Love Tiago. Great role player. But if you have the chance to get someone like Aldridge/Gasol you bid farewell. Splitter will never be some great sidekick next to Leonard.
I think it's more about replacing Manu right now than Tim. Manu is more likely to retire imo so we shouldn't really be looking at bigs. Once Tim goes we're retooling everything at that point anyway, so we can worry about that then.
I figure Tim comes back, Manu retires, Spurs bring back most everyone, let Ayers and Williams go, and keep the Cojo, Baynes, and Anderson development/implementation projects going. Try to snag a slick deal on a big for Splitter insurance with Ayers' spot. Hard part is to cover Manu's production. Dragic isn't ideal, and we wouldn't be able to afford him after bringing back Green. Not really interested in any other FA's at that position either. Best bet is to hope TP and Splitter get healthy, Cojo can make the leap so Mills can fill in for Manu, and Green / Kawhi both remain and turn a corner.
Team could very well look a lot like last year's imo. Especially if Tim and Manu don't retire, we'll be lucky to keep Green to even bring back last year's roster.
