There has to be some overseas players the Spurs are looking at
Considering Pau/LMA are skilled bigs he would have to be the garbage man somewhat like Aminu on the Hornets.

Meh. I was hoping that he would come back looking better on defense. The turnovers are an even bigger problem then. Especially since there were more than a few times last season when someone else got credited for the TO, but he was really responsible for putting them in that position. I also thought his biggest problem on defense was just footwork, and that's a lot more fixable than a lack of understanding or instinct. But if you didn't see improvement, that doesn't bode well for his future here.
You know, there were also times when I thought he got beat but recovered pretty well. But that could just be me looking for the silver lining. Still, he'd be perfect for a Marc D'Antoni team, as-is. Maybe they'd trade Alessandro Gentile for him?
But does he get into the rotation ahead of Bertans? Do the Spurs primarily run without a bench center and just work in PFs? Can LJC do anything on offense that can help keep up the flow that you'd expect that team to accomplish? I'm just not sure right now. And it's even worse that we haven't seen him play in a year at this point.
It's time to trade for Rondo, the Bulls desperately need shooting now, why not trading Mills with Duncan contract to match salary for him? We needs pg who isn't liability on defense and Rondo at this point is also a better creator for him and others, and maybe Parker could thrive more as a backup/sixth man role...
It's probably best to go small by putting Kyle at the 4 & try to run the opposing bench off the floor. I feel like Bertans is going to be a spot duty type player like Morrow & someone you ride if he's hot.
[Center]
Kyle
LJC/Bertans
Manu/Simmons
Patty
Spurs are trying to reload the bench, by siging a lot of promissing D-Leaguers. Low risk, high gain type of move ? With GSW stacked as , you can try whatever, and never be a loser in such decision.
So where's Hanga headed to?
We're smart. The Spurs are stupid. /threadI remember people here at Spurstalk wanting Livingston before he signed with Goldenstate. I don't get how fans here can recognize someone being a good player and then it appears the Spurs show no interest whatsoever.
So with Manu back, Pop's dream of running a five guard bench lineup is becoming a reality. Can't wait to see Kyle playing the center position.
Jesus Christ, that's one garbage ass bench. Mills is the only player that will score over 6ppg
Boban, Stokes, Simmons, Forbes, Mills >>>> THAT crap
Love how people are so quick to judge the bench, when its day 7 of Free Agency.
Spurs have their hands tied to make any other additions until Tim gives them an answer.
They'll address the front-court when they can w/the resources available -- which is dependent on TD retiring/spreaded & what Manu will make next year.

Whatever happened to getting more younger and athletic this off season? Oh well, but I will say that this current roster will not complete very well in the playoffs. No question there will be heart but there will still be old bodies.
Bertans, Denmon, Murray, Simmons, Khawi, LJC. Not too bad, our oldest players should be just Manu and Pau, assuming Duncan retires and Bonner leaves.
Was this posted yet?

Next years cap dropping from 107 to 102 million.
After The Decision by Manu/Spurs don't bet on Duncan's retiring or Bonner's leaving.
Sad to see Boban and Bobo go. :-(
Well, hope the new team has better rim defense.
Pau/Dedmon
Aldridge/LJC
Leonard/Anderson/Bertans
Green/Ginobili/Simmons
Parker/Mills
No word though of LJC signing... is that legit? If not, Spurs still need to look for a PF.
Interesting to see how this will impact the Warriors. Won't the Durant hold be based on 120% of prior year salary once he opts out? Assuming they renounce everyone else and move Looney and McCaw (guaranteed money) for nothing:
Thompson $17,826,150 Green $16,400,000 Curry (hold) $16,402,500 Durant (hold) $31,848,120 Dead money $945,126 Roster holds (8) $4,499,944 Total $87,921,840 Space $14,078,160
Because Durant will have to be resigned with cap space, Iguodala would have to be renounced and signed into cap space. $14 million plus the room exception is all they will have to play with. That's down from around $17 million.
Assuming Curry and Durant both get full max deals at $33.6 (Durant) and $28.8 (Curry), they'll be at $104.4 million and basically capped out with four guys two summers from now, plus whatever they commit to next offseason. Ring chasers will need to fill out the balance of the roster.
This is why I keep saying Klay Thompson is gone sooner or later. Iguodala too, probably.

I would assume that's where the interest in Willie Reed, J Stokes comes into play if they accept whatever is left or minimum. I don't see the Spurs being able to afford a Thomas Robinson now.
Anderson is going to play PF IMO..with Diaw leaving and Kyle bulking up, it would make sense..
Gasol/Dedmon
Aldridge/Anderson
Kawhi/Simmons/Bertans
Green/Manu
Parker/Mills
This. Weak power forward seems to be way more promising than slow PG/SG/SF in the case for KA.
One thing is for sure, we are going to see Pop try a bunch of weird lineups this year.
I agree, but I think the third center will be more of a tweener like Stokes. I don't think they want a bunch of combo-forwards behind LMA.
