Diaw reaches deal with spurs - 3 years/$22mil

[exstatic]

Love it! Now he needs to spend the offseason working on his outside shot. He needs to be more consistent on his threes and be able to be a little bit more of an outside threat.

Not sure what you're looking for. He shot 40% this year. That's elite for a big.

I really doubt Anderson sees much time on the roster next year. He'll almost certainly be in Austin most of the year like Joseph in his rookie season.

He'll have to be on the 15 man NBA roster at all times, no matter if he's playing here or Austin.

Gasol should now consider us more seriously since this Spurs team is primed and ready to repeat no matter where he chooses.

OK. Thanks!

good deal for both parties, glad to see we have the team back together. I wonder if Tim decides to stay one more year after this. Lets say hypothetically the team gets another ring and Tim comes out healthy just as he did this year while playing at the same level, does he come back? does Manu? what do youll think?

You can't find out you're done until you are. I'd hate to see Timmy wind up like Hakeem, a sad shadow his last year.

Double up and punch out. If Manu and Tim roll off, that would also allow us to pitch Gasol with a 2 year MLE deal with an opt out next summer, and pay him more than OKC or Miami can.

I'm satisfied. Good deal for both sides, tbh.

Now let's just try to keep Baynes and maybe our stretch four +/- king Bonner!

I believe Damion James has already been cut loose, freeing spot #15 for Anderson. DJ is on Detroit's summer league team, meaning he's no longer under contract with us.

I saw Damion James on a summer league roster that wasn't the Spurs. Detroit, I believe.

[Taking it to the Hole]

Our FO got it done! I don't think any other team in the league that is a better fit for Boris so I am glad he is not going anywhere. I am not sold on the idea of targeting Gasol with the full MLE, but if we get him, so be it. Maybe being in a better culture and not having to carry a team will rejuvenate his career? Spurs are know for jump-starting veteran's careers so anything is possible.

[Marcus Bryant]

Now get Gasol on this team.

bobo!

[tholdren]

So I wonder how aggressively they will go after Gasol?
If they really want him badly they will have to entice him better than Miami, OKC, and the other teams offering the MLE, as well as those offering more.

I think the mention is just FO trolling, so everyone jumps on the Gasol ship, and throws a wrench into the mess that is FA2014, while SA either does nothing and laughs or does a sneak-a-roo....

or I could be totally wrong and SA gets Pau

Either way, GOOD CONTRACT

[BatManu20]

Excellent

[ChumpDumper]

If you can get Gasol for the MLE, you do it and figure out the rotation later.

Ah, I was so close!

I'm guessing he'll get 3yr/$21M.

Anyway, this is awesome news. Anything else the FO does after this is just cherry on top tbqh.

[Obi Juan Kenobi]

Fantastic player for what he brings to this team at fantastic price, Spurs front office does it again!!!

I think Diaw's market value was 3 yrs / $21M. The fact that he got $22.5M makes him slightly overpaid. But given that only $18.5M is guaranteed, that more than makes up for it, especially if the contract is front loaded.

One thing Spurs fans should watch out for 2 years from now is Boris being dangled as a trade chip. A partially guaranteed 3rd year would make him an intriguing asset for a team looking to create cap space.
