    Getting injured at the end of your career has to be a blessing for some of these guys. As long as it's not something that is lifelong, it probably gives these guys a good breaking point. With TD, the slow fade was tough (even though he led the league in DRPM his last season, unbelievable tbh). But you know he wanted to keep playing and not go out on a second round loss.

    That said, really wish TD would have played this year and (as it worked out) have the big 3 retire together. How epic would that have been?

    The sneaky (and more affordable) play would be to get Livingston. Let him start until Murray is ready, gives us perimeter scoring and creativity, and weakens GS.

    If somehow you could pull Livingston and Re this offseason, you'd have a lot more weapons to support Kawhi.

    I was in Toronto a month ago and the Rap hype wasn't at the same level it was a year ago or even two years ago. I think it's dying down. Would have been worst if the leafs won their series too.

    Tony should retire, rehab a year, come back to play in Europe and make bank based on his name and lower level compe ion.

    If Murray is as good as we want him to be, The spurs would be gold. Not only do they get a great player but also 3 more years of cheap contract.

    I think the spurs are going to aggressively look for a Wing that can put the ball down next year..Specifically a SG.

    That Lou Williams trade for a late first round pick stings more and more. So many options at the deadline and we signed Joel Anthony

    TP was ting on elite NBA players with time to actually game plan for him. Why would he go to Europe?

    Seriously... people saying he should / will retire? I think he's gotta see what recovery looks like. The way he played in the playoffs, no way should he be thinking retirement, regardless of how many people on here want that

    it, if Tony is thinking retirement after this I'm for trading his contract for Melo. This is his last season on that contract too.
    Holy crap that is brilliant. I hope the Spurs FO wold have the balls to do it I think they will remain loyal but Melo and Leonard would be huge offensively for this team. Parker would understand if they did this with Pop coaching they want to remain a contender. Knicks would take Parker for cap relief just to rid of Melo.

    Too sad to even bear for Pop and RC... too much to replace in just one season too. Epic vs. desirable, two different things.

    I'm not a fan of any FA PG for 2018, tbh..Paul isn't coming and I don't want max money for an aging PG like George Hill..

    Hopefully Patty signs a value deal and Murray is ready to start, next year(too early to be a 30 minute starter, but he could split minutes with Mills, ideally)..the key will be finding a Manu replacement who can be an alternative for Green when he's struggling + a SG/SF who won't be a liability on defense..
    , I didn't know Hill is already 31 years old. He's only a year younger than CP3.

    Ya, as much as Hill has improved since leaving the Spurs, he's still a mediocre ball-handler(for a PG) who doesn't really run an offense at a high level(masked on Utah because they have a variety of players with ball-handling skills)..his game probably won't translate well with age compared to somebody like Chris Paul(I don't want him either, though)..

    My biggest concern(moving forward), is TP tries to make a big comeback and the Spurs are then delayed in replacing him. I don't think he'll just retire...not with the way he was paying. But imo this needs to be he and Manus last seasons.

    Big difference between 34 year old Parker and 35 Year old Parker post Ruptured tendon. May be nowhere near as good as he looked in the PS.

    Parker has been ridiculous in the playoffs, but it would be foolish for the Spurs to rely on him, going forward IMO..

    You can't ignore that he played horribly for most of the RS..the Spurs can't build a team with the thought process of banking on Parker turning it on in the playoffs after struggling for most of the 82 game season that would be a very irresponsible way of building a team..

    100%

    I think committing 20+ mil/per on Hill, Lowry would be a massive mistake.

    I also don't like committing 35 mil/per on 32 yr old CP3 either. Spurs would be paying max money for the years he regresses.

    You're in luck, the Spurs couldn't afford a pot to piss in this offseason if Pau opts in and all indications are that he will.

    I think he'll record another rap album before even considering playing in Europe. This is nonsense.

    At the same time, everyone thinking he'll magically be able to come back from this injury and play at the same level is kidding themselves. This is a tough injury to come back from for anyone at any age, and he'd be almost 36 at the point of his return, playing a position demanding the most quickness and mobility in the game of basketball.

    If people are already thinking about FA point guards this summer, Spurs could do a lot worse than looking west to Oakland. And I'm not talking about Curry.
