I could see us drafting a raw playmaking SG who needs a ton of work to be a complete player too. We still kinda need an extra playmaker for injury insurance
We'll keep Diaw and I think Mills will play ball. RC knows how intricate they were in this run and if he doesn't then Pop will remind him. I think we'll see the Spurs draft the best player available in the draft rather than focus on a need (backup SF) which will end up being a draft and stash kind of player. I don't see a whole lot of FA hoopla this offseason either, maybe a stretch 4/5.

Our own free agents are more important than any free agents we could potentially aquire.. re-signing Diaw and Mills should be our priority. Maybe Let Bonner walk unless he signs for pocket change. As it stands, The Spurs are the best team (by leaps and bounds) and they don't need to make any changes.
Glad to see I'm not the only one that likes Aminu. He is definitely a Spur and I hope he gets consideration. We really need to hold onto Mills, but if we can't I would try to go after Darren Collison, or if we need somebody on the cheap we should look at Devin Harris.
I'd love Kyle Anderson out of UCLA, SF with good hands, good IQ and can shoot
The draft and trade market are much more interesting than the FA market this year (for the Spurs at least). I would have liked to take a flier on Vesely had Ayres not been signed, but I'd just as soon bring back Baynes now. Plus, do the Spurs really want another big-man bust named /jan/ [IPA]?
Ariza, Gasol, Okafor will be out of the price range, for sure.
I think the Spurs have got to consider anyone among Marvin Williams or CJ Miles. I will prefer the latter. Better basketball IQ, can play SG & SF, and a better defender than Williams. Danny Green is in any case a good SF backup and I think the Spurs system will benefit having Miles in it.
Besides they can get Bertans in the offseason too.
If Miles doesn't pan out, Marion could be a decent one year vet option.
No more players that can potentially mean Less Green who IMO is probably the best Kawhi Back up not to mention playing SG..He's good enough to have minutes on both SG and SF..
The spurs have enough players to win another one imo..Re-sign Boris, Try to resign Patty...
If they can't resign patty look for a third string PG and just give Cory a shot..
Resign Diaw and Mills, retire Bonner to a coach/color guy role, kill Errors, and bring in an athletic big with a jumper ala Patterson and one of the SFs they have in Europe.
Realistically, we're looking at the MLE and #30 for a backup PF, and depth at SF to replace the Bonner/James/Daye group, with potentially a #3PG slot if Patty gets a big offer, and whatever depth changes if something happens with Baynes(stay or go?)
At PF, Davis, Hill and Patterson(And I'd add Jeff Adrien as a 4th) all offer some skill and should fit the price range. Channing Frye also fits, and not sure how he fits long term plan in Phoenix(He's good, But Len, Plumtree, the Morri and 3 1sts probably fills the big man spots) and he fits the floor spacing role Bonner has played so well.
PJ Tucker does a lot of 1st year Kawhi stuff (Good committed defense, Decent corner 3 but not a creator) that works as depth. Depends on what the Suns do, but I'd be interested in him if PATFO go PF in the draft(though I think SF/SG is more likely given the talent in Adams, Anderson, McDaniels etc projected in the late 1st/early 2nd).
I'll have to see if I can find some videos and info on him. I have to admit, I'm not a big college basketball watcher. I just watch a lot of NBA. My gf will only stand for so much sports, lol
gortat
Doubt the Spurs would offer the full MLE to anyone, they'd value 2015/2016 cap space more.
Aminu or Gasol, assuming we could afford one of them.
We will not be able to pay market value for Ariza, Deng, Lowry or even Monroe.
All four will get serious paydays this off-season.
We might be able to entice a veteran like Gasol or Pierce.
I like the idea of Aminu, or like others have said draft and develop Kawhi's backup.
If Patty leaves, replacing him with a long range pg is top priority.
What about Marcin Gortat ?
Aminu isn't a good enough 3 point shooter for the Spurs' system. Marvin Williams and Ariza are better fits but would cost twice as much. Maybe Evan Turner. In those cases Tim would probably have to restructure his deal. Wes Johnson would be cheaper, but may not pan out for a team looking to win now.
Rsigning Patty and Boris are paramount
Try to get Daye acclimated
If he can produce him and Green share the backup SF job
Wouldnt mind seein a Gortat
He a more athletic version of Tiago
Diaw, Bonner and Mills earned combined about 8.8 mil. I hope it`s enough to keep Boris and Patty.
Daye should be gone. Bertrans or Thomas or Jean-Charles should take his spot.
Bonner should be gone.
Bayness will be gone. Hopefully Spurs can work some deal with Philly for one of their 2nd rounders.
If Patty is resigned, trade CoJo. Kid needs to play, and he wont here.
Spurs win because of team chemistry and basket ball IQ.
So keep Diaw + Mills + Bonner for the vet min, and give the MLE to Kirilenko, and this team will be a HUGE next year !
Gortat is way out of our price range. Wiz will probably resign him.
Develop Daye, he got potential.
AK47 just can't seems to stay healthy at all. Is he really worth the MLE?
If Mills leaves, you guys need to grab Brooks. Dude had some pretty crazy games in Denver when he was starting for them. I do hope he comes back to the rockets though.
Mills should stay with us.
Aaron Brooks? He is like a Westbrook without athleticism
