Hey, I jumped the gun, I was quick to post on a hunch and not math.

Every at 30 million, I think they could get Pau on a 3/25 while keeping Anderson and the Simmons QO

It would depend on trading Parker instead of stretching him

I could be wrong in the math though, I admit. Pretty tired right now.

Another poster already posted the idea that we could trade Tony and Danny to cover CP3. I would not be opposed to that idea, but it is difficult to see PATFO doing it.

**NASpurs** · 06-02-2017

I would rather go young and go after someone like Hayward while having Dejounte take over the PG regins instead of signing Paul but if PATFO thinks Paul is the way to go, then I won't throw a big stink about it despite me ting on the front office this year by carrying all of this dead weight. I just want to go young and go after someone like Hayward who is durable as and a scorer. I don't know, just my personal preference.

The one good thing about Paul is that he has star cachet so the ring chasers would come especially with Kawhi being here too. So yeah, you might be paying more for Paul but it'll even out if the ring chasers and those looking for 1 year deals (in order to get bigger pay days) were to join the team.

spurs need to move parker. would MUCH rather have simmons over him.

ok, so I was just playing around, and I really don't care about the realistic nature of the trade, but I got on the ESPN Trade Machine.

I did a 4 team trade involving San Antonio, LA Clippers, Memphis, and Philly.

SA
Trades: Aldridge, Mills, Gasol
Receives: Paul, Randolph, Holmes, Ennis

LAC
Trades: Paul, Re
Receives: Aldridge, Stauskas

Memphis
Trades: Randolph, Ennis, Allen
Receives: Gasol, Re

Philly
Trades: Holmes, Stauskas
Receives: Mills, Allen

Of course these trades are pro San Antonio, as I am a homer, but I think Philly got two quality veterans to come off the bench for their backcourt. Memphis unites the Gasol Bros and Re gives them a lights out shooter to go with Conley. Really, the Clippers, IMO get the raw end of the deal. They get stuck with Aldridge and Stauskas, but they do get to move on from Paul.....and find a PG of the future.

like I said, this was just for fun, and totally unrealistic.....btw, while I am at it, we give simmons a decent raise, sign ian clark, draft a versatile big at 29, then Barry at 59. Oh, and if he so inclines, Manu can return for one more year, while Parker announces his retirement.

You realize you can't trade for pending free agents (or in Mills' case trade them away) right?

Guess ESPN ran out of money and fired the guy who keeps the trade machine updated.

^Most Spurs fans won't want him and will claim he isn't any more valuable than even a Danny Green despite Waiters bending Danny over on several occasions.

Either way, the Spurs can't afford him.

I forhot about mills being a free agent, and apparently espn has not updated the machime.

Btw, I despise paul. I am not sure I can pull for him to be a Spur......I can go for Westbrook in a heartbeat.

Bell
Wilson
Adebayo

Agreed. It's strange how the players projected between 9-19 just don't seem all that enticing. I never understood that about mock drafts. If that's the case, why not just bump up the guys from 20-40?

Tbh I wouldn't mind Waiters. He can create offense. He got in shape. He's got balls. Only thing is he probably costs too much now.

**raybies** · 06-04-2017

we were the best team the Warriors were gonna play in the playoffs. Sux Kawhi went down. This is ridiculous.

**cd98** · 06-04-2017

Hey this is almost like the Spurs winning a le.

How difficult can it be to find and sign several young, versatile players who can dribble-penetrate and shoot the 3 and also play great defense?

Seems pretty easy to me ... -- Spurstalk
