Bait set. Now wait.
Hopefully Kawhi's ankle isn't anything serious, tbh, and Manu probably has 2-3 more seasons in him, but we can't waste his dawn like we did with Tim.
LMA just can't come into camp fat again. Just cannot happen. I don't know if the Spurs want to hire D'Angelo Russell to follow him around over the summer and snitch on his habits or just go ahead and move him.
Patty should get his bucks, since he's a good buddy of Manu, and Tony is a huge question mark right now.
Simms should stick around, same for Bertans.
The question is what to do with Dedmon, Pau, and to a lesser extent Fathead and Forbes?
Bait set. Now wait.
No bait - this post has merit. I do believe Manu will come back for at least 1 and maybe 2 - he has a lot of teach and can still play decent 15-20 mins if required and it has kept himself healthy when it mattered which it wasn't always that way.Bait set. Now wait.
Not sure about LMA but with the contract he has and the way he's playing the Spurs will most likely stick with him.
Tony is a big unknown as it will depend on the evolution of his injury but I see him staying with the Spurs for a few more years. If Mills doesn't get his due he will leave the Spurs. Is there a chance to bring Chris Paul to the Spurs? yes, there is now specially since it seems Parker could be out for many many months even thru the first part of next season. I can see Paul wanting to win before granpatime takes him over.
I think Gason is washed right now - he just looks distracted out there and the Spurs might want to do something there.
Danny Green will always be Danny Green - I saw a post about a litmus test - there isn't such a thing for him. One day he's a hero and the next he's complete garbage.
So all in all, next year knowing LMA is playing like the Spurs can only hope to build around Kwahi and Manu... it sounds crazy but that's what they have now with the addition of Parker out.
Manu? Please.
The guys need to be evaluated regardless with not an eye set on Manu. Spectacular game 5 notwithstanding, he still needs to retire.
I think he deserves a three year deal after that block!! I'm sure everyone agrees!
At least you're not changing your views like the wind.Manu? Please.

Manu will be a great Pop replacement.
Definitely intrigued to see what he and the Klaw do moving forward.
Kwa
Manu for minimum or just above. (Tim Duncan did it, STFU Manu).
Patty try for a San Antonio discount. See above.
Dedman yes. A real coach will properly utilize his talents AND passion.
Pau this playoffs is doing what he should. Like the rebounding.
LMA trade.
Pop trade.
Porker no, just no. Retire already or package him with the other two.
Fathead trade for whatever you can get.
Forbes
I still think he needs to retire.. but I am happy for him and team that he would retire with a bang and not with a whimp the way he started the Grizz series.
If this wasn't a strict troll thread I would tell you I think he has some game, but he clearly is not the same and can't be relied on. The risk with him is high bc players at 40 and above drop off the map fast and furiously.. and you never know when he's going to hit that curve and he's looking like he's about to turn the curve any time now.
The other thing is that beyond him it's on Pop. Until he retires Pop is unlikely to move on and get some real help. He serves as a security blanket for Pop in many ways.
....
As for the purpose of the thread, they still need to evaluate everyone (Manu included but I bet Pop still wants him back, it's up to Manu what he wants to do, same as every year lately)... he unlikely can't be paid as much bc Spurs have to pay others (Mills, Simmons and/or get some other help)
....
If the thread was genuine... I would say Kawhi doesn't have a true costar in Lamarcus who is playing like a roleplayer and Pau seems overpaid bc of his minutes reductions, role reduction and becoming a situational player. I would not offer him more years at less money tbh.. If he stays he stays one more season, if not he needs to go.
For the rest, it depends on others. Those guys are still young, in cheap contracts and they could either stay or go depending on what moves Spurs want to do in FA. So I love to speculate about it but it's really unknown.
LMA could come into camp looking anorexic but it won't make him a better basketball player.
Gashole will be opting in so there's nothing the Spurs can do.
Spurs won't be able to afford handing out two undeserving $14M/y contracts to both Manu and Patty for past accomplishments. Pick one.
Danny Green has a player option after next season and he might want one last big contract before he retires. I wouldn't be surprised if he opts out for more money. I suspect "he'll be back".
Simmons will probably be expecting max money after his game 5 performance. Spurs might lose him if they don't pony up.
Don't know if Manu has a 3rd yr in him. But he's definitely earned a 48.5 esque deal.
The team needs those guys to take up minutes in the first 90 games of the season. Then Manu can do his thang.
let me just add that while I think Manu has 1 or 2 years left in no way he should get big money contract like the numbers being tossed in this thread. let's be realistic - so there will be money for Mills, etc
I say resign Manu for vet min as starting PG with Murray leading the second unit and tosb porker retiring, we'll have enough money to sign CP3, and Melo and Rose for the vet minimum
Yes, rebuilding around Manu is ridiculous but to stick up for him, yes hes been stinking but his two big games so far in the PO came when we've needed it the most. As for his retirement, I hope we can find someone who can replace him. I'm not seeing it but then again
I'm spoiled. I'd love for someone like Bertans to reach the potential we've seen in him on the good days. I believe in KA but his passitivity worries me and maybe his talent even. Simmons has been great but not quite on board with him talent wise, hey prove me wrong. Manus a hard one to replace
I agree about Lamarcus who can't seem to have two good games in a row.
Manu is going to be a coach. He's too compe ive to walk away but too smart to stay as a player. He'll be a great coach.
TBH is overused on this forum, tbh
Manu is one injury away from being finished at his current age. Highly doubt he will be playing at the age of 41. It's possible he could play next year but not beyond that.
TBH you're on to something....tbh.
There will be no replacing Manu. He's a generational player and I think as much as I complain sometimes about Pau or Lamarcus they can never be Timmy. He's a top player of all time at his position for a reason. Just no one will measure up with Tim. It's kind of unfair to compare anyone to him. And Manu is up there too. Simmons' desire to get to the basket makes him the most comparable but they're very far apart in many other areas.
Anyways obviously a joke by Nono. There's only the big one in the Spurs right now with some guys contributing more than others relative to role. We can only know what the younger guys can accomplish if they are given sufficient run. Next season should be interesting for all of them.
AND for several new guys that we don't even know yet. We will need a couple of new faces to become contributors.There will be no replacing Manu.

1 good game out of every 10. Deserves max contract.
