Is he a free agent?
Slot is open for Eubanks, Robinson I guess.

I was really hoping to see him this year.
Music to the ears of Eubanks, Metu and Samanic.
The only "music" Metu's ears should be listening to is the ball bouncing against the hardwood as he trains constantly to make an actual NBA player out of himself tbh
Milutinov was the least of his concerns.
Might be too expensive or redundant with Poetl ?
I hope we go with a good big : vonley, Holmes, robin Lopez ...
Eubanks kinda came out of nowhere last year and seemed pretty decent, wouldn't be surprised if he gets a bigger role this year.
Interesting. Let’s hope this free agency plan is golden.
Which begs the question.....why did we waste a #1 draft pick on him?
In order to have the money for aldridge
because we wiffed a pick. Nothing wrong with wiffing a late first rounder while not investing time in developing him
He's a good player, but not a good fit and too expensive for the role (3rd big). Drafted before poetle, became too good to sign cheaply. Not really a wiff of a pick.
This, though could have also dealt the first for a future first rounder. Every dollar mattered.
This too
He could be Poeltl insurance next offseason should Poeltl get a stupid offer sheet too. They’ve batted three out of four on first rounders over the past four years, and four out of five if you include Kyle. Before that it was barren for a while, though CoJo was decent and so was Hill (and the guy they traded him for). Not bad compared to most teams considering how late they were drafting.
Trade him. Has to have some value right?
Spurs wasted a 1st on a player who was willing to be stashed, in order to save $1.4 million to sign Aldridge. At least that stopped draft and stashes from happening since.
Not too terribly surprising. C with LMA/Poeltl/Eubanks is just not a pressing need at the moment. I wouldn’t be mad if they used the MLE for Milu but it’s not priority 1 imo.
Fine with me, means they don't have to waste some of the MLE on C. But hopefully they bring him over once LMA is gone or they can package him in a trade and not just waste an asset, assuming they haven't pissed off Nikola too much by this point.
Imo they could spend a part of the MLE for a PF/C, the team needs another inside guy. So i will not be surprised to have it with the MLE ( part of it).
The roster looks full of guards and if we signs rudy gay we'll have derozan beli gay bertans samanic for the SF/PF Spots and also Metu. Barring a cut or a trade i see the last roster spot for a PF OR C.
Yeah, I was using Basketball-Reference's team salary page, and it shows Metu as not having any guarantee this year. So I thought the Spurs had an extra roster spot. But Metu is guaranteed for the whole 19-20 season, and they already have 14 spots accounted for.
I also heard yesterday that Milutinov's agent is saying it's a full MLE 3-year deal or nothing, and the Spurs aren't playing. I know at one point he really wanted to play in the NBA. But he may be another one who got his panties twisted because the Spurs didn't treat him the way he wanted. In a way I don't blame him. Pau's dead money from the buyout will count almost as much against this year's cap as what Milutinov would get with the full MLE.
I hope this means draft and stash is dead. , trade the pick to somebody for a future pick.
Ariza has a ring as a starting 3&D role player on the 09 Lakers.Ring chasers ring chase when they haven't won in their careers.
You think Horry was ring chasing?
LOL love Myopic Spur Fan and Spurstalk doofas
As in D.West,TMac,P.Gasol ring chasing?
Man,i just thought you were a troll.I just realized you are a complete moron regarding basketball.
No. Let's be clear here: stashing Miluntinov did not give them any more money to sign guys. LMA's max slot, Leonard's and Green's cap holds and Manu's room exception slot. That math was whatever it was no matter the scenario. Insofar as there was any, the fluidity came from the decision to trade Splitter instead of Diaw and Tim's contract. Once the Spurs decided to go with a Splitter trade, there wasn't any excuse for stashing a pick, because Tim was willing to leave enough on the table to sign Boban. Marjanovic's deal took a larger slice of cap space than the pick would have.
None of this is hindsight. I and other posters here went over the math extensively surrounding that summer. The only thing we didn't know was Tim's number. Now that we know that, we know it never made any sense to not just draft someone who'd've been in the US right away (like Harrell). You can go so far as to argue that that oversight directly led to the team getting screwed in the DeRozan trade, because they would not have valued Poeltl so highly had they already had a promising young big on their roster.
You undercut your whole argument by listing Pau here. Dude already one two rings as a key piece (more key than Ariza for damned sure). You can chase rings no matter how many you've won.
