as another poster mentioned Simone Fontecchio would be a nice addition as well.

I like Melton at the 1. Defense and shooting is a must alongside the big 4 of Wemby, Sochan, Castle, Vassell.
Really nasty free agency class overall
I'm against Spurs signing a good PG. Minutes at that spot should be given to Tre and Castle. Castle will need minutes playing PG to develop. It will likely cost some games to Spurs but it will be worth it in the long run (unlike Sochan playing PG...).
Caleb Martin is my #1 target for Spurs. Heat likely won't be able to keep him:
What a depressing list. I’d add Gary Trent to this list though. Good shooter and TOR is moving on from him.
I’m liking the trade market better.
I like martin but do you think we need a better shooter in priority ? Almost if osman is gone
Don't think Caleb Martin has any intentions of signing with SA tbh..

Im with you a cam Johnson could be a very good fit but probably too expensive
The Spurs will sign some flotsam and jetsam on budget contracts if needed to fill out the roster. There will be no attempts to improve the team.
jalen smith or goga bitadze
I like the Spurs move to essentially consolidate Barlow and Mamu into one slot.
Its not going to happen, but still.. just for a hypothetical case... why shouldn't the Spurs pursue Paul George in free agency? He is a free agent and it won't cost any draft picks to get him.. it might require, as Chinook pointed out, for the Spurs to jettison Calamity Branham and Keldon Johnson apart from getting out of Devonte Graham's contract, but these are doable, isn't it and won't cost much, am I right?
George doesn't "fit" the Spurs timeline but he is a versatile player who can aid in the development of Wemby, Castle, Vassell and Sochan even further and by the time, his behemoth 4-year 200 million $ odd contract comes to an end, Wemby will be out of his rookie scale and they should be able to capitalize on their draft picks with some good talent in the next 2-3 years too. Why shouldn't the Spurs try to get George offering him a chance to play for Pop and to play with a genuine once-in-a-generation up and comer talent in Wemby? timvp?
This feels like a take on flotsam from other trades summer. Depends on if bigger names are getting moved or what. Nothing on this list really makes sense otherwise.
One under the radar move I’d like is to add Tristan Vukcevic, would be a solid stretch big
George won't be worth his salary in year 4, maybe even in year 3. That's when the spurs really don't want expensive mistake. This isn't the fun max. This is the vet max. This is an avg of 53 mil per year. I think his 4th year is near that 60mil mark. For a team like the sixers, this makes sense. They are in a win now mode with embid and that window is now.
Hopefully the Spurs get more creative than this. Not only are there a few RFA that are better than anyone on this list outside of Caleb, there are trades to be made. If the Spurs are so vanilla that all they do is go after value on this list, it’s pretty damn disappointing and literally doesnt help move the team forward at all. Bringing back only Cedi/Mamu would be a disaster off season given how poor the Spurs were with Wemby.
An off season where they only add Castle, to a team that won 22 games is unforgivable. They need to add more. They dont need to do anything silly like Trae or Garland or trade good picks for meh talent, but they need to do more than just Castle and 1 terrible free agent.
I would be ok with taking on bad contracts for picks as long as the players is useful. I would be fine with a trade of a non-core pick/2nds for player better than who is in FA. I would be fine with some of the RFA’s that are solid. , even you can trade for Lavine like I said and take a gamble on talent for the removal of pick protections and get best of both worlds because if you’re willing to just run it back, then theres zero reason not to rent cap space for assets at that point.
But you cannot just re-sign Mamu + Cedi and call it a day. That would be pretty damning.
Spurs could look to trade Keldon as well vs just run it back if that’s what it takes. Get someone who “fits” (3PT shooter + defense) for that money and that could start or be 6th man. At a minimum they should be looking at things like that to improve the team.
Theres just too many guys who we know wont be here long term on the roster that at a minimum should need to compete and fight to earn minutes vs other good new players in addition to Castle.
Doing nothing in free agency or trades other than Cedi+Mamu essentially would make trading the 8th pick like they did pretty hard to swallow in context of how damn bad SA was last season and how much room for talent there is on this team to at least compete for minutes and hope you land something better than you have.
I fully understand the long game and support it; but theres limits and as we’ve seen, even if you have a plan of cap space etc next season, you can still sign guys this off season to help that have + value then trade them for value when you need cap space etc..get creative and do your job spurs.

I wouldn’t mind an enforcer like Andre Drummond to help with spot minutes with certain matchups. He can’t do much other than rebound (which we need), but we lack a physical presence. I would prefer him over playing Collins at the backup 5 in some matchups.
Give me Drummond and Sandro and i'm good
It doesn't cost picks, but it costs future opportunities to land a max player. PG13 will be good when the Spurs can't really contend even with him (next 2 years) and likely not when they can (3rd and 4th years). It sounds tempting, but may end up with the Spurs shooting themselves in the foot.
What a sad list of FAs
Kennard and Trend Jr can shoot. But I don't know about their defense.
Only thing worse than doing nothing, is doing something bad that's costly to undo, like the Collins extension. This free agency class is bad but the next one is good, if you have a good target you can offer a Bruce Brown type contract (overpay with 2nd year a team option), but I would hesitate to do anything that takes the Spurs out of the '25 free agency.
