Not only that but backup point was a huge problem for them coming down the stretch and into the postseason. Neal was a liability when someone pressured the ball and just does not have the quickness to defend NBA PGs.
De Colo and Mills does not just improve PG play but also moves Neal back to where he belongs.
I hope our next target is Kenyon Martin
So Patty gets the rest of the MLE? Also, Tims contract, along with the others signed still leaves the Spurs next year with significant cap space plus Tim/TP/Kawhi/Green/Patty under contract.
There could be others under contract too depending on options, guarantees & QO's, but the above is what looks set in stone.
The key is whether or not that cap space will be used mainly on Manu.
Glad they only signed Diaw for 2 years.
More likely the non-Bird exception.

I'm wondering if Mills was given some sort of assurance he would get the backup PG spot. It's very possible he just wanted to stay on this team no matter what, but it didn't seem like he really tested the waters elsewhere. IF Mills becomes the backup PG, in a way, this could make things better for Neal staying on the team. Let him return to his only role of spot up shooter/microwave for about 12 minutes a game.
Nando could play with Neal to alleviate some of the size mismatches on defense.
To me, the player who needs to go is CoJo. Unless he makes a deal with the devil and suddenly drastically improves he's just holding up spots for other players to be developed. SL will show if our draft pick can hang with the compe ion. And as others have suggested, I could easily see the FO trying to get him over to Europe for a year while they are still dealing with CoJo.
A lot of guards. Probably a lot of small ball coming up no matter what happens.
You can pretty much all but guarantee Manu will get a 2 year deal around 15-18 million next year IMO. I think that it makes the most sense for his new contract to match Duncan's in terms of when they expire.
Great news. 3 more years of the greatest PF ever!
No, he can get more money without dipping into the MLE. The MLE is being saved to give someone a long-term minimum contract. Two early candidates are Marcus Denmon and JaMychal Green.
An athlete?
JaMychal Green??????????????
Can't find any info on him.
Great news.
According to this he says he wants to play until he's 37 which would be the 2013/2014 season. He also says he has 2 years left on his contract...I thought he had this upcoming year and that's it?

Has Manu talked openly about returning after next season?
That's it, No it couldn't? Surely, a man of your integrity and inteligence has a better explanation than that. You didn't address the De Cola signing. Parker, Mills, Gino, Neal.... Exactly how many guards does one team need?
That's it. The part of your post that I bolded is impossible under the CBA.
adios joseph....
To be fair, his name isn't Collective Bargaining Agreement Czar.
Thank you. I guess I'll have to brush up on the CBA rules so I don't look like a horses ass. I stand by what I said about De Cola being a pointless signing though.
He seemed to make progress in Austin last year. If he stinks up the Summer league then sure but the benefit of the dleague is you don't have to give up on guys so early.
Obviously they believe De Colo has potential to be a good player and believe another one of their guards (most likely Neal and Joseph) are easily expendable and wouldn't be missed all that much. Why wouldn't that make sense to you?
