I like what I saw from Wes Johnson in LA this year, but he was on a team. Jodie Meeks also wouldn't be bad off of the bench when Danny/Kawhi need a rest
Marvin is more of a 3/4.
Are we replacing Bonner in this hypothetical scenario?

You forgot to list Josh McRoberts, a 6'10'' PF who is a younger and more athletic version of Boris Diaw-- a great passer, and a good shooter from the 3 pt line. He wouldn't replace Diaw though, he'd replace Bonner. And he would pair well with Duncan, Splitter, or Diaw.
He opted in to his player option. I was never impressed with him ,personally. Watched him some on Indy and the 'Cats.
His numbers aren't that great either. 43% FG, 36% 3pt, 8 ppg and 5 rpg in 30 mpg. I'd rather keep Daye.
I really like Al-Farouq Aminu too. He's an incredible rebounder, a good defender, and with a 7'3" wingspan, a physical specimen similar to Kawhi Leonard. His weakness is shooting, but if anyone can fix that it's the coaching staff of the Spurs. He could back up Kawhi at small forward and play some minutes as a smallball power forward.
The Spurs have room for one or two ring-chasing cagey vets. Crazy, they didn't have a single one this year (Jerome Kersey, Fisher, Mitch Richmond types), with the possible exception of Diaw. A guy like Marion would be incredible, but Cuban would murder him before that happened.
Good frontline help seems what is needed, if Patty stays. This team will improve from within, from Green, Diaw, Belinelli and Leonard's developments. At this point you're looking to gild the lilly a little bit.
He opted out, not in: http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.c...erts-opts-out/
His assists per 48 minutes and assist to turnover ratio stats were the best of any power forward in the NBA last season: http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/pl...power-forwards
His 3 pt% was a respectable 36% and his 2 pt% was 51.6%. His overall FG% looks low because nearly half of his shots were three pointers.

Marion is a corpse
Bertrans can come as a backup SF and he is a 3 point specialist.
Incorrect. He's a freak who is still producing at an advanced age. Worth a look at SF backup at least. Reduced minutes could help him be even more productive.
Resign Patty, Daye and Diaw.
Sign Aminu, I really think he's got great potential, reminds me of an athletic Bruce Bowen.
If you do that, see if Bertans can come oover. If he does play him in Austin and the nights you rest the big three.
Really forgot about Marion. Marion would be great in small ball sets agains
T the Thunder. He can still defend, he rebounds, still has some gas in the tank. Can be gotten with the MLe.
Bring back Mills & Boris. Let go of Daye and Bonner.
Hopefully Bertans comes over. Otherwise, I'm good with bringing in a guy like Thabo. He looked pretty done but he's still relatively young and you know he'd revert back to a reliable 3pt shooter on the Spurs tbh
I think the Spurs could use another bench body to defend 2/3s instead of 3/4s as that's what Boris does, but I'd be fine with someone like Marion too.....
Been seeing some here who have been lobbying for Aminu. Gifted and athletic yes, but no 3-ball whatsoever. Why the infatuation? Can he pass like Boris
Replace Bonner with Bertans? Betting he comes cheap or whatever. Cory still seems like a third stringer, jump shot is unreliable. How likely is it Pop drafts someone plug and play and can possibly replace Mills? Hard to find a PG acclimated to Pop's system. I'm betting Baynes receives a better offer while Ayres stays and will be next to Diaw in the pecking order.
We haven't seen enough of Daye to have an educated valuation. I'd rather trade away Ayres who has got plenty of minutes.Bring back Mills & Boris. Let go of Daye and Bonner.

Marion is a good choice. He has made tons of money already, and should not cost much. And from I've seen, he is okay with playing behind young guys.
If the Spurs re-sign both Mills and Diaw I don't see them throwing full MLE money at anyone - they'd have their 9-man playoff rotation set ( 7 + 2 as per minutes played). The only way they'd even consider offering a 4-year deal and dipping into 2016 cap space would be if they're replacing one of the top-7 man rotation - Duncan, Tiago, Boris, Manu, Kawhi, Green, Parker.
I know you were joking, but stranger things have happened.
That would be pretty amazing, but highly unlikely.
George Hill, the gift that keeps on giving. Thanks Mr. Bird.
I've been watching him since high school. My guess is that the people lobbying for him just love his athleticism, and assume anyone can perform well in the Spurs system.
Ooh if people can do that here I want Vesely
Patty is a lock for Philly if the Spurs don't resign him tbh. Great fit bball wise w/ a coach he loves on a team with a bunch of cap space.....
I think they will offer Patty a fair contract for what he does and he takes it.
It might not be as much as others offer like Phil., but the lack of a Texas state income tax will make up most of the difference.
