They wouldn't come out of the gate reporting a long-term deal with a guy just to trade him away on the third day of free agency. He's here to stay at least for the next year or two I would wager.
Evans seems to be injury prone, so not sure about Spurs paying premium for his services.
I would go with a much bigger Patrick Patterson.

I doubt the Spurs are going higher than the MLE. If they are willing to give him more in terms of APY, they're probably hoping for an offer sheet match. Just assuming that Porter is matched, though, the Spurs might well prefer S&Ting for Gay and keeping the MLE for Dedmon or some other big.
Murray, Green, Leonard, Gay, LMA
Mills, White, Anderson, Bertans, Gasol
I understand the sentiment of "renting" a player, but based on the tweet it looked like there was some willingness on the part of the Bucks to shed salary without giving up much. Monroe is also unique in that he's a viable option for the future, so the Spurs would have a year to effectively try him out.
The injury hI story is foncerning. For that reason he might want to do a 1 year deal to rehab his rep or a cheaper long term deal to account for the risk factor.
When healthy, an addition like tyreke could be very useful. He is capabe of being the primary distributor in stretches and taking a load of pressure off of kawhi.
Keeps patty off the ball more. So if derrick white can contribute some this year and tyreke were brought in that gives the team several utility knives type guards with good size and length.
Will be missing an athletic big but it gives the roster some decent flexibility.
At this point i hope Dedmon will stay in San Antonio.
Monroe...eww. A slower less athletic version of LMA without the midrange game. No thanks
Trade LA to PHX for Chriss or MIA 18' 1st.
Use space to soak up Faried and get a pick from them.
Yes, Faried is a downgrade from LA but it will only last 1 yr. Then Spurs have two 1sts to show for Aldridge when he walks.
If Suns give Spurs Chriss, then Spurs have their starting PF/C for the future and the pick they got from DEN.
Georgie's agent cost him big time when he turned down that 80mil extension tbh.
Would've much rather preferred one year of Hill at $25-30M than four years of Mills at $12.5M/yr.
If only that comparison weren't actual garbage, I'd agree with you. Much more effective scorer (FG% and TS%), much better rebounder and passer. Yes, he lacks a stretch game and won't provide rim protection, but he's a much better fit inside the offense.
He wouldn't be an "LMA replacement" either this year or in future years in terms of his usage or role within the offense. But he could be a good piece of the puzzle.
Maybe he really, really doesn't want to stay in Utah.
There's a reason MIL has been wanting to dump him for years now and why DET had been trying to do so before. He sucks.
They traded for Rubio. That probably sapped their interest unless they get someone to take on Burks.
I don't get how SA could not carve out the money for a 1 year deal?
big time.
I kind of feel sorry for him getting greedy. After last season's FA bonanza and how many guys were overpaid, he didn't predict the market would be this tight, but frankly some of the best prospects in the draft this summer were PG anyway, and Georgie is getting old and has been injury prone. Looking back, that Utah offer was nice, and they really liked him + he played very well there, fit in really well and they could have kept their core.... /sigh Too bad for G.Hill.
Carrying five PGs seems excessive doesn't it?
Not when you don't have any for sure starting-level PG's and one is clearly better than all the rest (meaning Hill)
The one year deal is pretty obviously a recent development because Hill wasn't getting what he wanted over multiple years. I think the Spurs-Hill talks were no where near being fruitful and broke off long before Hill got this desperate.
I'm assuming your'e talking about why they didn't offer a one year deal, because picking him up now for 1 year would be a mistake, IMO.
If the Spurs have a le chance in the next 5 years it involves Murray being a star. A one year George Hill rental just gets in the way of that. No thanks.
Its time to roll the dice and hope the Spurs struck some Manu/Parker level luck.
It doesn't work that way. To get Hill for that kind of money would have required massive roster dumps elsewhere.
This is what's missing from the Spurs' offense:
This is what it looks like now:
This exact same thing is happening with the motion sets too. It's all just different ways to set up isos. Even Zipper plays that led to post-ups had great movement, which prevented help defense. People can blame the players all they want, but Pop just isn't running the sets the way he needs to to get guys good shots.
