Need to see what the pacers cap situation looks like
Last contract, $13.8 million. Not cheap.
If we get bogdanovic and can't get Aminu then maybe for the mle.
Unless we sign and trade for Bojan then we couldn't use the MLE too.
My understanding is if we s&t for bogdanovic then we still have the mle available.
We won't get Bojan so we might settle for this guy, great defender, zero skills offensively not even as a spot up shooter
We’d be lucky to get him. Professional and quality character guy.
ST has been in love with this guy forever tbh
Always liked him, but don't see him coming here unless we get rid of a piece or two and take a big salary (like in a trade).
Yes. Basically, convince Bojan to agree to terms on a deal with the Spurs and then engage Indiana with an S&T for Beli and Bertans. Would still have the MLE in that situation and an extra roster spot.
We could offer Bertans on a nine finger discount.
This would be my first choice
Yes please. Full MLE. Then give the lower level exception (if that's still a thing) to a veteran SF like DeMarre Carroll. Move Belinelli and Bertans for some cap relief and get to something like this:
White Mills
Murray Forbes Walker
DeRozan Carroll Johnson
Young Gay Samanic
Aldridge Poeltl Eubanks
I really don't think Carroll would take the LLE (which we do not have to give, because we used it last summer) his floor is probably at least $6 million. Thad Young is making more than $9.2 million unless he wants to content for a chip.
he ranks 2nd as my PF option after Marcus Morris. Hustle player, high bball IQ, good passer, good defender, ok 3-point shooter and most importantly: Left handed. Playing a lefty next to Aldridge makes too much sense
nice player who'd primarily be competing with rudy, so doesnt make sense to pay both imho
i do like him, though, but seems like we're set on retaining rudy
I have wanted the Spurs to sign Young for years. Does he still have enough in the tank, and can we sign him to a reasonable deal?
Dammit, every time I look at this thread I see that. And every time, it distracts me.
Haven't watched Young for ages as I don't follow Pacers. But I've always liked his game. The issue is due to our draft choice and likely to resign Gay, I don't see the point signing strictly a 4.
The point is that Gay comes off the bench and by playing DeRozan at the 3 (or Bogdanovic) you'd want the other starting forward to be a defender
That would be the most 3pt challenged lineup in the entire league.
considering the Spurs are likely rolling with LA/Poeltl as the C rotation, no reason to add another guy like Young to clog up the front court with Rudy/Bertans (assuming he isnt moved). Spurs should be looking at wing depth, Young is a PF/C in 2020 NBA and would be redundant with post guys like LA/DD/Gay. money would be better spent elsewhere
Already have gay tbh
If you're willing to settle for those qualities, sign RHJ. He's 7 years younger.
