What are the exceptions?
Hmmm. Same with Parker?
Just thinking out loud here.
What are the exceptions?
George Hill and Iggie would be great defensive pick ups.
Expected after a stinker of playoffs.
not sure what but i think it would make sense if the spurs make dramatic rotation changes if not just wholesale roster amendments.
I nearly threw up reading that quote and the realization that Pau is going to be here, getting paid $16 mil. What a dark cloud hanging over the organization next year.
If Spurs can get a FA to come here, you better bet your ass Spurs will trade him in a heartbeat. His opt in means zero if Spurs can get the FA they want. Whether if its CP3, Hayward or Jrue.
What teams could take on a salary dump like Pau in order for the Spurs to clear up cap space? The real great thing about it is that it's an expiring contract.
He won't be hard to move. Several of the GM's out there see real value n him and will point to things like him having more blocks than any other player over the last 25 games...his PER etc to justify the acquisition.
I can see a situation where Spurs do Gasol a solid and trade him to Memphis to finish his career where it all started and to play with his brother.
Whether if its Gasol to Memphis for a conditional second (if they can open up space to soak up Gasol). Or trade for Brandan Wright straight up. Spurs would net 11 million in space in the deal instead of 16, but they'd also get a Dedmon replacement for next year without committing 3-4 years.
I like that idea - either one. I don't know whether PATFO is even proactive enough to think of it.
Spurs should have no problem dumping Pau to land a FA they love even if it cost them their first rounder this year (worst case)
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...ry-in-contractThe Miami Heat and Chris Bosh may be nearing an agreement that would relieve the team of Bosh's salary going forward, the Sun Sentinel's Ira Winderman reported Tuesday.
Chris Bosh is more done than LMA tbh.
Yes, but it gets him off their books and opens up their cap space to take a player like LMA or Pau
Forget chasing someone like Paul. I know the cap gymnastics are tough, but this front office has proven it's pretty creative when it needs to be.
You want to sharpen the sword for dealing with the Warriors next year?
Go get Iguodala and Re this offseason. You add two perimeter threats who can score, create, and in the case of Iggy you add another dynamic defender to pair with Kawhi and Green.
Wont have the money for that. If Iggy takes a paycut, it will be to stay in GS. Red will get 18-22 mil.
Red is going to cost too much and Iguodala can't shoot.
If they can't dump him for free to a team like Minnesota, the going rate for about 15 million is a first round pick.
Brooklyn took on 3 yrs going forward and almost $20 million to get the 22nd pick from Washington
A 2018 lotto protected first will get it done
Doesn't work financially and there's no realistic path to doing so. If he get's traded, it'll probably be to the Timberwolves and as a means to an end to signing Hill.
David lee for 2.3 was a steal. Pau is making 8x lee.... and hes about a third of the player
It will in July, if players are renounced and both teams are under the cap. IIRC
Right now it won't work, as the incoming aggregate Gasol salary to the Grizzlies exceeds what's allowed via the 125% plus 100,000 rule. Both teams are currently over the cap.
