Well, it's nice to see Kyle and Simms working together in the offseason...If Spurs don't get the talent, they need to increase chemistry to become more solid as a team
Very true. I got kyle but that 61 year old in Vegas might take me. Need to put that out there for purposes of humility.Man, I don't doubt you. It was just low-hanging fruit. And you did pick Fathead for your comparison.
Edited to use the name kyle. A promise is a promise.

appreciated.
I think some guys have too much uncertainty over their heads right now bc they are FA (JSimms, Dedmon, Mills, Lee), then others have been in trade rumors so their future is also uncertain (Danny).
Only one who is a diva who clearly doesn't want to be a Spur is Lamarcus. He's definitely not Spurs material and is going to be a cancer moving on forward.
But about Murray: he's a breath of fresh air with all these stupid dramas from divaMarcus.
Love murray's enthusiasm. It's genuine too.
The kid's pride is impressive too. You can't teach that.
Pride+love for the game+hardwork= recipe for greatnesz.
I expect big things from this kid.
I'm calling it now - he will be an all star by his fifth year in the league.
I think the Spurs primary target once free agency starts will be Paul Millsap. He does everything well and played under coach Bud for the Spurs of the east. Despite his 32 years of age his injury track record has been great thus far in his career.
I agree with you but I wonder what playing for Pop would do to someone with his potential
- Six to eight teams are expected to pursue Hawks forward Paul Millsap, tweetsChris Vivlamore of The Atlanta Journal Cons ution. The Nuggets, Spurs and Rockets are teams that have expressed interest in Millsap, although Houston’s plans may be altered by the package it gave the Clippers today in exchange for Chris Paul. New Hawks GM Travis Schlenk has said the Hawks don’t expect to make a full max offer to Millsap.
Hope this is true. Would love to see the Spurs with interest in Millsap. Wonder what Plan B is now that Paul is off the table
So, with slug Aldridge still on the roster, what would the cap room look like?
If Milutinov doesn't come, and crippled retiree Parker isn't stretched and dumped ...
Aldridge
Kawhi
Green
Parker
Bertans
Murray
Anderson
D. White
Forbes
Simmons Qualifying Offer
Duncan stretch
LJC waive
Roster charge
Gets to about 78.7 ...
Leaves about 20 million but they still probably owe lazy Gasol, that probably eats 8-10, and what's left isn't enough to sign Hill or Jrue probably.
Teague and Rose
Don't want either.
And room left for Manu or Hanga, minimum maybe for Manu, etc
This. With our draft moves, have plenty of guards. Need more bigs that can play. Great point too on him playing under Coach Bud. Pop will have the inside knowledge on him as far as signing him and how he likes to be coached. Millsap is a lunch pale kind of guy too, he's no primadonna / spotlight hog.
Yup. Love his at ude. This kid will be the glue guy in the future.
I hope he can also grow into a leadership role. He'll need it as the team's future starting point guard.
Here comes the Paul Milsap mega thread that'll ultimately be all a fart in the wind, per par.
Glad to see more people recognizing how serious Murray will be moving forward. Kid is legit and has star potential -- been saying it for 8 months now.
Get Millsap to committ.
Trade LA to PHX for Chriss..use that money for Millsap.
Trade Green, Kyle Anderson, Derrick White for PG13
Murray/ Forbes / vet PG/ TP
PG13/Simmons/ Hanga
Kawhi/Hanga/ Blossomgame
Millsap/Bertans
Chriss/ Pau/Splitter
Im rooting for Millsap to the Spurs but I took this report with a grain of salt... Same issues as CP3, getting old and gonna want length... But i wasn't about to make a thread. someone else will surely.
Media...
"There's no way the Spurs have the cap space to sign CP3, but Houston can easily afford CP3 and Paul George on max contracts and stay under the cap."
Those would be great moves, if they happened.
Sucks to lose Green, but sacrifices would have to be made, and he honestly hasn't helped himself with his icy hot act.
Is he worth a near max contract though? If the price is right I would love millsap.
Would Atlanta pull the trigger on a sign and trade for a one year rental of lma? Doubtful but if the millsap price is right then it is something that should be considered. If they strike out on big men in free agency they might take him as opposed to getting nothing in return.
When are we going to get a player that tells their team they only want to go to SA and force their way here
Also, while I wouldn't be pissed or anything, I'm not on the Millsap bandwagon. He's basically a worse version of LMA at everything except passing.
When one of pop's relatives makes the nba. Or alternatively, when one of r.c.'s african exchange students make the nba.When are we going to get a player that tells their team they only want to go to SA and force their way here
Yeah, they better not touch Murray in any trade scenerio tbh
This is where I'm at right now with what I'd like to see
Murray/White/Parker
Leonard/Green/Forbes
Iguodala/Simmons/Blossomgame
Millsap/Anderson/Bertans
Gasol/Milutinov/????
You keep Green. Use cap to sign Andre. 15-18 mill. S&T Aldridge for Millsap, Aldridge going to another team and Atlanta getting a pick from us or other team. Pau Gasol on Mid Level deal. Still have the room exception or bi annual for Hanga or a big and then what's left get another big.
Love the potential of this lineup though. So many guards to throw on others for defense. Small ball lineup would be great and you would have so many options. I get the Iggy age arguments but let's face he's probably gonna want to win and get more money and you want him off GS. Here he starts and can legitimately have a chance at GS to give them a good series. I'm looking at 3 year deals for both.
You could close with Simmons/Green/Leonard/Iggy/Millsap. That lineup would be insane on D and not too shabby on offense.
I've talked myself out of the Hill scenarios cause if you believe Murray is the guard of the future then he needs his space. You have higher upside in Murray and you don't have conflicting rotations.
You realize that the passing is probably the difference between the beautiful game and predictable possessions right? And Millsap performs in the playoffs, not to mention is a character guy that will gladly accept his role.
He is not a worse Aldridge by any means. He has heart, plays hard, and has overachieved after being overlooked so much.
If Aldridge could pass, the Spurs offense would flow so much more smoothly... wow
Apparently he is wanting 30 mil a year. At his age, the spurs should take a pass on him. Not worth anything near that price tag.
These contracts are rising faster than interest rates in the seventies.
It's like the nba is gizmo and some dumb bas fed it after midnight. It's escalating out if control.
