Who the f is willie reed?
yea, its durant then gasol, if not id rather the spurs just bring bertans etc... and try again next year
i dont want the spurs to waste any capspace signing any of the remaining FA
Cp3 and Westbrook are going to have worse contracts then tp
When they age
And you'll believe everything you hear. the Spurs never had a shot at Durant, NEVER! He called the Spurs best player a "system player". After game 2 of the WCF's in 2012, he said the Spurs aren't nothing then, the backdoor sweep happened. They have a pretty good player that plays his position. Kawhi doesn't really want him here since he not only decided not to show up to the meeting in the Hampton's but, couldn't even be bothered to make a phone call to KD like CP3 did. If you don't have the blessing of the team's best player, chances are you aren't welcome. The only reason he took a meeting in the first place was out of respect to the organization.
thinking Mr. second round exit, Pop and R.C Buford could close a deal.
Btw that tweet was a prediction so who really gives a . There's nothing concrete about that tweet. I think most of us here probably thought the same before Stein's tweet.
Yeah, just wait to max out that 1 mid tier player next season.
And I'm a little worried about manu's passive aggressiveness. His agent saying they want market value. Common manu, let's not act like it's 2005 as much as I love him. , I practically have a statue of the guy next to my bed
is durant more likely to announce his signing Monday morning or much later? if AM ET, not too far away now

Don't stay up for it if that's what you mean.
its 3 PM here where i liveDon't stay up for it if that's what you mean.
If that's the case, tell corpse to find himself another team. Pop will just use him as a crutch all season long rendering him useless by the time the postseason arrives.
The reports are that Pau is really holding out for the Spurs. It makes sense is he thinks there is a very remote chance KD joins the Spurs. They may have even agreed on a figure. At least I am hoping. I wonder though if they will move contracts to get it done or not.
If he does choose the Warriors I wanna see this plastered everywhere, Lebron to Miami type of hate
he's gonna be an nba villain, but he wont care once he win a couple of championships
2yrs 28mil is what I'm expecting if we get Pau.
Just like when Lebron won a couple of les with Miami. Nobody cared about the decision anymore.
I think the real problem for the Spurs, though they can't speak for him us that they Need Gasol bc Timmy is retiring.
As of right now, the Spurs have $10,427,634 to sign Bertans and Gasol, assuming Manu comes back for the room exception (which is actually not guaranteed, taking that for what you will). The team pretty much has no ability to go beyond that limit without creating another hole that would potentially take even more cap space to fill than is currently being used.
This is currently what the roster looks like (again, ignoring their training camp guys):
Player Salary/Hold LaMarcus Aldridge $20,575,005 Kawhi Leonard $17,638,063 Tony Parker $14,445,313 Danny Green $10,000,000 Boris Diaw $6,500,000 Tim Duncan $6,393,750 Patty Mills $3,578,948 Kyle Anderson $1,192,080 Livio Jean-Charles $990,700 Dejounte Murray $983,400 Jonathan Simmons $874,636 Roster Charge $543,471 Total $83,715,366 Remaining Cap $10,427,634
The depth chart looks like this:
Parker, Mills, Murray
Green, Simmons
Leonard, Anderson
Aldridge, Diaw, LJC
Duncan
The only hope is praying that A) Tim doesn't retire, and Manu comes back for the room exception, or at least that some serviceable guard does; B) Bertans can be signed cheaply (forget a minimum offer -- think $5M/3); and C) Pau would take what's left over, which is just over $9 Million. Then you use exceptions to bring back Manu and bring in Cady/Ndoye/Lorbek or some other center you can get for the min. That would leave the team with this:
Player Salary/Hold LaMarcus Aldridge $20,575,005 Kawhi Leonard $17,638,063 Tony Parker $14,445,313 Danny Green $10,000,000 Pau Gasol $9,393,000 Boris Diaw $6,500,000 Tim Duncan $6,393,750 Patty Mills $3,578,948 Manu Ginobili $2,898,000 Davis Bertans $1,578,105 Kyle Anderson $1,192,080 Livio Jean-Charles $990,700 Dejounte Murray $983,400 Jonathan Simmons $874,636 Cady Lalanne $543,471 Total $97,584,471 Remaining Cap Space -$3,441,471
That's about $16 Million under the tax, so some trades could definitely happen. No Boban, but that's for the best in most of these scenarios. The depth chart looks like this:
Parker, Mills, Murray
Green, Ginobili, Simmons
Leonard, Anderson, Bertans
Aldridge, Diaw, LJC
Gasol, Duncan, Lalanne/The Field
That's not bad -- I could see that team catching fire and winning a le -- but it's obviously not where it needs to be. As always, using Mills and/or Diaw to acquire an offensive guard would be nice, especially if West was willing to return on a min deal to fill that backup PF spot. The issue is that there really isn't a good candidate for a trade. You have guys like Ty Lawson and Jennings still in the wind, but they might get more than the team can or either is willing to pay, and that's ignoring that those team might not even want Diaw or Mills back or even be able to complete the deals, as they could have already used their space. The Pel might be willing to deal Evans or Holiday, though the latter is extremely unlikely. The Pacers could move Ellis.
That's not really possible.

The Timberwolves, Spurs, Clippers, Thunder and Pelicans are interested, and Thomas has received at least two offers that would slightly top what the Knicks can do.
Like Lance Thomas...
Chinook, what is the scenario if TD retires? I find it hard to believe Pau and the Spurs will be a thing unless TD retires bc of Pau diva allegations/touches.
Manu doesn't sound like he wants a smallish deal and he opted out to get more that is absolutely clear.
Where does this leaves Boban?
