Should the Spurs consider targeting Joakim Noah this offseason?

Only one that noticed the jewel I left there, tbh

If true, I don't get it. Thibodeau supposedly wanted Dieng. Now he has him and he provides a lot of what Noah did and might still do.

In addition, Towns is more of a center than a power forward and they're probably stuck with Pekovic.

If they are "indeed" interested in Noah, I'd imagine they try to extract good value for Dieng in a trade while he's in middle of rookie contract. Hard to imagine teams wanting to even look at Pek after he fell off the Grand Canyon.

Noah was Thibs favorite player & even if he can't play more than 30 minutes, Thibs probably values his leadership skills for such a young team. Unlike Dieng, Noah also enables them to run dribble handoffs, play high-low & find cutters, which is something they could exploit since they have athletes on the team. (Towns can play on the perimeter so spacing shouldn't be a major issue)

As far as Pek, they just have to buy him out b/c his contract is untradable. (They should probably keep Dieng to play backup considering Noah's health issues)

I have weird feeling Thibs is going to mess up that team with his co-GM powers

I think you have have to question TomT as a GM if he goes this route. He's new to the role and if he goes this route he may be susceptible to a bad trade or two and buy in on a veteran whose past his prime. He might very well value someone for what they used to be instead of what they are now. I'd be calling about a TP trade asap just to gauge his gullibility...
