We cant get hill without moving at the very least Paul Gasol for naught. And Defiantly cannot resign Dedmon as well.
I'm sure Pop will be in touch with Hill as soon as free agency starts. Pop always stated that he was his favorite player when he was with the team. Hill is an excellent defender and plays well without the ball as well, not to mention he already knows the system. I'm sure they're interested in him more than any another free agent PG, although very unlikely due to cap restraints.
Will they touch tips? Or will it be full on?
Detroit wants badly to get rid of Reggie Jackson. Stan loves former Spurs... how about Parker and his expiring contract for Jackson?
That second tier of PGs looks horrendous.
Smart is a poor mans Beverly. He really can't shoot despite hitting 7 3's vs CLE last game. It's a major issue, but I like all of his other talents. But non-shooting PG is really tough especially as a starter.
If we are going to go non-shooting guards, I would like Peyton. He has shown improvements (not in shooting) but he's cheap enough for a one year stop gap to evaluate him, likely get an improvement over regular season TP (at least on defense) and only pay him if he's a great fit all the while not ruining 2018 at all.
Smart is a better player now and will be for years to come. The only thing Beverly does better is a much stronger shooter and perhaps defending against small PG's. Otherwise, Smart runs an offense better, better scorer and finishing and drawing contact, better passer, stealer, blocker, and can legit defend 1 and 2's.
He can't shoot.
Beverly is 10% better from down town. Besides, Kidd couldnt shoot. Smart has similar game to him. He shot isn't broken like Payton.
Rajon Rondo is who I'd prefer but he's not coming.
Jose Calderon.
Carter-Williams, Rodriguez and Felton, I'd be surprised if they fell into the mid range and if any player in that class exceeded the MLE. Sessions is in the same class as the aforementioned 3 (they probably go for a lower exception) and Galloway might not opt out and is more of a shooting guard anyway.
In the end, they'll probably re-sign Mills, then target Williams, Calderon, Mack and Vasquez, in that order, as a one year stop gap.
Pray this isn't the case. No Mills No.
no! dude is a cancer
Keep Murray, upgrade other positions...ESPECIALLY our soft bigs (except Dedmon)
There's not many good bigs available. The good ones, teams won't trade. Only options Spurs have to improve their frontcourt are Ibaka, Milsap, and through the draft. And I don't even like Ibaka all that much considering he lied about his age by 5 years. And paying Milsap 30 +mil per would be crazy. Spurs have to draft an athletic big this draft since the value is there for that at the end of the 1st round. Hopefully they can develop the player into a quality rotational player like the Rockets did Capela.
Spurs have to go smaller and adapt with the league. With that being said, Spurs don't have to go and get 6 bigs like they used to. Roster balance should go 4 bigs, 8 wings, 3 PGS.
Trade Danny Green and Anderson for Rubio. Let Patty go. Play out Rubio/Murray then mix in Parker when he returns. Rubio can set up Pau and LMA with his passing. Re-sign Simmons to replace Danny Green as the starting SG. If Rubio disappoints then they will have cap space when his contract expires.
Rubio contract expires one year after Parker. Starting Rubio and Simmons would be a very poor shooting backcourt. Our Bigs would shoot better than them. They would be odd. I wouldn’t mind Rubio as a playmaker with a good contract, but he will need Green in the starting lineup. It is possible T’Wolves might be interested in Simmons in a sign a trade, as they will need a starting shooting guard while Lavine recovers, then they could off load Rubio and pick someone else up like Derrick Rose with the cap space. I am unsure what Rose and Thibs relationship is though. Just a thought. Rose, Simmons, and Wiggins would be an athletic combo.
Damn Parker contract. 16 million. They need to find a way to move him.
Only hope is if he retires and they stretch his last year out for some cap space. Spurs won't trade him.
Never happen. Spurs are too loyal (to a fault, at times). Parker will never not be a Spur. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if they re-signed him in again in 2018 to be Murray's backup, tbh (at a much cheaper price, of course, and depending on how he recovers from his injury).
Is he no longer commanding the max?
