Great news
Not a terrible offseason if Rose comes for full MLE. Preserves flexibility for 2018.
Dedmon is a goner;
Mills/Simmons gonna paid elsewhere;
All/most of LLE goes to Hanga;
Hopefully Lee opts in after injury;
Sign multinov to rookie deal;
Draft Dedmon replacement;
Looks for internal improvement from Murray, Berty, and Forbes.
I'd keep Simmons
Seen a lot of mention that the Spurs need a rim protector and shot blocker above all else this off season. I know a lot of people are still upset at LMA for his poor postseason run but the dude was a Top 5 defensive big this past season and defended them rim better than everyone not named Gobert/Green. Even Gasol is pretty decent at protecting the rim. Spurs need to improve their guard situation first and foremost, add another defensive-minded wing (or resign Simmons if his asking price isn't ridiculous), then go for a big. Obviously if the best player at 29 is a defensive-minded big like Bell you take him, but otherwise you fix the most vulnerable position first.
Also, wouldn't be too surprised if LJC ends up making the roster next season. He fits a lot of the check boxes of what the Spurs need from the big position and showed improvement over the course of the D-League season iirc. Keeping him in France was the worst move for him and the Spurs other than drafting him in the first place.
I went back and re-read the initial posts in this thread, most of us were really disappointed in Aldridge. We can't forget Spurs almost don't even make it out of the fricking first round if Tony doesn't step up big time. Pop was playing Lee a lot more than Pau etc.
The team has huge holes with Pau/LMA softness. They need a legit center/rebounder/shotblocker.
Only way to answer that problem is through the draft.
Trading for Evan turner or crabbe, Portland is expecting to try unload one of them, should spurs be interesting??
They are so over paid that I wouldn't. I am still getting my head around the new salaries.
Keep everybody (just match Mills/Simmons öfters) but Lee/Dedmon (not that I don't like them, but it will be too extensive) and bring in Hanga and some cheap backup PG to fill in until TP is back. Thats all.
I don't want Mills back. He's a waste of money. If it was a bargain type of contract, I'd consider it, but not for any of these numbers that I've been hearing since the Spurs were eliminated. Tying up that much money in a short combo guard that doesn't play good defense would screw the Spurs up royally at the latter end of that contract IMO. Simmons, I do want back, but not if some team offers him an insane amount. Hopefully, he gives the Spurs a slight discount and sticks around to keep up on his current rate of improvement.
I also don't think I want Chris Paul at all. He's too old, and unless he wants to take a pay-cut, then I have no interest paying him that type of money a couple of years from now. If he wants to join, he'll have to take a discount, otherwise, take a hike.

Yes Forbes gonna lock up James harden
Fathead starting.
Our first concern will be for a guard position even if Manu stays and plays a few minutes a game. All season long the 1 and the 2 were a concern and it didn't get better when TP went out. Let's hope the adjustments we make in his absence are a blessing in disguise. LMA had a pretty good year and did well until Kawhi was taken out. Then the double teams came and he had a much harder time with not enough shooters. We might have survived TP being out, but without Kawhi we couldn't keep a 23 point lead.
If Por attaches the 15th and 26th for Pau, ill gladly take on Crabbe.
Forbes is a player, Murray is a player and when you have YOUNG players that show promise it would behoove us to be patient. Murray must start his time as the point guard playing next to our superstar player Leonard. Forbes on the other hand can be brought along a little slower but must make a big jump this year in confidence.
I don't buy the "Chris Paul is too old to be worth it" argument. Paul isn't a top-10 GOAT candidate like Duncan, but 36-year-old Duncan was an all-league player. Paul should be first or second team All-NBA for at least the next two seasons and could very well be All-Star worthy (playing at that level, not necessarily making the team) for the next four.
dedmon declined his player option
He'll probably sign with Detroit
It's not so much Mills vs Forbes or anyone else, but the fact Forbes only costs 1 mill next season and Mills may cost between 12-17 mill per season for several seasons...Yes Forbes gonna lock up James harden
Thanks for letting us know. He's likely gone.
