Official 2017 Offseason Thread

If he leaves, he will go to a big market and continue playing dress up.

I agree.

[tbdog]

Get Hayward and Gibson. Resign Simmons or keep Green. Trade Lma.

[TimDunkem]

Love this.

I lol'd.

[NASpurs]

Don't forget bringing in an aging, increasingly injury prone Hill on a huge contract.

And overrated as . Do not want.

[Mal]

You should start a thread about it (Westbrook/Lebron to Spurs) so when next off-season comes, we're ready.

Better start now, it will have 50 pages of laughs, good points, wishfull thinkings before it all falls apart.

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs should be transitioning, anyways..they should be taking fliers on young players and getting assets in return for win-now players like Aldridge and DG..nobody is near the Warriors, right now, take the next year or 2 to retool, rather than blowing your future on ancient players like Chris Paul and Millsap(they'll still win 50+, regardless, by just having Kawhi and Pop)

[Ice009]

Now I am kind of thinking they already knew CP3 was leaning away from the Spurs and moved on to HIll...
Then Jazz kind of already knew about Hill bolting and moved on to trade for a PG in the draft and aim to sign Teodosic....
wow this moratorium or what not is a sham.

Why is there a moratorium? Why can't teams just sign players and make trades right away? I thought I read a few years ago it was so that they could use the time to calculate the salary cap or something?

[TimDunkem]

Get Hayward and Gibson. Resign Simmons or keep Green. Trade Lma.

They couldn't afford Hayward/Gibson/Simmons together without making moves the FA clearly is having trouble making. Hayward won't come here either.

Too bad no one wants pussy LMA.

[Ice009]

This front office has as much teeth as LMA being guarded by midgets on the post. I'm just waiting to be disappointed come July 6th. Sure, let's sign old ass Gasol to an even longer contract, keep Parker until he's 40 and bring back a disgruntled Aldridge for another year.

Well another poster mentioned he heard the front office wasn't too happy about Tony basically asking for another contract. Hopefully, at least, that guys sources are correct about the FO not being pleased with Parker asking for another contract. That shouldn't even really be a concern for them, though. They should already be looking to trade him.

Anyone have Hill's injury history from after he was traded?

They can go into tax with Simmons. Plus Hayward is such a Spur type player. He doesn't look like a Boston player. If we had to dump Lma and Green, that's 30mil, plus Gasol comes back for less. I think you can get both.

[TimDunkem]

That's a lot of "if" scenarios.

[Joseph Kony]

with the cap being lower than projected and PGs being a dime a dozen in todays NBA, i'm not so sure teams will be lining up to give Hill the max, spurs may be able to get him on a "cheap" deal, or at least a little less than a max for him

BTW, there's two pages on that bad boy.

rather than blowing your future on ancient players like Chris Paul and Millsap(they'll still win 50+, regardless, by just having Kawhi and Pop)

32 but last season:
-had the 2nd best assist to turnover ratio
-tied for 1st in steals
-also...

concern over his age is overblown. spurs missed out badly.

With LMA, I think you trade him if you can get a deal like M4T was saying. I think you ask Green how badly he wants to remain a Spur for the rest of his career. Think he's earned Haslem-level consideration if he's willing to take the right salaries.

Outside of elite prospects, I don't agree. Murray's going to play regardless, and no one else under 24 deserves a rotation spot. Let them figure it out, but see who you can add to the core. They shouldn't go all out trying to compete, but they owe it to Kawhi not to just surround him like late-firsts and former busts.

Especially since the Spurs are waiting on TP to come back anyway. Let's not forget Manu will return, and Gasol will still get big minutes. It's not like we weren't going to roll with old guys regardless.

Westbrook/Kawhi to LAC confirmed tbh.

Depends on what Gibson makes. If they move LMA and Green, they should be able to afford all three. Could probably say under the tax too if they take the Arenas distribution on a Simmons contract.

[DPG21920]

CP to HOU is a great move esp if it gets Harden off the ball. Money longer term aside HOU is stacked.

[rastaspur]

If you can get hill for around 20 to 23 million a year I'm okay with it. If higher, look elsewhere

i think hayward winds up in boston (setting off the PG to Boston trade in the process)

Ew. He's injury prone now too you know.

I think Gibson will make at least 12 mill a year. He's coveted.
