If we don't pick up somebody good and free agency, I hope we tank after an injury or something. We could really use a good lottery pick every decade or so.
Actually I can think of a couple of other front offices that fit that description: Philly and Sactown (assuming Rondo leaves). However, that raises a second level question about Tony. If PATFO is willing to deal him, how low would they go?
A couple of months ago, I was fiddling with the Trade Machine, and I came up with a few three-team trades that didn't seem totally gonzo. IMHO, that is the best scenario for dealing Tony - in a 3-way trade.

Add players that can guard multiple positions, dribble the basketball, shoot and/or attack the basket.
basically golden state warriors roster
so...
We know Parker, Danny, LMA, Kawhi, Anderson and Bonner are coming back...
Don't know what we'll do with Boris, and we'll find out if Tim and Manu come back for one more run, probably on a limited role...
let's bump this:
We have Kawhi, Green, Parker, LMA back next year.
Duncan, Manu, Boris, West should all be gone.
What can we get for Patty?
Can big head stay in the D-League?
I'd like to keep Boban as a 3rd/4th Big.
So all we need is a Big who isn't soft to play next to LaMarshmellow, a couple wing players that can actually dribble, and a PG that can play at an All-star level.
Blow up the bench, convince Tim and Manu to come back, and see if you can get anyone in FA. Unlike past years recently, Spurs now have a core to build on in Kawhi/Green/LMA.
They're done like Tim's knees. If they do come back, hopefully they can take Becky's spot on that side of the bench.
Tim looked pretty damn good when played extended minutes. Pop just needs to call his number more to get him a rhythm.
and we've got a winner.
Trade KL - He's got a ton of value. When his athleticism goes, he's danny green. His defensive instincts will never go, just like danny, but SA is paying A TON, for a player who can't control the game, but SA tries to force the issue with. KL was put on ROBERSON and he had a career night, due to KL trying to cherry pick.
Trade LMA - Overpaid. Get something for value. He can't rebound in traffic. Bye. Have Bulls do a sign and trade with Noah, Taj Gibson and Brooks or throw in Parker and give SA rose.
Duncan/Manu/Bonner - Retire Thanks
Martin - Bye
Diaw - BYE
Green/Boban/Simmons - Keep Go through the beatdown process and luck out in 10 years with a #1 draft pick
Agreed.
Kobe got 60 his final game. Don't confuse Tim mustering up a fine swan song for him still being a daily player. He'd have to come back for the min for it to make any sense.
That's what I'm hoping he does. Can't make any moves unless Porker is offloaded.
It's really all about the market and what we can get... rather have Tim and Manu back than another West, Patty rehash, tbh...
noah/lin/bazemore
Championship window is closed unless a Superstar like Durant signs. If not the Spurs are the new guests. Bottom 4 seed with a ceiling of the second round.

Since last week's piece about the Spurs' free-agent interest in Kevin Durant more than one spy has whispered: They'll court Mike Conley, too
Horford would be ideal, but I think he is too expensive. I know a lot of people donīt like Pau because of his defense but he could be have relatively cheap, let's hope Memphis do a sign and trade of Conley for Tony and someone else. the only way Tony goes is if he wants to go, and with Timmy and Manu retiring and he not being the option he wants to be I think is very possible. players like Fournier,Bazemore,Mahinmi, Dudley, Agustin and Teletovic are intriguing.
Spurs need to stop ing around and start bringing in their old draft picks.
Boris and west seem done; patty left a lot to be desired this season; I think Tim comes back for a bench/limited role (the west role); manu unclear.
Like connoly idea a lot. Solid defender with legit 3 range unlike Parker. After this series the KD thing is a fantasy.
I like Conley, i'm officially a fan of making him the no. 1 priority this offseason.
Lot of guys going to get paid this year, but i really like Kent Bazemore on the 2nd unit tbh.....
Don't max Conley imo.
get splitter back
Well the off season started sooner than everyone expected. I just don't have high expectations for the Spurs anymore. They probably won't even make it past round 1 next year, if they even make the playoffs.
A quick cut and paste from another thread I wrote in.
But I'll add that if Manu retires (highly likely) the chances of trading Parker increases as the big 3 would have officially come to an end with Manu retirement. If that is the case, you always look for 8 playoff rotational players, and 2 specialists.
So, lets say Timmy comes back.
Green
Leonard
LMA
TD
Anderson and Simmons because they are dirt cheap.
So it is a no brainer the rumour leaked to target Conley as it is a position of need. Paul Gasol has had a rumour to join us as well. With this series loss, we can pretty much scrap out Durant.
If the Spurs get P Gasol, keep TD and Bobon, the center position is set. I would love to have Courtney Lee, Batum (too expensive). If we cant get Gasol or lose TD, then you kinda need to look at Noah who would work so well with LMA and Leonard/Green defense. The PF position is really lacking for the LMA center strategy, Ilyasova maybe? If the Spurs are going to embrace the small ball, switching era, then Noah, Batum, and Lee would be my targets, and try and trade Parker/Diaw for Teague or something to run the show.
