Awesome Dingle Barry ! Keep 'em coming people.
Want.
Yes
How much we could offer him without losing Green?
Definitely should go after. The closest thing to a superstar that may actually want to come to San Antonio.
Well he does have a kid here so maybe we have a chance at him.
I don't think its about how much, I think sometimes its more about timing and getting everyone in line at the right time.
IIRC like 17mil before we gotta dump salary
They're pretty much exactly at $15 Million.
If the Spurs decide they have to move Tiago, what would a sign and trade with Portland look like built around LMA and Tiago?
Those are disparate salaries so who would have to be included, or could the trade be uneven if the Spurs have the cap-space? Is a trade exception generated?
So how much would the Spurs have after signing KL, green and Beli?
I'm conflicted on LMA... He's the best FA available that I think the Spurs have an actual shot at landing, but in a perfect world he's not the big I'd build around. Here's the thing though: if the Spurs can get him for 15 mil/year that will look like an incredible bargain in 2017-18 when the salary cap is expected to rise to 100 mil. At that point, he'd be easy to trade if the situation wasn't working out... in fact, he'd be a good trading chip either way. I worry about the Spurs gutting their depth in order to make room for him though.
The Spurs would not have to match the salary in a sign and trade. They could use their available cap space and it would generate a trade exception to Portland.
The 17 must have been with Mills getting dumped. I played around with that idea for a while. I don't think its an option after seeing Tony in the playoffs though
Sadly Beli isn't getting resigned
It's fine due to cap space. Problem is I think Tiago would be traded to someone for value. Ie lakers or Celtics. I could see them giving a late 1st or early 2nd for him. So imo if Portland wants him they'd likely have to add value to Aldridge. Otherwise we just cut them out
Or the Spurs could add about $5 Million to Splitter's salary and take back Aldridge while staying over the cap. Mills/Anderson or Joseph on an MLE S&T would do.
I dont think we can trade Patty and Kyle Anderson at this point. Kyle is our only prospect as a playmaking wing right now. And Patty needs to cover for Parker.
I'd S&T Joseph in a heartbeat though. Or Belinelli if we can.
Or better yet. Offer Parker and Diaw package and just resign everyone else
I don't know how you can understand why that would be appealing but no understand why the Spurs would want to do whatever it takes to get Portland to agree to a S&T. Ideally, the Spurs would just send out Parker and picks. If that's an option on the table, the Spurs would be fools not to take it. (Though I would try to trade Baynes for something or include him in the S&T to Portland in that case). But the team just can't afford an off-year if next season is Tim's last.
I'd give a pick or 2 to dump Parker tbh
In this scenario, the Spurs would then be in the MLE game right (not cap space)? As well as being able to sign FAs with bird rights?
Yes. They'd also be able to keep Joseph and Baynes as RFAs and trade them for assets if that's that they want to do.
Thanks. Seems to me then that the next call after a LMA for Splitter & parts framework is in place, is to Asik or Chandler to offer the full MLE. Would provide the defensive big replacement, just not sure if the MLE will be enough. Last piece is to sign the rest of the guys with Bird rights or via QO. Not sure what, if any, money would be left for some of the foreign stash.
TP
Green
KL
LMA
Asik
Trading Splitter while Duncan leaves is pretty much a nonstarter. No way the Spurs role with only the MLE/Baynes at the five.
