I was replying to the poster that said we should trade Diaw if West joins the Spurs..
Yeah, one wonders if the Lin scenario was if Aldridge didn't sign.
West becomes such a huge (and unlikely - no matter how much he is signaling giving up $ for a le shot) possible get. Sign him and then you are deciding between Bonner as the 5th big or maybe some other vet.

Trevor Ariza man, to back up Green or KL, I'd be ecstatic.
Biyombo has gone to Toronto. 2 year deal.
But yeah, spurs could get Wayne for pretty cheap... and you would likely be keeping him away from the defending Champs who know how to utilize 3pt shooters.
Yea saw that pretty much right after I posted lol. Umm maybe Emaka Okafor? Would like a true center/defensive post. Think he fits that role, could maybe be had relatively cheap.
Kosta Koufus would be ideal. We can't afford him though.
You are right on individual player's quality but as a team there is no enough min to share at backup PF for Diaw and West. Both can't play center and trading Diaw free up cap space to keep Cojo. Spurs need a dirty player and KL needs a backup. Matt fills the need at min salary. If KA do not develop a shot,then he has no future with this team and Spurs need to replace Macro too
They lose Joseph unless he's willing to play for the min.
Only way that SA keeps CJ is if POR agrees to a S&T (doubtful, but possible) or Tim takes the vet min himself. If Tim just takes 6M like reported, that allows SA to keep Mills assuming cap gets the bump we expect. They might have to waive Reggie to get LMA his max, but not lose Patty.
If Tim takes less than the 6M, then SA could very well keep Cory too. Not likely, but again, possible.
Isn't Reggie Williams' contract guaranteed next year? Just a general question.
Duncan/Diaw/Cady
Aldridge/West/Bonner
Kawhi/Kyle/Livio
Green/Manu/Williams
Tony/Mills/Wolters
Kevin Seraphin would be a good pick up. Younger and athletic. Would be a great 4th or 5th big.
Felton Spencer still around?
What about a JaVale McGee reclamation project?
That's actually the most realistic lineup I've seen so far
Nope - that's what should allow SA to keep Mills assuming Tim takes the appropriate salary and/or the cap jumps. They waive Reggie as final cap space push

Does signing Livio to a deal affect their cap room? He's said before that he intends on coming over this summer and I think it'll happen.
It shouldn't affect anything if all the other deals are done first.
Presumably he'd be signed using a minimum cap exception, so that would be after the fact.
The only perimeter player on the market that interests me is Ellington, tbh..not as good as Belinelli, but still a solid spot-up shooter at 1+ PPP, despite playing for teams that didn't generate clean looks very often..he played with Danny at UNC, too, maybe that could help persuade him to sign for cheap..
Otherwise, I'd rather let 8-Head get a shot at playing backup SF..as slow as he is, he's probably a much, much better option than ing Caron Butler or Tayshaun Prince, tbh..
Although I'm not a fan of his, keeping Joseph and putting him at the 2 would be ideal, but I doubt the Spurs can keep him..
He was a first round pick.
Patty is such an important piece, I think they have to do whatever it takes to keep him.
Maybe Tim will take less if the team promises to get him a T-3 Internet connection in the locker room, and a private tutor for his kids to just go on the road with him.
If they don't have to rescind his QO to sign LA, i guess the only thing keeping him from being retained would be what the Spurs would want to pay.
thanks for the answer... very interesting.
