Massive tax next year?
And no Gay?
Why aren't we looking to acquire Marc Gasol? He can fit in with LMA and Derozan from a timeline/age perspective. Memphis probably want an expiring plus pick, give them Pau + Toronto's pick. We aren't gonna get better any other way, and his contract expires in 2020, while Derozan and LMA expire in 2021.

Because we have a center named LMA
They can start together, and then stagger their minutes as much as possible where one of them is always on the court as the C. Simply, you limit their shared time on the court, Poeltl isn't exactly lighting it up and Pau should not be playing a single minute anyway.
Because he really wouldn't make us that much better. Think defensively, instead of just an NBA name you have heard.
It's just not wise to have 2 centers out of 3 highest-paid players in 2019. Think of the Pelicans trying AD-Boogie pairing, they became better after Boogie got hurt.
Every modern NBA offense will kill the team with 2 heavy centers.
No way I want Gasol tbh. Spurs have finally went away from the 2 big lineup. Gay and LMA, Bertans and Poeltl is about as good as a big rotation as any.
Also Aldridge would have to defend 4s meaning more time away from the rim and near the perimeter, making him less effective defensively. I don't think Marc would much better than the version of Pau from the first half of the season last year in the system and making significantly more.
So i guess by standing pat that is the Spurs way of tanking.
If they are things will heat around 10 11am. Then they’ll say we were close to acquiring something
All these wings being moved and the Spurs are just standing around with their in their hand.

Another slow big man. While he’s a massive improvement over his brother, still his game is antiquated in this new style of game. I wouldn’t waste my 1st pick on him. We need athleticism, big men who can roll on defense, chase and block, besides shooting higher percentage 3’s. Not Marc. Nope. I pass.
while I agree with that (since 2016), Pop does not seem to think this is necessary.
And PATFO doesn't even have the common courtesy to give the fans a reach around.
I can’t see the Spurs giving a pick for an expiring contract. I look forward to the failed free agency pursuit of him.
Just name dropping the Spurs. 0% chance they do anything
Yeah Nikola mirotic is alright but we need a wing!!
Mirotic is one of the more talented European players. Under a system like the Spurs, he can thrive.
Supposedly the Lakers have re-engaged trade talks with the Pelicans.
If we were to get him I would inser either mirotic or bertans into starting lineup. Most likely mirotic and move gay to the bench to play the 3.

Mills/belli/Gay/Bertans/Poetl
PATFO fluffers getting all their quotes ready from 2015-2018 when Drunkford stood pat at the deadline
"I like what we have"
"Hey, at least RC tried. Didn't you see all those links to us?"
"Let's wait out to see who gets bought out"
"Joel Anthony is a champion, y'know"
Just a matter of time
Gay can barely play the 3 any more. Bertans already doesn't get enough shots or minutes.
Isnt Mirotic a bit over kill. We already have a player very similar to him in Bertans and even he can’t get enough time on the court. Mirotic is stuck in between the 3 and 4. He’s not quite mobile enough to be able to run at the 3, we already see this problem with Gay and Bertans. Plus he’s a me first player, always looking for his shot first. Doesn’t fit in with Pops culture at all. Don’t get me wrong I would like to have him but not willing to give up any young pieces or 1rd picks at all.
