Official 2016 Spurs Offseason Thread

We'll sign Jordan Hill, book it

[DPG21920]

The Spurs should be looking for either a really old/washed up vet like Varejao or a young guy with potential but no stock like Cady, Stokes or Ndoye. A player like Terrence Jones would be nice, but I'd prefer someone who can play center with that final spot. I'm not sure if there's a decent Euro center to bring over, but that would obviously be a decent option

There is two spots and I would love to see something like Terrence/Motiejunas and a C.

Sacre is also available. I think Varejao is a nice pick up for the minimum given that he's a decent passer.

I only consider one spot open. Playing small means they'll need one of the non-guaranteed guards.

[Joseph Kony]

Unfortunately D-Mo is a RFA and Houston will likely match anything. Terrence Jones is the best we can hope for at this point

Ayon is back on the market. His deal with Madrid apparently fell through (they signed Anthony Randolph instead).

Spurs projected cap breakdown (with the Tim Duncan waiver). Includes the 1st rd. Livio-Jean Charles cap hold. http://yhoo.it/293O0ur

Ayon's greater mobility makes him a better fit than Bourousis.

[outmap]

Ok, the greek center is gone, so who can we sign next??

PF & C
Thomas Robinson, Cole Aldrich, Terrence Jones, Tyler Hansbrough, JJ Hickson, Jordan Hill, Jason Thompson.

If they don't bring Milutinov, who raybies reported was in the stands in SL, I think Pop goes washed up vet route. I just know he has to have the token vet for when he's angry at others out there. There could be a Bonner (yikes!, or Butler type) but its uphill bc we are no longer considered a "contender" by some so we won't get ring chasers like Dwest and even Humphries got 4 mill a year (yuck!)

Unfortunately, Aldrich is off the market. Signed by T-wolves, IIRC.

Not "a Bonner" but "Bonner". To me it is beginning to look like the return of the Red Rocket.

If LJC is playing, his contract must have been finished it he wasn't playing before.

I wonder if the Spurs were able to strongarm him into only taking 80%. Might be a way to squeeze a tiny, tiny extra bit of cap room.

I doubt it. First, because that's awfully -made to do to a stashed guy. Second, because the timing with Duncan being waived suggests 120 percent.

[elemento]

As long as SA doesn't give another contract to Bonner, I'm ok with any guy for the 2 remaining spots tbh.

or they could leave a spot open till midseason which i think they should do at this pt

[GSH]

Thanks bro. I thought the rumor was Bourousis would have been a real asset. I guess not.

Oh, no, I think he was the best backup big that the Spurs had a legit chance of signing. I was just playing sour grapes. Like all the people who never really wanted Durant, after they found out he signed with Golden State.

Bourousis made several statements about playing with the Spurs. I honestly don't know for sure if the Spurs tried to get him. They may not have liked him as much as I did, because the article about him playing in Greece said that he had offers from the Clippers and someone else (maybe Denver?).

He sort of snubbed the Spurs a few years back. Maybe there are some hard feelings, I don't know. But he said that he thought he made a mistake by not coming to the Spurs. It sure sounded like he was trying to get their attention this offseason. The thing I thought would be a bonus was that he and Bertans have played together, and would already have some chemistry.

Ayon never looked as good as I expected, and he had some injury problems. But considering some of the alternatives I'm seeing, he might be worth a look.

Eh, spurs try to get over on first rounders all the time. They could always renounce him, that's the leverage.

Don't know about the timing, but that could be it. Why wouldn't Bertans be done?

That's not leverage. That's FO suicide. There is literally not a worse thing you can do to a player that is not illegal.

Bertans will be done at around the same time as Gasol. But if the Spurs want to sign anyone to a deal that isn't a min contract (meaning also for more than two seasons), then they really need to do it before they start signing their over-the-cap guys. Bertans has to fit into that slot with Pau, so they're going to coordinate those salaries around any other plan with cap space before finalizing them, whereas we pretty much know what LJC will make no matter what.

Hope we can still get Thomas Robinson in some way, he is a ferocious rebounder, and we all know rebounding leads to wins!

I wish we had kicked the tires on Anthony Randolph, tbh.
