I can see Lin happening. Pop likes high IQ players. Doesn't get much better than a Harvard grad.
This could be Deshaun Thomas's one and only opportunity to make a Spurs roster.

Hopefully they can keep him, then..
He's the best perimeter defender on the market, knows the system, and has more potential than anybody the Spurs could realistically acquire..
Same basic result.
He's not even on the summer league roster, so I doubt he comes over. That spot will go to Livio.
Duncan/West
Aldridge/Diaw
Kawhi/Manu
Green/Joseph
Parker/Mills
Ugh, that would be a disgusting lineup, tbh..disgusting..
Joseph's QO will have to be rescinded to sign Aldridge outright.
lol don't need Diaw...
If they lose Cojo, Lin at minimum would be pretty cool. He turns it over, at his worst, and drives and dimes, at his best, a lot like Manu.
Joseph is not coming back with the Aldridge signing. I doubt that he plays for the min.
Parker/Mills
Green/Manu
Kawhi/Prince/Anderson
Aldridge/West/JLC
Duncan/Diaw
That's what I expect to see in the end with a vet PG signed for the MIN as a 3rd stringer.
If you can't go with west, id love to get seraphin
Close to half a million difference if it's rookie scale.
Unless Tim takes less than reported 6M
He's gotta make back that $20MM he was defrauded out of or whatever.
Biggest piece right now is Manu. By far. If he will play for the Room Exception, that gives the Spurs a bench of:
Mills/Manu/Anderson/Boris - at the WORST. That is still a very, very good bench compared to most of the league.
If you add a West, Amare, McGee, Livio-Charles or others, that's just mind blowingly good all things considered with a SL of Parker/Green/Kawhi/Duncan/LMA at the helm
Would need one more shooter, IMO.
I love that pic of Danny in your signature.
Sure, not saying it's likely, just trying to be clear for others that might not understand things as well as you. S&T is the more likely scenario with regards to keeping Cory.
If the Spurs can do that (and POR should be willing to do so now that SA has all the leverage to sign him via cap space outright) they now have the MLE and that is huge.
Agreed. Gotta replace Belli.
Everyone already knows what shooter I want. But yeah, in a league that is going small and prioritizing 3's, you gotta get another shooter.
Ellington is the only one on the market IIRC..
Btw.... Timmy is gonna make back his money after he retires. Big man coaches like Olajuwon make a ton of money.
McGee is apparently being seriously targeted by the Clippers, so I think he's off the table. Not sure we'd go after someone that stupid anyways
I'd obviously be happy with West, although that wouldn't really answer the backup center issue. Seraphin would be a really solid pickup for the minimum, and he's French so maybe we'd be able to snag him for cheap. I think some people are a little too hard on Amar'e - you can do much worse than him for the minimum. He's still an elite PnR big...Manu/Amar'e PnRs would be deadly.
Like DPG said, as long as Manu comes back, I think our bench will be solid at worst. What worries me is someone going down with an injury. If Manu and/or Duncan get injured and have to sit out for a substantial period of time, we could really be ed.
It'll probably be Wolters who has NBA experience and is with the summer league team, if I'm not mistaken.
The bench is going to be atrocious defensively, but shouldn't really matter, they'll probably destroy other teams offensively if West or Amare are the choices..
Non-guaranteed..
