Crawford wants to be a laker!
I'd seriously watch Miami right now. I got this feeling Pat might want to make a splash after getting looked over by Hayward and Boston getting the guy. Hope it's Aldridge. I just find it hard to believe we just keep him, with his house for sale, wanting out and risk losing him for nothing. Maybe DPG is right and there's something about how eerily quiet it is.
Sadly though, Aldridge is better than any of the remaining FAs, so we'd likely just be losing an expiring (assuming he opts out) for far lesser talent - unless you're thinking Miami would be sending decent players back (which I don't think makes sense for them). Time will tell though.
Damn MNT, hey aren't the only ones. Save some of these truth bombs for the regular season.
I pretty much think Miami is our only hope. Welp. I doubt Aldridge is traded mid season, but I guess there is S&T scenarios next year with a lot of the top teams not having cap. Oh well. Guess we wait for Simmons and it could be a week. He'll probably wait for Brooklyn's money to be tied up first. PATFO probably doesn't give one care how long it takes to settle this all. They have a number and they are sticking to it and Simmons camp probably feel the same. Once the money is tied up and Simmons realize he has to come down the Spurs will look like the heroes for keeping their offer when they could go down. 4/36 mill
Good guess, but what can they give up? I know nothing of Miami's situation right now.
Aldridge unfollowed the spurs, deleted a bunch of tweets from the timeline that he first joined the team, put his house on sale, was rumored to have had a negative exit interview, was definitely shopped, his camp made noise that the Spurs affected his game negatively, his brouhaha affected at least Chris Paul that we know of from considering the Spurs etc.
He's a team cancer. Spurs need to move on.
I doubt that outcome, but we'll see. I don't have any stake on this but the offer was 2 and 1 PO, which is a fine offer.
Even a small market like OKC can get stuff done, people just making excuses for PATFO. They went from biggest threat to the Warriors to first round fodder.
Even the Warriors aren't standing pat.
not you too. my gosh.
alot of disappointed Spurs fans around here. Scared of the big bad name. We've been the underdogs more often than not and you guys are pissing and moaning about the best run franchise in Pro SPorts arguably. Gah, it's so annoying. We are overachievers, hard workers and disciplined. Intangibles and chemistry don't get enough love around here not to mention we got a top 3 player in the NBA on our squad
I don't understand Why people are so high on patterson and casspi... Waaaw
Chris Bosh was just waived. He might not be a bad option if he can still play.
By staying put, with same roster. But if Spurs secure HCA in 1st round, I cannot see them losing in 1st round
For the money that's being paid to these two guys, it is upsetting that compe ors are picking them up. These teams are smart teams and they know what they are doing.
So people should be rightfully upset that the Spurs can't seem to land any cheap free agents. Spurs got a ton of rookies that can barely play in summer league. It's very upsetting.
$5.4m per year looks not bad for a guy with his size and can shoot the 3. Meanwhile, Spurs are loaded with undersized guards.
Getting impatient now!

The Jazz and free agent forward James Johnson have mutual interest, League Sources tell The Salt Lake Tribune
With the amount of FAs the Spurs have this summer, they obviously have to make some moves; like others have said it just seems way too quiet.
Restricted
Jonathon Simmons
Unrestricted
Joel Anthony
Dewayne Dedmon
Pau Gasol
Manu Ginobili
David Lee
But they are not additions that would make spurs better
Patterson shoots 40% last year with 71% FT, he's not a good defender inside or a good rebounder, he's not that good even at this price .... casspi is ok but that's not someting that would have up the Spurs.
People are crazy right there , i prefer to stand path , bringing back simmons and dedmon at good price and save some space for 2018 than having a Patterson Type of player.
Patterson probably wouldn't help the Spurs as much, but he will help the Thunder big time given their week perimeter shooting. The problem is the Spurs are not upgrading, they are staying the same.
Would you say simmons is the priority in that group?
Indubitably!
I agree... The Spurs are waaaaay to quite. The way I see it, what FA's are also quite?? Those are most likely candidates linked with Spurs. The Spurs aren't gonna get the team off of a verbal agreement.... Tomorrow when people can sign, Spurs will be highly active I pray.
I wouldn't call them character issues but last playoffs weren't the first time he threw teammates under the bus...CJ Miles, Lance, the Roy Hibbert rumors...It's not like Paul George will be named the best teammate in the league.
Also, his issues about playing at 4, his criticism of his coach in public...
Who knows but it seems he can be a problem in the locker room.
Anyway, I agree with you about Rockets and OKC improved a lot. Wolves, too. They upgraded in critical spots to compete, to make Spurs life harder...
