I want Diaw for his amazing passes and makes our offense flow
I want Mills cause he is instant offense is getting better as a PG and will take big shot
I want Baynes because we could have drawn Houston and the Grizz
I want Bertans cause he will be a upgrade to Bonner
I love Patty but I'm hoping its in the 4yr/16-18mil range. He's a terrific teammate and I love having him on the team but he's replaceable tbh....
4yr/22mil for essentially a backup 1 & 2 for the duration of his contract is a little steep, especially when Mills' only above average NBA skill is shooting........
4/22 for Patty? Maybe on some other team, but not the Spurs. He will get what about Mugen said. 4 million a year is a nice payday for him to stay with a team that has a chance to play for a le yet again with teammates he likes.
I think we can all agree that Diaw is our #1 priority. Mills puts the bench and team over the top with his A game.
Diaw has made himself indispensable if the Spurs want to contend in 2014-15.
Spurs have to bring back both, it's in there best interest to keep the corporate knowledge for another run. 4 Mil a year for 3 years seems like a solid offer while the kettle is still hot.
I don't know why anyone is even talking about Diaw. He's not going anywhere.
I see Patty as the starter in 2015-16 after Tim and Manu have probably retired, and TP is given the option to stay and help rebuild, or take a trade to a contender.
Patty is only 25 and has another level of improvement in him I think. Just like TP, his range of useful skills will continue to develop.
Like you, I hope we get him for 18/4, but I think 20/4 or 22/4 are worthwhile to keep him.
Here is the Spurs' salary situation: http://hoopshype.com/salaries/san_antonio.htm
Do you think Duncan is going to retire? He's dodging the question. I'm alittle nervous about it.
^ yeah diaw isnt going anywhere unless a team overpays him, and i mean like overpay him 3-4 times his value (which isnt gonna happen), diaw is staying with tp and the spurs
as for patty, i hope he does stay
Not at all. It's standard issue stuff until after all the championship stuff is over with. With Manu already committed, Tim is as good as in. He already said long ago he would play until "the wheels fall off." Not sure what you saw this season, but he looked as if he wasn't close to that.
He has been great at 38. Acually, he has been pretty much on par with the elite bigmen in the league. Its just the dodging the question part I was nervous about.
Yeah, Tim will certainly play on. My guess is he and Manu retire together after next season, and Pop probably goes with them. It'll be a sad day when it happens.
It's natural to dodge it. There is nothing to announce until he sits down with Pop and RC. Things have worked like this with the Spurs for years now.
I doubt he retires. I think he might opt out and sign another 2 year deal for slightly less money, 2 yr 16 mil. With the extra 2 mil, this will ensure both Diaw and mills are back. It takes awhile to
learn the Spurs System so keeping both is essential if the Spurs are serious about repeating.
Duncan should state that he sprained his thumb bowling and state that he's retiring, then report to Spurs' practice the next day talking about how good the medical staff is to get him in shape so quickly.
I think they both stay unless Patty gets a ludicrous offer elsewhere. If he does leave, there are a bunch of good PG's in this draft. And we'd have money to spend on another FA. Hope we retain them both though.
Hope they both come back as they are both two very important cogs in our well oiled machine of a team...
Looking at that salary table, if only by comparison, I'm not sure Mills should be getting more than Green's per year salary.
Equal to might be justifiable, given their relative skillsets.
They both dodged the questions in their exit interviews... If they both stay, can they afford Gasol?
