Based on the premis that Tim Duncan and Manu are going to retire.
1. Make sure I bring back the following players. Simmons, Anderson, Mills, and Marjanovic. They will keep our bench productive.
2. Create enough cap space to go after Hassan Whiteside. He is young, and a player that can be very effective without the basketball, he would also be the perfect compliment to LaMarcus and Kawhi. Second choice is Ian Mahinmi Very similar player to Whiteside but at about half the cost.
3. I'd draft the best available player but specifically look at PG or 2 guard as my top priority.
4. I would NOT bring back the following players: Boris Diaw, Matt Bonner, David West, Andre Miller, and Kevin Martin. Time to move on from these old dudes and bring in some new blood.
I would quietly shop Parker around, if I had a taker I'd do it unless it was taking back a worse contract. If I don't find the right deal, it is no big deal to keep him and try again near the trade deadline. He still has a little bit left in him, but his expiring contract is very valuable to many teams.
This team needs a little more re-tooling and it will be ready to win championships again.
That plan is at least slightly unrealistic. It would rely on the cap being near $96 Million to all fit together unless Parker is moved.
Ever grateful that you're not in Spurs management.
I'd trade Turnrique for a 2nd rounder straight up at this point
You beat me to it man.![]()
Porkers contract does not expire this upcoming season.
Signed thru '17-18![]()
Kyle Anderson is a good young player entering his 3rd season. You are fools to think he sucks.![]()
Should change his name to James
Kyle Ander sucks, let him go
Anderson? I think I'd rather have James Anderson tb

You should post a pic of the moves you'd make tbh.
If the goal is to draft someone who can contribute, then shopping Parker needs to be done prior to the draft, which means it probably won't be quiet.
Anderson is slow, but the way the league is going 6'9 small forwards/power forwards are all the rage. My guess is we draft and pick up as much of those guys as their length helps them guard smaller, faster players and if they can learn to shoot the corner three, then they can spread the court. Anderson, flaws and all, has value if he can shoot 30% from three. He's incredibly slow, but useful when he can get switches to post up guards and when he can play the four and shoot threes.
^^^ I agree with your moves though I haven't seen Whiteside vs Mahinmi enough. But I get your point on us needing a rim protector to move on from Tim. He should be young and able to rebound!!!! I liked Biyombo for his motor and energy. Anyways priority agreed upon, same as old players they need to let go.
Pull up the KA Draft Thread. Almost everyone here thought he was a "Manu replacement"
Cat Barber can be the next Parker.
I prefer that Brogdon guy from Virginia who shut Barber down. And Brogdon is a decent playmaker too.

lol apalisoc still posts with this ty alt? Parker isn't the reason we lost, got.
Dont you dare talk to Andrew Hansen, the millennial Messiah like that!
Evita is being deployed on a mission to Brazil to take out Enrique.#CIApop
Two more years on Parker. Next year is a killer as it prevents Spurs from using cap space before the huge jump, but the following year is tenable if cap is $107 million (only 14% of it). Knowing how the Spurs treat their long timers, everyone here should work under the assumption that Parker will be an overpaid guy at his level of production, but still playable. Better than stretching him and having a $7.5 million hit for two years after his contract is up.
agree with a lot of this but shopping Parker.
You don't shop a hall of fame best point guard in franchise history. You let him play out the contract, he's earned it.
That said, I don't think there's any room for a Mahinmi. That said, is he really going to help vs the Adams of the world?
Remember also jettisoning Boris. Your doing all this building, to beat a OKC team, who is the rarity, as opposed to the norm, which is everyone else playing small.
You can't overreact to just one team as opposed to the rest of the league. Jmo.
He's a damn solid improving player that will work in the NBA as a small forward, decent three.
To get a decent to good player at 29 is again, a miracle. It's a coin flip on players 20 down.
If you can get to offload Parker´s contract for nothing, say a 2nd and an exception, you´ve got to do it, no matter what tim and manu do.
The reason is that while this season there are no great players to add, the Spurs will be in position to sign a big FA next year, and if they sign well this year they could have the deph in this market, and get the star in the next one.
I really don´t think there would be teams willing to give us an exception for parker other than maybe Utah.
