Official 2014 Free Agency Thread

If we package cojo, ayres, and Bonner at 2mil is the maximum incoming salary 150% of the outgoing?

That, plus $100k.

McRoberts getting a ton of interest. Dude will get a nice offer from somewhere

[Baam]

I expect Bazemore to be signed shortly now, they need a guard for sure with Mills injury...

Watch Frye. I would imagine a similar market for those two with Frye coming out ahead on most list (PHX can easily keep him if they want though).

[Nathan89]

Well given the Patty injury Cojo shouldn't be involved in anyone hypothetical trades.

[Chinook]

I don't see the Spurs signing any free agent unless they lose someone. If one of Ayres/Baynes goes, I'd love the team to add McRoberts. Then the Spurs would have three legit centers and three passing/shooting PFs.

If the Spurs add a 15th player, I think it should be a guard. If DeShaun Thomas impresses his way onto the roster, it needs to be at the expense of Daye/Ayres.

I do think Frye ends up staying in Phoenix but i would much rather have Mcroberts out of the two.

So you're fine with Beli guarding PGs for half the season, possibly even in the POs if Mills doesn't get back soon enough?

Imo it's a given they need an extra guard now...

[objective]

I don't get this Bazemore stuff. Didn't he only put up okay numbers on a garbage team that was just screwing around and getting fake stats the last half of the season?

I didn't watch too many 2nd half laker games.

Nope. He'll definitely be here next season.

[Knoxxx]

Cojo is still very young this gives him more opportunity to develop.

7 months would be January and that's at the absolute maximum it will take to rehabilitate his shoulder IMO. Still plenty of time to work your way into the rotation for playoffs. They probably do need another guard but depending on how serious the spurs really think it is, Cory could carry the load for half a season.

Positive thing about upper body injuries is he will still be able to stay in shape while he's sitting out.

That's the question.

Mills is going to be fine. But even if he were going to miss time in the post-season Joseph would fill that spot.

Anyways, that's why I said they need a guard if anything. I'd like to see someone developmental, though.

I hated that the Warriors traded him. He's like the energizer bunny. Scrappy and plays pesky defense. His offense has come a long way too. He doesn't specialize in any one thing but does a little of everything.

I'm not sure where he gets his minutes with Leonard, Green, Manu, and Marco though. But I can understand why the Spurs would show interest.

If Anderson runs the point he could defend the opposing PG, that could be pretty awesome imo...

Strong likelihood, I'm told, is Patty Mills re-signing w/San Antonio & taking 'til January to recover. Firmer diagnosis to come post-surgery

Why is this so hard for some to see?

Because Pop doesn't trust him, never has really...

[manufan10]

[DPG21920]

Ya - Patty came up aces, but the Spurs had a compe ion for a reason. CJ should do an admirable job.

[Mel_13]

That's your opinion...

[DesignatedT]

My guess is spurs bring in a 3rd pg for cheap. Telfair possibly.

[Chinook]

I'm hoping for Denmon still. He'd be a pretty good sixth guard/hustle guy.
