In total.
This TBH. Sometimes I wish our FO would have more balls. Other than the Leonard trade we have never done a move with any risk.I give up
Back to earth here
Spurs stand pad, we re-sign Splitter, Manu and call it a day. The most exciting part of this off-season will be the search of cheap backup for Leonard.
I still think we should go after Randolph. He doesn't play much in Denver. I always loved him and I can't understand why we have never even tried to get him.
That is every reason to be mad!Why be mad? We have Bonner.
Too much hate on him. He was decent in the PO.
Don't worry. Next trade will be a six pack of Bud Lite for Robinson. How many teams have to dump him before you figure out he's a bust?
Wonder if the Spurs were serious about getting him? I'd imagine they might've offered something similar but with the Spurs being direct compe ion this season they prolly didn't wanna risk helping the Spurs get better either short-term or long-term.
He was interesting, but I tend to agree.
Too bad.
4 million dollars this year to a guy who did not even play in the finals! No thanks, he is not worth that much.
Houston and Portland both hate the Spurs and our front office. Lol thinking we could get him. , they probably conferenced in RC just to give him a big you while they completed it.
I was being sarcastic.
It's not even about Robinson (who I really liked) but the fact we'll probably hold on to Bonner for dear life over some other guys.
To do what.. spend it on Splitter and Neal? Cause that's probably all they're going to do.
This does affect the Splitter situation, however. Either this deal eliminates some of Portland's cap space, making it significantly harder for them to outbid the Spurs, or it gives the team an asset that they can deal in a sign-and-trade for Splitter. Honestly, Portland was about the best team that could have acquired Robinson.
We shall see. I doubt that Gary will be back. I'm having a hard time projecting Manu's salary for his next contract but I think that there will be cap space left even if the Spurs bring back both him and Tiago.
And you likely won't even get that (in regards to the excitement of a search for a backup for Leonard), as they'll most likely sign Casspi, who's basically the Joseph of SF's, which is to say, very little in the way of actual, discernible skill . . . but hey, he tries hard. You'd think more would be required for a rotation player on an NBA team and particularly one of the elite variety, but apparently not.I give up

I'm not particularly high on Robinson and for next season, Diaw and Bonner may well be better fits, but it would be nice if they could actually get someone they're supposedly pursuing for once.
More importantly, the big rotation still doesn't really work. The starters are both centers, the backups are both power forwards (neither of whom have the length, rebounding or shot blocking, to get away with credibly playing center), there's not a surefire second big to close games and there's not an above average athlete in the bunch.
Would you rather the Spurs keep Splitter and then try to sign another big like Millsap?
Welp
Keep Splitter. If the Spurs plan to stay over the cap, they can keep Tiago AND probably get a big like Carl Landry or Brendan Wright. I'd rather do that and move Splitter to the bench than hope Baynes can take Tiago's place.
i'm actually fine with it as the spurs can just bring jamychal green up from austin and be the same player. they are the same size and have the same skill athletically. with green having the better jumper of the two.
Ha he wouldn't be the same player playing against NBA compe ion.. just like Corey Joseph isn't averaging 20 ppg in the NBA like he did in Austin.
So the Blazers obviously aren't re-signing J.J. Hickson. It'd be pointless and they likely can't afford him anymore.
It doesn't speak well of the Spurs thoughts on Thomas Robinson at the moment in all honesty because they could have easily had him if they were high on him. With Self being close to RC and the ease of getting Robinson, maybe the Spurs were not really ever that high on him.
My thinking as well. I just find it hard to believe that we wouldn't be willing to give up a late 1st round pick for the 5th overall pick in last year's draft..
Perhaps the Rockets were a little reluctant to do a deal with us, considering that we play in the same division and our history. I'm not saying that they wouldn't do a deal with us if it was their only opportunity to clear space or if the Spurs gave them an offer that they literally couldn't refuse - but the Rockets really weren't in too big of a hurry to unload Robinson since they still had another week and a half to field offers.
