If Kevin Martin is really signing, then yes. But right now, only Miller is confirmed and it's speculated that Butler will be waived.Cheers for the update.But two players have to be waived, right? Damn it, Bonner, sure but I would rather keep Butler.
God, please don't even joke about that. I would fall into a deep, deep, depression if it were the case.
I'm panicking about this too, believe me. It can't end like this for Manu.Cheers for the update.

Not on board with the Butler waiving. He's been solid so far.
Many thanks guys.No one is being officially waived until tomorrow. Miller is all but signed; his agent came out and confirmed that he'd be signing with the Spurs once he clears waivers.
Martin isn't a sure thing yet. Initially reports came out that the Spurs were favorites to sign him, but about an hour later we learned that they signed Andre MillerNot sure if they're still working on getting Martin or not. Martin still hasn't even reached a buyout agreement yet. Believe Monday is the last day he can be waived if he wants to be playoff eligible.
Is Miller a ploy to make Timmy feel younger?Not really sure how he moves the ball forward unless he's a bandaid for Manu not returning...
You and me both, bro. Not only does the team need him, but Manu deserves to walk off the court to thunderous applause a final time.
Because Butler is a journeyman who's about done. Younger guys like Simmons and Ray are cheap and can be developed.
Bonner says hi.
Manu's tweets have not been gloomy. But, at his age, Manu will take a lot of time getting back into game shape. So Miller would still be insurance.
Cut Bonner, then fire the Beckster and hire Bonner to do her "job"
I don't think Butler will leave. He was a teammate of Miller. Maybe that was worth something?
Well he does have OKC's corporate knowledge
Cutting Butler just seems like bad karma somehow.
I think Miller is just insurance/depth at the point guard position.Many thanks guys.
Is Miller a ploy to make Timmy feel younger?
I get that Miller is a steadying presence as a 3rd string point guard, and I'll admit I haven't watched him in a year or 2, but I feel like he's too old for that "vet saavy" to really matter. Maybe I'm wrong about how washed up he is, but how valuable is veteran leadership if the player is the slowest on the court and can't shoot
Now you you have me worried about Manu. I agree he can't go out like this.
I assume RC/Pop know something we don't. Probably about the state of Manu.
If its a choice my instinct would be Martin is a way better signing than Miller. Not sure if this is an either/or scenario.
While cutting Bonner is the most obvious, logical move.
I just don't see a reason to waive anyone other than Bonner and McCallum, in that order. They are by far the two most expendable players, especially with Miller in the fold.
I agree. Guy has played solid every time he has been on the floor.
It's just an unprecedented NBA injury. Who knows how he'll be after this? And getting these two guys, one can't help but wonder how bad it really is.
My thoughts
As much as I would hate to lose Butler, he is a journeyman, while McCallum is young with unknown potential. I actually like much of what he has shown us. I know that most of the posters here dislike Ray. But RC touted him pretty highly when we got him. Plus, we have seen very little of him in games, while Pop sees him practice. I could understand keeping him over Butler if we plan on re-signing him. But I honestly do not expect us to go after Martin (assuming he gets bought out) since we signed Miller.
Maybe about the state of DG's poor shooting. You gotta have spacing and points.
Hasta luego McCallum and Bonner. Butler is a player and can contribute. Bonner hasn't done and McCallum has contributed very little.
