The 2013 Master Plan

[bigfan]

Ive said it before and Ill say it again; I sure appreciate your work here TIMVP. Im from SA and have been a Spurs fan since the early 80's. Unfortunately for the past decade or so Ive lived all over the planet and now live in Dallas (so I cant go to the games and the local rag is all Mavs, all the time). Thanks again for your expertise and well written entries here.

I agree. This place was unbearable with him gone (didn't know the reason at the time) but he's come back with a vengeance. Much respect.

If Manu doesn't retire after that season then he will (and should) be on the Spurs.

orlando was trying to recruit jax to play with d12

lets ask d12 to come here and play for us while we have capspace enough to field a talent team around him to compete.....

if we can keep the current roster and resign most of the vets thats expiring to veteran or minimum deals, we have enough to pay someone above mle...

List of FA in 2013. Discuss.

We know Paul likes playing w/Blake, but does he like Howard better?

2013 is the new 2010.

Doesn't matter. He likes it in LA and I'm pretty sure he'll sign an extension eventually.

[smackdaddy11]

Many more names on the list. Just giving a discussion point. Much can be constructed from that list, especially adding a trade asset of Parker at 12.5 mil to it.

[TDMVPDPOY]

we can stuff up alot of teams to overpay to keep their players, hopefully the spurs throw out figures just to stir the pot

[AFBlue]

#1 target should be Al Jefferson

[TDMVPDPOY]

#1 target should be Al Jefferson

he better take a paycut if he wants to come here, dude hasnt live up to his current contract

[Mugen]

#1 target should be Al Jefferson

I don't want any Jeffersons coming here for a while.

[TMTTRIO]

I love Manu and would like to see him stay here a while longer but with the way his body is starting to fail him, I see him barely getting by this year without having to retire(even though he still says he can play until 36-38 even after the injuries)

[Agloco]

lol thinking the Spurs will attract any big name players.

[T Park]

2013 is the new 2010.

2013 is the new 2003.

[Nathan89]

I don't like the sound of this at all. Dude is too slow.

[T Park]

Im still bitter over Jermaine O'Neal shooting the Spurs down (freaking Isaih Thomas) and jaded over cap room.

[lcroock]

Bring in Monte Ellis and Paul Milsap, or Josh Smith and Stephen Curry!

[DPG21920]

Some interesting unrestricted FA's in 2013:

Josh Smith
Monta Ellis
Biedrins
Kevin Martin
Andrew Bynum
Okafor
Al Jefferson
Paul Millsap

Not overly sexy, but cap room means the ability to absorb players in a trade

[AFBlue]

Al Jefferson is the second best fundamental big man in the game, next to Duncan. He has nice size for a F/C, is relatively young, and has a good head on his shoulders.

He has a great respect for Duncan, and I think he would consider a serious offer from the Spurs. Seems not only realistic, but entirely plausible he would be their #1 target.

[Redshadows]

Paul Millsap
Al Jefferson
Andre Iguodala

Why Splitter became Unrestricted in 2013? He is in rookie contract.

[Stringer_Bell]

the OP was very intriguing, but now I will be mad if that's not the master plan >.<

[Dr. John R. Brinkley]

With Sjax and also Diaw on board, I would think the 2013 Master Plan is now more wide open as far as how much Tim wants to make. Would he want less money in his next contract if it meant being able to keep some combination of SJax and Boris? How well the team plays and succeeds in the playoffs will be the answer, but at the least there are some new wrinkles now to consider.

i think duncan would sign a 1 year deal for 20m as loyalty contract, the year after it we sign someone with max with duncan taking a huge paycut

d12 or bynum would be stupid not to come play here with the stacked roster we got atm, i think players like jax, ginoboli will both take paycuts to remain on this team....

Bynum has a brain the size of a walnut and glass knees....

I would hate to see him here...
