LOL at the "bring all the same guys back" crowd. You are ignoring that we wore Duncan out and it showed at the end of the last two games. 0 points 4th quarter and OT game 6. The missed bunny at end of game 7 to tie. We need to lean on Duncan less next year, but Splitter was a complete disaster on the court against Miami. I can tolerate Splitter, but we can and really need better or we don't win the championship.
I said at the outset we need a combo guard who can run point and score a little which was why I suggested Jack like others. Jack is Gary Neal on steroids. He's everything we wish Neal was. He can't be any worse on defense than Neal either. If we can't get Jack, find me someone similar.
I have a few questions regarding Al Jefferson. Would signing him actually hurt our team? With Splitter? W/O Splitter? Also, what would we have to pay to get him? Do you think he would actually take a pay cut to play with a contender like the Spurs and alongside Tim Duncan, a player he looks up to and admires?
I guess you missed that awful hook shot in one of his last painful minutes on the court. The guy has no offensive game other than "nifty" (soft) lay ins around the basket and wide open dunks. He was much too slow to stay on the court against the Heat and did not rebound or protect the rim at all. If resigning this guy is our biggest offseason move, we are SCREWED.
Iggy shot 39% from 3 his last year in Philly. He had a bad regular season this year shooting the 3 but shot in the high 40s during a small sample size in this year's playoffs. Get him to work with Chip and you have a guy who prob shoots at a 38-40% clip from 3. Add to that he can run an offense and rebound the ball, PLUS is regarded as one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, and you have a very nice upgrade over Danny Green at the 2.the lineup that chasley posted would have atrocious spacing, which is paramount in today's NBA..
Iguodala makes absolutely no sense for this team, unless he agrees to be a 6th man for cheaper than other teams will overpay for him being a starter, tbh..
The Spurs didn't have problems defending, they had problems with ball-handling when Parker went out, along with an inconsistent bench and lack of consistent offensive production..
And let me say, Iggy can play the 2. Seems you guys are restricting him to only playing the 3 but that is not accurate. He started at SG all year for Denver.
Completely agree. Spurs only need a back-up SF who is able to play 10 mins per game.
I don't think he will a nice upgrade over Green. Green is arguably a better defender when comes to defending PGs and a better spot up shooter.
And he's sucked at it. Last season was by far his best in a while, and he wasn't any better than Green (exact same offensive and defensive PERs). Despite his assist numbers, he's not a great play-maker. He is also not nearly the shooter Green is, despite the assumption that he would be. What he is is a ball-dominating wing who's a great finisher but who's individual impact is massively overrated.
That said, he'd make a great sixth man. He'd be an effective small-forward on the bench, and he'd be fine as the third wing in small-ball. But he's not a two-guard, and Denver's desire to make him one really hurt both his production and the team's production.

Paul Millsap is an unheralded, undersized power forward that brings a lot to the table and doesn’t take much off.
While he’s not going to score 50 points or grab 30 rebounds, the seven-year veteran brings his lunch pail and blue collar work ethic every time he steps onto the court.
He’s an extremely efficient player that is capable of defending effectively despite his height limitations, has range out to the three-point line to draw defenders and does all the little things to help the Utah Jazz win.
For those reasons, we think he’d be a perfect acquisition for the aging San Antonio Spurs, who could use another big man to compliment the frontcourt rotation.
If Millsap is able to log 30 minutes a night, San Antonio will be fresher for the playoffs and have a better chance of succeeding after the regular-season grind.
Prediction: San Antonio Spurs
Milsap would be a tremendous pick up for the Spurs...
It'd be great to be able to sign a guy like Jarrett Jack. Our one true weakness was back up pg.
DO NOT sign Tiago Splitter
Go after West J.Smith or Milsaap or get 2 out of 3
Manu wants to win.Sign for veteran minimum.
We also need a backup PG to Tony Parker or a 6th man to replace Manu. Jarrett Jack would be perfect. Sign Jarrett Jack and one of the big guys that you mentioned.
Spurs will take a hard look at Ron Artest once/if the Lakers amnesty him. Then they'll quickly realize it'd a dumb decision and they'll sign some other player who probably won't play much.
Yeah, Artest was finished in 2011.
I can't believe we'd spend $20 million on bringing back Splitter/Neal/Bonner that's ludicrous! Timmy and TP need to get out of their funk quick and start dialing for top FAs.
My latest plan is spend $20 million on Splitter/Jack/Milsap. That solves our small ball problem against heat, while retaining Splitter to deal with the few teams with two quality bigs.
So $6.6 million for each of those guys, and we get to call them our "Mini Big Three," or "Big 3 Part Deux." Pretty catchy eh?

that 20 gonna be gone
splitter shuldnt get more than 7 mill if he does let his ass go even 7 is too much but whatever centers are overpaid
manu anymore than 5 is crazy but hey its the spurs prolly give him 6 or 7 mill to be nice
thats 6 mill left neal maybe a small tier free agent..
as much as id love to use tht money elsewhere the spurs would never do that. same team back
my hopes for oj though
LOL then no championship for sure next year because a lot of teams in the West are going to get better. GSW, Mavericks, Clippers, Rockets, and OKC. They are all younger too BTW. Spurs FO should at least try their as*es off to sign a couple of good free agents. That's all were asking.that 20 gonna be gone
splitter shuldnt get more than 7 mill if he does let his ass go even 7 is too much but whatever centers are overpaid

If the Spurs spend $20 million on Splitter, Manu, and Neal then I'll wait until the win the next Robinson/Duncan in the lottery before watching them again.that 20 gonna be gone

every year we hope for any key free agents but we never get em. sucks but same story every year.....
we do need to add some instant offense though... we go into some really hard to watch offensive stretches
They were younger this year. How are they going to get better?
Say try and get Dallas' #13 Pick...Draft Rudy Gobert bring him Immediately so TD can teach him...Go after Al Jefferson, I believe he would love to play alongside TD..And a must would be to get an actual PG who can carry the load with Parker on the bench..TJ Ford retiring early hurt us last year and could've really used him this year..Manu should be welcomed back also, and we could really use a back up SF So ing Punk Ass Pop doesn't ruin Kawhi before the Playoffs start..
A rim protecting big that finishes strong and a combo guard that can handle the ball and score a little are our needs.
