Official 2016 Spurs Offseason Thread

[picnroll]

Manu sacrificed $$$ for the Spurs. When the Spurs can give him some $$$ back to make him somewhat whole without cost to them other than the money they should and will do it. Spurs are not the Clippers and Strrling. People who carp about him getting a good contract are FOS.

[NASpurs]

The only thing I can think of is that the team is targeting a specific player and thinks they are going to land him. No idea who that would be, though.

It's amazing the vice grip that Bonner has on the Spurs organization.

[lilbthebasedgod]

Only the $5.6-Million hold does.

So how much do we have to offer anybody?

Because we could have easily kept boban from what it looks like and we're gonna probably pick up someone worse.

[NASpurs]

There has to be something wrong with him. Houston didn't even extend a QO bc they were scared he would accept... He might have real injury red flags... I don't know anything about him but seems ridiculous unless there is a major red flag.

Read up on his injury that he suffered last year. He basically went paralyzed for a while.

Manu cost us Boban. Now they're close to the luxury tax

[I. Hustle]

Every player y'all bring up gets signed instantly.

I really hope Golden State doesn't take Ayres, he really fits what they need.

Geez, I would be freakin scared of GS if they picked up Bonner. The way they are dependent on 3s. He would break Stephs record.

That was supposed to be in blue.

The Pistons can keep Boban. Great guy but we need someone that can move.

[raybies]

Wouldn't mind Seraphin, Hansbrough, or bass

Crazy thing is he'll be automatic with them since the games will be over by the 3rd quarter when he checks in

[Chinook]

Not a hater of Serphin at all. Wouldn't mind Lee, either, if he wants to accept the deep-bench role. Wonder if the Robinson rumors bear fruit. Dude might have a standing offer from the Spurs and is hoping someone beats it.

LMAO you are probably right. They would probably cheer him on to chuck away.

Stooooop you're killing me

I was thinking this earlier today. It would make a lot of sense. Even guys like TJ seemed to be holding out for as long as they could but have to make decisions now.

My bet is SA signs Robinson soon. With TJ getting the min, don't think Robinson gets more and he wants to play; not many teams offer a better chance of that than SA.

RC is somewhere in Vegas driving while intoxicated, did y'all really expect him to call free agents we needed?

[SAGirl]

Manu is probably going to see his minutes cut even more, so his per-second compensation will probably be up there with max players. If anyone seriously wonders if Pop is glad Duncan is gone (you know, because they have avoided anything Spurs related for two decades), then this should squelch that. Pop will lean on the Big Three until they're gone. There is no "well, they're getting older and less impact" in his thought process.

It's rather depressing to me honestly. At one point it's not for the best. The Kawhi fans have been raising about Tony and I stayed neutral in that party bc we still needed Tony but this is just ridiculous with Tony saying he wants to play until he's 40, and Manu at this rate encouraging it. I suppose it's a fallacy that this is Kawhi's team. This is old geezer team lol with just some youngsters balling around them ughhh.

[timtonymanu]

We're saving the minimum for stupid ass Bonner, I bet.

It Still Hurts.

And probably doing blow from some dead hooker's ass crack as we speak.

Good point. Dude wouldn't even call a cab.

I don't fully agree. More than ever, we saw Pop making tougher choices with the big 3. Benching Tim in big moments or not even playing him vs GS (when he was playing against everyone else). TP was pulled in plenty of moments; unfortunately Mills could not step up & neither did Manu (like in the Clippers series).

Manu has been dialled back too (despite usage rate still being high) but with Kyle/Simmons around I do think he will be minimized more. But SA needs him.

[loveforthegame]

Robinson would be my first choice. Thompson and Seraphin after that. Hi skin maybe but not that excited about.

So ... that means Spurs are probably bringing Bonner back.

I think the assumption is going to be that if Manu returns next season, it will be for the min or close to it. I just don't like that he leveraged the Spurs. They absolutely did not have to give into Manu. I'd've let him go to Denver or wherever for a TE. $10 Million was one thing. That extra $4 Million is what takes the cake.

[Ditty]

I'm a little surprised the Spurs didn't offer Jones a contract especially for the minimum. He does have upside still, and would of been a low risk, high reward type of deal. Though I believe I remember reading on clutch fans that I believe Jones doesn't like Aldridge when Houston was trying to go after him last summer.
