So older proven commodities “don’t fit our timeline.” Younger unproven commodities (who are still all stars) are losers that we shouldn’t want. And our players who led us to our worst record ever (maybe 2nd worst) never made an all star team, have a buncha flaws to them, are the baby bear porridge of the lot. Gotcha

[rjv]

some of them aren't just losers though. KAT, for instance, would be a terrible fit for this squad.

[Leetonidas]

Lmao. Poverty franchise

[John B]

Is Jevon Carter good.?

We already have Tre at backup PG

[kobyz]

Is Jevon Carter good.?

Tre Jones with elite 3 point shot

Timeline as in if this were 2025 or 2026, trading for a 33-year-old veteran All-Star whose contract is going to suck in two years might be worth it because there’s a chance to win a championship or two.

It’s a homer forum, what can I say. All rotation players are future All-Stars, all marginal players are diamonds in the rough, and every other team’s players suck, at least until the Spurs acquire them, at which point they are great.

Also, every other team’s forums that do the exact same things are full of irrational idiots for us to laugh at.

ST can very much be a homer's forum but it also has more than it's fair share of contrarians.

well, we dont. he's a free agent. and if signed, will again be the presumptive starter. i dont think the gap between them is significant at all. if its true that Tre is expecting something in the 4/45 range or more than that, then i'd of course explore alternatives who would come on better deals.

[Obstructed_View]

Lol so awesome.

[spurraider21]

vanvleet from a few years ago was a very good player. but even that version isn't worth 40+ mil per year, let alone the version we've seen the last 2 seasons. rox are banking on a bounceback and then some if thats the case

then again, 2 years isnt long at all, and the rockets core guys arent going to be due for big money in that window anyway. still, seems like a weird place to blow that much of your league leading cap space

[Atl Spur]

Prob a 1 year deal with team option 2nd year.

[Extra Stout]

Since there now are penalties for failing to reach the salary floor, overpaying on short-team deals can be a savvy move.

[Mr. Body]

Why would you pay FVV $40 million to shoot the ball for the Rockets when everyone else is already shooting the ball?

[cutewizard]

Pathetic Rockets

[spurraider21]

Why would you pay FVV $40 million to shoot the ball for the Rockets when everyone else is already shooting the ball?

because he can also be a reasonable distributor who has a history of being a plus defender, even though that hasnt been the case in the last year or two

even if everything goes right he's not worth that number, but hes not just some blind chucker (usually)

[BacktoBasics]

This isn’t as bad as people make it out to be if it’s a two year deal. They gotta use the money somehow and they’re looking to at least push for the playin.

But since it’s ST I’ll reiterate that he’s definitely not worth 40 million a year and I’m in no way expressing or implying that he’s a good signing.

[Mr. Body]

Someone should put a reel together of Eric Gordon looking absolutely beyond frustrated playing for the Rockets last year and send it to Fred.

i dont want to dissuade him from signing there

[Mr. Body]

Eric Gordon is a FA, btw.
