Official 2017 Offseason Thread

[cd021]

Kevin Pelton from ESPN, on Nate Duncan's podcast suggested that Jonathan Simmons may resign with a 2+1 at $8 million a season so he could become a free agent again at 29.

It was a mock off season but I've heard that figure before.

Would allow for the Spurs to probably keep him.

That is fair for and from him. He couldn't be offered more than full MLE for 2 years first years of deal. Poison pill for Spurs would be up to 24 mil (max for players 0-6yrs)

Can't wait until we sign PJ Tucker.

If we sign Tucker, I'll join you on the pessimistic crew. For me he's one of the worst player in the nba, even his defense is a little bit overrated.

[Seventyniner]

With the extra roster spots, how about signing Bogut and Splitter and putting them both in cryonic storage until the second round? I would hope we could get 10-14 games between them.

I assume if Spurs fails to trade LMA, and fails get two top free agents - point guard and big, just let it go. Let Kawhi stat padd, get his MVP, check if Anderson, Murray and Parker could play big minutes, and then with almost 50 mil in cap space, when LMA bolts, and Green choose to opt out and sign longer deal, try to get FA then - guys like Avery Bradley, Covington will be available, but UFA will be so strong. LeBron, Wall, Paul George, Favors, Westbrook, Carmelo, Boogie.

I guess this could be good. This years teams with cap space will spend it on lower level all-start - Griffin, Lowry, Holliday, Hill, Millsap, Hayward. While most teams will spend this year, there is a big chance, that Spurs will be the only top team with cap space, to form yet another super team. I assume that Boston, Minnesota, Cavs, Warriors, Rockets will not have cap space. That leaves Spurs and probably Lakers with cap space, to form next big team.

Both LA teams will have significant cap space next summer.

And I doubt most FA would choose the Spurs over either LA team and the LA lifestyle.

[CGD]

Here we go! Let the nuttiness start (or continue, really)

[Chillen]

rajon. don't even think about it PATFO.

If he would sign with Spurs cheap it's worth a try. Remember the Bulls were up 2-0 on Celtics in 1st round and Rondo doesn't play another game they lose 4 straight. Dude was balling vs Celtics before he got injured, his play was the reason the Bulls were up 2-0 to begin with.

Locker room cancer

[Fireball]

Rondo is a good teammate, especially for younger players, but he tends to clash with any authority because he challenges all of their decisions ... I do not think this works with Pop

AND HE CANNOT SHOOT

[look_at_g_shred]

Does anyone recall any recent George hill success vs warriors?

[$pursDynasty]

How can we get Rubio ? Cap space or trading LMA or Green ?

couldn't we do a sign and trade with them w/ the Microwave? they need a point with experience and shooting, we need a point that can actually do point guard things. Couldn't we do what the Clips/Rox did in the CP3 move?

[Mal]

But Clippers will still be Clippers. Lakers will have Magic Johnson, Ball, Ingram etc. Clippers will have DeAndre Jordan, they won't form superteam starting with that.

As I recall Utah was way better team with him on the floor, when not.

They were sweapt. But Hill was out 3 out of 4 games. Don't know if that good or bad

[noles1983]

Just listened to the Open Floor SI podcast and the concensus is that the Spurs likely won't do much. Between being boxed in by TP and Gasol contracts while being hamstrung by Aldridge who no one wants, there's just not much they can do.

If they end up doing nothing it is not because they had no options. They are not being boxed in by TP contract. They refuse to deal him, loyalty over team success. them.

[NASpurs]

"The Sixers have told agents they will seek one-year deals this summer to preserve future space" per @ZachLowe_NBA.

I know a point guard with a one year deal.

[SAGirl]

well to be fair I don't think they'd be great addtions but I do want the beautiful game back

If only Tiago were healthy.. but I fear that ain't going to happen. instead team would be playing Joel Anthony bc Tiago is going to be out all season.. tease us with one or two games then go back to the injured-DNP list.

[SAGirl]

Is Lee definitely gone?

He opted out... so status unknown.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Word is RC will be tackling FA from Los Angeles. Paul George?

[Hoops Czar]

Word is RC will be tackling FA from Los Angeles. Paul George?

Probably taking a vacation.

[BatManu20]

Probably just wants to get out of the disgusting 100° swamp that is San Antonio in June, tbh.

[BatManu20]

Jrue staying in Nola as expected.

Fly him over the Pacific and kick him out the plane.
