Make a run at a Plumlee brother or something.
I really don't think Asians should tell everyone what the definition of "big" is...
Make a run at a Plumlee brother or something.
We already have the New Big 3. Aldridge/Leonard/Green.
I don't see any big free agents in 2017 that would both be willing to come and fit here. Parker will be 35 but the big free agent options are Curry, Paul and Westbrook. Don't see Curry leaving, Paul will be past his prime and I'm not really sure how well Westbrook style fits with us.
I like the thought of Ibaka next to Aldridge but he (and Westbrook) will certainly stay if Durant signs a new deal next year.
I think the most realistic 'big name' we could land would be Gordon Hayward. Unlikely to command the new 'super'-max which means we could bring in another decent player, perhaps Jeff Teague who I really like or Hill.
Looking at salaries we'll have around $38m. Take of a couple million for draft picks and Pattys salary assuming we bring him back, that leaves us with around $30m. $20m for Hayward and $10m for George Hill? Probably not enough for either though
And have two max contracts at SF position? I'd rather to think in rim protectors, a decent C. There is one on the list of 2017 FAs?
Aside from Ibaka, there's no great rim protector to put next to Aldridge in 2017. There's Dwight but I'm not even sure how good he is anymore, let alone in two years. I expect we'll have to find a center in the draft, and hopefully already have one in Mulitinov.
I don't see any reason why Hayward and Kawhi couldn't play together, they could both play as wings or in a small ball lineup when Kawhi slides to the 4.
Agreed. It seems like the Spurs have to develop a draft pick, Milutinov'll play with the Serbian team at the European FIBA tournament I hope we can watch him play.
I wouldn't bench Danny to play Haryward, with Tony's decline as defender the Spurs will need a lot of Green guarding PGs and SG, but I understand what you say about the wings, I'd love to go small with a Green-Hayward-Leonard lineup.
All I want is RUDY GOBERT. This is a guy who is going to win DPOY a lot. Give me him and Spurs would be set for years. This guy is Mt. Mutumbo who can can run for a big guy.
Agreed, tbh. MVParker and Diaw going to get the job done.
LaMarcus, Leonard and Patty Mills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gobert, also at the end of his contract, in gonna be rfa..so is one we can probably forget to sign.
If Bobi pans out, that could be a real steal...at 27 he's still young enough potentially for at least 5/6 years.
Have fun watching Dirk limp into retirement with Zaza as his partner
Gober scared our guys in last regular season game with Utah better than Ibaka in 2014 WCF G3. He could dominate if he gain 10 kg of pure muscle mass.
Mills, Leonard, Aldridge!
Leonard, Durant, Aldridge
I still think a playmaking guard will be the more fitting addition in 2017, with Manu gone and TP in his 17th season. Unless Pop goes back to 4 down again.
1.) Leonard 2.) Aldridge 3.) Green
Peter Holt, Gregg Popovich & R. C. Buford
Revision
if we can get Gorgui Sy Dieng ?someday then Dieng at center, and LaMarcus and Leonard at forwards could be our big three....
I agree that i think Mulitinov is being groomed to be the long term starting center but looking at the list i think Pau Gasol would be a nice option for the short term. Overall game is similar to Tim's and he would come cheap.
I would love Hayward if he is willing to take over Manu's role & be the 6th man which im sure he is not.
this is a pipe dream, but let's just say Timmy retires after next year (which could happen, not saying I want it to). 1 free agent that most likely wouldn't come here but I think would be a perfect fit next to Aldridge is Joakim Noah at the 5. Great passer, very good defender, and most importantly can defend the pick n roll and defend in space well. He's like a better Tiago splitter.
What do yall think? Just my opinion. Obviously that only would be a possibility if Duncan retires.
