Stay:
The Big 3
McDyess

Hairston

Maybe:
RJ - If we find a better option than him, go for it.
Bogans - only if we miss out on players.
Bye-Bye:
Mason and Bonner: failures
Bonner, Mason, Bogans: Gone
RJ: Possibly but if trade is available, do it
Parker, Manu, Duncan, Dice, Hill, Blair: Keep
Mason, Bonner go!
Jefferson trade at the start of the season
TD, TP, Manu, Hill, Blair, Dice, Mahinmi, Bogans, Temple stay
Bogans has to leave along with Mahimi.temple can be the 3rd pg.
We need splitter, Rudy fernandez (the blazers dont want him anymore), a defensive stopper like sefelosha, a shot blocker like tyrus thomas, trade RJ for anything but get him off the team.The day a 29 year old gets outplayers by grant hill who is 37 is the day u need to go.
RJ has GOT TO GO .. I don't care.. that guy is an awful fit for the team..
Keep TD, TP, Manu, Blair, Hill, McDyess ...
I would trade/move any of them if I had the chance of getting something valuable ...
An old team needs a strong bench we aren't a Championship team anumore ...
The Spurs need smart acquisitions, cheap players or their teams relegated as Andres Nocioni (huge temper and shot three), Rudy Fernandez (explosive player) and a big boy like Dalembert, with reliable role players, the rest can still define the big three.
TP, Manu and G Hill are awesome 3 man rotation for two spots.
RJ and Bogans SUCK.
Timmy, Dice, Blair and Hopefully Splitter, and even Bonner are OK to play 4 and 5. If we could ship Bonner and/or somehow add some interior D, I would be more than happy.
Only if Bogans develops his outside shot!
Our biggest issue is RJ, you have to think that our bench will be better with the addition of Blair and Manu and/or G Hill and/or TP.
The way I see it, RJ is our main concern. I don't see him be traded over the summer. Will keep him to start the season and see what we can get out of him. Maybe in his second year he plays better, if not his expiring contract will make his easy to move.
Also I am thrilled to see us drafting at #19 and also see how much Blair will improve in his second year.
Our bench next year could be infinite times better just by adding a more experienced G Hill and Blair.
Is Popovich on that list?
Everyone should be on the table.
Tim and Manu are the only two who should be retained. Everyone else should be expendable for the right piece.
If any of Bonner, Mason, and Bogans are back next year we are done.
i'm willing to part with everyone except parker, hill, manu, and blair. duncan is washed up, soft, poor hands, poor free throws, but at this point he ain't going anywhere so you can add him to my list.
Staying:
Duncan
Manu
Blair
Hill
Hairston or Temple- They should fight for spot next training camp. I like Hairston better for his 3pt shot.
Should stay but if a team offers a good trade, I wouldn't mind them leaving:
Dice
Parker
Gone
RJ - He just never seem to fit in.
Bonner - I want him gone but feels Pop will resign him. He is basically useless if his shot does not fall.
Mason - Similar to Bonner really doesn't provide anything if his doesn't fall. Unreliable in the playoffs.
Ian - I want him to stay but if POP won't play him. What's the point of keeping him and wasting a roster spot.
Bogans
this. it probably sucks, but in the long run trading TP would be the best value move.
Tim and Manu should stay. Manu is the best player on the team by a fair margin. Tim is still one of the better big men out there despite having been slowed by age. Spurs need to look at moving everyone else. They have far too much money wrapped up in a team that has so little depth.
Stay: Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Hill, Blair, McDyess, Mahinmi..
Absolutely must go: Mason, Bonner, Jefferson..
I wouldn't be devastated, but should be gone: Bogans..
Fighting for 2 roster spots(I hope): Hairston, Temple, Gee..
Ian is gone. That choice was made the day the Spurs did not pick up his option.
Mason and Bonner should be gone because their contracts are up.
Hill and Blair combined make $2M so they are a great deal.
I have no idea what awful contract the Spurs would have to accept to dump RJ's expiring deal. Spurs management may just let him expire next season and cut their payroll significantly the following summer.
Unless someone thinks we don't need to rebuild, then we need to trade Parker to get new pieces. Buy out RJ and let him sign with Golden State or wherever. Actually develop our young guys by giving them leeway. When Gentry actually told Goran "hey it's ok if you make a few mistakes" I wondered if Pop ever gives his young players that leeway. Instead they're scared like hack reporters at a press conference.
Agreed.
RJ will have an attractive expiring contract as the trade deadline approaches so I look for him to be aggressively shopped at that time. I really don't think that the FO can put together a trade in the off season or early in the next one. Trade deadline seems to be when RJ gets moved.
Mason is toast and we all know that. He might as well just show up in street clothes.
Bonner is msot likely gone but I have this eerie gut feeling that he will return, especially if he has another game like game 3. If he could only break out and ditch the PO choker label then I think Pop would give him another shot. Frankly he is a good role player on the 2nd unit but, except for game 3 against the Suns, has been a dismal faliure in the post seasons.
And I'm going to enjoy seeing those youngsters - Hairston, Temple, Gee - fight it out in training camp.
Ian coming to training camp to me is a 50/50 situation but if he does then this is it. If he fails to produce early on I expect for Pop to just let him walk.
And Splitter is coming. I'm excited about that.
Temple HAS to stay...this kids gonna be real good in a couple years
Untouchables: Duncan and Ginobili
Absolutely must go: Mason, Bonner
Goes if a favorable deal can be exchanged: Tony Parker, RJ, Blair, McDyess
Will likely be gone: Mahinmi, Bogans
Budget players that hopefully stays: Temple, Hairston
Keepers: Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Antonio McDyess(contract situation, partially guaranteed for 2011-2012 season)
GTFO: Roger Mason, Matt Bonner, Keith Bogans
If a favorable trade is proposed: Tony Parker, Richard Jefferson, George Hill, DeJuan Blair, 20th and 49th draft pick (whoever that might be)
Hopefully re-signed or retained through team option: Ian Mahinmi, Garrett Temple, Alonzo Gee, Malik Hairston
i'm sorry but no team in the right mind would take either mason or rj unless we throw in someone of substance (parker).
bonner might be an easy trade just because of his rep as a three shooter off the bench, but only for a draft pic, maybe another no name role player, or a chicken mcnugget.
i'd like to see bogans in a uniform other than the spurs.
everyone else has earned their spot for the most part.
Keep: Duncan, Manu, Blair, Dice, Hill, Temple
Trade: Parker
Dispose of: RJ, Mason, Bonner, Bogans, Mahinmi, Poppavitch
