Wow, it was a 2021 2nd round pick that got Burke? Holy , there must not have been much of a market for him

**BatManu20** · 07-03-2016

Tyler Johnson getting $50M

**BatManu20** · 07-03-2016

So glad the Spurs aren't giving out these horrendous contracts to role players tbh.

One of the positives to waiting for KD to make his decision, tbh

He sucks anyway. Outplayed by Raul Neto and Shelvin Mack.

Does anyone remember the movie BASKETball? That's what this feels like. All this money going out to 3rd and 4th tier players is going to raise the ticket prices on the fans. I'm a die hard Spurs fan, but I will not renew my league pass, or go to a game if prices are raised. I'm not paying for this lunacy.

The same rules that apply to Boban apply to Tyler Johnson, right? Meaning, TJ was only eligible to make $5.6 million this upcoming season, but the Nets just backloaded the out of the contract to where he's making $15+ million the last 2 years.

Hopefully no one does that with Boban or we'll be out of luck.

That's a decent contract for Aldrich.

Good for Minny.

One would think that will bear upon how he resolves the situation this summer. That's not to say that the Spurs are clearly a better situation than anyone else who might offer him money, but if the choice is between the Spurs at a smaller payday and an iffy situation with a bigger payday, the Spurs may have an advantage.

Can't argue with any of that - except maybe the part about having any idea what "market" is right now. I just read that Toronto has entered the chase for Gasol. If they think they have a chance, they must believe that his market is a good bit less than Mahinmi got, because they'd have to clear space to even get to $10M. That doesn't mean that they're right, but maybe the market is at least south of Ian's $16M.

I still want to take Pau's silence as a sign that he's waiting to see what KD is doing, and that the Spurs are at least a strong contender.

It's seemingly crazy money for Tyler Johnson but he is a lot better with a lot more potential than people think.

**TheGreatYacht** · 07-03-2016

Someone take Miles Plumlee, next. Please.

Just so I don't gotta hear about those bums on here again.

I'm thinking the Spurs should put in an offer on Allen Crabbe. The Blazers have said they're going to match any offer, so let 'em. After the Blazers commit all that cash to Crabbe, the Spurs turn around and hand an offer to Harkless, and put the Blazers in a bind to match that. Crabbe is a good player, but with Manu coming back there would be a logjam. But... it might be a way of prying Harkless loose from the Blazers.

The only bigs that are being rumored are the likes of Thomas Robinson/Willie Reed whose market value is in the 2/6mill range (room exception). Plumlee is most likely going get the MLE.

**BillMc** · 07-03-2016

I can't believe how many 8 digit contracts handed out to players I've never heard of these last 2 days.

Ditch Diaw to clear some money for Pau, then replace him with Robinson for cheap

No way a team outrebounds a combo of Gasol/Boban & Aldridge/Robinson
