We have no fountain of youth. There needs to be change. That said, I want TD and Manu back but we still need to get younger at the same time by getting rid of some of the other guys.
Spurs are really in a tough spot, at this point, tbh, knowing they can't be legit contenders with Parker in the starting lineup..not sure how you move forward with a below average PG getting paid a ton of money and hurting the team on the court..

Tony was ing things up for Tim back in 2004 - ten years later he's still chucking the team out of the playoffs. Porker effectively killed the Tim Duncan era.
lol. some fans are re ed. I'd prefer to ride a championship team for as long as possible if the main players can still get it done.
all them young Sixers will need some championship experience and mentoring, plus the Sixers need to get to that Salary Floor.
TP + 1st round pick for Wroten
overpay Green
sign LMA or whatever

Any scenario that has the Spurs trading Parker is unrealistic.
It's a shame.
After the Knicks get Monroe in free agency, they'd have some room left.
I would beg the spurs to deal Parker for the remaining 2 years of Jose Calderon. Straight up. Knicks would be able to absorb the difference. Parker even in his prime wouldn't be a triangle fit, but when the Knicks only are able to overpay Monroe, they might be desperate.
Parker for Calderon straight up. Wow. You really think Calderon will be the better of those two players over the next two years? That's a serious question; not rhetorical.
And splitter, bonner, ayers, baynes,
Yes, 100%.
Parker's severe disrespect for Duncan and the organization by not keeping the weight off ... Can't trust him.
At least Calderon can shoot.
Both can't penetrate or defend, nor lead a team, but at least Calderon could make shots and his salary is 7m, not 15m per year....
But, I Don't want any euro softies to run this team anymore, TBH.
All true.
The good news is that without that existing relationship Pop won't hesitate to pull Calderon for Mills when Calderon is having problems.
Calderon shoots great and doesn't turn the ball over.
, Calderon was close to Parker in the 2014 first round, and Parker has fallen off a cliff since the
Someone needs to get to Bonner, if bonner supports it then Pop will consider it.
I've changed my mind. Acquiring Aldridge via sign and trade retains the MLE, which they can use to sign Ajinca. He's turned into a quality backup since returning to the league and would be a decent enough placeholder post Duncan.
Diaw, as a match-up proof, play making four, is just too valuable a player in today's game to give up. He's also stout enough to defend most centers for the stretches he'd play alongside Aldridge, who's a solid enough defensive rebounder/rim protector to work next to him.
Splitter's lack of durability is also too glaring to ignore. If he's the one kept, when he inevitably goes down, they'll have no credible third big/backup center, since they obviously won't have the money for a quality third center.
Aldridge/Diaw/Jean-Charles
Leonard/Anderson
Duncan/Ajinca/Ayres
Green/Ginobili/Jenkins
Parker/Mills/Wright
They can totally keep Baynes if they stay over the cap. Joseph too. Don't want Ayres back under any cir stances, and I think that goes for PATFO as well.
Here's my issue w/ Green:
He's a SG only. He can defend other SGs and some PGs but he's not really suited to handle bigger SFs night after night.
Why not bring in Kris Middleton (who can defend 3 positions and possibly smaller PFs), shoot just as well and possibly cost less. Couple that with picking up a guy like Justin Anderson or Anthony Brown or maybe even Jonathan Holmes. Quite frankly, the Spurs can't afford Green and I'd much rather have Aldridge than Green.

Hope we could land Aminu for that backup 3 spot.
Without calculating all the projections, they'd probably be well into the tax, which essentially means paying double for two third stringers, both of which are due a raise, even if they agreed to the qualifying offers. Seems too good to be true.
It's not that I want Ayres back, it's that they'll probably need third center for the minimum and he knows the system and is a good teammate, so I essentially picked him by default.
They would be pretty stupid not to look at him when they whiff on the other two big names, this one seems logical. I looked at this stats last year though and he shot 41% and 27% from three, could use improvement there. Agreed but will Aldridge come? That is the huge question. That scenario seems right but seriously it's a big? right now and only time will tell on that. I hope Aldridge comes as most do in here but if they whiff on him and lose Green as well that would suck.
BTW Middleton can shoot you are right, had no clue he shot that high from 3 PT range. he would be nice

Middleton is going to get overpaid so that's not even in the equation
Your right.
