Official 2017 Offseason Thread

Mills and LMA need to get the off of this team, why would anyone want those two choking scrubs on this team?

You will get your wish regarding Mills. He will get a huge contract and won't be a Spur next year. Will still be stuck with LMA next year.

SF:Kawhi
SG:Simmons
PG: DJ Murray
C: Dedmon
PF:KA

the bench. And yeah I know my lineup is probably terrible in one way or another but I don't give a as long as LMA and Pau are gone.

PG-Mills-Murray
SG- Green- Manu
SF-Leonard- Simmons (or FA/ 1st round pick if Manu retires)
PF-Anderson- Bertans
C-Aldridge- FA/1st round pick -Milutinov

Hopefully the spurs go the pace and space route with LMA a center and Anderson, Bertans or Kawhi at the 4 for the majority or all of every game. Move Pau and try and rebuild depth at center through FA and the draft That's a start.

[cd021]

Gasol will probably opt in so the spurs won't be able to afford to keep both Mills and Simmons.

Spurs could dump his contract on a team like Minny, they've shown interest and have the cap to absorb his deal. Mills and Simmons could be both retained then.

[Nathan89]

If Pau prevent us from overpaying Mills for multiple years to come then he may be a blessing is disguise tbh.

Last night i shared the same just about as far as the starting lineup goes, but i differed slightly with PG and back up C. In my scenario I kept Pau and I have my reasons and I let Patty walk. I keep Murray and develop him next year and bring in a veteran PG.

Would we have to take back another salary in return like Rubio's in a trade with the Wolves????

[eDizzle20]

I believe the Spurs will need to address the PG position that can take some of the offensive facilitating off Kawhi. Parker was doing a great job of it during the playoffs before suffering the injury. Who knows how effective he'll be once he is back either, at his age. Depending on what D-Rose's price tag will be this offseason I believe he could even be the answer. This team depends too much on Kawhi for generating offense while also having him guarding the other team's best player.

[cd98]

Spurs aren't signing an all star this offseason. They are going to have to develop one of the crop into one.

[cd021]

I was thinking a second round pick, either going out or coming in. They wanted him in the off season, they would be the obvious trade partner.

[tbdog]

Another crazy scenario is trade for Dummond. It would take Gasol, Bertans, and sign & trade with Mills.

[JR3]

Pay Simmons, find another young athlete with heart and decent defense to replace LMA, try to grab some shooters and/or playmakers, and give Kawhi the ball and get out of the way.

Agreed

Kawhi goes to Chicago and comes back with..

Spurs could have drafted Butler with #29th pick and Bulls drafted LA before trading him to Portland for Tyrus Thomas.

[ace3g]

If/when it happens, Woj has been posting offseason articles on eliminated teams; see if there are any early nuggets.

[TheGreatYacht]

Said it before, and I'll keep saying it. Avery Bradley and/or Marcus Smart for Aldridge.

The perfect Spurs. Bradley is an actual 3&D player unlike the fraud we're starting at SG

Plus it will clear cap for CP3's arrival

[kaji157]

Aldridge and Gasol for Lowry, Ibaka and Valanciunas.

It works as a end of season trade, you get bird rights on Lowry and Ibaka to negotiate off you want them or not and are basically trading Aldridge for Valanciunas.

Has the NBA draft date changed? Wasn't it normally a few days later in previous years? Like on a Thursday night?

edit: I thought it was later but last year was the 23rd. Thought it was like the 25th or 26th though.

Yeah, I thought that was the case. I was never able to watch it live because of work (I think it was normally on a Friday morning here in Australia, which is Thursday night in the US). I think this is the first time I'll be able to watch it live.

[SAGirl]

There are guys like Gallinari out there too. It's rumored he's opting out...

[MaNu4Tres]

I want Spurs to draft Jordan Bell really really bad.

So that means he'll be drafted elsewhere.

He's probably going Top 15 anyways
