What move are Spurs trying to pull before signing Leonard & Green?

[DesignatedT]

I bet they end up just giving West the remainder of whats left out of the cap or RE anyway.

[Mr. Body]

The options for another wing that can put the ball on the floor through cheap FA or trades is pretty scarce, though..

Jeremy Lamb
Fournier
Gordon
Covington(on and off at putting it on the floor)
Alexei Schved

I don't see the Spurs having the assets to trade for somebody. It would have to be a straight sign.

Who else can handle the ball out there. I like the Fournier idea but yeah.

Lamb maybe..Some Guards out there that can handle the ball, but Fournier would fill a couple of needs. Guard play and Wing play..Only other player that I can think of that can do the same is Jeremy Lamb but he really looked awkward handling the ball in OKC. He was a lot better in college..Probably just a result of poor system.

I wonder how much Will Barton is going to get, haven't heard any rumors about him..probably holding out for more money after putting up nice, empty numbers with the Nuggets following the trade from Portland, I would imagine..unless he already agreed with a team and I didn't hear about it..

Seems like several teams are trying to avoid or lessen their tax bills. Sometimes just being able to take on a player at 2.4M can save a team A LOT of money. Key is finding someone you like.

I have no idea what SA is doing, but it's interesting to speculate with the delay in signing.

Would you sign him for the reminder two million? He looks awful to me..

That makes sense.

Would be nice if the Spurs could swing Perry Jones if OKC ends up having to salary dump to keep Kanter. Presit has never done the Spurs a solid tbh

[DPG21920]

No way the Spurs would consider moving Patty or Boris - would they?

[Mugen]

That'd be silly.

[Mr. Body]

No way the Spurs would consider moving Patty or Boris - would they?

Their value is tremendous and near irreplaceable.

[hater]

Damn if only we had Beli on that $3M contract for one more year.

but but he's a cancer to our team

dumb ing re ed fanbase

[DesignatedT]

Starting to think the Spurs should have looked harder at Justin Holiday. Marcus Thornton is there...

Kanter signed with Blazers

[HarlemHeat37]

Probably not, I hate wings that can't shoot, his ceiling is probably Corey Brewer, but you could do worse with limited assets..

[Mugen]

hater, you re .

[HarlemHeat37]

Would be really stupid IMO, there's no way you can acquire a player that even touches their production..

[DPG21920]

We know that TD/LMA/KL/TP/MG/DG/DW are not tradeable. That only leaves Boris/Patty/Reggie/Kyle. Combining Kyle with Reggie (maybe teams really like Kyle) allows SA to bring back much more than 2.4M.

[Mugen]

Hopefully none of those teams have watched Summer League tbh.

[DPG21920]

Agreed - I was just speculating because this has been such a wild Summer.

[HarlemHeat37]

The Spurs have holes, but let's not act like these holes are significant, tbh..

Maybe the 4th wing player or the 5th big could be the difference in winning/losing a championship, but it's not significant enough to take a major risk or trade any assets..it's still July, too, we don't know what the buyout market will look like mid-season, or the caliber of players on the trading block(even on the Spurs roster, maybe Parker doesn't recover, for instance)..

[DesignatedT]

There's already way too much change on the team. Pop is probably already freakin out, doubt he wants to lose any more "corporate knowledge"

chances are midseason options will be better if we want to trade those. plus Anderson's value has probably never been lower

[apalisoc_9]

Damn, I guess the spurs aren't the international team anymore. Most players are from the US now..

if they have someone in mind, it will probably pop up in the next couple of days.

[DesignatedT]

Also, the Spurs will have the buyout deadline to be players in as well, like usual . Usually some decent talent out there at that time and I would imagine SA being a desirable landing spot for some lol
