Official 2016 Spurs Offseason Thread

[cutewizard]

I live in Vegas and we have a couple Jollibees here but was in Philippines in March and will be back at the end of this month. I love it there, and was proud to see many Spurs fans there aswell.

Mabuhay Sir Emperor, long live!

Thanks for your appreciation of Filipino culture!

We should try to get at least either Thomas Robinson or failing that, Luis Scola...we lack bigs bigtime right now with the retirement of The Big Fundamental!

Free agent forward Kris Humphries has agreed to a one-year, $4M deal to return to the Atlanta Hawks, league sources tell The Vertical.

Oh , already posted. I should have checked the previous page.

Scola might actually make sense now. He can take some of those regular season minutes at the 4, we're gonna need them with West gone.

[tav1]

I've accepted that the Spurs will likely hit camp with three legit bigs (Aldridge, Gasol, Dedmon), a stretch 4 hopeful (Anderson), a rookie (LJC), and at least one open roster spot to be filled by a camp invite. Ndoye, LaLanne, and Stokes are likely on that list. Christian Wood would be a good addition, too.

It's difficult to know how the Spurs see their roster, but it looks like:
Parker/Mills/Murray
Green/Ginobili/
Leonard/Simmons/Bertans
Aldridge/Anderson/LJC
Gasol/Dedmon/


But because of Anderson's positional fluidity, I could see team going with two bigs instead of one big and one wing. At this point, I doubt the FO has hard commitments. Better to sit back and evaluate the available market. Make a decision later. Maybe something crazy happens, like Chris Bosh receives a buyout. No sense in locking someone up now on more than a generous camp invitation.

So why do t we trade Kawhi and LMA? That makes no sense. Lol

[TheDoctor]

Those Charlotte teams were fun.. Especially with Larry Johnson before the back injury.

Yup, I remember picking them a lot in NBA JAM.

[gambit1990]

i'll take robinson over scola.

We actually in need of a PF, preferably an hard working, fast feet big. A bonus if he can actually hit midrange shot at a decent clip. We have 2 full time centers in Gasol and Desmond, and LMA can play center and did for about 50% of the time last year. But Anderson is our backup pf, and honestly, you cannot trust that. Let's say LMA goes down for 10 games. Are we seriously going to start Anderson at the 4?

I honestly think we need to trade Mills for a quality big man like Deing if we cannot find a suitable 4.

[Jdspur20]

Well, forget Scola.

[Leetonidas]

well

[gambit1990]

don't see gasol coming off the bench...

but i like this rotation:
lma/robinson
dedmon/gasol

so we'd have have an offensive big & and a young, athletic, rebounder on the court.

[Jdspur20]

Didn't Alex Kennedy tweet a week ago that Spurs were interested in Thomas Robinson? I guess that would have been before Dedmon agreed though. The question is, can the Spurs even afford to offer Robinson anything?

[raybies]

Thomas Robinson anybody?

[tbdog]

With only min contracts, perhaps Quincy Acy is considered.

[Kikoluna]

Man, our roster is bad people. It's going to be ugly. Sure we will win 50 games beating teams like the 76ers, denver, Sacramento etc. But come go time we are getting murdered. After the starting 5, then manu and patty....it's SCARY.

[Thomas82]

What's up with these Tony Parker for Jalil Okafor trade rumors going around on Facebook? I already know that there is no chance of it happening.

If only Josh Smith had better basketball IQ... would be a perfect small ball addition if he could accept a cheap contract.

[Ron Swanson]

Boban to Detroit is official. Wearing #51.

I agree that there is no way, besides they just signed a million PGs I believe including Bayless and Sergio from overseas.

[tbdog]

Even if J Smith had better basketball IQ, I don't see the Spurs going after a head case, where two of the last 3 teams have just waived him just to get him out. With TD gone, we lost a lot of leadership to keep the locker room really in check. We still have that family atmosphere with Pop, Manu, Parker etc, but still... No way J Smith, no way.

Yeah that was a nice way of me saying headcase as well as bball IQ. It's too bad cause physically, he would be a great addition, but not worth the trouble w/o a player like TD in the locker room. Good point.
