Boris deserves as much as Tiago and Mills can get the full MLE...
Mills may get a bigger role elsewhere and that could be hard to pass up tho.
If the Big 3 stays, keep this team. We all know idiots like Kerr are going to want what the Spurs have... Mills will probably get offered big money by a lottery team but we need him back, he's sometimes our best PG and he took games over this season. Diaw NEEDS to comeback too, another playmaker to add to the bench when Manu is having one of those "Turnobili" games. He's easily the team's best post player and stretch big defender...

Hard to do so when Kawhi will most likely get the max - someone is going to have to swallow their pride if they want to stay on this roster. Luckily Boris and Patty are team first guys.
Should throw in another extension to Tim and Manu in the process... let them retire when they want...
Then they're gonna wait next summer to entend him and by then Tim and Manu will be off the books...
Why is that. Spurs own both Mills and Diaw Bird Rights. Spurs have only 53 mil committed to Salaries next season. They are 24 mil under the Tax Level which is set to be around 77 mil next year based on the CBA. That means they have 25 mil to resign their players and still be under the Tax level.
I honestly don't see either leaving this offseason. They both want a chance for another run and they won't get anywhere else (well no contending team could outbid the Spurs at this point.) Diaw and Parker are best friends and Mills loves SA and his teammates.
Boris would be floundering around the league right now (probably undeservedly, as he got a raw deal in Charlotte) if it weren't for the Spurs. Hopefully he'll give a LITTLE bit of a hometown discount.
Boris is a unique player too but is not a true center like Splitter, which for whatever reason trade at a premium.
Thanks for the info
what if tim retires?
It should be an interesting offseason, i wouldnt pay diaw anything other than a one year deal. For patty, i think he should go.
I really want, and expect that they'll both be back. Diaw is such a smart player, and I'm really invested in Mills as a Spurs, his progress, work ethic, and team spirit. I'd love to get the chance to watch him be a Spur for a long time.
Just give us one more ing year. I really believe we can back to back if we keep everyone. Let Duncan retire with 6.
If we win this year the Heat will probably blow up in the off season. So next year the only hurdle will be OKC.
I think Patty will go, but I don't agree that he should go. I'm interested in the reasons some of you think the Spurs should let him walk?
Cojo is the better prospect and patty is not worth the money he should be paid given the lack of talent some teams have (lakers?). I think it would be really foolish for patty to stay in san antonio when he can cash in on a high note and give himself the best shot to a starting pg spot. I thought the same last year for neal, both of them earned relatively little in their career and are not supposed to take paycuts at their stage.
Doubt Tim retires if they win game 5. Why not break a ton of records next year and go for the Jordan tie? Heck, he might even take a pay cut to make sure we resign everyone and maybe add another piece or two.
That would be funny if they ended up signing Melo on a mininum vet contract
Kawhi is eligible for an extension this offseason, but would still be on a cheap rookie deal through next season (when the big 3's deals expire) Mills and Diaws contracts shouldn't have an major impact on the teams cap going forward.
Seriously?
I would gladly welcome LeBron or Durant to the Spurs as I think they are good coachable players who want to improve, win les, and would listen to Pop as they have tremendous respect for him.
Melo, even if you gave him to us for free, I wouldn't want him on the Spurs.
paying like 8M per year for a backup pg doesn't seem wise tbh.. diaw doesn't have much of a sense to me for the after timmy age
Mills is more than 3 years younger than Neal. He may not view this as his only chance at a cash grab. He could see this is a place where he could eventually be the starting PG.
Diaw is only 32. He has at least 3 more good years in him left. Guys with high BB IQs like Diaw are hard to come by.
Mills is not getting 8 mil a year. I don't see anyone throwing Lin type of money for a guy that has been more of a spot up shooter in the Spurs system and hasn't shown he could be the starting PG on a team night in and night out. At most, he will get the full MLE.
Patty can have a minor starting job for another team...can't blame him for possibly leaving. Diaw is a Spur 4 LIFE.
Kawhi will make the same next season whether he is extended or not. All the extension would do is lock up his 2015 salary a year early. If the Spurs are comfortable giving Leonard the max, they should wait until next off-season, when they could potentially play a little cap manipulation to bring in another big contract (similar to how Houston is trying to do with Parsons this off-season). The only reason to extend Kawhi (besides to soothe his ego if that's a potential issue) is to lock him up to a below-max deal, which seems unlikely at this point.
Although if Leonard flounders in the rest of this series, you never know how it will decrease his market.
