Official 2016 Spurs Offseason Thread

Parker gets criticized for being overpaid... Manu's last two playoff performances are vets min worthy, anything more is just idiotic.

Would rather keep Boban

Release Turnobili and give his salary to a true leader in MVParker, tbh.

It's the right thing to do, IMHO. Parker isn't even getting Tyler Johnson money.

Spurs should follow Memphis' lead and pay their floor general

man the spurs backcourt sux, and no talk to any guard

Front court was the more pressing need. They at least have four guards under contract and it'll soon be five. They only had two bigs and to get another, they had to remove one of said bigs.

It's also what was available to them. They knew they could get the Duncan replacement, in Gasol, but outside of Conley, who was always going to stay a Grizzly if they offered him the five year max, there was no clear upgrade on Parker to be had.

As weird as it sounds after that legendary KBP thread, I keep hoping the Spurs really are going to sign Bourousis. He's a big sonofa , and has played well in Europe. There was a time he would definitely have been up to coming off the bench for Gasol, at the least. He's 32, so he's younger than Pau. But he sort of ed the Spurs over a few years ago, so maybe they don't want him anymore? But he says he's definitely ready to come over.

Do you feel that you made a mistake in the summer of ’09 when you didn’t sign with the Spurs? Ioannis Bourousis: “We had made an appointment in Berlin with coach Popovic. He showed great interest in me. The offer was excellent, but I had other things in mind then. With the experiences I’ve gained from abroad and with my way of thinking now, yes, I can tell you that I made a mistake.”

If you had a good offer from the NBA in the summer, would you go? Ioannis Bourousis: “If it’s an offer that makes me feel like the team wants me and knows what I can offer, yes, now I’d go to the NBA.”

[Chinook]

Can't we go over with Manu's contract and the have the mle available to us?

No. It's gone. It doesn't come back.

I'm oddly hoping for Bourousis and Anthony Randolph. It's like some bizarro time machine I never expected to happen.

really not knowing what Tim is doing & not wanting any dead money next year.

Crazy that they had to trade Boris, aren't stretching Tim & how Manu's cap hold is still on the books. Plus, the fact that everyone seems to be saying that Manu's $ & Tim's decision actually really holding things up.

It's just hard for me to believe that this thing with Tim is just in the wind like that. I keep looking for some angle. I really do think Tim is done, and that they are just working on a way to use his contract to benefit the team somehow. Maybe I just give people too much credit, but I can't believe he would leave the team hanging like this. He knows how important free agency is.

I am completely confused at this point, but unless we are willing to lose Manu or Boban for certain, we can only offer him the minimum right?

I mean, he's earned the right to take his time. If he truly doesn't know yet (which I believe to be the case) SA doesn't do anything until he lets them know for certain.

It's not a good situation but Tim has earned the right to take his time and truly decide a huge decision.

Or the Room Exception. Or cap space money if Tim is waived/stretched or traded (which doesn't seem likely at this point for some reason).

Waiting on Tim's announcement is costing me money too. I keep logging onto this site instead of working! But I'm such a Spurs fan I keep checking in and then get sucked into reading and posting.

Thanks for the clarification.

Are we going to keep Hanlan?

[Dancelot]

Are we going to keep Hanlan?

Only if we want a

[LakerHater]

Are we going to keep Hanlan?

Doubt it

[Chinook]

Are we going to keep Hanlan?

He's not on the roster. Hopefully he's content to stay overseas. Much better than Denmon.

[BillMc]

Our roster as of now (either under contract or *supposedly committed to contracts, or have no leverage to go anywhere else).

1. Parker, Mills, Murray*
2. Green, Simmons
3. Leonard, Anderson, Bertans*
4. Aldridge
5 Gasol*

Manu, Boban, Duncan are all "in play" one way or another. Bonner is either gone or a last minute re-sign.

Have I missed anyone?

Forbes and Arcidiacono are both locked up, if yiu want to count them. Dunno about LJC. Parker said he was coming, so it's not exactly speculation.

Thanks. I guess Tony wouldn't say LJC is definitely coming if it wasn't true.

Oh, well, who needs income.

[ace3g]

Should I throw Scola's name out there?

If the Spurs needed a PF, yeah. I really do think it's going to be handled by committee, though.

Front line is relative weak with just Aldridge, Gasol and perhaps Boban. May need someone cheap.

[FutureMan]

So we have 5 pg's under contract?
