    Boris is a no brainer, but Mills is gone is he receives a contract north of what Green got a few years ago. Spurs value that spark plug off the bench, but as we saw will Neal last summer they won't over pay. I bet they see Belli, with a year under his belt, playing that role next year if mills leaves.
    Good call. what do they do with boner?

    Gasol would fit seemlessly in our system post Duncan, he can do everything Duncan does for us right now and is a better defender.
    Agree that Marc G would be an awesome player but my dream would be for Dirk to come to the spurs after Duncan and win it again.

    I've come to really admire his play after all the rivalry.

    Strong rebounder and unstoppable on offense.

    A new age Larry Bird.

    Depends on what happens with Boris. May not make me popular here, but I don't mind bonner staying on a bit longer in a similar role to what he has this past season. Would love him in a front office role one day too.

    Parker could talk Diaw to take the same $ as this year 4.5M

    I wouldn't be mad at Patty taking the MLE, he won us enough games this season... Without him, there's no homecourt, tbh
    Parker will be arguing for Diaw to get more, not less money. Parker knew what Diaw could do and convinced the FO to give him a chance. He is super high on Diaw's play last summer and this season, and I think he will try to get the FO to get Diaw as much money as they can come up with.

    You were willing to bet on it and then you backed out.

    Behavior that is wholly consistent with your posting style and not the least bit surprising.

    Just admit that you're clueless on this subject and we'll call it a day.
    how can anyone not be clueless about something as unpredictable as free agency, mine is a prediction but i have nothing solid to back it up nor do i think he is worth that money. If today he gets exposed as he is supposed to, of course the inflated number would crumble, don't see what the issue is.

    Anyone think we'll re-sign Matt Bonner this offseason? If he agrees to play for the minimum (800 K), then maybe? He's not much of a player...but he's a great locker room guy and knows the Spurs system well. Kind of like a player-coach. And nobody else is going to sign him so...if the Spurs don't...then we could be watching Matt Bonner's last game as a Spur tonight.

    You proposed terms for a wager. I accepted them. You
    backed out of the bet that you proposed within hours of making the proposal.

    If you didn't want to bet, you shouldn't have proposed terms for a bet.

    Like I said, no surprise. Your behavior in this thread is consistent with your posting style.

    You proposed terms. The virtual equivalent of extending your hand:

    my terms : if i win, you pay 50 bucks, if you win i stop posting until you said.



    I accepted and restated the terms to avoid any possible future confusion:

    Those terms are acceptable to me.

    To restate:

    This wager concerns the first year salary of Patty Mill's next contract (reputable source like Woj or Sham).

    If the first year salary is 7.5 million dollars or more, you win.

    Less than 7.5 million dollars, I win.

    If you win, I pay you $50.00

    If I win, you don't post anywhere on SpursTalk from the day the contract is signed until the day the 2015 NBA Finals end.

    Acknowledge this post to accept the wager.



    You withdrew:

    wait for the finals to end though, cause if he doesn't end on a high note, that no way he get's it.

    Not backing down. Backing out.

    You backed out of a wager that you proposed just a few hours after you proposed it.

    There's no other possible interpretation.

    I think only if they need his salary to make up the difference in some trade.
    Like maybe Kevin Love?
    I wish.

    Bonner is a Spur for life. He'll either re-up for the minimum or he'll be working in the front office. I believe that he'll sign for the minimum and be on the roster next season.

    for what i know, he may tore his acl today or suck so badly none even wants him at all, i did propose a bet, but i'm not foolish enough to actually do it until the season is over.. And we're not even counting possible world cup injuries (altough i don't really know if australia is qualified, i'm assuming it is). All these little variables are unpredictable to a certain degree, and should be added in a fair bet, since it was not the point of the debate anyway...

    YOU PROPOSED THE BET. If you had all these concerns, YOU DIDN'T NEED TO PROPOSE THE BET or you could have added those provisos to your proposal. I am ready right now to agree that the bet is void if Patty sustains an injury before he signs a new contract.

    Will you go through with the bet after the Finals if there is no real change in his level of play or health status?

    If you can't answer yes to that question, then you have backed out.

    Please...

    You proposed terms in post #151:

    my terms : if i win, you pay 50 bucks, if you win i stop posting until you said.
    So, to be clear. You go through with the bet after the Finals if there is no real change in his level of play or health status?

    A simple yes or no before any other commentary would be appreciated.

    Are you worried that Mills may get injured and/or the bed or is that what you are hoping for?

    I don't think it's enough money, but perhaps a one-year contact using the full MLE ($5.3 million) might do the trick of keeping Mills for the next season and off the books for the 2015 summer. I think Diaw will get something around 7-8 million a year. And keeping Bonner for the minimum is a no brainer IMO.

    Also, I would love to see Marc Gasol signing for the Spurs better than a high-volume scorer. It would mean that the team would be playing a similar brand of basketball in the future and stay a contender, even if the spacing issues are a concern. Still, it's going to be extremely difficult.

    You mean you can't remember?!

    Mate I thought you were serious about the Spurs!




    Agree Mills is probably the best in a long time. I thought Nick Van Exel would have brought what Mills does.... Mills brings the goods although his vision still needs more improvement. He may very well become the next Parker. Parker never had such a sweet shot at 25 though!
    Yeah, I remember. I was there.
