    Based on the premis that Tim Duncan and Manu are going to retire.

    1. Make sure I bring back the following players. Simmons, Anderson, Mills, and Marjanovic. They will keep our bench productive.

    2. Create enough cap space to go after Hassan Whiteside. He is young, and a player that can be very effective without the basketball, he would also be the perfect compliment to LaMarcus and Kawhi. Second choice is Ian Mahinmi Very similar player to Whiteside but at about half the cost.

    3. I'd draft the best available player but specifically look at PG or 2 guard as my top priority.

    4. I would NOT bring back the following players: Boris Diaw, Matt Bonner, David West, Andre Miller, and Kevin Martin. Time to move on from these old dudes and bring in some new blood.

    I would quietly shop Parker around, if I had a taker I'd do it unless it was taking back a worse contract. If I don't find the right deal, it is no big deal to keep him and try again near the trade deadline. He still has a little bit left in him, but his expiring contract is very valuable to many teams.

    This team needs a little more re-tooling and it will be ready to win championships again.
    Hmm..

    1. Our bench the bed in the playoffs
    2. lol
    3. I'd look to sign a vet PG over trying to train one
    4. I like David West
    5. You can't shop Parker. SA fans won't have it.

    This team won't be ready to win a ring again until they get some solid 3pt shooting and a PG with handles and court vision. He can be a good outside shooter but not required.

    That is bad for business and so would letting West go. Players need to see that we will take care of them. The short term gain is going to be outweighed by the long term damage to the image of our front office for not treating the players right.

    I would take him in a heartbeat and we would win the le with him. He brings the much needed scoring to the table. Which would allow Kawhi to focus more on defense and not feel like he has to do it all.

    No way. It's worse for business if the Spurs are known for sacrificing the team to stay loyal to players that are hurting the team and not making decisions based on making the team better.

    NBA players like loyalty, you are looking at this from a fans perspective. Most players will look at Tony and go "Man, that guy is a future hall of famer and has helped deliver the Spurs 4 championships and they did him dirty by shipping him off to Philly/Minnesota/wherever. Thats messed up man, I wouldnt want that to happen to me." The players will see we treated him right and want to come play for us. Keeping him dosnt really hurt us that badly with the cap rising.

    I don't agree. They'll be saying, " ...them s gave $15,000,000 per year for a player past his prime. Where do I sign".

    And it's not like Parker doesn't get every penny of that. Wherever he goes.

    Parker played selfish and it cost us. I don't think he can handle not being the man on this team. He is no longer the PG he once was, but he doesn't accept that, he took how many shots in the 4th quarter of game 5? Parker is not the man to run this offense.

    That is why if we strike out with durant, we will go after Conley. Imo, we will be getting conley, parker will be our backup PG and Mills will move to shooting guard. Or we will trade Mills.

    Pull up the KA Draft Thread. Almost everyone here thought he was a "Manu replacement"
    Because people are silly. Manu is a hall of famer. Those types of players are rare. Just because KA isn't Manu in his second year at age 22 does not mean he isn't a good player. , Manu wasn't even in the NBA until 26. Anderson has progressed very well and has a lot of talent. He is a solid player. People here just love to hate.

    The same logic you're applying says any player who's not a good player at 22 will be a HOFer.

    What??? No, not at all. How the did you get that?

    All I am saying is here at ST if someone isn't an immediate super star, people say they suck. But I mean, a lot of people think Pop sucks, so I am not surprised.

    That's true, but using exceptions to the rule doesn't invalidate the rule. If someone appears to suck, often it's because they suck.

    Assuming Duncan/Ginobili/Miller retire....

    Draft Thon Maker
    Pursue the out of Durant.
    Trade Tony, Boris, and (Green, only if it's needed to acquire Durant).
    If you can't get Durant, still trade Boris, Tony.
    Dump Bonner
    Grab Conley, and a big back up pg (MCW)
    Pau is an option, or Biyombo.

    Lots of options, basically listed some players I wanna see in a Spurs uniform.

    Agreed. But Kyle Anderson doesn't appear to suck. A lot of ST wants every Spur from Timmy to the last man off the bench to be HOF status it seems. That's not how it works. Kyle Anderson is a solid young player that has gotten better over time and is still 22. He is long, smart, and can pass the rock. His defense also has been solid. It would be foolish to let him go. The KA hate is just plain stupid.

    The problem isn't Anderson. The problem is how Pop is using him. You cannot put a guy who's still figuring out into a situation where his failure is so obvious to everyone. Pop seems to get that with bigs like Boban but he sees things in people like Anderson and forces the issue. If they fizz he ditches them.

    Other than the few times he had to guard a good big men, what failure of his is so obvious to everyone?

    Kyle Anderson is a good young player entering his 3rd season. You are fools to think he sucks.

    Guarding good bigs plus he's a snail on a fast break. You can get nachos and back before he scores.

    Yet he was still able to get the job done. He had quiet a few steals and one man medium break scores.

    Also, I do not usually expect second year Small Forwards to be Wilt when guarding the leagues top bigs.
