That some serious trolling dude.![]()
He still may not be.
Parker going down increased the odds for sure, but Spurs still have other options. It's going to be an interesting off-season with the new Parker dynamic.
I'd prefer Spurs go the value route with Mack or Collison than pay Dana Barros 4/50-60 million.

We all don't know who will be Spurs starting PG next yr.
Spurs need to get a legit BIG.....
Spurs need to sign Jj red
and draft monte Morris
Not really tbh. Legit bigs are losers. It's 1990's basketball. Warriors and Cavs don't have legit bigs, they have stretch 4's.
Anthony Davis, Demarcus Cousins, KAT, Drummond, etc all career losers.
Well atleast someone to replace LMA....
McGee.
Dump LaCarcass in Boston and try to take Bradley or Smart since they're loaded at SG aka our weakest position.
Spurs need a small versatile lineup. Patty is too damn small. A huge defensive liability. A waste of money.
Yup.
I opt to go for better value with Mack or Collison and eventually use that Patty money elsewhere. I think it's a massive mistake to spend 3-4/50 for a player who is a liability on D. Especially in todays NBA. If Spurs are paying 10+ mil/per on a player, that player needs to be able to defend at the very least.
Bradley is a great two-way player would be nice next to Leonard. Aldridge for Bradley and Crowder would be a nice haul if we lose Simmons
Boston isn't going to trade Crowder because has 3 years left on a low contract. Bradley and Smart only have 1 year left. One of them should be easily attainable for LMA. I doubt they would get rid of both though.

Unless he gets a ridiculous offer I'm pretty sure they can't afford to let him go, they won't have much money to spend in the offseason and have to use his bird rights. It's not like they can opt not to sign him for $12 mil per and throw that money at someone else, they'll likely only have the exceptions to work with, barring some major overhaul.
I expect him to stay on a Danny Green type of contract.
he isn't worth 4y/40m, but neither is DG tbh.
It really is possible they were planning on paying him anyways (see every point and thread made about it by TD 21) On top of that Pop loves him, loves his veterans. is unlikely to want to speed up Dijon's development, unless Dijon speeds up himself (I am very hopeful he can), plus with all his other favorite guards retiring or out he is likely to be attached to Mills. You add to that the fact that better guards than him in FA will be tough to get and I could see him back.
However, it's also possible they want to go after a star PG like CP3 instead. Mills future with the team has seemed clouded to me for a while now.
At this point I think so since there's basically no chance of CP3/Lowry/etc coming here, and even though we're all high on Murray you can't go into next season with him as the only returning PG.
If we're going all out for CP3, Patty might bolt.
If we're playing a sg at pg then I want it to be a ball hawking guard like Avery Bradley that can somewhat play defense on the 1-4 on GSW. The perimeter defense of Bradley, Green, and Kawhi will get us back to the WCF(if we don't play GSW) and gives us the best chance possible vs GSW.
I think SA still anticipates Parker coming back at some point next year
If they feel confident he will be back and if they feel confident about Murray, then they should let Mills walk. And go after a cheaper option to fill a gap btw the start of next season and when Parker returns.
Yes, I am completely unsure about those rumors, but they are out there and Pop has done nothing but win now moves lately.. He clearly has no interest in taking a season off, or whatever, he would just as soon retire... etc. Again just unknown about CP3 or any other star, but at the same time, I wouldn't put it past this current Spurs to be be active in FA. The past couple of seasons they have been shedding depth for "stars".
Mack probably goes for one of the smaller exceptions. As a fringe rotation level player, who doesn't excel at any particular thing, barring a massive leap from Murray, they'd be significantly worse.
Collison probably goes for the full MLE. As a 6th man level player, even if Murray makes minimal progress, they could probably more or less maintain, but I doubt the Spurs would touch a player with a domestic violence incident.
The problem with squandering Mills' Bird rights and utilizing an exception on a PG, is that's one less tool an already financially limited team, would have to re-sign Dedmon or a similar big or add a much needed third wing.
Your takes are excellent except that recent evidence strongly suggests that the chances the Spurs re-sign Deadman are slim and none - and mostly none. He is not just in Pop's doghouse; that particular doghouse is in the back of the kennel.
But using Bird rights to preserve maximum cap flexibility seems like a no-brainier unless some team makes Patty a ridiculous offer OR Patty is adamant about starting.
The CP3 rumors scare me. He would be the wrong FA signing at the wrong time. We desperately need to get Kawhi a longer-term running buddy. This may not be the year to make that happen. If not, then be patient and use the cap space many expect in 2018 for that guy. I can just see a ball-dominant, uber-alpha-mentality CP3 ignoring Kawhi to a greater extent than many accuse Tony of having done this last season. Besides, he is just too old.
Unfortunately,,as you noted, signing CP3 would fit PATFO's recent MO.
ehh....idk if i agree with that. I love me some paddy but he's just as likely to go 0-7 from 3 as he is to go 4-6 imo. he has a tendency to be streaky, not really my definition of "consistent" tbh, unless you mean hes consistently streaky![]()
No he's not dude. Does it happen? Sure, but that's not consistent means.![]()
