Solid list of role player and some starting caliber players.
Big fans of Aminu, Vessely as projects ir maybe Okafor on the cheap if he is fully healthy (born in Texas).
If Mills walks, I'd think they'd sign another PG given how important depth was at that position this championship run. They could as just as easily draft a SF,PF, or Center.

Aminu, Monroe and Gasol are about the only interesting people on that list that I would want on a Spurs roster and Aminu is the only one who would probably make sense financially.
Aminu please.
Aminu
The Spurs got by with no true backup SF this season but it would be good to have one in the future. Plenty of good names on there, though many of them wouldn't like to be backups (Pierce, Ariza, Deng). Marion and Kirilenko are the two best at that position that might be willing to take a relatively small contract and be a backup to Kawhi.
Hinrich and Ridnour stand out to me as possible backup PGs if Mills gets too much money for the Spurs to match and Joseph is seen as not ready for full-time backup duties.
As for big men, Ed Davis and Frye are good but likely out of MLE range. Okafor, if healthy, is a good defensive-minded big off the bench and Jordan Hill has always been a good energy guy if nothing else.
Marvin Williams is my number one choice. Only 27 years old, has great size for the 3 at 6'9 240 lbs, and is a 3 & D guy. might be too pricey but he would fit perfectly in our system imo.
He averaged 9 pts and 5 boards on a bad team last year on 36% shooting from 3, but I think that number would go up in our system. Regardless, this team can definitely get better this offseason with right moves.
Aminu because of combo forward possibilities longer, more athletic, and taller version of Leonard only a year older and has yet to find stability in the NBA. If Chip sticks around he could develop a midrange or long range jumper.
Okafor has been a productive center and could be a nice fit off the bench. Career: 51% FG, 12 PPG, 10 RPG and 1.7 BPG, missed this season with a neck injury but is only 31.
Vessely is a very good athlete and hustle player, a bust as a top pick but has role player written all over him. Could be what Ayers was supposed to be for us.
Monroe in pick N roll would be a dream given that the Spurs could help him with footwork and develop his shot but alas he's too expensive. Deng would be an ideal player at the 3 but again too much money, Pierce wouldn't be able to play with pace. Aminu would be the best option at the 3 because he's young, long, defensive minded and we can develop his jumper. We will lock up Patty. I'd love it if Gasol took a massive pay cut and decided to come here off the bench. His defense is pretty suspect but it gives you more options off the bench.
Thanks for the recap.
If Mills leaves, the Spurs could do worse than Beno for the minimum.
Well to get to the finals we will have to go through the Grizz, Clippers, OK - So I would ask the question what player can help us win against these three teams?
Also do you think that Bertrans is going to make the jump to our roster next year? If so does that change wanting Aminu?
If Bertans didn't get hurt he would probably be on a short list to get over here but probably not now. They'll probably leave him over seas one more season but I'd love to see him in Summer League along with Hanga.
that. Bring everybody back. Sign and develop a SF.
Lebron will opt out, he'll call up RC and ask for the the least he could take to come and win.
Spurs could have quite a few roster spots open.
Daye is a team option ($250,00 guaranteed)
Baynes
Bonner
Joseph & Ayers are both on 1 year deals and cost the Spurs roughly $3.75 million if they could package them along with maybe a future second rounder (likely to a bad team) they could clear up a couple of roster spot and cap space as well.
Belinelli could even be expendable by midseason if they they find a true SF that fits in. Ginobili has been playing backup SF while Belinelli has been play backup SG. but I'd doubt they'd move him.
How many FA's would love to be a part of what they witnessed in the finals?
Yup, If they bring everybody back, then the offseason will be a success. Bring in one of the overseas 3s and call it a summer.
If Patty/Boris leave then they got some work to do but I think Boris stays and CoJo is a good enough backup PG to take over.
PJ Tucker please
Hater salivating that RJ comes back.
Gasol mentioned Spurs as possible location. Says his role on a team and how they utilize him is important. Said Spurs would be a great fit. Wouldn't mind him for the mid-level if he was willing to take a cut. Great passing big who can spread the floor with his above average shot.
Bring everyone back. And develop or get one back-up for Kawhi in the SF spot.
Greg Monroe would be a great fit. He fits the Spurs mold of bigmen who pass the ball well.
Ariza and Gasol
Detroit will keep Monroe no matter what
I really hope we keep Mills and Diaw tbh. I don't want to have to replace those guys. Especially Diaw.
