Spurs need to get it done tbh.
"If Reaves were an unrestricted free agent, he likely could have drawn the attention of several suitors. Now, only the Spurs stand as a team with the room to give the Lakers a true scare and lob him the 4-year, $100 million maximum offer sheet he can only garner from a rival."

Spurs have a ton of money they have to spend and not a lot of roster spots and free agents left.
It feels like we’re going for one big one (Reaves or Lopez?) or a couple of smaller ones (Divincenzo and Plumlee?).
Spurs don't have a relationship at all with Reaves' agent. Seems he has only represented scrubs.
Not sure why we care here about Reaves since he’s a RFA. Lakers will just match anything he’s offered.
DLO is much more realistic and can probably offer him more than a deal the Lakers will be comfortable doing. I heard they likely only want to have back at $20 mill per at most.
for the trillionth time.
there's zero downside,
they match, you up their payroll
they don't, have you have a great combo guard who can play off a top tier big man and has shown can perform in the playoffs.
The downside is the Spurs money are tied up for a few days.
so what, no one else out there is as good or better.
GMAFB
Patiently waiting for dat Brook Lopez domino . . .
im surprised nothing has even leaked about teams offers etc for him.
there was already the report that said he wasn't coming back to Milwaukee
So if Lopez re-ups in Milwaukee, it's pretty much guaranteed the Spurs throw an offer sheet at Reaves right? Like they can easily get to the floor even if the Lakers match.
goddamnt tell us what ya know
If Spurs aren't comfortable with Reaves at $100M/4 years, they can also offer him a 3 years max contract which should be around $60M. For Reaves, it's still way better than Lakers max offer ($52M/ 4 years).
I imagine that if the Spurs are in on both Brook and Reaves, they'd tell Brook that they're planning on sending the 4 / 98 at Reaves, though if that's matched (Lakers probably will) they'll have a 2 year $50m deal waiting for Brook - given the Spurs are the only team that could offer that, I imagine Brook would be fine waiting, knowing he can probably get $18 - $20m per year from the Bucks if he returns. And, Brook is the only real starting centre left, so if the "targeting a starting centre" rumours are true, then it's got to be Brook at this point.
so money tied up to literally nobody just to mess with a team? The only team that would be messed with, is the Spurs here. Their is no long term hurting the Lakers implication here. They get back a future all star level guard anyway, and they’re not gonna get over the 2nd tax apron with that move because Lakers would only have to pay 12.4 mill the first two years. Which is a ridiculous steal for someone of Reaves’s talent.
just throw 4/$110 million at Reaves, considering all these other deals it seems that's not unreasonable. Ownership needs to realize that's the current economics of the NBA.
Too much money cap available smoke on Reeves and Lopez... So they probably are the two real spurs targets... Or maybe they're just trying to figure out the right amount of money to extend Vassell...
Too all the folks wanting to throw money at reeves in an attempt to f*ck the Lakers.
Dumb.
So far the off-season signings have been what one would hope not above market value and low risk moves.
Now to wait for the final domino's to drop
It’s not just dumb, it’s VERY dumb. What is this, middle school? This is a multi-billion dollar organization. You make moves that are best for this organization. Not moves to hurt yourself in a pathetic attempt to spite someone else. That’s a loser’s mentality.
Brook Lopez, and this possible big Heat trade definitely seems to be holding up the rest. I also think we should go after donte divincenzo. A nice young guard who we don’t have to break the bank for, and don’t have to waste time with since he’s an UFA.
The move for Reaves would be nothing but a positive
but yeah keep the Pom poms out for a 20 win roster that was the second worst team in basketball
brook lopez is 35 slow & injury prone.........do not want....plz no offer
A 20 win team that just added the best generational prospect since Lebron James?
Honestly I don't see any remaining free agents that the Spurs should throw big money at.
Signing back Mamu, "eh". He was interesting to watch but mostly because the team was playing so bad seeing anything resembling a light at the end of the tunnel was nice to talk about.
I hope he gets one of the last two way contracts.
Unless there is a move or two the spurs get in to take on salary to get just over the low level cap.
I think the spurs are done. Only decisions left to make
1. Just figure out an extension for Vassel or wait till start of the season for that. (Don't know enough about how long they can wait, etc.)
2. Look at the current roster under contract an evaluate improvement during summer league
3. Watch other players performing in summer league for a serviceable player to test out in pre-season/training camp.
Brook first. Then you think of Reaves offer sheet.
I agree. Also the spurs and lakers are on two different timelines, with the lakers being toward the end of theirs due to lebrons age. They will be bad regardless of what they do in free agency when he leaves in 2 or 3 years. No use in risking a murder charge over someone with terminal cancer. The lakers will die out naturally, spurs don't need to be involved.
Reaves is also not even a fit on this team. I don't know where you play him without eating into the minutes of Devin, Branham, or Wesley, all 3 being players you spent 1st round capital on. To sign Reaves is to pretty much give up on one of those guys.
