You really thinking of trading LMA for Giannis ?????? Even AI in 2k would laugh at you.
Yes.
I was just mentioning that Bonners role was clearly going to be taken.
In no way is anyone going to be Manu but minutes are out there to be had if he retires or not. Spurs hold Hanga's rights but he's 28 and not looking forward to joining a stacked team with no possible avenue to playing time. All a player asks is a chance but if Spurs were to reup Simmons and Manu comes back there really is no playing time to be had

Hanga coming regardless.
Any writer who thinks the Spurs should give Mills near $20 million a year is a piece of garbage.
this
Murray/PG backup/Parker???
Danny/Hanga/Ginobili??
Kawhi/Simmons
Bertans/Kyle
Lamarcus/Dedmon
In case anyone doesn't know, Aldridge has a 15% trade kicker.
Could make trading him even more difficult for those inclined towards that course.
Althought it's a pipe dream, it obviously can't be straight. C'mon dude, you're smarter than that. You need to match salaries too and I believe Giannis is at 25MM.
One thing I would actually be okay with is if the Sixers spent some of their exorbitant cap space to reunite the Manu-Mills-Diaw trio (and have Splitter in street clothes while they're at it). Get some vets on that team.
That is unless they all want to sign cheap in San Antonio.
How is Giannis getting paid more than Aldridge and Kawhi? Did he sign an extension last off-season or something?
A couple of draft targets that look intriguing to me and going in the Spurs draft range: Terrance Ferguson and Hamidou Diallo. Would love to see young talent at the 2 spot between Kawhi and DJ. It's unlikely they contribute much next year but it'd be nice to get them in the pipeline.

Is Adam Hanga a Spur in the making?
Trade LMA for a new Taco stand at the AT&T center. Hopefully that would be legal lol
The Bucks signed him to a 4 year 100 million dollar extension.
The salary cap this season is projected to be in the neighborhood of $101M - $102M, depending on who you talk to.
If everyone opts into their player options and the Spurs keep their first round draft pick, they have right at $98M in salaries committed. With no Patty Mills, no Jonathan Simmons, and an injured Tony Parker.
The Spurs are going to be over the cap, and they are still going to have to find some solid players on cheap contracts.
DeJounte Murray will cost the team $1.3M. He's going to get a lot of minutes at the point next season. He's already better than Patty Mills was in either his first or second seasons. By next year, I think he'll be better than Patty was in his third season, when he came to SA. Mills/Parker/Murray? I don't think so.
Kyle Anderson's $2.15M contract makes him both affordable and a bargain. He's on the team and getting minutes.
The Spurs have one legit trade asset, and nobody who has ever watched basketball failed to notice that he was a freaking eunuch in the playoffs. Nobody is going to send the Spurs a young star who could take over in the playoffs when Kawhi goes down, in exchange for Aldridge. They will keep that guy, and let him lead THEIR team in the playoffs. So when you propose trades for Aldridge, just remember that nobody the Spurs get would be able to do what you wanted LMA to do this year.
The Spurs will need to get some help from players on cheap contracts. 10-year vets on a 1-year min contract actually get part of their salary picked up by the league. Manu could be one of those guys.
There are a lot of young big men that are draft eligible this year. (C's and PF/C's) At least a couple of them are going to be draft steals. Remember - Marcin Gortat went at #57. Paul Milsap #47. Marc Gasol #48. Hassan Whiteside #33. But guys like that aren't dominant big men in their first couple of years. If the Spurs snag one, he will bring incremental help, not an instant All-Star.
I think it's highly likely Spurs return basically the same team next season with a few small tweaks. They'll likely be cheap and try to preserve the 2018 space by bringing over some stashed players imo...
Murray/(FA-mid level)/Parker
Green/Hanga/Forbes
Leonard/Anderson
Aldridge/Bertans
Gasol/Multinov
Simmons/Mills/Dedmon likely gone (though i would like to keep Dedmon, i'm sure he will get offered a good deal and probably will bolt after the ty treatment from Pop), highly doubt spurs will trade LMA and even more doubt Pau will opt out of his deal. Knowing Parker's situation spurs have to target a PG in free agency or via trade, i dont think this is even debatable. Spurs will likely target another FA that can play SF/PF or a C/PF. imo
Any way we can get in on Millsap?
Gasol would have to opt out which is not likely. Even then I don't think the Spurs would have salary cap room to afford Milsap.
Unlikely. He opted out of a 22 mil contract and some team will likely throw a max contract at him (around 30+ iirc) so unless spurs make a good amount of moves and he takes a paycut, seems pretty unlikely. Would love to have him over LMA's soft ass
When is the deadline for players to Opt out? (If they so choose to)
June 29th is the last day.
the only decent option as point guard, except for the big names, maybe afordable with the mle, is Livingston...the only way to steal him is proposing him what he doesn't have in gs (starting point guard on a contender team).
What if Gasol dieded?
Weird damn question but i think that if a player on the roster passed away the Spurs could use the disabled player exception.
I am sure there must be an insurance for that.
Espn insider has stuff on Spurs offseason rebuild. But it may be just a bunch of garbage we already know.
