Tony Parker out for this season, AND maybe next season.

I'm 99% sure SA is going to pay Mills 12-14M per year.

Buford should resign on the spot if that happened. Why give out money like that to role players?

How come Mills is getting Danny minutes at end of games? At least he can dribble the ball up court and pass the ball 🏀 to his own teammates.

You have to adjust for what that money is today in terms of percentage of the cap. He's also a player that SA can use bird rights to sign which is big and he's also an asset that people value. With TP going down, Manu possibly being old and Simmons a FA as well, SA has to field a team and they need guards.

This year off to recover might be better in the long run. His entire being can rest.

I don't think Tony has really ever had an offseason in 15 years.

Also, they can start a total overhaul of his body. Tailor it for his new role.

And he all this time to transition his mind and spirit and come to peace with the present.

Tony as the rugged playmaker veteran mentor. Every year Murray has under his tutelage will help warp speed the growth.

Tony has earned the right to retire on his own terns.

The options are scarce for playmakers, tbh..none of the impending FAs are really worth pursuing(not to mention Spurs will have limited flexibility if Gasol opts in and Aldridge doesn't get moved)..

Even looking at the list of wings, the playmaking options(Manu replacement) are limited, too..Tyreke Evans is the best the Spurs could do, but he'll be too expensive..

It's very likely that Patty returns and Murray is the other PG/SG..

I expect Murray to start next season and roughly split the minutes with Mills. I also expect Lee and Gasol to be back, along with Simmons (if the price is right). Draft wise, I expect the spurs to go big (the 20-35 range is littered with PF/C's) Paseknicks, Adebayo, or Giles are possible candidates. Hopefully Frank Mason will be still available at pick number 59, he reminds me of Mills but probably a more nature PG.

PG-Murray, Mills, Parker, Mason,
SG-Green, Simmons, Forbes
SF-Leonard, Anderson
PF-Aldridge, Bertans,
C-Lee, Gasol, Milutivnov, 1st rounder

Spurs could use the MLE to help improve on the wing.

I was thinking 3 years $ 40 million. That's not a bad contract, only 13% of the cap.

Much depends on how strong Mills' determination to start is.

Gross to start Lee tbh.

[cd021]

I take it back though, if Spurs trade LA.. I'd rather get back space, role playing prospect and a pick.

Wouldn't use LA on PG when we have Murray making pennies and able to be good enough to take over w/ huge ceiling to grow into.

Say no to Bledsoe if Spurs have to use their biggest asset ( yet not that desirable). Use LA for assets that inject cheap youth in the pipeline asap.

Spurs Get:-
32nd pick,
54th pick,
(top 12 lottery protected) 1st round pick.

Phoenix Get:
LaMarcus Aldridge

Phoenix hasn't made the playoffs in 7 seasons and this trade would at least put them in the chase with the core of Bledsoe, Booker, and LMA. They would also get to keep Bender, Chriss, and their lottery pick this year (which would be their 4th pick in the top 8 in 3 year.

Spurs add a high second rounder (essentially a 2nd first round pick), another second rounder, and a 2018 top 12 protected pick in addition to about $20 million in cap space. Phoenix made a push to get him when he was a FA and may still be interested in him.

I posted a similar trade scenario awhile back, it wasn't particularly well received.

[cd021]

Gross to start Lee tbh.

Dedmon is probably gone, Lee as a 24mpg starter isn't horrible

Green, Leonard, Aldridge, and Lee four man lineup this past season

O Rtg- 111.4
D Rtg- 103.6
Net Rtg- +7.8

depends on whom the PG will be, but that four man lineup was very successful in the regular season.

I like that move, but I would be shocked if we trade Aldridge.

Parker's injury makes it more unlikely but if the Spurs don't make it to the WCF or get steamrolled and LMA plays poorly or mediocre- if we get there- then maybe.

Disagree. The Parker injury makes it more likely. With no Parker and no major roster-surgery, barring surprise extreme development by Dejounte, we write off next season as well. That's part of Kawhi's prime; they don't want to waste that. With Aldridge underperforming $21.5 Million man status, trading him for space+picks/projects and trying to a better fitting running mate for Kawhi makes much more sense (Griffin? CP3? The Clippers have to be considering blowing it up...).

[cd021]

You can`t find gem, that will start at PG and produce at 29th in the draft.

Mostly bigs and wings in the 25-40 range. Spurs should go big or try and trade down to Orlando who has the 33rd and 35th picks (like others have mentioned) and take two prospects.

[DAF86]

Heck, Spurs didn't even need to sign anybody, just give Patty's role to Forbes.
