Danny's paid back the franchise by being a huge part of deep runs and a championship. Get that money, homieeeeeee
I've got a hunch Danny stays - I know money talks but he's also a loyal player, and I'd imagine he and the FO can work something out. He'd have no career in the NBA if the Spurs hadn't given him a 2nd/3rd chance.

Of course...but I'm working under the assumption Danny will walk and the Spurs must trade Splitter in order to sign LMA. I'm well aware that the Spurs aren't going to get equal value for Splitter/Danny because of their defensive impact within the system, but it's far better than salary dumping Splitter to make room and letting Danny walk for nothing.
Danny is a pretty flashy guy and likes to be seen. He's also Pop's whipping boy. I think he takes his success and turns into a payday elsewhere.
These next few weeks are going to be a bit of a roller coaster. Hey ST --
I'm sure Danny still remembers this too:
Well that's what I was referring to. Spurs won't have to trade Tiago if what you believe is true. You don't have to dump both. You only need one gone: Danny or Tiago. If you think Danny walks, no reason to trade Tiago, you'll have the cap space to sign LMA (with other minor moves).
Why doesnt Peter Holt pay the cap hit, he can afford it!
Besides doesnt the cap go up the following season anyway, so he'd only pay the hit for 1 season.
It's not about going over the cap (they might do that anyway) they cannot sign lma you a Max contract if they don't already have the space to do it. Then they can sign their own FAs by going over the cap.
Also, holy is by far the poorest owner in the nba
It's a salary cap issue not a luxury tax issue. We can keep everybody no problem, but then can't sign anybody new
If Aldridge does come here, when would he be likely to sign? I'm wondering how long all of this will be up in the air.
Aldridge has been quoted as saying he wants the process over with quickly:
http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/in...of_course.htmlTeams are eligible to start recruiting Aldridge on July 1. He said he doesn't intend to make his decision a drawn out process.
"I'm definitely not one to prolong things or drag it out,'' Aldridge said. "That's not really my personality."
I'd bet we know one way or the other before next weekend begins. Maybe even by eod Wednesday.
I wouldn't be shocked if Aldridge makes his decision by next weekend and half the illegal fire works popped in the San Antonio city limits are celebration for Aldridge
No one has brought this up but one of the factors in Aldridge signing has to be if Pop stays as head coach the length of his contract. Is Pop really up for coaching another 5 years?
If only mark Davis paid attention to Xmas, tweets and moved to San Antonio, we could've had the Raiders pitch for them to join the Spurs
Wednesday, July 1 is the day teams can start recruiting players, but I believe July 9 is the day when players can officially sign their contracts.
But players and teams can agree to terms before the 9th
wants to be the #1 star in a contender team. Otherwise, he should stay in Portland or go to L.A.L or Cleveland.
I think with the addition of LMA, it might encourage him to stay longer especially if the expected results of winning another occurs. He could at least stay 2 extra years with the thought that Duncan signs on for 2 more to try for that elusive back-to-back win if next year is a banner year. In any event, Pop (and who ever follows him - in house person probably) for 2-5 years is still better than Byron Scott and rookies, and the Mavs and their coach imo.
Ugh, Dallas and their famous three ring circus when recruiting.
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he ends up there; I'm just ready for some news next week, one way or the other.
I can't believe some players love the dog and pony shows some teams put on for free agents. It's embarrassing.
I don't think JJ and Dez are going to sway LMA one way or another. Aldridge is really laid back and probably not into all the ass kissing. Jerry can't even get Dez to sign on the dotted line, how is he supposed to help with LMA?

If Aldridge really gets swayed by all that and signs in Dallas, then forget him, he wouldn't be a good fit in SA anyway.
Good news.The Spurs are already reported to be his most likely destination. The sooner he makes a decision, the more likely it is he chooses San Antonio.
