I'd be livid if we brought Tyson Chandler to this team for the next three years. We need to dump Tony and make move from there.
I called Kawhi at the time, tbh. I don't know of any hidden Kawhi's at this time. I'm wondering what PATFO is looking at though.

Kennedy isn't the best, but I wouldn't completely doubt this is true. I believe the Spurs are really eying local player Taurean Prince. It just makes too much sense imo. Perfect small ball 3/4, and would an ideal energy guy the Spurs will need off the bench at some point. If Green is gone to make room for Durant, Prince is an ideal 3 & D player to have off the bench. Also if they make a few moves it probably wouldn't matter much, if they pay the rookie contract for an american player even going after Durant. I believe the Spurs are really going to commit to Anderson being the backup point guard this upcoming season, and they hope he could be a poor man's Shaun Livingston especially if Manu and Mills are gone.

Mentioned Prince earlier, makes perfect since. I would be willing to trade Mills to Philly to make sure The Clippers didn't snag him. We should consider using the 29th on Petr Corneille/ Stephen Zimmerman
PG-Parker
SG-Green, Manu, Simmons
SF-Leonard, Anderson, Prince. Bertans
PF-LMA, West, Anderson
C Duncan/ Starting C, Boban, Corneille/Zimmerman
the length on that team would be impressive. Prince and Bertans may not play all that much but going forward both could be rotation players
Taking high pick with high salary ends Durant chase, way before it even starts
Lots of talent in this draft...
The Suns aren't moving Chandler using 13. Maybe they'd move him for 28, though. The Spurs would be able to and should try to get a deal where the Suns get Diaw's contract, some third team gets Mills and the Spurs get Chandler, 28 and whatever the team was willing to pay for Mills. The added benefit is that the Spurs would still have an option for cap space after that.
Oh, it's nice to see you remember Kurt Thomas.
Well, that's not likely to happen. But the team may well have room for other things after this.
You called Kawhi before it happened? That's a pretty amazing prediction.
Of course, you spent months insisting that Jimmer Fredette was the answer to all the Spurs' problems. If I average those two together, you're still below .500.
Good job on the Kawhi thing, though.
Not shedding Mills, Diaw, or Green's contracts ends the Durant chase before it even starts
Wait for 1 July, talk to Durant, then start shedding contract`s to make space. Taking 10mil+ in late June won`t bring Durant to table
Isn't Diaw's guarantee date June 30th? If he isn't traded or cut by then, he'll be very hard to move. Teams know what happens when Diaw isn't motivated, which he won't be.
He's pounding the foie gras with both hands.
I don't care if you believe me (though I could probably find posts from another message board if it's that important to you); but as someone who closely followed Jimmer, of course I was very familiar with Kawhi. I contended he was a top three to five player in the draft and considered that he was possibly the best player in the draft. I wondered what 'the experts' thought they knew when he was routinely being left off their top tens. That was my analysis at the time. I wasn't saying he'd win MVP awards or even make all-star games. But within the scope of draft, that's what I had. And I absolutely had him ranked ahead of Kemba. That being the case, I was certainly pleased when the Spurs traded for him.
Diaw was such a fn monster in 2014. Seriously one of the best playoff performances by a spur. Saying that, it just doesn't look like he's going to regain that level of play anymore for whatever reason.
Diaw may have been useful against the Warriors' small lineup. But he's simply too small, too soft and too overmatched going up against OKC's Porn'stache Towers.
Eww no.
Diaw's shot is completely gone. He point blank refused to shoot anything outside the paint, with good reason as he's been terrible at it last 2 seasons. He's even lost his ability to convert in bully ball situations, something that was pretty much automatic in 13 & 14. It's simply time for Diaw to retire, tbh.
With Bulls blowing things up, and if we lose out on any big names (likely), why not consider trading a package around Diaw for Gibson. Salary are close.
Another reason why PATFO was stupid to not send his lard ass packing after '14.
I can kinda see the reasoning for why they didn't. I myself thought that '14 would make him hungry for more success, but it simply made him hungry.
But they'd definitely be fools if they are hoping he is gonna turn it around next season.
Lets get that #3 from boston tbh
If they keep him expect Diaw will bring in an easy bake oven right next to his cappuccino machine.
Baldwin ========= Spurs point guard of the future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Noah at center, LMA and Durant at forwards, Leonard and Baldwin at guards!
