State of the Spurs Heading Into the 2015 Offseason

[baseline bum]

already did. plug in whoever. you have all season to plug in and plug out average SGs.

you get only 1 shot at the franchise bigman.

anyway, all this is moot. Lamar is going to LA

How are you getting an average shooting guard with a minimum salary slot? That's Bonner money, not average shooting guard money.

[baseline bum]

Nope, even in the event of Manu returning, that should not impact Green. Spurs can still get the cap space with Manu returning by moving just Tiago/Mills as long as Duncan's deal is the same (or less) as reported - 6M.

With Manu, the only way he impacts that is if he wants more than the BAE which seems very unlikely at this point.

And like you said, there is also the S&T route. There are many ways to get LMA while keeping Green as long as Tim's money is where it's been reported and the Spurs can find takers for Mills/Splitter.

You really think Manu would play for less than Mills?

1. Green is NOT that good. Plenty of players out there that could fill in successfully if we have a franchise bigman next to Duncan up front.
2. I'm not going to do a $ for $ analysis of which SGs we can possibly get as it's a waste of time at this point
3. All this is moot. LA is going to LA
4. Green is NOT as good as you make him to be. Sure, his D is nice to have and when open can shoot it. But he's not going to be open if we have Splitter and Duncan up front.

Absolutely - especially if he see's Tim taking a massive pay cut. Also, keep in mind, it wouldn't be less than Mills. If Manu took the BAE (like Tim taking 6M in year 1) what the Spurs likely do is offer both of them partial guarantees on the 2nd year which actually inflates their deal (although delayed slightly).

BAE for Manu really has him making around 5M for the one year and 6M for Tim has him making 10M for one year.

Once again you can't answer a simple ing question.

Excellent on target read! Glad you and ST are back!

already answered. Fill in whoever. With a franchise bigman + Duncan + Kawhi. Anyone can play.

, put in Deladelovalova, bring a ing euro scrub, bring back Neal, whatever

I don't know, I don't see it. He has tons of money and these seasons are starting to be real grinds for Manu as his body breaks down. I'm not even sure I'd want him to take a huge paycut and then get in the mindset of not having to live up to a decent contract as the season drags on.

It wouldn't be that big of a paycut..

Neal's not a minimum player. Dellavedova won't be either.

[peacemaker885]

Thanks for the post sir! You are sorely missed over here.

We've had some great conversations and I'm sure quite a few people have learned a lot this off season about the salary cap, team management & roster building.

True, but it seems you have to wade through a lot more bull to get the good stuff these days.

True, I am not getting the point of having a garbage backcourt in a perimeter oriented league.

Nah, just a moment of lucidity in an otherwise endless morphine-induced haze.
