Set in cement if ya know what I mean.
Gasol is too old and slow -- exactly what the Spurs don't need in the post.
Hopefully TD is back with a repaired knee and Boban is back and improved.
The Spurs need a young athletic defensive-minded big to develop. Easier said than done.
Maybe, that Cady Lalanne whom they drafted last year.
Jamal Crawford
Ya already dude
That's the only Kawhi's Twitter follows. Could be nothing.
I would hope that acquiring either Brandon Knight or Jeff Teague are the first priority. Allowing Tony to move to the bench and occupy Manu's old spot as 6th man. Bring over Davis Bertans and possibly Nikola Milutinov, letting them rot in Europe. Hope that Jonathan Simmons can develop enough to be the first SG off the bench or try to lure either C.J. Miles (not sure if he's a FA), Allen Crabbe or Kent Bazemore. Draft a young, athletic wing man or combo guard to groom behind Tony or Danny/FA signing.
Pick up either Ian Mahinmi or Plumlee on a dirty cheap deal, draft A.J. Hammons early in the second round. See if Timmy will comeback in a limited capacity as a player/coach and defensive anchor.Try to lure Manu out of retirement in January or February.
Drop Mills, Miller, Martin, Diaw, West, Bonner and Marjanovic.
How realistic is Clarkson? What's the most we can give him assuming Parker still on the team?
If they build a more competent, versatile, athletic and better shooting roster than I wouldn't mind seeing Timmy, Manu and maybe even Boris returning. Boris might need a more traditional and athletic center beside him to play more effectively. Possibly giving him a last chance while grooming Anderson (he will never be a small forward, TBH) to replace him might be the most logical move.
Duncan and Ginobili postponing retirement for super limited roles is something I could roll with.
Well if Conley and Horford are the main talent we are chasing. Maybe the shake up isn't too dramatic. Are Bertran and Hanga ready for the NBA? We know Bonner and Miller are gone. What about West, Boris, and Patty? Do they keep Martin and try to teach him some defense? Reckon Anderson, Simmons, and Boban are affordable enough to keep. For now I'm going to suppose Manu and Tim return.
Tony/Conley/ Mills
Green/ Manu/ Martin
Kawhi/ Anderson
LMA/ Boris/ West
Horford/ Tim/ Boban
Not a bad group.
Why chase after Conley when his best days are behind him? Big Al isn't a true center and won't help on the glass.
The Spurs are much better off gambling on a young guy like Meyers Leonard, although he has his issues with injuries, or even Miles Plumlee who they can likely get for around the mid-level exception.
Jeff Teague is their best option if they can pry him from Atlanta. He isn't as efficient as Tony, but he has a lot of the same attributes as a younger Parker.
I would love to have Manu and Timmy back if we acquire any combination of Teague/Knight (too pricey)/Plumlee/Leonard/Mahinmi with better wing depth/scoring. If they gel quickly the team could still conceivably be a top 4 seed, again.
Well there are too many unknowns at the moment. Salary cap is predicted to be around 89mil. We have just over 87mil taken. However, here comes all the unknowns. Diaw is unguaranteed at 7mil. 3 players have player options: TD 6.4mil, Manu 2. 9mil, and West 1.5mil. Bobon has a Q offer of 1.5mil.
So IF TD, Manu retire, Spurs realistically net about 18mil in cap space. By letting Bobon go and West not picking up his option, we can get over the 20mil mark. Hopefully for us Spurs fans, TD and Manu come back, and if we dump Diaw and say Mills, we can net around 12mil in cap space. As you can see why Spurs fans want Parker out, cause he is owed 14.4mil.
One thing I dont know is: if a player give up his player option can he be re-signed for the minimum? if the answer is yes, Tim, Manu and west could just renounce their option and open cap space so we can sign them later after a decent free agency...
Who could fix my account? I can't start threads, can't access my profile and edit, i want my account to be fixed or delated...
Spamming every ing thread with this isn't going to help you dumbass. There's a reason why you're on a leash.
This is not fair...
Pop's inep ude made sure Durant will never come.
Spurs could be involved w/ Horford. Don't see Hawks facilitating that unless they're getting Danny Green.GSW can't open cap space for Horford without a trade so they would have to send something back. Much more promising than Spurs flotsam.I can see multiple scenarios where the Hawks facilitate a sign and trade of Horford to GSW: Bogut, Barnes or Ezeli could be a Hawk.
Shed some tears!
With Freak emerging in Milwaukee, what about trading for MCW? Long, athletic, great defender, cheap. Chip works wonders on his shot, Parker teaches him the system and becomes 6th man if Manu retires (highly likely).
At C, a few people have suggested Noah, and on a decent salary I think he'd be perfect - strong defender, great passer and screener, perfect fit next to Aldridge. I hope Tim also returns to play mentor and 15-20mins off the bench.
MCW/Parker/Mills
Green/Simmons(/TP-Mills)
Kawhi/Slo-Mo/young athlete
LMA/West/Diaw/Bertans or Milutinov
Noah/Timmy
1 flex spot to try to keep Boban if West moves on or retires, or bring in another athletic wing.
Having West/Diaw/Noah/Mills is a setup for failure and a carbon copy of what just happened in the playoffs.
MCW...wouldn't mind.
Noah would work wonders in our system next to LMA. He is perfect for LMA actually. We do need address our bigger pg need.
I would like to trade for MCW, he is aggresive player and a good defender at the guard spot... And who know, with Greek Freek use as a PG it might be realistic to trade Patty(in some way) who could fit what they need...
I think Noah would be a good pick up granted he stays healthy. Unlike a lot of bugs like Adams, he's a great passer. He's got that annoying Draymond personality and would be cheaper than Howard or Horford. Likely too risky, even at 31 yrs old.
I find the MCW idea interesting. Again, risky to bet Chip can fix his shot. Bulls Ron Harper is an achievable goal. Again, high risk high reward move.
Realistically, outside of Simmons' development, I'd like to see Cady on the roster and find out if he's a 3 or 4. He has really work on his 3 pt game. I'm excited to see what RC does. There is a legitimate shot at a championship should RC get it right.
