Official 2016 Spurs Offseason Thread

O/U at $60M/4

Brooklyn is desperate, so over. Plus they have Lin back in NYC.

You have to (IMO) stop looking at just the math. I agree with your math, but you are basically by default defending every single contract handed out. So you think there are no bad contracts then essentially this off season?

He's not only not worth 15% of the cap, there's no reason to believe he will be a starting quality center for 4 years. Was anyone else offering 4 years for him? Noah, OK, he's a name and was very good once and has friends in NY. But Mozgov?

4th year is a team option . Very attractive trade chip by ASB of year 3 ..
It's basically 3 years 48 million which is still to high tbh .....but not what you are making it out to be.

Isn't that the max he could've gotten under the Arenas rule, or is the deal below that threshold?

I understand that he could have shopped around, gotten a bigger Arenas offer, and then forced the Lakers to match.

I can't believe that this is what the NBPA wanted. Sure, now you have a nouveau-riche group of players to balance out the old max guys, but a cap-smoothing measure would have given more players money. It's crazy how guys like Lebron hoodwink them.

That time when hearing Lin gor $12 mil per makes you want to congratulate the GM getting him for being astute.

[Chinook]

Oh, so under. That's not bad for them at all. Marks is doing some work.

I had not heard that it was a team option in year 4. I mentioned earlier we need to see if it was a team option so I did have that caveat in there.

Sean Marks making a solid start to free agency

It's a sad life we live.

[CGD]

Another shocking low deal if true considering this Pg market. He must be banking on this NYC endorsements

I mean, Lin has 0 upside and they will suck tremendously (no chance at a POR like season either with smart upside signings) so I don't know the appeal other than they have to sign someone and he's very tradeable.

A lot will depend on how Marks rebuilds the front court. He has a nice foundation of perimeter players right now. The East may well fall back down a bit, so I wouldn't be surprised to see the Nets in the mix for the eight-seed.

Sign Pau and Bayless, that would be a successful offseason.

You cray IMO. What foundation?

[DPG21920]

Man at that contract, SA could have had a legit shot at Lin, no?

[NASpurs]

Woj: Sources: Lin's three-year, $36M deal with Nets includes a player option on third year, trade kicker and bonuses.

This forum needs a tweet button. Typing out the tags every time on the phone gets annoying.

Free Agency recap so far

[Chinook]

LeVert, RHJ, Cousins and Lin. That's fine, and it'll be even better once the a guy like Henderson is added.

I actually prefer the way ace3g posts tweets. The embeds loading makes me lose where I was in the thread.

I mean, I like RHJ as much as the next guy and LeVert has promise, but those guys are so unproven. I don't think you can call that a foundation yet (at least for a playoff team). It's great under the cir stance but very young and we don't know if any of them are players outside of Lin.

Looking over that list, Matt Barnes is coming to the Spurs, isn't he?

Lin is actually a very good playmaker. He just doesn't have the athleticism or the shot. However, orchestrating the offense is extremely important in this NBA.

Marks should know what he's doing.

I'd stop watching basketball. Not even kidding.
