diaw 18/3, mills 16/4
The dudes are going to have some offers for a lot of money next year... specifically Patty.. can the Spurs match those offers?
diaw 18/3, mills 16/4
I don't even want to think about resigning players until the playoffs are over. I'm pretty sure the Spurs organization doesn't either.
RC and Pop don't usually lose players they want to keep. So if the FO wants them (as I imagine they would) they'll be back.
If the Spurs let gems like Patty and Boris get away, then Pop and Buford are re s.
Too much IMO. Mills should get a Neal-esque contract, $3m/yr. Diaw has shown throughout his career that he can be unmotivated, will scare teams off.
Diaw $14m/3, Mills $9m/3 would be good.
diaw is coming off a 9/2 deal, fwiw
14 mil a year for Diaw? Rofl.
18? Roflrofl
Neal and Patty are very nearly the same player, both scoring about 10ppg in about 20mpg, with about 1.5 apg and shooting about 40% from three...
except patty shoots 46% from the field overall, actually plays defense, and has a PER of 18.
Neal shoots 40%, plays no defense, and has a PER of 12...
Not saying we should throw the bank at patty, but he is probably more valuable. He is a good backup. Would not be a good starter because he does not create enough assists.
Yes.
comprehendo English's?
Nate Robinson signed for 2 years, 4 million. I'd peg Mills at 3 years, $10 million.
No, soy un troll.
PTR did speculate that the Spurs would let Mills walk because of Joseph. At some point they are going to have to give him the reigns if they believe in him.
Diaw 16/3 (wouldn't be surprised if he got somewhere between 18/3 to 21/3), Mills 11/3
I guess it depends on how they perform in the playoffs. If they scrub it up I'm sure their value will fall. If we go all the way then that's another story.
Diaw is more likely to stay because of his unique skill set, and I think he's incentivized to stay because of Tony. The Spurs will give him a fair market deal (somewhere around MLE), and I'm pretty sure he takes it. I also wouldn't be surprised if the length of that deal mirrored a Parker extension in terms of years.
Patty is a different story. I think he loves the team atmosphere and chemistry, but he may feel like he's got lead guard potential. And with Parker here, that won't ever happen. I think several teams will entertain the notion that he's worth MLE dollars to be a key contributor for them. One place I could absolutely see him going is Philly to reunite with Brett Brown, playing alongside MCW or being first off the bench. They have the cap space and the larger role to offer. I also think the Spurs have flexibility with Joseph on the team. He obviously brings a different skill set, but he's an effective backup when he runs the show with confidence. I personally don't want to see Patty leave, but I think it's far more likely than a Diaw exodus.
I'm worried about our ability to re-sign Mills. There's not a lot of good PG's in the league today, and there are a ton of teams (especially bad teams with no PG) who would just love to have Patty Mills as their starter.
The problem is that Patty has been just too damn good this year. When Parker's been out, he's dominated the PG match-up against the likes of Steph Curry, Chris Paul and Damian Llliard. Not only that, but his player efficiency is off the charts, and he's also #1 in total floor movement when he's on the court.
Also, Parker said he wants an extension this summer. And no doubt it'll be a big one since it'll probably be his last contract with the Spurs. Think 5 years/80 million. And when you give a contract like that to your starting PG...you can't just give pennies to your backup.
Ultimately, I think it'll take something like 3 years/15 million to re-sign Mills. Which is probably too much for the Spurs to handle, especially since they have cheaper options. Joseph, for example would cost about 6 million less overall. Think 3 years/9 million.
I think we might end up trading Parker. I really do. Were going to have to go young eventually, and Mills is just too much of a fan favorite and too young and too skilled to let go of. And if we could get something good in return for Parker this off-season, we should do it. Or else were going to lose Mills in free agency.

Patty's final value will be determined by what type of showing he has in the PO's. There's been a reason why GM's haven't been keen on him in the past.
If he s the bed, his brilliant season thus far might be written off as a flash in the pan -but if he steps it up, he'll be in for a pay-rise.
Way too early to make a good guess. Have to know how the playoffs go and whether Duncan and Ginobili return.
I think Boris is a good bet to come back. I want Patty to get paid, he's earned it and I'd be thrilled if it were the Spurs to do it tbh.
Extending Kawhi is priority 1.
Re-signing Boris is priority 2a.
Re-signing Patty is priority 2b, but I feel like someone is going to throw him money, and he deserves it. Wouldn't blame him for cashing in on a payday, but he does seem to really enjoy San Antonio, so hopefully the Spurs will meet him halfway enough to stay.
