A veteran center who could play meaningful minutes at times and could rejuvenate under Pop? Serge Ibaka.
Wait what? Who on the Spurs does what Grant Williams does? You can maybe make the argument Keldon somewhat, but Grant WIlliams is bigger, a better defender and a better shooter.

I'm not sure 40 year old Centers can be rejuvenated...
He is 33 years young.
Just my 2 cents, but my hoped for order of operations:
1. Offer Brook Lopez a big 2 year deal. Probably won't get him anyway.
2. If no Brook, immediately pivot to attempt to sign Reaves to his max allowable offer sheet (expect it to be matched)
3. Try to trade for Micic with a heavily protected first (top 25) that converts to 2 unremarkable seconds. Maybe 3/24, last year unguaranteed
4. Re-up Jones because there's no one else to spend money on. Hopefully no more than MLE equivalent, preferably less
5. Maybe sign either Yuta or KBD to a 1+1 starting at 5 to have more decent trade ballast
6. Take in expirings for picks
7. Roll into next season to see what's what
Not really into Poeltl coming back considering how he quit on the team and stopped trying to defend the rim
Other than Reaves I don't like the idea of tying up big money (greater than MLE) more than 2 years going out.
Then again, I loved John Collins so what do I know. Still like him and would have liked to trade for him except for his messed up hands ruining his three point shooting and that third year remaining is too much.
Is he really? Im not so sure....
There have long been questions about the veracity of his birth certificate
Who is this that you're referring to?
As for Ibaka, is he really only 33? That is shocking? Seems like he's closer to 40. That age/birth records must be off.
Love the fact that this board is thinking in so many different directions with no "favored path" because some of the "favored paths" of the past have been ing terrible (John Collins, Ben Simmons, etc).
John Collins would still be good IMO, had he never injured that hand.
Not a lot of holes in the roster assuming Tre Jones is probably coming back. They still need minutes for Branham, Vassell, Sochan to develop this year. I see the Spurs more facilitating moves for the other teams keeping flexibility for next offseason. They’ll know more how the pieces we have work with Wemby then. I think many will be disappointed with our moves.
What exactly do you think Grant Williams does? Do you think Keldon is the only player on the team?
Can Keldon catch DNP-CDs in the playoffs to make room for Sam Hauser or Payton Pritchard?
I like the idea of Jordan Clarkson. He’s from San Antonio. Good size for a combo guard. He can come off the bench or start and run point. There’s just not much out there for true point guards. Tre Jones will be important piece for the Spurs, and quite honestly there’s no one worth spending the bag on. While Wesley is young and still needs to develop it’s worrisome if he’s the answer at back up point guard.
Wemby did say that Westbrook was his favorite player...
I think you’re generally right. I’d be very pleased if the outcome is that they acquired an asset or two by helping facilitate a salary dump or deal. I do think they’ll spend on a big tho.
Supposedly Micic can play defense, at least according to a recent Thunder podcast about potential trades
Well said couldn't agree nobody on the spurs does wt Williams does at all let alone his playoff experience and youth being on his side. Grant Williams please!!!

Outside the Thunder bubble, he's widely described as a poor and slow defender even against European players.
I'm for trading a couple 2nd's for him and signing him for about $8M/yr, but lets not pretend he's a defensive plus. You have to play a couple rim protectors behind him to cover for deficiencies there and we can do that.
What about Ricky Rubio? Always thought he’d be a good spur, can’t imagine the Cavs value him that much
that will be the last time i bring my intel to spurstalk.....this site is ungrateful for actual scoops......some other site will appreciate my intel......
This Micic can play
Could we get him.?
