a 1st round exit from our "best perimeter defensive duo" is win win????

The Lakers aren't wasting time, they'll meet with LaMarcus Aldridge at 12:01 AM tomorrow night. (LA Times)

Carmelo Anthony has reportedly already called LaMarcus Aldridge and DeAndre Jordan to try and recruit them to New York. (@Chris_Broussard)
Who plays PG on your championship team, "tbh" ?
First round exit was not because of Green or Kawhi. They were two of the three best defenders on the floor in that seires. The loss was due to Tony Parker being non-existent (thanks to three injuries). Also, the Spurs BARELY lost in game 7. If Parker shows up just a little bit the Spurs win the series, so yeah, keeping Green and an ever improving Kawhi is a win-win. Especially if Parker has a bounce back year, which I think he will.
Splitter being hurt also was a huge factor in that series.
So if Parker shows up just a little we pass round 1. then what? Parker needs to recover more than a little bit for us to be real contenders. Not banking on that. IMO Porker has carried this team for too long.
We need a new franchise player if we want to keep competing. (and no Kawhi is no franchise player, he's a great 2nd banana thou)
You've got a good point, but Parker came in from China for it. So while its not necessarily a bad sign, it's not opportunity for a good sign that didn't happen.
Maybe they didn't invite manu because he's still unsure if he wants to return and they're letting him think it over.
Heard a quote of Pop on Mad Dog Radio.
He was asked about being the first team to meet with LMA at like 12:01 am. He said he would be in bed sleeping. That if any player needs him to be meeting with him at midnight, then that player isn't worth it.
That is where you and I differ. I think Kawhi can be a number one. It would be better for the Spurs if he were to be a number two option, but the Spurs cannot hold a gun to LMA's head and force him to come to SA. Like I said I would LOVE to get Aldridge. I would lose my mind and probably dance around. If the Spurs do not get him though, I am not going to say the Spurs are done. I trust PATFO to retool around Kawhi if LMA turns the Spurs down. I don't think it is Aldridge or bust.
And to answer your question, if the Spurs win round one, I think they beat Houston, Golden State, and Clevland.
no he can't. he's already proven it. He lacks the playmaking abilities, dominant post game and overall leadership a franchise player requires.
agree. but we cannot call ourselves "contenders" (on paper) come game 1 of the season unless we have an Aldridge caliber player on the roster.It would be better for the Spurs if he were to be a number two option, but the Spurs cannot hold a gun to LMA's head and force him to come to SA.

I don't see how we would have beaten GS. (or a healthy cleveland, whos to say Irving woulda injured himself in game 1?)And to answer your question, if the Spurs win round one, I think they beat Houston, Golden State, and Clevland.
Nice, up to page 32.
so if Manu retires this all would be easier?
what is he waiting for?
He has just started to scratch the surface of what he can do. Up until last year he was basically defering to the big three.
That may be the case, but I really do not rely on whether or not the Spurs are considered contenders "on paper." They have been written off "on paper" so many times in the past, but they are still here, and still relevent, and still in le picture talk in 2015. Any team with Pop as HC and Duncan on the floor cannot be written off come game one of the season.agree. but we cannot call ourselves "contenders" (on paper) come game 1 of the season unless we have an Aldridge caliber player on the roster.
One of the discussions has to be how much they can offer him. So the Spurs have to have numbers in place right? IE- Duncan, Manu, Green
starting PF. Tim starts at C.So I know this is probably a given but, starting role right?
This was a great read. I love the loophole they mention. Thanks for posting the link.
It's a pretty bad read, actually. There are so many cap nuances they overlook that make it harder and easier at the same time.
You can say the same for every young good player. But most times they reached their ceiling.
Sure. But this is a forum and its the summer. Our chances of being a true contender next season are astronomically higher with Lamar signing.That may be the case, but I really do not rely on whether or not the Spurs are considered contenders "on paper."

I trust in you on this subject Chinook. But what do you think of their essential point of signing TD for the minimum this year in order to sign LMA, with a wink wink deal he signs another 2 year contract for $20 million next year, though he'll only play the first year of the second contract. So, in effect Timmy would get the minimum + 20 million for playing 2 years (on 2 contracts totally 3 years time).
If Tim were to do this, they say, we can probably choose to keep all but one of Mills, Splitter, Boris and Danny. (It seems Mills would be most likely to go, as he won't be as useful when Manu is gone). Is their argument viable?
