CAPS-LOCK
Meant to do that
GREG ODEN AND AK47
Brooks and Oden
We have 14 as of now:
Tony/Cory/Mills
Danny/Marco/Nando
Kawhi/Ginobili
Tiago/Boris/Matt
Tim/Aron/Jeff
With one on the line:
Gary
I know its a pipe dream, but i'd love AK47
and Lebron
Better Nono?...
Yeah, he was missing Baynes.
7 guards & 6 big men = we need a trade to get the backup SF we need.
That is true, forgot to put Baynes worthless ass on there?...I wouldn't mind cutting Bonner and Baynes and adding our Second Rounder, Brooks and AK or Delfino
Looking at the lineup, I don't think we are going to make any more deals until Gary Neal's RFA is cleared up. If we sign someone else it takes away any stance we might have in a sign and trade with him, unless they are considering trading Nando which would free up a spot on the bench for Neal.
You forgot Baynes. Unless they amnesty Bonner its 1 remaining roster spot.
If we're looking to keep Neal, we should trade 2 guys -- it seems silly to carry 7 guards again.
A fall back would be McGrady for the vet minimum. Its a low risk, average reward. If he get in to the rotation he is capable of playing 3 positions and could at the very least fill in for Kawhi for 12mpg.
Losing out on Aminu, Barnes and Caspi hurt but as your said a trade is possible.
It wouldn't be impossible to move Neal in an S&T for a wing. Minnesota could be an option. They still help some scoring on the wing they have Martin and Budinger with Shved and Cunningham. That doesn't have a ton of punch on the wing.
Moving Neal for Derrick Williams would be an option. He has been dangled at least 4 times already in 2 seasons in various trades. They don't seem to be in love with him. He is a combo forward though would see almost all of his time at SF with the Spurs. They also have been rumored to be willing to move Barea to Dallas. Which would leave them with only 1 SG depending on who they get back.
Don't think we're looking to keep Neal, I think it's more about not losing an asset for nothing. After the finals, he has value and some team with money is going to want him especially when the focus falls on his tier and he's best available.
It seems unlikely we will keep him. On the other hand I see us maybe unloading De Colo for a 2nd round top 55 protected to a bad team. They won't have to give us really anything and we can pocket the cap space of $1.45 million. We would open up a second roster spot and have $1.4 million to sign a vet, and another $2.5 to with the room exception.
It's entirely likely that this it for free agency:
1. Spurs bring back 12 of the 15 players on the playoff roster.
2. Neal, Blair, and TMac are the only players who do not return.
3. The MLE is split between a Neal replacement (Beli) and a Blair replacement (Pendergraph).
4. 15th roster spot does not get filled any earlier than the end of training camp.
5. ST uses theemoticon so frequently that it has to be retired.
or if we find out we're ridiculously lucky...
Replace Neal with Belinelli at room exception
Replace Blair with Pendergraph at vets minimum
Replace Jax/Tmac with AK47
Profit
manu, marco, ak47, pendergraph, diaw is a of a second unit to compete. ak47 in spurs uniform is all i'm hoping for 2014
TMac
I still think the FO is looking at trades to get a real backup SF. But, of course, trades are a crapshoot, depending on what the other team needs, so no telling when or if a deal will get struck. And, of course, our trade pieces are mostly expiring contracts, which will be worth considerably more at the trade deadline than they are now.
