We hold Diaws Bird rights, we can go over the cap to re sign him
Now that we know how much Patty is signed for, how much cap space do we have left? I def would like Diaw back and maybe its a pipe dream, but id like Gasol even if it means trading Splitter. Sorry if this is a duplicate thread i went through 3 pages though.

Congrats on reading three pages of another thread. That's splendid.
Spurs should resign Diaw with few problems. Gasol is a possibility but he'd have to take the MLE and, if Splitter isn't traded to give him the minutes he may want or deserve, he'd need to be happy with an I determined role and unlikely crunch time playing time.
Agreed, trading Splitter for post Duncanobili assets and signing Gasol would be a fantastic idea.
trading away our 29 year old big and acquiring a 33 year old isn't helping to post Duncanobili era
34 year old as of Sunday.
Definitely not getting any younger. How many more years left in his tank?
Post-Duncan/Ginobli era will need a dominant low-post threat. In fact the way the Spurs play Duncan now, is ideal for how Gasol plays. Taking uncontested 15 foot jumpers.
Spurs can structure a deal that is back loaded. MLE this year, 12-14 million per when Duncan/Ginobili retires. Note: Parker is also out of contract after next year.
2015-2016 Spurs Roster:
Parker, Mills, Joseph, Cotton,
Green, Anderson, Belinelli
Leonard, Bertrans, Jean-Charles
Gasol, Diaw
Splitter
No they can't.
i thought he was 31. well id still like to have him but i guess ur right, not at the expense of Splitter. Splitter did play well in these playoffs. Damn time flies.

No? Oh well.... they have to come up with something creative.
Sign and trade Splitter perhaps?
Can't do anything creative with the MLE.
Of course it does as you're getting future assets in the trade.trading away our 29 year old big and acquiring a 33 year old isn't helping to post Duncanobili era
Besides a 34 years old Bonner took Splitter's spot in the rotation when the Golden god was covering in the foetal position...
MLE is a set design. If you could do stuff like that we'd see all sorts of teams pursuing big name free agents offering one year of MLE and then huge raises. But we don't. Exceptions have very specific rules.
what did you think of Splitter's defense in the Dallas and Portland series'?
Not worth discussing Splitter with him. He's got a schtick and he's married to it.

no, unless there were more to it than Splitter and Gasoltrading away our 29 year old big and acquiring a 33 year old isn't helping to post Duncanobili era
A trade for Splitter improves the odds that Ducan wins another le.
If Duncan retires without a dominant center then the chances of the Spurs winning again diminishes tremendously. I doubt Splitter can ever be dominant.
Have you seen Gasol play recently? He is near done. You think Duncan has lost foot speed - Kyle Anderson is faster than Gasol....
Yeah gasol is not that good now. Not a fan.
So how will Baynes impact the MLE if signed?
None really as he received a qualified offer and I doubt a team pays him more than that.
Also,
People think this 2008 Pau, just look at Wade this season, basically what has happen to Gasoline since then.
Also,
Haha stupid auto correct put gasoline when I typed Gasol.

I agree with you. I just don't see why so many want him here since he is not what he was.
If I had a choice, which I don't, I would much rather have his brother Marc on the team.
