Lol. Overplayed his hand and only got 14 million in guaranteed money.

Man, I really wanted Willie Reed if he was willing to play for minimum type of money. What in the F are the front office doing. The team seems so unbalanced. There's no way you'll land Lebron with that kind of . The Spurs' off-season has been just as bad as Cleveland's and if he's upset with them, I doubt he'd be interested in the Spurs.
Can the Lakers have enough room to sign both Paul George and Lebron next off-season? If so, they would be the front runners IMO.
Edit : Willie Reed. Don't know why I keep calling him Willie Green.
Why in the would Simmons hire a rookie agent? This was potentially the biggest payday of his life and he signs a rookie agent that completely ed this free agency up for him. What the F was he thinking? It's all his own fault. It's absolutely inexcusable how his free agency was handled.

We droppin errbody next season and keeping enough money to bring in Lebron and Westbrook. The holes will be filled with vets chasing a ring
I didn't watch it but here you go:
Can't believe jamychael green didn't at least generate a lot interest and that he's still not signed. He'll prolly get signed for 1year 1.5 million deal soon.
man if the Spurs played it cool and smart they could've got 3-4 rotation guys (1 or 2 could've been solid starters) for 10-12 million
The RFA have been hurt badly by this market.. there is not enough cap room to go around to offer to RFA. It was the same with Simmons, that is why he asked the Spurs to withdraw their QO. Guys like Mirotic are still in the same boat with Chicago. Noel also is getting hardball by the Mavs too.
Lakers would be a second-round exit even with Lebron and PG tbh; their young talent is vastly overrated because they're the Lakers.
My thoughts exactly. I don't even think Willie Green's mom wants him for the min.
Wasn't Spurs qualifying offer higher than what he got with the Magic? Did Simmons lose like $2m/year because he wanted to play the market?
Spurs offseason moves have been very underwhelming this year.
Perhaps they are reading the situation correctly that GSW may in fact not beatable with guys like Aldridge taking so much cap space.
So they really didn't go out there in the market and sacrifice long term prospects.
Everyone is on cheap contracts (mostly rookie scale) and the expensive ones are due for expiration at next season.
I guess maximum bang to grab an aging Lebron?
Spurs are in 'rebuilding' mode in disguise. Get a lot of rookies, pair them with enough veterans to learn the game. What's missing of course are rookies that can learn from a big like Pau.

This whole year is going to be endless Lebron speculation. Damnit. It's getting to Brett Favre levels. Basically Jalen says no super star wants to go to the Spurs because the culture in SA seems like work where you sacrifice your personality and stats to get yelled at in a January game by Pop for missing a defensive assignment.
Says Lebron and others would rather go to Houston and play for Pringles where they don't practice, defense isn't mentioned, and they get to put up video game numbers.
Well, it makes sense. I doubt Lebron thinks he needs pop to win another le.
Some may sign the QO and become unrestricted next summer. Will make the class a lot more enticing. And not tons of cap space leaguewide.
Willie Reed would have been a pretty darn good pickup for the minimum. I wonder if the Spurs were even interested. Unless he wasn't interested in the Spurs?
I would have been pretty happy if we replaced Dedmon with Wille Reed for the minimum. Oh well, maybe he didn't want to play here if he had a choice of LA and SA for minimum. Then again, the Spurs may have had no interest either.
Simmons would have been an RFA again had he signed the QO. But in general, you're right. The cap space has pretty much dried up. That's what happens with dudes like Kent Bazemore get $70M/4
Forbes, Anderson and Bertans all will be even worse off next off season, fewer teams with cap space to seek out a offer sheet even if they each have a good season.
Don't think it is insane that LeBron would at least consider the Spurs. Another trip to the WCF and Kawhi winning the MVP would certainly help our pitch
Anderson already in Los Angeles at UCLA facility training... looks slim:
Would love to see this guy break out next year. He's been improving in increments and now is the time to get into that solid rotation and make things happen.
Hopefully...
I think he needs to have a green light, like he did in the playoffs. He was a lot more aggressive to end the season and in the playoffs than he was to start the season... so I think a lot has to do with role. Needs to step up next season. No excuses. Bertans too by the way... though he's bombing away without hesitation, Spurs also need him to be solid. Looking forward to watch them and the young guards.
I was whining a lot about the Spurs standing pat before, but I am now kind of excited to see what these guys can do. Hopefully we find some keepers in this season's crop of youngsters (I use that word with some freedom for guys 24 and younger...)
