It's like when your wife lets everything go and the chubby waitress starts looking good.
I'm not sure about the idea of giving this guy a 100m contract. He is better than Parker, but not worth the 70m difference.

You got me there man![]()
we need RW
PASS Conley.
Its superstar or bust for this team
I'd like to see us get Jordan clarkson. He is a big long combo guard that has PG experience. But he'll be something defensively we have had before. He is a good ball handler and scorer to.
Team doesn't need more defense...Christ.
We need a ballsy athlete who can actually take the in' ball to rack, draw fouls, and who's relatively young. Simmons is near his athletic prime, so by the time he develops, he'll be like 30.
I like Clarkson, but I fear the damage has already been done to his development playing for the worst franchise in the NBA. He probably has too many bad habits to unlearn.
While it's possible to trade TP, I don't think the franchise does that unless it's for a no brainer superstar or lottery pick (neither likely). If that's the case, I would rather SA swing a trade for a better back up PG or sign an upside/risk/reward guy to audition.
Then spend their FA money on more depth.
Westbrook isn't a FA until 2017
Pushing 30 and is a good player on both sides of the ball. But we need better than just good imo. Either a great defender or a great scorer and distributor.
Keep tp and start Conley
Bring tp Duncana Manu off bench lol
I just think we're going to strike out in the Durant pipe dream, then the pool gets narrower and narrower, and that's when Conley looks like a good pickup...
It'd cost about $56M/4 to max him out. The main reason why I want to go for him so badly is that that is ubercheap compared to what guys like Conley will get.
Conley only works in a world where you move on from Parker. Like if the Spurs trade Green to make room for KD, then Conley's an awful consolation prize.
haha u guys will ing bout conley heroballing..
You need defense against a PG like Westbrook.
That's why I mentioned him because he's intriguing and you had put that thought in my head. I'm all up for it if that's what Clarkson would get maxed out. Makes a lot of sense too to get someone like him on the team, someone athletic and that can score the ball while not being a liability on defense plus super young with San Antonio connections. Just makes too much sense.
I don't think the Spurs jettison anybody unless they get the feeling they're actually in the race... and I don't think that race is going to be long with KD, at least for the Spurs...
Parker should come in from the bench. It's an expensive bench player, but we had that before.
No one will want to touch Tony for 30 mil over next 2 years. And the ones that will consider it, likely won't offer anything Spurs would like. And this is IF Spurs consider trading him (which is less than 10%?) -- Sa loyal to big 3.
Another option is Jeff Teague. Mills/Diaw for Teague and small filler helps both teams IMO.
Conley and his breaking down body are better than Parker, but not enough to justify the max
Dumping Parker and signing Lin would be nearly as effective and cheaper
Yes! I was advocating a trade for Clarkson back before the trade deadline.
Yeah, if the team does have to transition to a post-BIG 3 world, having the third "star" being a native of the area is a good way to keep butts in seats. As an Austinite, I couldn't care less about the SA connection, but I do realize it's a factor. I have heard people compare him to a younger version of this season's DeRozan. He's not a great shooter, but he can drive, get fouled and make good passes. That's pretty much what Parker used to do, so I doubt the Spurs would even have to change their offense.
We really want a guy who Parker destroyed on the regular in the playoffs? Let's get someone young and develop them.
