Marion top two options are Spurs and Rockets for full MLE

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

I think I could be OK with that. Definitely won't want to give him multiple years. From the remaining guys left, I'd definitely consider giving it to him, but only for one season or with an team option on the second season.

How about Aminu for the BAE? You think he can be had for that?

Anyone think Blatche might accept the BAE? or would it be too low for him? Can anyone comment on his defense? Can he at least play better defense than Ayres? How is his rebounding?

I don't think his defense is significantly better, but his offense is without a doubt.

In before 90 pages and 10 extra of meltdowns.

Thanks. I should have mentioned that I don't need to know about his offense, as I definitely know it's much better. Just wanted to know more about the rest of his game.

Sure - fit aside, I was just answering a question about which guys available would I be willing to dip into the MLE for. I agree there are much better fits for Blatche, but if he were willing to come to SA for MLE, I think he's one of the few that is worth it financially.

Agree about the PGs in general, but there are more minutes for back up PG's on the Spurs than almost any other playoff team. A PG wanting to win + get minutes could do a lot worse.

How much would you give Blatche? When you say MLE, do you mean part of it, or do you think he's good enough to get full MLE type money?

Well for Spurs, I want them to be mindful of 2017 when making moves. I definitely think he probably earned himself a full MLE deal but I don't know if I would want that.

[FireMicoHalili]

Probably won't end up in SA, but I'd prefer him playing back-up SF/PF over Daye/Ayres. No roster spots left until they dump someone.

I would love Marion for the MLE especially on a one year contract. Not getting my hopes high I still thinks he returns to Dallas. If we sign him, either Baynes is not coming back or now that summer league is over that the Spurs are going to get rid of either Ayers or Daye.

I wanted Marion at the start of the offseason, even more than Gasol. They could actually use Marion. Still, OP is posting bull so far.

Anyway, make with the gifs. The first two have been awesome.

Don't want Marion. I don't see any upside on having him, tbh... he's well past his shelf-life, and I rather the Spurs develop a youngster to back up Kawhi.

You're not going to find anyone nearly as productive as Marion is to back up Kawhi, even at his age. And Austin Daye is about the best you're going to get as far as youngsters go.

But Pop has a hard on for washed up turds. You know this. Anyways, I'll take Marion if it means waiving Dayres.

He's an over the hill guy that can give you 10 and 6 playing 30mpg. Playing just 20-25, he's due to give you even less.

Here's how I look at Marion: can he still defend (his best asset) at a high level? No, he cannot. He can't move laterally anywhere as good anymore.

I rather use those minutes to develop Daye or Anderson. You might get less production overall than Marion this season, but you're building something there.

At the end of the daye, if Kawhi goes down, neither Marion or any of those other guys can come close to replacing what he brings, so might aswell save the money and spend the minutes looking at the future.

IMO obvously.

If Marion can't get the $5.3 mil MLE from the #Spurs or #Rockets, he may take the $2.73 mil room exception from the #Mavs, Chi, LAL or Cha.

Later in that thread, Price admitted that it was "just a guess". As Chump stated, not even a rumor - merely speculation based on Playoff teams that have the MLE available.

What if Marion accepted less than the full MLE. Would you still say no?
