Damn, that's a juicy roster
We all know how this ends...essentially the same team comes back except a few players who are replaced with lesser talented players.

David Pick @IAmDPick
4h
Source: EA7 Milano and Miroslav Raduljica reach €250K settlement to terminate €900K deal in 2017-18 as the Serbian giant turns free agent.
It would not surprise me. This past season was pretty unspectacular and still they ended up with 7 new players... They have 4 FA and that's where we could see some changes + the draft pick.
Too expensive for meh talent. Not the way to go.
SA needs to figure out a wa to reel in number 26 from Portland or another pick in lare 1st/ early 2nd.Im a big believer in this draft from 20 to 40. If Spurs can net two rotation guys from this draft ...
Bell
Wilson
Adebayo

I don't even know how that's going to workout in practice assuming pau opts in amd not traded, lee opts in and They dont trade aldridge not to mention bertans presumed increased role.
They need to draft two wing and one big. I highly doubt they draft two bigs
Wilson is a hybrid modern day 4 with versatility to defend most positions. He could play the SF too.
Bell and Adebayo will be modern NBA 5s, with both having versatility to play the modern 4 if they keep working on their shot ( both had shots that impressed me in workouts ive seen). Gasol or Lee or both may not be back. However, they both will be gone for sure by next year and so will LA most likely. Being those 3 and Dedmon will likely be gone by 2018, they sure as can draft two bigs. Especially two versatile ones that can both defend 1-5 in switches.
The value in the late 1st, early 2nd is at those two positions, not the wing. They will be reaching if they draft a wing in the lare 1st -- as they could just wait get a wing with close to same skill level at 59. Im hoping they target Jabari Bird or Davon Reed with 59. Hanga will essentially be the rookie wing brought in with a role while 59th will be signed to a two way deal as the 16th or 17th man.

Don't think it's possible to stretch a player and then re-sign him while still owing him money, although can't really find anything on this in the CBA. Guess it's so ridiculous they never bothered to put it into a clause
Pretty sure the rule is that the stretched player is eligible to be re-signed once the original contract length of time is over.Don't think it's possible to stretch a player and then re-sign him while still owing him money, although can't really find anything on this in the CBA.

