Not officially. Obviously it's more difficult now, but it's still possible if KD decides he'd like to come to SA (which has always been a long shot anyways).
So basically the Spurs are out of the KD's free agency extravaganza but still plan on meeting with him.

^ We still have to trade away Green, which appears the most likely scenario regardless if Tim opt out or not. Just due to roster balance, having Leonard, Durant, Manu, Green, Anderson, and Simmons is a crowded wing combination. Green has the most value of the expendable players and can net you a low costing good player like Deing.
It is likely Tim spoke to Pop and co and asked what they think. Perhaps they said they were not spending high amounts this offseason that would require Tim to opt out, and for the two players you would spend money on (Durant and Horford) and obviously not Conley, and they already have trades lined up if they need to shed salary, (highly likely they have agree packages already in place for players like Green, Diaw, and Mills).
Aside from Murray, don't really see much coming out of the young guys. Would be a waste of LMA and Kawhi's prime to surround them with washed and green players IMO
Conley shouldn't have been an option in the first place if the Spurs won't get rid of Parker. Good to know the FO isn't completely crazy. Keeping Diaw is somewhat surprising though. Knowing the Spurs want to keep Boban and bring in a bunch of rookies plus Duncan opting in means we are in for a very boring off season. Biggest signing will probably be Plumlee and a cheap wing.
Definitely saw this punt coming. Next season won't see many improvements though.
So if the Spurs aren't planning on getting Conley that means we should expect Parker to be a starter until he is 40 years old? I mean you just know they will re-sign him after two years. He'll never come off the bench. Plus Manu looks like he is coming back next season.
When will the Spurs have a new starting point guard, four years after Murray has developed?
Staying in Memphis IMO..
That bum will be back 100%, you know it.
Diaw is done.
Spurs don't plan on waiving Diaw. Ew.
He's valuable trade bait.
Think so too. But I feel like he wants to leave.
You're right - but it always comes down to a little luck, as well. FO came up big with Manu Tony KL - certainly. But there have been a limited amount of moves that have paid dividends if you're strictly talking over-the-top. To be compe ive for as long as they have is extremely impressive.FO has made some poor moves, as has every other FO in the NBA. My point is that Spurs' FO hits more often than not, and has made some absolutely brilliant moves which brought us a ridiculous 5 rings in 15 years, yet somehow some people still want to pretend they're crap? I think those people should off and adopt another team. I despise ingra ude.
None of that was aimed at you, btw.
Spurs always aim for the le,
anything less is a failure
and Spurs fans are spoiled
in other words, this better be a good offseason for us again, like last year
so, Spurs are going to keep Diaw?????
I'd be interested in replacing David West with Andrew Bogut if he becomes available, which I'm sure he will
I think (and hope) so. Most have very short memories of how important he was to our success against the Warriors and other teams that tried to play small ball against us. I know that he has his warts, but in a week or so Boris' contract will look staggering in comparison to what's being doled out. I'm counting on him working hard this summer and coming into camp in shape (insert prayingdog.jpg) and playing a HUGE (figuratively, not literally) role in our success next year.so, Spurs are going to keep Diaw?????
Thats your problem.
I'm confused about the choice to bold the word "was" because it was literally the last time that he stepped on the court against them, no?
As for the "working hard" and "coming into camp in shape" comments, I realize that it is highly optimistic (hence the "insert prayingdog.jpg" remark) - but if Boris wishes to cash in one more time next year when the cap balloons again, he'll have to be motivated (and I honestly feel that he will). And similarly to what they say about Bruce Banner - You don't want to see Boris when he's motivated! ;-)
tsssk, tskkk....
i hope Boris Diaw will be serious about this upcoming season
TOO MUCH COASTING AND BODY FAT AC ULATE TO A DEGREE WHERE IT BECOMES THE ENEMY!
------------------------------------------------------
if i had the skills of Diaw, i would take ALL my seasons seriously......
After the 2014 championships some players declined to never came back again DG, Patty after the surgery and of course Boris, thats why the was is important.
Boris is a lazy ass he will never work hard, never did in his lackluster years, he is into safaris girls and parties, the only reason he plays basketball is because the checks are great.
After the championships Spurs offered him a motivation check if he was able to lose some weight and he gave 2 s about it, they lost to the Clips and did he work hard and came motivated for 2015? nope because he is not into motivational hardworking stuff.
Boris got his ring and now his lazy habits are getting into the team, same with Bonner and DG.
Conley is only meeting with the Grizzlies and Mavericks now. Looks like the Spurs are not going to strike out in free agency this year. Instead of trading Diaw and Mills they are sticking with the same bench that struggled to score in the playoffs.
