I was hoping he would come over next year, maybe he has an NBA-out in his deal. Would be nice to get him under that 4 year rookie scale deal instead of waiting another year and having to use cap space or an exception to sign him for more.
I tend to agree, the teams that will have cap space may not necessarily need a center or will be looking at higher profile big men such as Ibaka. The new MLE is around $8.5 million, which is what I would think the Spurs would value him at. A 4 year, $34 million dollar deal (maybe with a player option after 3 years) may be enough to retain him.

There's a decent chance that the Warriors might lose Iggy and or Livingston in FA. According to Nate Duncan, if Durant wants the full max then they would have to renounce both of them to get under the cap. Basically they would lose their bird rights to be able to resign both of them. Their bench could be pretty weak next year.
Spurs need to get any of the overseas stashes that show potential in earlier. Spurs development coaches are so much better and they're likely to reach closer to their potential here. Look at Jean Charles. It was a complete waste of time leaving him over there. I wonder if they would have bought Bertans in earlier if not for his injuries. I think he could have been further along too, but because of the injuries I guess it just wasn't possible to bring him in earlier.

Let's hope he and PATFO find a middle ground in the summer; they really need each other..Otherwise he is going to get paid and get back to scrub status on ty team![]()
Monster game, wow
probably gonna happen
Man, he was so close to joining the Warriors![]()
AVGing almost a double-double 9pts/9rebs as a starter. And he's literally the 5th offensive option![]()
SVG gonna throw the max at him, tbh.
After a few of you guys in the forum talked him up during the off-season, I was furious when I heard that the Warriors were going after him. Good call on getting him (I didn't know much about him at the time) as a cheap big that's been worth way more than he's getting paid.
It would have been very, very bad had the Warriors signed him. It would have shored up their front court weakness.
Teams just gonna throw money at him just out of spite for the Spurs, tbh..Boban's contract looked like one of those signings..
The Spurs will keep Dedmon, and most likely will let Mills go should he get a big contract offer. Gasol may also find himself traded in the off season to facilitate Dedmon. He is part of the future with Kawaii, Bertans, Murray, and Simmons. Anderson is still an enigma.
Once the roster size increases with new CBA this becomes a real option
I agree that the Livio situation should be a cautionary tale.
At this point the only viable player is Mulitinov (and maybe Hanga?). Cubbard pretty empty these days.
Yeah it is. Mulitinov is the guy I was talking about bringing in earlier. He's shown potential, there's no reason to leave him over there any longer. He'll learn more and develop better coming to the Spurs.
Mulitinov is averaging 4 & 3 overseas and getting Fathead minutes. Who knows how he'll do.
Wow. I thought he was better than that. I thought he'd be averaging something like 10 and 6. I wonder if teams overseas don't like playing players or spending resources developing them if they are NBA draft picks because they're likely to leave.
That's most likely why, although he is on a good team. Mulitinov is 11th in MPG on his team with the highest player only at 24 minutes/game
