So who is going to replace Tim when he retires at the end of the season?

[Kawhitstorm]

I strongly dislike Noah, tbh..everything about that pussy..I hope he never wears a Spurs uniform..

Folks also hate Jason Terry but I don't hold anything players do on the court personal unless they are dirty players. The issue w/ Noah was he was a glorified role player who was treated like a franchise player b/c he has a strong personality like Draymond Green. As long as he can approximate Tiago then all is good.

Darrell Arthur

Undersized/mediocre rebounder but would be a decent D-West replacement.

Ian Mahinmi

Too foul prone to be a starter

Zaza Pachulia

Not a rim protector

Festus Ezeli

He's going to get the max

Trevor Booker

Malik Rose 2.0 aka career backup

[dunkman]

Replacing a top 5 all time player is going to take some time.

I wouldn't want any of those guys starting, I was just naming FA bigs I would be interested in, since there could be multiple spots available in the Spurs frontcourt, next year..

They'll only be able to replace Duncan with a trade IMO..

[SAGirl]

Whoever we get has to be a defensive minded big man. We are not replacing Timmy ever. Yes ripple effect, yada, yada, but at least you want someone to give you some defense.

[Kawhitstorm]

I'm not talking about replacing Tim w/ someone w/ his talent level but rather who is going to be playing in his spot. The only guy who can approximate Tim is Fat Gasol but there are no trading chips to make it happen without giving up LMA/Kawhi (not even sure the Grizz would swap LMA for Gasol). Pau has turned into an empty numbers guy on a mediocre team.

Folks shyt on Joakim for the Nene debacle but Bosh/Chandler got outplayed by Hibbert. He shat on the Worriers last season when the Bulls handed them their last loss at the Oracle: (He isn't a PnR player like Tiago but he can be a point-center like Bogut)

[ceperez]

Why would you trade for Noah when he's out for the season, besides Pau was terrible against the Worriers & can't defend PnRs.

Noah/Pau also weren't a good fit offensively since they both like to play from the high post.

Coz Noah contract ends this season thus freeing 13m a year.

[TheGreatYacht]

I've been saying Joakim for awhile now, tbh... He's gonna come in real cheap because of his injuries and because FA will be pretty loaded this year.

I don't know if Parker really knows him like that, but he can help recruiting him since they he got some French in him. He helped recruit LMA, after all.

Marc Gasol is staying in Memphis. Marc was Spurs first choice but he indicated he wanted to day in Memphis. That's why we have that bum Lamarcus Aldridge.

[Kawhitstorm]

The Spurs can go over the cap to re-sign Noah but that won't be possible if they let Noah walk.

[TheGreatYacht]

With Joakim on the team, there will still be 3 above average passers in the starting lineup:

Parker, Noah, Aldridge

[Kawhitstorm]

You don't think Gasol is having second thoughts now that the Grizz are trying to clean house.

Parker, Noah, Aldridge

You can only have so many Rondos on one team: 50/48/88....never been done

[Kawhitstorm]

I don't know if Parker really knows him like that

Porker was his captain when Noah played for France:




Plus, Danny/Joakim have known each other since high-school:

[Kawhitstorm]

[BillMc]

Oh, if Gobert had only fallen one more spot in that draft. Between him and Kawhi we'd be set on defense for a decade.

[spurs10]

Yeah I'm pretty sure Pop and RC would not like to even sit at the same table with this colossal dumbass.

[G-Dawgg]

Spurs can still trade LMA for Pau + Noah. Bull may just bite now that LMA is an All-star.

Spurs have to do this because you want to have the flexibility in the next coming 2 years to get a real rim protector.

Spurs have now sunk to maybe 4th best team in the league, after Dubs, OKC and Cavs.

I was thinking more along the lines of pairing Pau and Aldridge together if Duncan decides to hang it up.. Who else could we even give up? Danny Green? +

[Kawhitstorm]

Yeah I'm pretty sure Pop and RC would not like to even sit at the same table with this colossal dumbass.

“He’s the heart and soul of the basketball here,” Popovich said of Noah. “The thing he does are varied. He doesn’t just rebound. He does a whole lot of things that make him very valuable. But you guys don’t pay attention to that stuff.”

[Brazil]

I strongly dislike Noah, tbh..everything about that pussy..I hope he never wears a Spurs uniform..

Not to replace Tim's attributes, but FA bigs I'm interested in(no order):

Darrell Arthur
Ian Mahinmi
Zaza Pachulia
Festus Ezeli
Trevor Booker

When I saw OP I was pretty sure you would comment on it... not sure where this "hate" comes from. You usually like dudes with a big motor <3 Westbrook

People here are just They dislike Noah because he is arrogant and trash talk or something but they do like SJax

Noah is a hustler, he puts all he has on nightly basis, he has been put on the bench and shut his mouth... and he is a elite passer at his position... spurs system and FO would love this kind of player.

Now we cannot count too much on the French connection tbh... Noah cut the ropes with FNT a long time ago, Boris and TP respect him but they clearly dislike the fact he is snobbing France NT.

I hate anybody that has French roots, bro

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Noah. Yes is an awesome passer and a great rebounder and when healthy is a top 5 one-on-one defender in the league. IF Tim retire this year, I would like the Spurs to try to pick him up this offseason.

[Brazil]

That's funny because Noah is not really French... His dad roots are african and his mother is Swedish... Dude barely speak French (I saw some interviews and it is almost pathetic), never really lived in France, don't want to play for FNT, don't give a about anything related to France (he would be incapable to give you the name of French president)

For the rest I'm sure you don't hate my man French Boris
