Official 2016 Spurs Offseason Thread

[tbdog]

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.

We really need shooting which makes MCW a hard sale. I like Noah because he does the dirty work. I couldn't think of a better player for his price to team up with LMA. Makes our switching Defense even better.

I totally agree and both the shooting and Noah. Finding shooters that can defend isn't gonna be easy to find, especially in this free agency. The bench especially needs shooting. It's weird to admit it, but this team really missed the role Marco played. Marco made things easier for Patty and Ginobili off the bench. Jamaal Crawford could be a better version of Marco but he is also getting old. K Mart could be that as well, though K Mart can actually get to the free throw line.

As for the starting PG spot, I'm with Pop, I wish Miller was a decade younger.

[K...]

The bench could really be a lot easier if Simmons and kyle could learn to shoot. Mainly simmons.

IF we could get simmons to play a poor mans mills role we can trade mills. Simmons doesn't need a peak patty stroke but then even mills himself isn't back to his peak. Simmons would be a better defender, better driver.

I would like to see the front office give Printezis a call to see if he is interested in coming over. I think he would do well as the backup PF if Boris/West don't return.

Probably gets paid too much this summer but Biyombo.

[Robz4000]

Biyombo is a good defender, but he really doesn't offer that much else. If the Spurs had someone who could set him up regularly I'd consider it, but at this point he wouldn't move the needle.

Bismack Biyombo is shooting right around 90% rolling to the rim since Jonas Valanciunas went down in game 3. FT shooting still needs a lot of work.

Biyombo >>> Ezeli

Heat doesn't have a rim protector with Whiteside out...that's why Bismark is putting up these numbers

That's true, but he also doesn't play in the best passing team in the league where he's left open because other teams are focused on Dray, Steph, Klay tbh.. That team even makes Speights look good

[TheGreatYacht]

Heat hacking a guy that's shooting 16-28 from the free throw line

That's Pop-esque

[apalisoc_9]

Really need a rollman and a penetrator.

Grats to Becky! I hope she stays with the Spurs another season.

yes me too, she has so much to add to the spurs

[TD 21]

I've never been a Carter-Williams fan, but unfortunately, he's along the lines of what I could see them pursuing. To be fair, he does check some boxes, strikes me as a Spur and his stock is low enough that something like Mills, 29 and maybe Simmons, if necessary, might get it done.

[Robz4000]

As much as I dislike Cancer-Williams' game, he'd be helpful matching up against GS/OKC. If he can be acquired for very little I'd do it.

[K...]

The only job I think Becky would want would be Orlando. Not sure I'd they are calling. No to college. She should try pro first.

Spurs continue to get pilfered. Luckily, the main people are still in tact.

I was actually very interested in getting Biyombo in the off-season as a rim protector and rebounder. I was surprised that he went so cheap and the Spurs didn't seem to even look into getting him. I also wanted Aminu a couple of off-seasons ago. I still think those two would have been great signings. I think the Spurs dropped the ball on both.

[polandprzem]

The spurs with LMA and Leo in the squad and being their best players lacking playmaking. With manu gone or unable to do this duties along with Boris gone we are left without playmaker. As good as TP was at pnr game he just can't create a havoc inside anymore. In todays basketball that's crucial.

So we do need some machines on frntcourt but our backcourt is nowhere. Looking at how Patty played in playoffs. I mean come on. Idk how much Pop believes Anderson can grow and where he can fit ... That's a real tough questions to answer.

I just got to believe in Spurs magic to work once again.

We had no money. We signed Butler, who turned out to be Miller for a min. West for a Min. Traded a second round pick for Mccallum who turned out to be A.Miller for a min. Simmons for a Min. And Bobon for a nickel. All our cap space went to LMA.

They will. They have a 3 year window with LMA signed up to do something. Even if TD and Manu stay for one more year, they will look to build a team for that 3 year window. I really hope those two opt out and resign for a min. Manu and TD can still give a solid 15 to 20 minutes. Manu should be a 3rd or 4th wing option these days, and TD should be bench center. But at their contracts, we are kinda stuck. I seriously believe Diaw is gone with his 7 mil contract.

OK so here's the Spurs salaries for this year and next two years:

Player 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18

LaMarcus Aldrid $19,500,000 $20,500,000 $21,500,000
Kawhi Leonard $16,500,000 $17,500,000 $19,000,000
Tony Parker $13,437,500 $14,445,313 $15,453,126
Danny Green $10,000,000 $10,000,000 $10,000,000
Boris Diaw $7,000,000 $6,500,000 $7,000,000
Tim Duncan $5,000,000 $5,500,000*
Patrick Mills $3,578,947 $3,578,948
Manu Ginobili $2,814,000 $2,940,630*
Matt Bonner $1,499,187
David West $1,499,000 $1,552,000*
Boban Marjanovi $1,200,000
Kyle Anderson $1,142,879 $1,192,080 $2,151,704
Jonathon Simm $525,093 $874,636
Andre Miller $396,844
Kevin Martin $317,475
Rasual Butler $1,499,187
Ray McCallum $947,276

Team Totals $87,365,099 $84,583,607 $75,104,830
* = Player option

Right now we have $85M spent on contracts for next season, assuming Tim and Manu and West all use their player options. (Simmons is a team option but it's only 875k so whatever.)
My question: what is the new salary cap going to be, and when does it happen? Soon, right?

(Oh crap the table formatting got deleted and it looks like , but the question is still how much is the new cap?)
