Pick up Giddy at the deadline
Retire Pop
Hire Doc Rivers
Sign CP3 in the summer
Trade KJ
Hire a real shooting coach
Even when (if?) they draft a PG in the upcoming draft, they shouldn't count on any being day one lead guards; specifically the two I suspect they'll focus on, Proctor and Topic.
They also obviously shouldn't go through another season with some combination of Sochan, Jones and said player attempting to do it by committee.
Instead, target Quickley in a sign and trade with Jones + one of the lesser 1sts.
Then sign Mills (relax, he's a deep bench player at this point) to re-take on the precious role of culture carrier.
Move Sochan back to forward, play Wembanyama more at C and if the Craptors 1st conveys, hopefully address wing and stop selecting non shooters.

Doc is one of the most overrated coaches.
I also don’t think Quickley is the answer at pg. He’s not really a pg.
I’d look at the Raptors Schroeder as a reasonable target. White or Caruso from Chicago might be available. Rubio might be nearing a point where he’s ready to return as well but he might be fully cooked that this point.
The problem is that vet pgs are in high demand for contenders.
A ready made vet pg and a potential next generation pg in the draft is a good idea.
I'm on board with making a run at Quickley. He can play PG and he feels underutilized in Thibs' system. Seems like one of those guys that goes somewhere else and really takes off in a different situation.
Doc is overrated for winning championships. But for getting teams in the playoffs, there’s no better option than him. Dude carried trash Clipper teams to the playoffs. The Spurs just need experience in the dance. And doc can get them there (unlike Pop).
CP3 on a one year 30 million deal will do it for us.
Coc's even worse than Pop. I'd take bible thumping Mark Jackson over him. Tom coaching this team would be worst case scenario.
New York says “Naaaah”.
Doc Rivers is one of the worst coaches in history. He survived for 15 years longer than he should have because of one summer’s worth of trades that led to a le he had little to do with.
Hard pass.
Pick up Giddy? Sure.
Retire Poop? Definitely.
Hire Doc? no.
Sign CP3? Depends.
Trade CJ? Depends.
Hire a real shooting coach? Definitely.
Doc lmfao
Trade for Giddey? Hope you don’t have a 16 year old daughter.
Anyway, draft a pg and bring Mills back to babysit the players…and probably Pop too.
Be careful what you wish for.
Giddey isn’t as great as they make him out to be. Can’t shoot, makes a lot of dumb mistakes that are overlooked by one brilliant pass or two a game. He’s a playmaker so I’ll give him that but his career won’t be as widely regarded as it seems. He’s got a long way to go before he’s capable of helping a team ring.
Just forget about Giddey, that's not who we are and y'all know there's no chance the Spurs touch that.
Big no to Doc and CP3.
I want us to improve the 1 spot, just not sure that’s our guy.
Doc
This nonsense again. If Rivers is constantly criticized (as he has been since '15), then how could he possibly be overrated?
He's not a PG, he's a combo guard. He'd suffice as an interim lead guard, for a team not interested in looking for a heliocentric ball handler (see Murray, White, Primo, Sochan "experiment").
Quickley is the best player (Caruso is comparable, but a worse fit and would cost more, with an extra year under market value) of the bunch and it makes no sense for the Knicks to pay his next contract when he's basically blocked by Brunson and has ostensibly been replaced (long term) by DiVincenzo.
Right now, but as I've alluded to, come the off season it's highly unlikely he's in their plans and highly likely that he'd prefer to be on a team where he can have a bigger role.
I didn't realize how many people hate Doc Rivers. He isn't a bad coach at all. The dude can improve this team remarkably. He doesn't change us into a contender in any way, but he would fix alot of problems that we do have tbh. I would take a 3-1 blown lead in the second round next year. Rivers adds stability and a voice that players actually listen to. He's like Larry Brown in that sense. Turns a team into a good one.
Also CP3 would be a one year rental and would teach our players a lot of things. Just having him that one year in OKC improved SGA and those 2 years in Phoenix improved Booker as well. He is a ty player to root for I guess, but I can put my own personal feelings aside for the betterment of the team.
Also 16 is legal in Mexico, so Giddy would have a field day in the Mexico City games... ewww
A more realistic fix - move Sochan to PF and maybe sixth man. Trade McDermott and Bassey for Kylian Hayes and James Wiseman. Send Wiseman to the G league or cut him. Start Hayes who has the passing and defense nous but just lacks shooting and fits well with Vassell and Johnson in the wing. If the Spurs are lucky, they might get something good out of Hayes that wasn't possible in the miserable Detroit.
Cut Hayes loose next season if he shows no improvement. But I am sure the Spurs defense gets much much better with Hayes in the lineup.
I doubt the Pistons would do that and even if they would, I wouldn't bother. The last thing this team needs is another non shooting primary ball handler.
As bad as they are defensively in general, I believe the starters have a defensive rating that would rank 1st in the league.
Tyrese Proctor would look great in a Spurs jersey.
I cannot believe someone is actually saying Doc Rivers is good option. It's something I'd never have bet would be said in sincerity here.
Man I’m gonna end up sounding like a huge Doc Rivers fan, which I’m not, but so many people here are shortchanging him it’s ridiculous. The dude has won everywhere he’s went. Maybe not championships, and nowhere am I stating he will ring with us, but he would get us to the playoffs.
What argument, besides lack of playoff success (which I’d argue is a dumb one bc the Spurs have the worst record in the west and are nowhere near the playoffs) are y’all so against Rivers? I’d like to hear a good one
