    I would assume this is how Spurs FO negotiates contracts, but instead of going down they go absurdly up:

    That's a point.
    I am probably taking way too many assumptions here, but I think they plan to operate over the cap next season too anyways, which will still disappoint the fanbase, but I am kind of already getting ready for.
    They must know or have an inkling based on conversations about what both LMA and Danny want to do (and they know for sure Tony wants another contract). If there are actual LMA trades worked out in the future, they may project to no have the opt outs that the twitterverse seems to think they will have. Danny is probably opting out for an increase. Why wouldn't he? 2nd team all defense and still underpaid relative to Mills and Pau now? no. If he opts out it is for more, not for less. LMA? Who knows. The mystery man both in terms of his intentions and whether he will be traded or not. But I just get the sense capspace in 2018 is an illusion and the only way to get better now is either young player development or trades. And the two big man style they featured all season both in starting lineup and bench last season marginalized the young players that they have.
    I keep refreshing the page but still get "3 years, 48 millions" and "5 years 50 millions", so right now i am hoping a that a black hole very near the earth is disturbing the time-space and all the news we are getting are really about the San Antonio Knicks of a different unknown dimension.

    Because we don't know if this is the final move...

    What if Gasol is the starting center and LMA is moved??

    Let's not get worked up over something you don't really know all the details about..
    I do have a su ion the LMA brouhaha has affected everything from CP3 deciding the firesale going on in the Spurs wasn't of interest to him, to him being untradeable bc the Spurs are getting lowballed like a used car salesman, etc. LMA most certainly appeared to want out and I think the Spurs are still trying to accommodate that but will persevere trying to get a trade they like. Meantime yes, they overpaid GAsol bc he would be the only skilled 7 footer they have in the roster. It all comes back to LMA issues IMO. The didn't need Pau to opt out and get this deal if their plan was standing pat tbh.

    Jeff is in a tough situation, tbh... If he doesn't fluff PATFO, he loses his job... for as much as Pop pretends to be a progressive, he and the org always had an iron grip over the local media, tbh...

    Tbh, that's Don Harris. At least Jeff has to write . All Don does is stand in front of a camera and "report" other people's hard work. He's never broken any news and never has any real insight into what the Spurs are doing. That's why he's so easily offended if you talk to him on Twitter.

    And it's usually not even his own original opinion at that. Probably reads them on this site. He's known to lurk here after all.

    Can someone tell me how Gasol opting out did us a favor? Not like we couldn't have kept Mills and sign Gay if he opted in...

    Long story short: it was a plan that didn't pan out, bud.
    They tried, they failed.

    i get why they did it but they couldn't pay simmons 6 mil a year in a league that is heading towards a versatile wing player who can switch to guard the warriors but they paid gasol 16 m a year?

    When on earth will someone leak the contract terms so we can find out what the third year guarantee is?

    All the spurs had to do was sit pretty, let Kawhi have his mvp, Manu get his retirement tour, and then prepare for the massive amount of cap space they'll get in 2018 for the huge FA class. Instead they stack on Gasol's contract even though they could have gotten him for half price next year and still overpay him.

    I still can't believe Gasol opted out for a longer term contract and got more or less the same money per year. Even jefferson got paid less per year when he opted out and that was one of the worst signing during that era. What was the point of this? Until we see contract details proving otherwise, this deal has no silver lining.

    He has an MVP vote. Unreal. Should ask him why he keeps voting for Lebron year after year for All NBA - shouldn't it be someone else's turn?

    What are the chances Pau was gonna leave and sign with another team?
    Minimal, no else is going to offer him that kind of money. Spurs thrive on outbidding themselves.

    Has he actually signed the thing yet? Could this be his price to agree for a s&t?
    Out - Pau, Green, Murray (or other ~1.2M + salary), picks
    In - Kyrie, Thompson
    CLE moves Kyrie's butt, gets out of Thompson's deal (16.4/17.5/18.5 all fully guaranteed) - sheds ~ 7M in cap this year ( which saves Dan Gilbert 22.5M!, I think), and of course gets Murray and picks.

    If this guess is true, undoubtedly, SAS and CLE are arguing over how many are to be picks involved; Pau will only sign once that is settled...
