why a big 3? why not a big 4?
So who do yall this is the next big 3 for the spurs, after manu,tim, & tony are gone? I say we've got 2 parts for the future next big 3' George hill, for sure is a part of the next big three and im sure dejuan blair will be to. So all we need is one more, Who do yall think that will be? - Malik? Splitter?
why a big 3? why not a big 4?
I don't give a F about the future....
WORRY about right now DUMMY...
Hopefully splitter but that's just hopefully! But we need more than that!
George Hill pretty much is already part of the big 3 this year so he is most likely one of them. The others are pretty hard to tell.
If Malik or Splitter are part of our big 3, we aren't getting 10 wins.
i feel ya but im just sayin cuz tim and tony and manu wont be here much longer
Ok...Cool...
But good call for tonights game....
Ghill would be a big time player, and Blair would also be a reliable player. TP is still young, so we now have 3 young guns. But we need more reliable players for us to contend.
George Hill. Hopefully Tiago comes along. And maybe we get that other player in this year or next years draft
George Hill is the only player who could be "big" in the future and it's not sure.
Blair is a great player but he's small and his health could be a problem.If he stays healthy and adds some jumpshots to his game he could be an all star one day but it will be pretty difficult
Not sure "the next big 3" is something to think about because the near future will feature either 2 parts of the current big 3, or the same big 3 but a team without all 3 or just one of them won't happen for quite some time. Besides, are we really up for comparing Duncan/Parker/Ginobili to Hill/Blair/___
big 1? big 1.5? ...movin on...
and as much as I'd rather just focus on this season, since we're bringing up "the future" I can't help but really wonder what the is going to happen this summer....
Has anyone looked at our roster next season?
We essentially have a starting 5 + Blair on the books for around $53 million
Duncan $19 million
Jefferson $15 million
Parker $13.5 million
McDyess $5 million
Hill $1.2 million
Blair $1 million
that's a huge chunk of change for 6 players. Factor in resigning Ginobili and we're over the cap with 7 players. At this point we pretty much have to give Ginobili whatever he wants, right? He gave us a discount and quick negotiation last time and will be coming off the recent heroics of this season so we don't want to insult him with a short/low ball offer when there will be a half dozen teams ready to offer him the cap space they weren't able to use on the 2010 free agency frenzy.
As much as we know the hypercompe ive Ginobili won't want to sign with the Nets, Clippers, Knicks, Kings just to get more dollars, we don't want to be too confident that he'll "give us a break" in order to build a roster and stay compe ive in San Antonio.
All things considered I'm guessing we offer Ginobili 3 years $35 million, what do you think? It seems like way too much money but are the Spurs really going to say, "Yeah, we made you play the season for job security AND you need to take a pay cut."?????
Spurs 2011
7 players $65 million
What money will we have left to throw at Splitter?
We'll have nothing to offer free agents.
So that definitely means we pick up Hairston's option for under a million and maybe we're signing all these D-Leaguers anticipating this summer---- We fill the roster with short term, $1 million contracts. ...and of course the "Journeyman Vet, minimum contract" signings.
Is that the team we want to see make a final run with Duncan?
sounds scary, and it'll feel real ty if trading for Jefferson(and then not being able to trade him again) means that we lose Ginobili and/or Parker. It doesn't seem too far fetched, consider the cap situation that we trade Parker in order to turn his contract into two or three mid-level salary role players that fill out the roster. UGH. i'm stopping now
I'm quite sure that fantastic "4" included a girl
Seriouly speaking our future core should go to Hill, Blair, Splitter
Tony M - " the future"
Tony's Boss - " If you don't give a about the future, the future will you."
Despite earning every cent of a bloated contract, I wouldn't be surprised if Manu again agreed to a moderate contract if the acquisition of Splitter hung in the balance.
Money, he has... his real ambitions (judging from his play and his career) are squarely set on securing his legacy as one of the most decorated and effective guards to play the game. At the very least, I don't think we need to worry that he feels disrespected by/vindictive toward the FO for not having his contract extended.
If we lose him, it will be because somebody offers him a spot on a squad that is more compe ive than our own, in a community that is more appropriate for his wife and children. Since few teams can offer situations such as this to match the big money offers they will extend, it doesn't seem all that implausible that he'd stay in -- and sacrifice for -- the Spurs.
Guess we'll see.
Tiago, RC sounded quite confident that he will come over.
yeah even i heard RC talkin yesterday in the rockets game sayin tiago is comin over next season and he compared tiago to anderson varejao of the cavs.....but varejao is not considered a star on the cavs roster....so the part of big 3 has to be someone else.....
This is an interesting and well-done post. I think how much we are will to spend NEXT YEAR will be determined by how well we do in the playoffs THIS Year. If we look like a team that can really play (advance deeply, take LA to 7 games, etc.) Holt may flip the bill again for a 70 million+ team. If not, if we flame out in the first round and don't look compe ive. If Timmy looks done, then we may hit rebuilding mode. And the amount Holt will be willing to spend I would think would be much, much lower.
It's difficult to speak of a "new big 3" when one considers they have big shoes to fill...
Our current "Big-3" triumvirate has one of the league's GOAT players, and two other all-stars...
Two of them are sure locks for the Basketball Hall of Fame...
I don't know if Hill, Blair, or Splitter will even make all-star squads...
So you are saying ths spurs will not get any top players in the next 3 years.
I wonder what the next step is for Blair? Is this as much game as he will ever have? There is very little room to advance his inside game due to his size. How much can he improve outside if at all? He is still young but I get the feeling that Pop and company will not provide him the coaching needed to improve his game 10-20 feet out. If that is the case then should we be happy with a career 6 ppg 6 rpg player in Blair.
Parker.
Spurs will concentrate on 3 things. 1- Re-signing Manu, 2- Signing Splitter, 3- filling in the wings w/ swingmen
i got a ? why the is dice signed next year for 5 millon dollars wtf
With Hill and Blair, you have two really good young players. Hairston, as well, has a good chance to be part of the future, if he continues to improve. You bring in Splitter next year, and Gist, whose been playing well overseas, and you have a nice young nucleus of players. And I also like the fact that this is suppose to be a deep draft.