Sources: Kevin Durant willing to take less than max to keep Warriors core intact
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant is willing to take less than the maximum contract extension he is eligible for this summer as a 10-year veteran if it helps the Warriors keep the core of their team intact, league sources told ESPN.
Durant's gesture would allow the Warriors to keep their entire core together for years to come even as star point guard Stephen Curry potentially signs one of the first five-year, "supermax" contracts created by the new collective bargaining agreement in which a team can reward one designated veteran player per year with a contract starting at 35 percent of next year's projected $101 million salary cap.
This is particularly relevant to free agents Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston, who have been pivotal to the Warriors' success as they have advanced to three straight NBA Finals.
In order to sign Durant to the maximum possible extension this offseason, starting at an estimated $35.4 million per year, the Warriors would have to renounce their rights to Iguodala and Livingston to create room under the salary cap. The most they can pay Durant in 2017-18 without creating cap space is 120 percent of his 2016-17 salary, a little less than $32 million.
Curry, long one of the league's most underpaid stars at about $11 million per year, could then sign a new contract starting at $35.4 million a season and be worth approximately $205 million over the next five years.
But because Durant is willing to take less than the maximum he is eligible for this season, according to league sources, the Warriors would not need to create room under the cap to re-sign him and thus would not need to renounce their rights to any of their other free agents.
By taking about $4 million less than his max next year and waiting to get his long-term extension for at least another season, Kevin Durant would give the Warriors a better chance at re-signing Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston, who will be free agents. Mark Sobhani/NBAE via Getty ImagesDurant could sign a so-called "non-Bird" extension for up to four years, but a more likely scenario would have him sign another two-year deal, with a player option on the second year (similar to what LeBron James did in Cleveland for several years). Durant would then be eligible for another one-plus-one deal next year starting at an estimated $35.7 million and a five-year, supermax contract of approximately $217 starting in 2019-20.
By taking approximately $4 million less than his max next year and waiting to get his long-term extension for at least another season, Durant would allow the Warriors a chance to use their Bird rights to re-sign their own free agents (mostly notably Iguodala and Livingston) to deals far more comparable to what they'd likely see on the open market.
Iguodala is expected to receive interest from a number of teams such as Phoenix, Minnesota and Atlanta, league sources tell ESPN.
While sources stressed that Durant has not yet decided on how to structure his next contract, it is believed he's willing to take less than the maximum he's eligible for this summer in order to keep the Warriors core together and give them the best chance of contending for years to come.
Durant has said on multiple occasions that he intends to stay with the Warriors for many years, and he has put roots down in the Bay Area both personally and professionally. Durant and his business partner Rich Kleiman have set up their business, the Durant Company, in the Bay Area. He has forged partnerships with California-based companies such as YouTube, Acorns and Postmates. In a New York Times profile this spring, Durant revealed that he is in business with Silicon Valley "super angel" investor Ronald Conway and consulting with Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple founder Steve Jobs.
According to the Times story, Durant and Kleiman watched the election results at the home of Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president for internet software and services, along with Tim Cook, Apple chief executive, and Pharrell Williams.
For the past four years, Curry has been one of the best bargains in the NBA, despite winning back-to-back MVP awards in 2015 and 2016.
Curry's contract, which was signed at a time when concerns over his chronically sprained ankles cast doubt that he'd reach his enormous potential, has enabled the Warriors to surround him with a stronger supporting cast than other teams with multiple superstars.
I can't find this but perhaps you're right.
However, in this scenario in 2018/19 Parker would be owed $5 mil from being stretched and additionally the MLE from a brand new contract, thus appearing twice on the cap sheet? If this is possible by way of not being accounted for in the CBA, I certainly have not seen it in action.
Say, Joel Embiid enters the league and is injured for the first 2 years. He's waived and stretched by september after year 1 and then re-signed as a FA for the max by year 3? This is definitely against the spirit of the rule, if not against the letter of the CBA.
I think this is the relevant passage, though i guess some interpretations might perceive it to mean the stretch years

5. Stretch
A team that elects to stretch a player’s salary for Salary Cap purposes will be not be allowed to re-sign or re-acquire the player prior to the July 1 following the last season of the player’s contract.
6. Signing Restriction
If a team and player agree on a buyout of the player’s contract to reduce the amount of protected compensation in connection with the team requesting waivers on the player, the team will not subsequently be permitted to sign the player to a new contract (or claim the player off of waivers) before the later of one year following the contract termination or the July 1 following the last season of the player’s contract.
Georgios Printezis
Would PATFO really wait until feb for Parker then insert him into the rotation? That just sounds like a nightmare.
Seeing that LA is puttting Clarkson on the trading block
Could be a nice addition, we need guards who can score imo plus he's a san antonio guy but i think the price will be high and we don't have much to give.
Just piggy backing the last two posts, I wonder what the Lakers want, picks? Would they want the expiring contract of a slightly used Gasol so they can go after George. I don't know their cap situation. Clarkson for Gasol works straight up on the trade machine.
Portland has picks 15, 20 and 26 in the 2017 NBA draft and could package one or a combination of the three in a trade.
With his contract maybe they just want salary dump ( we don't have something to give i think except some rights) , will be a good option for the spurs.
I would prefer to keep LMA and move him to center and move Gasol but someone mentioned the idea of Aldridge for Clarkson and a #28th pick in another thread.
Would save the Spurs about $10 million dollars (not including the cost of the player selected) and L.A would be able to try out Aldridge without tying up their long term salary (they'd actually clear future cap by moving Clarkson)
I just mentioned this two days ago.
Yeah. Hopefully SA really explores this.
tbh, four years of 18 Million dollars for a player like Crabe taste like Bad fish...
