Official 2017 Offseason Thread

Good Christ. Did they think he's Tim Hardaway, Sr.?

Lol fire phil, agree to potential trade for melo, then this. Worse than sacramento

Ilyasova has always been on my list this summer, and likely at a gettable price for SA. If we could re-sign Simmons, add Gay and Ilyasova, that'd be a nice off-season all things considered (though we still need one more big down low, or to re-sign Dedmon).

I am sure we are set at PF with Gay, Anderson, and Bertans. Yes, 3 SF 's are now PF's. That is the league these days.

Just think of all of those games with Bill Land calling him "Ilyasofa".

[Mugen]

WTF - Hardaway Jr got 71mil?

[SAGirl]

Not that excited about Gay bc of that Achilles injury... but better than nothing. He might recover enough.

Considering how long they waited to reach an agreement with any FA and that I already wasn't expecting any significant player additions, I am glad. It might signal Pop indeed moving on to play a different style....

[Ron Swanson]

That should get this thread another 50 pages.

[Dverde]

Yeah, knicks doing knicks things. I can't see the Hawks matching with Bazemore still on their books.

[Dverde]

Spurs need to lock up David Lee, Dedmon, Tiago, or Thomas Robinson. Then wait out Simmons. Pay Pau the leftovers.

[loveforthegame]

Cripes. I like THJ but at that price? Only the Knicks.

[Nathan89]

It's almost like the Knicks try to make terrible decisions. It's unbelievable the the things they do.

[ducks]

Is Phil still in New York ?

[8FOR!3]

You know how good the Spurs are gonna be in 2K bc of Rudy Gay lol.

[DPG21920]

And he may. He doesn't seem to value a ring over money. But not the money is drying up, and he'd have a role on the team, possibly as a starter, as he'd be a great fit with LMA if Gay is on the bench.

I think that is the issue for me. I can't imagine Gay turning down SAC money for less and being sold on coming to SA to come off bench in what is probably his last chance at a possibly big FA deal in 18.

Ersan would be off the bench and would he accept LLE money for that role?

[apalisoc_9]

Ilyasova is like 3 years older than his listed age and has a fake iden y FWIW. Good role player though.

He's not African. What you talking about bro

[Dverde]

Did the Knicks hire the fired Magics GM?

[peacemaker885]

Simmons is under the Gilbert Arenas rule where teams can only offer him 8+M. Spurs offer of 9M would be more than what other teams can offer, if im not mistaken.

[SAGirl]

You have to wonder with Pau coming off the bench, Coaching Stuff must be really sold at playing small at the 4. Gay, Blossom, Bertans, Anderson

They're not playing with Two bigs next year. That's for sure.

I am glad that experiment is over. Pops end of season comments were revealing.

I think this was Gay's Iggy pivot. I don't know if I expect him off the bench, but I think he understands it may be what happens. Ersan makes more sense starting and Gay as sixth man.

Spurs can only offer the MLE as well. It's just a full MLE deal is worth $9 Million APY

Yeah, but in year 3 they can add a nasty balloon payment type thing, no? So like 9+9+22 for a 40 deal.

Another team can offer that; they Spurs cannot. They'd only be able to match such an offer.
