Yeah they only go for Conley if they off load Parker. Addition by Subtraction
Conley
Green
Kawhi
Aldridge
Horford
Mills
Korver
Anderson
Boris
Boban
Not a huge fan of Conley and Horford, but that might be good enough for a WCF trip.

Any decent PG's in the draft the Spurs could pursue with a trade like they did with Leonard? Haven't been playing attention to any type of pickups they could swing with that.
And how does that work with the cap?
Cap what? Cap this!
Armchair general managing doesn't require numbers other than 1-15 for roster space
Spurs can't try to hit a home run by landing Conley, they need a team from 1 - 12 at the very least.. Need to spread the small wealth around or deal parker to get some flexibility to get a group that compliment Kawhi and Aldridge. Problem is they'll think that TP will be the same or even better in a new role.. they'll draft and stash as always and we will fill the roster with Keith Bogans level vets that suck come playoff time.
We're getting either E'Twaun or Langston, they both played well against Porker just like Miller and McCallum did.
Conley wow. Allow me to dream.
Atleast this scenario seems more realistic than Durant
Spurs biggest need is a competent/ starting worthy Pg. Who wont be a liability on the defensive end like Tony & makeshift PG patty were.
Conley fits that bill and more
A hardcore defensive big like Robin Lopez for example is what the spurs need most at the moment imho. You can't expect any legit success in the playoffs if your best defensive big is a 40yr old Duncan tbh.
Conley is a very good PnR/PnP player, he's used to playing a a jump shooting big b/c of Gasol.
There is no way to get BOTH Conley/Horford w/ Boris on the roster. Would essentially have to do a sign & trade w/ the Hawks for Horford in exchange for Porker/Diaw.
I want Butler from Chicago. Him and Kawhi clamping down on defense would be legendary
What do you mean? You think Tony is going anywhere? I think on loyalty alone they won't move him... And you can't redo his contract. He could come off the bench tho.
Spurs found a way to dump RJ's ty contract on the Warriors and so they should be able to dump Parker, but they won't. They'll ask Parker to become more of a distributor and Pop will try to fit a square peg into a round hole once again, and because of the great RS record and Parkers uptick in assists, Pop will be considered for CotY. Then the playoffs will come and Parker will go into "I have to score, this is my time, Tissot" mode.
Looking at the cap situation, getting Conley only makes sense if the Spurs jettison Parker. It won't make sense to get rid of Diaw or Green just so they can max out Conley and have a $14 million PG sit on the bench.
And I doubt Parker will be traded, maybe eventually get less and less minutes but being traded would be a huge surprise.
get it done RC and trade porker asap!
How about Spurs make a phone call to Larry Sanders for the vacancy in the big roll.. Fresh legs, seems like his head is on right and just work into his contract fresh urine from one of the ball boys and that'll do it. Guy was a defensive and rebounding monster.
If Tim and Manu retire we gotta get rid of him Splitter style to give Kawhi and LMA a real chance to win.
Jimmy isn't that much better than Danny as far as defense goes but he would take the offensive burden off Kawhi/LMA. They would essentially be a modern version of the mid 2000s Pistons.
Not true. You need 1-8 with 2 specialists. 10 man playoff roster is kinda the max you want, but you really want 8. One back up big, one backup point guard, one backup swing. Take 2014 finals for example, spurs played 9 guys. But game 3, Beli was the 9th player in our rotation and got only 6 minutes. But because of Duncan's age, (if he returns), you want 2 backup bigs. In saying that, you need all 13 to get through a season. However, look at the roster for a second.
Parker
Green
Leonard
LMA
TD?
Diaw
Patty
Anderson
Simmons
That's 9. But Anderson and Simmons are not quality playoff rotation guys yet. They need far more work. And the jury is out if Patty and Diaw can perform at the high stage again. If we resign Bobon, he can be one of our specialist. This is why signing a player like Conloy is not a great idea if we use all our cap, because we really need depth. And I don't see trading Parker, Diaw, and Mills will get us 3 playoff worthy contributors. Spreading the wealth by trying to get players like Noah and Batum for example can really give us some good looks. Then perhaps try and grab a veteran like Gasol.
Spurs had a chance to draft Butler but picked CoJo instead.
Chicago will only trade him for nothing less than Kawhi now.
More than likely Durant stays in OKC now (unless the Warriors sweep them) so Conley, Pau Gasol would be good fits for the Spurs and resign Duncan, Manu for cheap as bench players in what would probably be their last season (if they don't retire now), roll the dice and see what happens.
This team desperately needs a defensive/rebounding center.
J. Noah would fit that need of rebounding and some toughness. Add Matt Barnes too. Give this team some balls
