congrats on the bolding
West would not be bad at all
Sorry if this has been highlighted elsewhere, but any way we'd get him even if we got Aldridge as well?
He'd have to take an explicit back-up role and absolutely no promise or likelihood of being in the game at crunch time.
Don't think he would care.
Well, if he's cool, I'm cool.
He averaged 28.7 minutes last season. Next season Timmy's minutes will be dropped more then ever and with Baynes gone and likely Ayres he will probably still be getting 20-24 mins a game.
Probably could have kept splitter and had West with the mle, and the benefit of not having to gouge and take advantage of Duncan and manu.

Well it all comes down to money then, because WAS isn't a contender.
Exactly how much does West want to win? 10 million dollars worth? Because that's roughly what he'd be giving up to come here.
Yup... if that's what he's saying by declining the 12.5 million player option. I mean seriously, he's 35, his career stats are declining, he isn't as mobile as one would want for small ball.
yeah, WAS isn't a contender... he was smart enough to know IND wouldn't be.
Yeah, i feel like getting rid of Baynes, Splitter, Mills, Marco and Timmy and Manu working for peanuts is pretty bad.
We could have kept the core, picked up west and we would still be strong
If he opted out of 12.5 million to play for less in Washington...
Yeah... doesn't look great.
Baynes was sure to go, we couldn't afford him.
Splitter for nothing is something I don't get.
Marco is a good role player that does well in the regular season, not sure how he gets replaced.
CoJo doesn't appear to be coming back if he's offered by another team. Hope he does because he isn't going anywhere playing for the Spurs.
Well, Timmy and Manu have made their money. Manu hopefully wil just play less of a role and become kind of the 2nd point guard after Parker. I still blame Manu for the loss against the Heat, just too many turnovers.
Meh, I have personally no interest, unless he's coming in to be a back-up.
The Spurs' top priority in free agency, of course, remains their pursuit of LaMarcus Aldridge, but sources say they are highly interested in West whether or not Aldridge chooses San Antonio.

Hope to it doesn't spell the end of Diaw, but don't think it does. If a player of West's caliber is throwing himself at you, pick him up and figure it out later.
To say the truth west would help a lot and could be a great player to have on crunch time from time to time, he would be our best pick and roll defender, and the most mobile of our big men.
Don´t underestimate his defense. The only thing he isn´t is a shot blocker.
He was impressive in the Hornets series, but I wonder how his back is performing. For the cheap, he would be an outstanding get. Gritty, tough and hungry to boot.
Hopefully we can land DW...we have not had an enforcer type player like K Willis or Jerome Kersey in a long time...signing LMA and DW would be one of the greatest off seasons ever.
I've been thinking of him as the new Kersey since his interest broke.
Exactly! We've been missing the kind of "enforcer" type player for a while.
