Spurs Salaries and Contracts: Who stays, who goes...

[TDomination]

So in a year where we saw a lot of new faces, I expect us to see even more next year.

This was probably the last year the Big 3 played together.

LOCKED IN FOR 2016/2017:
-Lamarcus
-Kawhi
-Parker
-Green
-Diaw
-Patty
-Anderson

RETIREMENT
-Miller will likely retire
-Manu will likely retire
-Bonner will likely retire
-DWest has talked about retirement after this year.
-Duncans decision to play is still up in the air but he can do whatever he wants.


FREE AGENTS
-Martin: doubt he comes back. After a full training camp, would he be any better?
-Boban: I hope he stays just to deal with big teams (as long as Pop plays him. If he doesn't play him then please get someone over 7ft that will actually see the floor)

PLAYER OPTION
-Simmons: Has potential. Definitely want him back.

That Parker contract

[Brian Windhorst]

That Parker contract

Legacy contract tbh. But he can play for legacy somewhere else.

[MVPCues]

Aren't there a few team options in there? Bobo.

[Kikoluna]

Anderson is locked in? Shiiiit

[Chinook]

Aren't there a few team options in there? Bobo.

It's not a team option. It's just partially guaranteed. Team options are uber-rare outside draft picks. Lance like the only notable one coming up this summer.

[Russo21]

Get rid of Parker, Bobo and Mills also. Should get a couple of good players out of them.

Can't believe you didn't list Bonner.

Nobody else in the league would take Boris unless we bribed them with a draft pick. Just gotta cut him. Hard to tell about Patty. PATFO might bring him back, keeping their fingers crossed that he will regain a reliable three-ball, which we desperately need. Tony's trade-immunity is also a little harder to gauge than previous years, too, given the team's desperate need for a bigger, better defender at PG. This season he has generated more of Pop's ire than he has since his first couple of years in the league. If Bobo's not playing at all last night is an indication that he is gone, what does Tony's playing 23 minutes indicate?

[Russo21]

what does Tony's playing 23 minutes indicate?

I dunno what did it mean to you? To me maybe it means that Pop thinks he's not good enough to be a starter or finisher anymore especially in playoff basketball. 23 minutes in an elimination game from your expensive starting point guard is rather odd. Which means he should be gone next year or played strictly as a bench point guard.

[DarrinS]

That Parker contract

[Russo21]

Hopefully Mills and Bobo can be moved due to their names. And hope that other teams didn't realize they totally sucked this year. Hopefully they remember the championship year instead lol.

[spurs1990]

How about Pop's stubborn playoff coaching.

Any chance that gets altered in 2017?

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that MVParker was on the bench at crunch time in favor of Miller when we made our one run. Maybe PATFO believes he can become the leader of the 2nd unit when Manu is gone. But maybe it means that he is now tradeable - at least on our end.

Yes I think Bobo is only partially guaranteed so him returning is not certain. Have no idea why he was benched. It had a lot to do with our bench giving them the game.

[AFMadison]

FFS keep Boban

Bobo's non-performance this season and post-season will bring memories of his time in Charlotte front and center. No way he is a tradeable asset.

[TDomination]

Lol I guess I just really want him gone

[MVPCues]

Thanks. I must have mis read what the colors meant in the numbers thread a few weeks ago. Maybe someone was speculating and I read it as fact.

[Chinook]

I'm pretty sure that Simmons doesn't even have team option. It would be shocking if it's not just non-guaranteed.

[gambit1990]

who i want: kawhi, la, td, manu (but i don't want him signing and/or playing until the all star break)

who i want but would be willing to give up: simmons (i want him but wouldn't say he's untouchable if the price was right), green, patty. would take west back for the right price but i do not want him playing center

indifferent about: miller (big fan but he's not getting younger), boban (his size is blessing and a curse... he gets blown by easily... not convinced he can contribute against elite teams), anderson

who i don't want back: "mvparker" according to some you , diaw (done with his ebbs and flows tbh), k mart, bonner

[Big Empty]

Need a West/Boban replacement that can be effective against an OKC. Diaw is still very usefull in a Warrior Cav matchup.

He just needs to lose some weight. How committed will he be? I felt like he was just flat out lazy this year. I love Diaw, I feel he brings a lot to the Spurs (besides food) but he needs to lose weight. I watch some videos of 2014 finals and you can completely tell the difference. Lose weight, come back and be better.

Tbh, I wouldn't be totally shocked to see him return. Not rooting for it, just saying'... the end of the big 3 era - Duncan, Ginobili, Bonner.

I think the same of him. He was the 15 th man so to me he was fine for what it was but I do feel he was there fir TD Manu and the old gang. With them retiring that spot is better used for a development project, whoever it may be.
