Official 2017 Offseason Thread

[objective]

If the Spurs are half as good at drafting talent as the legend says, then losing this year's first round pick is a freaking disaster. Paying Pau for a year is a one-year inconvenience. What FA could they love that much, who has a legit chance of coming here? CP3, D-Wade, Hayward? Maybe. But that's pretty much the short list. Anyone else either isn't coming here, or isn't worth giving up Pau plus the first round pick.

You and I disagreed about rebuilding this past season. We'll never know, because of Tony and Kawhi both getting injured. But now, mortgaging the future to try and to a rebuild-in-place with this many holes and this many bad contracts? It's just not smart. It's a matter of "wasting" one year of Kawhi's prime vs. wasting multiple years.

The only exception to that I can see is if one or two vets decide to take a Spurs-friendly deal to allow them to fill out the roster. There's no way of planning for something like that to happen.

I would be satisfied if they burned a pick if they got Holiday, Paul or Hill.

Not happy. I wasn't happy when news broke that Gasol would have a player option for a second year. It was a bad move at the time.

But what's done is done. Either get better now or enjoy what could be the next Hill or the next LJC several years in the future, after Kawhi has started fading.

I've seen lot of hypothetical trades sending lma to Boston because they need a big man...but Boston could fix the same need with Pau. Well, Pau is probably a beter fit for them than Alridge.
I think in their eyes Pau's value is, and in any case it locically should be, the biggest than for all other teams...
Considering the amount of players they have, one of Crowder or Bradley or Smart could be available...This looks more doable considering that:
1) both Bradley and Smart have a one year contract too;
2) they could get rid also of the Zeller contract.

If Bosh is bought out and completely healthy, I would seriously consider the guy on a cheaper deal.

Zeller's contract is a team option so they can use it in a trade or simply waive him for cap space to sign a FA.

No team is touching him. Too much bad karma.

Danny Green is still a goat at transitional defense.

Does anyone know if Gasol opts in are the Spurs able to trade him during the offseason as well? I would think there would be some rule against it in the CBA.

Yep, Spurs can trade, stretch waive him, whatever.

Yes even as rotation players their first season is uphill.

I'll breathe the air. Should be considerably cheaper than Paul. Injuries wise I don't know but I don't think there would be another team better than the Spurs at managing his minutes. Also if it means Pau is gone, I'd do it. 15 mill per is what I'd peg him at and if people think Patty will get 10-12 would rather have Rose. He was having a semi productive season until he tore his meniscus was it? But he could be a value pick up at the right price and as a stop gap for Murray. Give him the same deal you gave Pau.

Said he'll prioritize winning over money. If he'd take the mid level would you take him?

Ehhhh, he still can't shoot and is very fragile... I think the risks outweigh the possible benefits with him especially at that price. I'd rather see what's available in the trade market. If Boston drafts a PG, they'll have a logjam. It would be smart to see if we can get any of their guys. Personally though, Ish Smith is my favorite trade possibility.

Derrick Rose will join us call us a super team then we will miss the playoffs

[Joseph Kony]

please no

[HarlemHeat37]

Rose could be a good 6th man, tbh..cancerous starter, though, he no longer has a positive effect on teammates, he just looks to score for himself(not efficiently, either)..

I don't believe the Spurs actually have interest..typical of a FA to boost his name by mentioning Spurs' interest. .

Dis Rose's shooting and then say your interested in Ish Smith?

[Hoops Czar]

Agreed.

Agree to what? If you read the article, it says rival executives feel the Spurs will make a run at Rose, not the Spurs and NOT the Rose camp. The article itself has very little credibility but, Rose clearly didn't start this rumor.
