Thinking Mills deal might be paired with Danny and LMA for a big midseason deal. Conley and Gasol work. Might be time to tear it down in Memphis
Honest question: why does Patty's 6.8MM cap hold matter if a) it's only for this year and b) the spurs weren't able to parlay that into a max player? I just don't see the significance of it considering the spurs haven't reached an agreement with anyone else?

I don't think that's the plan at all but, if Tony doesn't look like he will be able to play again maybe we could package him +mills+lma for Conley and Gasol? It would give them a kit of cap space (which is becoming more valuable). Like I said, I don't think that's the plan but who knows...
Spur fan down playing the Rockets moves. Spurs are ed if they land Melo. Spurs ain't beating CP3/Harden/Melo. And idgaf about "ball dominant" players, they'll make it work somehow.
Some here are delusional. All he has to be is Olympic Melo.
^^ Spoiled spurs fans. Should be content with making a playoff appearance regardless of getting raw-dogged by the Clipps or Rockets in round one
u new here ?
The Spurs didn't know they weren't going to sign a max player when they gave Mills his deal. In that same way, they didn't know they were going to miss out on a max player when they asked Pau to opt out. Those are things they did before free agency. It would be like saving up to buy concert tickets only for them to sell out before you could get one. Sure, someone could say you were dumb to save up if you didn't get what you want, but that's hindsight.
Also, don't know if this was posted yet, but...
GS still not standing pat while PATFO likes the team we have against last year's iteration of the Golden Showers.

Imagine if the Spurs added CP3 and Melo? People here would be calling for 3-peats.Some here are delusional. All he has to be is Olympic Melo.
HA I'm not but ive never known it meant that lol

Every player in the league is until they join the Spurs, apparently.Imagine if the Spurs added CP3 and Melo? People here would be calling for 3-peats.
We might as well try to trade for Melo if this is the case. Simmons is young but will never be able to shoot
It wasn't just the CSKA offer. There were rumors at a number of NBA teams offering him an APY in that range. Someone "reported" on Twitter just today that Teodosic's deal was $25M/2. I knew that was wrong since it was from the Clippers, but it just goes to show that there was a lot of belief that he was going to get more, but that's been the theme of the off-season.
Considering how Gasol has worked out, I would be interested in knowing how Bourousis would have worked out and how much it would have taken to sign him. I remember us all talking about how the Spurs should run to the international market to try to avoid the crazy salaries last year. I really wish they had, and it's really odd that they've only seemed to have become more domestic in recent years.
But that didn't really answer my question. You keep emphasizing the 6.8MM figure for this year -- but it only matters for purposes of more cap space for this year only, right? I'm pointing this out because the length of the contract is almost worse than the amount per year.
And I don't know if I buy the hindsight argument. I don't buy that the Spurs would have had no clue whether a max free agent would commit to them until 12:01am. Like LMA, there surely had to be back-channel talks. Plus, they knew CP3 was off the marker before they committed to Patty. All of which negates the hindsight narrative.
Every player in the league is until they join the Spurs, apparently.so true
That's a good one.
Figured the Knicks would try to max a player like Simmons
Yes, he's 28 and mostly inconsistent. It wouldn't kill the Spurs, but they have no one to fill his role. That said, if the Spurs can conserve cap space next year, they will be power players.Figured the Knicks would try to max a player like Simmons
And they are perfect fits when they have interest, but as soon as they go elsewhere they are useless and cancerous.Every player in the league is until they join the Spurs, apparently.
