My preferences:
1. Manu
2. West
3. Joseph
4. Seraphin
5. Anderson/Ellington
If you're just wanting to replace Ayres with another PF I'd put LJC on there. Strong chance he comes over this year and he'll be just another combo forward thats still developing wing skills.
And do you really think Bryce Cotton is in the running at all? The team had a free shot at him last year and totally passed.
That's true. I'd definitely rather keep Joseph rather than add Lin.
But yeah, CoJo is frustrating...dude balls the out at times and look like he's capable of being a solid starting PG, and then at other times he gets super passive and plays like he doesn't even belong in the rotation. I hope we find some way to keep him even if Manu does return though.
Like I said, it's a personal list. No one's stopping you from making your own.
Joseph typically plays a lot better when he's without Manu or Parker, tbh..when he's asked to create and be aggressive, he thrives, but when he plays with Ginobili or Parker, he becomes frightened, for whatever reason..
Lin actually has a similar problem with playing off the ball..it's not fear, with him, he's just largely useless without it, and his fans will rant about it for months like they did about Harden, Carmelo and Kobe..
No, he's ing garbage. His agent is the smartest man in the business though, how he ever got that big contract from the Knicks, I'll never know.
I'll take Manu in a wheelchair over Lin.
See, for every Lin fanboy who drastically overrates him and rabidly defends him, there are people like you who think he's absolutely worthless and doesn't belong anywhere near an NBA team. He's not THAT bad. He has his uses, and can be a decent bench guard who brings some offense to the 2nd unit. Like I said though, he needs the ball in his hands to be effective. He's worthless off-ball.
Regardless, he's not coming here so we have nothing to worry about.
PG i want Gal Mekel, could be add for the minimum, will give more of a pure PG option than Mills of the bench, good size, take care of the ball, finding people in their spots and solid defender, could be surprise, maybe matthew dellavedova type value(mavs still pay him after buying his 3 years contract)... Big position of course i want to succeed with West, but if not I'll take one of Amare, Evans or Perkins... The wing position that's when it start to be a problem to find the right fit, some of the options are Manu, Casspi, Caron Butler, Rasul Butler, Ellington, Alen Anderson, those are more of a fourth wing options, not sure if they third wing level type players...

Art Parakhouski would be a solid pick-up. Andrew Goudelock has been doing well in the Euroleague too. Jeremy Pargo has been a Spurs target for a while now.
Question: how does LJC work with the cap? Can he be zero cap hold when we sign LMA, and then go on the cap when we bring him over later, or does he have to squeeze into the cap all along for us to be able to bring him in?
LJC as a former first still gets a hold. That hold has to be renounced by an agreement that he not sign until next summer in order to get $19m under the cap.
Pargo have sign in china for 2 mil...
If the team can't get Ginobili back, then Lin has got to be in the team.
Spurs need good offensive execution. Diaw and Ginobili have been providing that. I'm not sure what Parker does. Cojo is unable to figure it out. Anderson is the next best.

Lin cannot thrive without an organized offense.... he has below average athletic talent.
Not to sold on Seraphin... I also don't think he'll come in cheap.
I like Alan Anderson, but I think he isn;t cheap either.
Bargnani is intriguing... but again... I doublt he's cheap.
What do you think about Jarrel Eddie?
I agree ... worthless off-ball. Effective if he is orchestrating the offense. I think it is the same with Kyle Anderson, seems to be almost worthless off-ball.

I also, I'm pretty sure they can see Hibbert to the Spurs from space. I think like with LMA, he really wants to be in SA, and he would love to play with and take over for Duncan even more than Aldridge would. He'll also probably be driven out of LA pretty quickly by the LA media, and he'll be looking for a quiet place to rebuild his image. The Spurs obviously need a defensive-minded center in their second unit, especially if West doesn't sign on. And having Hibbert in the fold would probably help reassure LMA that he'll be a power-forward for his whole contract.
Roy's lost a ton of value, and there's no way I'd touch him on that contract. But for the min? Of course. He had his best offensive season after he spent part of the summer working with Duncan. I think Tim could again get Roy to be productive on that end. If the Spurs could somehow come out of the Duncan years with Aldridge and a refocused Hibbert as their front line, Tim's legacy would have to be at GOAT status.
He was traded to the Lakers? Is this for some future acquisition?
Yes, he was traded to the Lakers (will be finalized after the moratorium just like the Splitter trade), and the impending buyout is obvious. That situation is going to turn toxic by December.
I know he's raw, but is it impossible from a cap perspective to bring over Nikola Mulitonov? Let him develop as our 5th big and emergency wide body over here? Would be good to introduce him to Duncan's work habits before he's gone. And center is certainly a huge need now.
It depends on the cap and salaries. If the cap is $69m then we probably have room to bring him over and honour the deals we've agreed with Duncan and Aldridge, but I still doubt we would do it.
He's just 20 years old and still needs to add bulk. Spurs are better served bringing him later in his career.
However, he seems like an eager beaver.... coming to San Antonio for some kind of meeting.
Again, no one knows what deal they've agreed to with Duncan. That was seriously just based on a rumor that there was speculation from other front offices on what type of contract the Spurs were willing to offer Duncan. I doubt Tim gave them a number. He probably told them to put the best team they could around him and that he'd take what's left. If the Spurs believe Milutinov can help them this season, I don't think they even have to worry about Tim when dropping the $400k in cap space to bring him over.
Pretty much every Spurs prospect come to SA at some point every off-season. Hanga and Bertans have been each of the last four years. Richards used to come before he and the team seemingly had a fall out. LJC was in Vegas last off-season, even though he didn't play in the summer league. Dangubic was in SA last off-season, and I'm sure he'll be in some time in during the summer (probably when he gets cut from the national team). The Spurs have practices and meetings with them to come up with a gameplan for the following year. It's not a strange thing at all. In fact, if the Spurs decide to stash Milutinov, he and the Spurs have to sign a release so that he cap hold goes away. Makes sense to do that while he's in SA.
I think that the front office should make the call to Javtokas and say its his only shot at ever playing in the NBA. He's 35 but still playing decent ball and he is a huge bas .
