Exactly, like Simmons, Anderson, Murray and Forbes.
The first domino has been tipped over, now for the rest to fall as well.
Wonder if the Spurs will go after another big. They would have to right?
----------------------------------------------------------
most definitely
How much will the Spurs save with the stretch?
After reconfiguring for Manu's cap hold, I think the Spurs are done with cap space, though they'll have a couple mil if they don't have to stretch him.
Oh I thought the stretch was the best option. What else could they do?
I hope you're right. I don't see any realistic alternative that would be as good.
If he is signing, I'm expect that they would take a day or two before announcing, just for the optics. Don't want people saying "This is the Tim Duncan replacement." He'll never be that.
It's the best option that involves paying Tim to not play this year. But obviously, that's not a given. , they could give him a lifetime contract that could easily total what he stood to make. But I think they'll stretch him. The math just made it seem like they fit it in perfectly for that scenario.
But I thought he already opted in to his final year. So could they re-negotiate that into a FO contract that doesn't count against the cap? I'm confused.
He's retiring, so the Spurs don't have to pay him. They can if they want -- and they probably will. But if they can figure out a better way to get him his money, it's worth consideration.
Ok got it
He's more good for width than depth.
Spurs should write Duncan's number off the cap and then hire him as a big man coach for the same price. Would give them the money for a 3rd/4th big and would be perfectly legal.
Why we need a slower brad miller?
Luis Scola for the vet min? It would be an OK 4th5th big option(assuming the bring someone from overseas).
Same reason we need a shorter Dejuan Blair, I guess. Or maybe it's because signing a dominant C like Quincy Miller would make the Spurs so good that the league would never approve it?
Name someone better that the Spurs could afford, and who is available.
The game going aside from those kind of players, to more small ball type players...
According to NBA Greece , the Celtics, Thunder, Raptors, Pelicans and Spurs have expressed interest in signing Bourousis.
Smart move by Sullinger, tbh..
Good call - thought of your tweet as soon as I saw that news break. ST has been all over this off season. Of course many of us have missed some, but between connecting dots and knowing the CBA lots of good calls.
Yeah he was smart. That's easily the best place for him. He can play, but I'm not a fan (not comfortable with lazy/fat guys on contract year. I can only imagine him once he gets paid).
1 year- 6 mil
Very minimal risk, decent reward ceiling
