Official 2016 Spurs Offseason Thread

[cjw]

You think teams are chomping at the bit to acquire a coaster who revived his career for a couple of seasons under the best of cir stances, but has rapidly regressed to Charlotte form?

If I'm well below the salary floor, I'd definitely take him on now that free agency has played itself out in large part. His contract has value next offseason given it's fully non-guaranteed until well into 2017 free agency.

And at $6-$7 million, he's not the worst use of money in this market.

I hope you are right. I fear we will have to attach an asset to move him.

Kyle as first sub for Leonard is scary .

Yes

I don't think they will.

I think once a Diaw trade goes through, we'll see more talk about the team signing these contracts. I think Anderson slides over to the four spot with Bertans, LJC and Simmons competing to take the small-forward spot next to him. If Boban or Tim is retained, I think Milutinov makes sense to bring over, though it could also be Cady.

I'm trying to get confirmation on whether or not a player can in fact be waived/stretched then resigned. If that is the case, I have no idea why SA would not do that as it means a raise for Tim (unless they feel they want every cent of cap space next year and want to eat Tim's fully salary this year only).

It also seems like SA is keeping Manu's cap hold on the books as well.

Random question: If Kobe Bryant wanted to sign for the room exception right now, would you say yes?

no.

They better not be messing around with that cap hold. It's room exception or bust. The team just needs that space.

[ceperez]

Can anyone breakdown the situation with the Gasol signing?

I read that Diaw and Marjanovic will have to go. Is that correct?

If this is possible, I vote we name it The Chinook Maneuver. It's clever.

As much as I hate Ray Allen I'd like to see his clutch shooting at the end of the Spurs bench.

[Leetonidas]

lol Ray Allen. dude has been retired for like 2 years already. he ain't helping no one

[LakerHater]

Damn, spurs coulda gone for that!

[gambit1990]

Can you resign someone who you just stretched?

Yeah, I don't see a single rule against it. You can definitely re-sign guys you waive.

when has someone ever been stretched and then resigned by the same team in the same summer?

if it were possible why wouldn't more teams do it? stretch a player's contract to free cap space... then resign him to the minimum.

Teams usually don't commit to pay a player to be a free agent. Why would that player not just go out a re-sign for more than the min? And is it worth it to lose Bird rights or to expose that player to waivers?

the player would resign for the minimum to help the team out:

If I were the Spurs, I would just stretch Tim right now. I'd tell him if that he could take as long as he wanted to decide and that when he did, there'd be a minimum contract waiting for him.

and if td has to clear waivers... another team could just claim him. would he play for them? probably not. but if he wanted to play that team could then get something from the spurs via trade.

[Chinook]

the player would resign for the minimum to help the team out:

But that's a big risk for most teams, in the same way as letting someone out of their contract with a wink-wink re-signing is. That only happens one a generation, and it's been around longer than the stretch provision has been.

and if td has to clear waivers... another team could just claim him. would he play for them? probably not. but if he wanted to play that team could then get something from the spurs via trade.

It is something that could happen, but it wouldn't. No one's gonna volunteer to take money off the Spurs' hands for no reason.

Westbrook rules out signing an extension with OKC...get on the phone now

[gambit1990]

All i can come up with. We'd obviously have to include future picks but it's highly likely Toronto still says no cuz it does seem pretty lopsided. But since this is a contract year for Bobo then he'll most likely play more motivated and Parker well, maybe he will aswell being in a new environment.

I think your memory is better than Ray's current shooting.
